Love on a Leash®

The Nashville chapter was founded in September 2015 as the Music City chapter. The chapter coordinates group visits each month at senior living facilities, special needs classrooms, schools, hospitals, doctor’s offices, and libraries in Nashville and the surrounding area. Members also visit other sites independently and several teams visit hospice patients and the Vanderbilt campus as well. The chapter feels great pride in serving the entire Nashville community.
