Pack Leader of the Month

This February, we’re excited to officially launch a new monthly initiative called Pack Leader of the Month.
Each month, we will highlight one incredible adoptable dog who has been waiting for their home and while relying on donors to cover that dog’s adoption fee. By removing the financial barrier, we hope to help the right family say yes — and create more happy endings for dogs who deserve them most.

Meet Maple, our February Pack Leader. Maple is the kind of dog who makes friends everywhere she goes. She was found as a stray, but it’s clear this sweet girl knew love once before—she already knows her basic commands like sit, down, touch, and look, walks beautifully on leash, and is fully potty trained. Treat-motivated and eager to please, Maple has quickly proven herself to be a star student who truly enjoys learning.

While she loves a good game of fetch and has a playful, goofy side (her dinosaur costume is legendary), Maple is also a certified couch potato. In her kennel, she’s happiest curled up close, soaking up affection, and if you sit down, don’t be surprised if she climbs right into your lap. She’s affectionate, gentle, and ready to be someone’s loyal best friend.

Maple is currently being cared for by Nashville Humane Association, a local, entirely donor-funded shelter that has been saving lives in Middle Tennessee and beyond for decades. With a remarkable 98% save rate, Nashville Humane is known for stepping in where help is needed most—rescuing animals from neglect, hoarding situations, puppy mills, and disaster zones. Voted Nashville’s Best Place to Adopt year after year, they are truly a neighborhood shelter with a global impact, powered entirely by community support.

Every contribution will go directly towards the adoption fee for that month's Pack Leader. Any additional support goes toward supplies, training, medical care, and rescue needs — creating real impact beyond the adoption itself. But this is about more than just covering a fee — it’s about becoming part of a dog’s journey from waiting to belonging. It’s about being the reason a family says yes. The reason a kennel door opens. The reason a life changes.

As a Donor, you’re not just supporting a program — you’re becoming part of a dog’s journey home. You’re stepping into the story of a dog like Maple and helping write the chapter that leads her home.

Whether you choose to give monthly or make a one-time gift, your support directly changes a dog’s future. It removes barriers, opens doors, and creates real, tangible impact.

Join the Pack. Help turn waiting dogs into forever dogs — one life-changing adoption at a time. 🐾❤️
