Lisa Ross Parker Foundation Announces a Grant to Dog Deserve Better

We're so excited to announce a grant to Dogs Deserve Better (https://www.ddbnashville.org)! Their 100% Volunteer Team, aka #TeamDDBNashville, works diligently in under-serviced neighborhoods to provide nonjudgmental assistance to families with dogs who are continuously chained/penned. One in six Americans lives in poverty in the US. Six out of ten households have pets. This means way too many pets are living in poverty as well. Most of these families are giving their dog everything they have to offer, which is not always enough.

#TeamDDBNashville is building relationships with people in these communities. They are educating families on proper care of their pets, as well as providing much needed supplies and medical care to keep the dogs healthy and happy. Their team offers free spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness care, flea prevention, collars, basic obedience training and in many cases, a fence so the dog has a safe area in which to run free and enjoy life. For the families that decide they cannot offer their dog a better life, they surrender their dogs to DDB Nashville who rehabilitates the dog and finds them a new, loving, forever home. They are doing a great job and we're happy to support them!
