Love on a Leash®

The Nashville chapter was originally established as the Music City chapter in September of 2015. It was dissolved in 2023, and ressurected in 2024 as the Nashville 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. Volunteer teams also visit other sites independently and several teams visit hospice patients and the Vanderbilt campus also. The chapter is proud to serve the entire Nashville community.
