It was a troubling scene inside a Clarksville storage unit several dogs were found abandoned and police said one person has been charged in the case.
Finding a new home for a pet or resources to help can be difficult, but Metro Animal Care and Control provided some options for Nashvillians to overcome potential challenges of being a pet owner.
It’s a problem Matt Peters with MACC said they see over and over.
“We see that everyday every couple of days where someone might just leave an animal sometimes its here sometimes its somewhere else,” said Peters.
It can be heartbreaking to have barriers for care when pets are part of your home. Peters said he knows there is always a reason pets are abandoned but he said if you are facing challenges for care MACC will do their best to help whether it is with their pet pantry, behavioral issues at home or re-homing.
“Maybe you are still caring for your dog for a couple more days but we are going to try and get the word out there that your dog is available for adoption,” said Peters.
