About Friends of MACC & MACC

Friends of MACC is a group of animal lovers rallying around MACC, Davidson County’s only open admission shelter, to save more lives and serve more pets and people in our community. For instance, Friends of MACC provides critical funding for MACC’s emergency medical fund, safety net program, and foster program. We also enrich the shelter experience for our shelter pets by providing much-needed supplies, spending time with the animals in the shelter, promoting adoptable animals and MACC’s services, and funding special projects that help make our homeless animals happier and healthier during their stay at the shelter.
