NASHVILLE, Tenn. (September 4, 2018) - Pet Community Center will host the 11th Annual Art for Animals at The Factory at Franklin on Saturday, September 15, 2018. The event is the non-profit’s largest annual fundraiser with all proceeds benefiting spay and neuter and animal saving programs.
Pet Community Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the human-animal bond through accessible veterinary care & support services serving Middle Tennessee. They offer affordable and no-cost spay/neuter services, low-cost veterinary care and the Cat Community Program. Natalie Corwin, President / CEO of Pet Community Center says, "We performed our first spay/neuter surgery in 2011 and since that time we've helped 55,000 dogs and cats, the shelter intake rate has dropped by half and euthanasia has gone from over 80% to 14%. I'm very proud of what we've accomplished for Nashville's animals."
