We want to end pet homelessness and we believe it can be done. Keeping pets in their loving homes is the key to our success. Pet Community Center (PCC) operates a high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter and vaccine clinic in East Nashville run by highly skilled veterinarians, clinicians, and nonprofit professionals. In partnership with Metro Animal Care and Control and local rescue groups, PCC has been pivotal in the decline of the euthanasia rate in Davidson County, which has dropped from 80% in 2011 to less than 10% in 2020. Additionally, PCC is tackling barriers to veterinary care and provides outreach and support to pet owners who live in veterinary care deserts through the Pets for Life program. The results of PCC’s work include lower pet homelessness rates, lower shelter euthanasia rates, and improved public health and quality of life in neighborhoods across Davidson County.
