Specialty License Plate

We are excited to announce that Nashville Humane has been given the opportunity to have our own specialty license plate! To approve this plate for production, we need 1,000 Tennessee residents to sign up first.

The funds raised from our specialty license plate will go directly toward our Darcy Lashinsky Community Pet Food Bank. This program serves as an integral resource for households in need of supplemental pet food. By offering resources to our community that allow them to care for their cherished family pets rather than surrender them to the shelter, we are able to leave the kennels open for animals who truly need them. After all, the best shelter pet is one that never makes it to the shelter in the first place!

If you are a Tennessee resident, we hope that you’ll support NHA on your vehicle! For further information and to sign up, please click the button below.

Did you know, you can sign up for a license plate during your adoption at Nashville Humane and receive 50% off your pet’s adoption fee?
