Pet Loss Support Group
2023-02-19 10:00 - 11:30 UTC | Nashville Humane, 213 Oceola Ave, Nashville, TN, 37209, United States
Anyone who has loved a pet has had their heart broken by one, too. Grief can be a complicated and lonely experience, and there is comfort in connecting with people who understand what you are going through. ⁠
⁠
In partnership with Paws to Remember Nashville, we are glad to offer a Pet Grief Support group that meets at NHA monthly. These meetings provide a safe space to find the support you need when you’ve experienced the loss of a beloved pet. Sessions are free and led by Paws To Remember owner and founder and Pet Bereavement Counselor Maryglenn Warnock, whose knowledge, guidance, and kindness provide a haven of understanding. ⁠

Nashville Humane and TailGate Brewery are joining forces to make your pet a superstar on a limited edition TailGate brew!
Submit your pet’s photo or vote for your favorite one!
Here’s how it works. Between August 7 and August 21, 2023, you can submit a photo of your pet (dog or cat) as a nominee to be featured on the wrapper of the 2023 TailGate Brewery Adoption Ale. It’s a special limited edition brew by the beer wizards at TailGate Brewery. Entering your pet is just a $20 donation to Nashville Humane.
Vote for your favorite. Then, starting August 22, you, your friends, and everyone who loves your pet’s photo will be allowed to vote for their favorite submission until Sept. 17, 2023. Each vote is a $1 donation to Nashville Humane.
We have a winner. Once all the votes are tabulated, the dog with the highest number of votes and the cat with the highest number of votes will be declared the respective winners.
All of this is followed closely by instant celebrity for your four-legged friend as one of the two featured pets on the inaugural TailGate Brewery Adoption Ale!
Supporters of Nashville Humane and lovers of great beer will be able to find Adoption Ale at all TailGate Brewery taprooms, as well as NHA’s Dog Day Festival at Centennial Park on October 21st.
Why it matters. Here’s the best part of this whole deal… all of the proceeds for this contest go straight toward supporting the life-saving efforts and mission at Nashville Humane. From our Transport Program which brings pets from our back yard and all across the country into our program, to our Emergency Medical Fund that literally saves lives daily, your support makes little furry dreams come true. Every year we help nearly 4,000 pets find their perfect matches, all while maintaining a 99% annual save rate. As an entirely gift-based not-for-profit, all of this is made possible thanks to generous donations and fun contests just like this!
