Unleashed Event Information
Event Location
2023 Unleashed will take place at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel on West End Avenue in Nashville.
Bring Your Pet
So I can really bring my dog? Yes! That’s the whole idea behind the event. We ask that you use personal discretion when it comes to understanding your dog’s ability to cohabitate in a room with a couple hundred people and their pets, but yes that’s what Unleashed is all about!
Dress / Apparel
This year’s event theme is all things sports! We’re inviting everyone to join in the celebration and rock your best sporty gear. Otherwise, come comfortable and you do you.
Event Menu
This year we’re excited to announce that we’ve worked with the culinary team at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel to provide an amazing plant-based menu for all of our Unleashed attendees! When you support Nashville Humane you’re supporting ALL animals!
Types of Tickets
We offer individual seats as well as full tables. If you’d like to purchase either individual tickets or a full table, be sure and visit our ticket page.
Potty Breaks
We have a whole team of volunteers that are happy to take your pup on a potty break if necessary. Just hold up your Potty Break paddle and someone will be happy to take Rover potty so you don’t miss any of the show!
Special Add-Ons
In addition to just being Nashville’s “Best Charity Event” two-years-running, you can add-on to your party experience by hiring an NHA puppy escort! Check out all of our add-on experiences on our ticket page.
It’s all for the pets
Unleashed is one of Nashville Humane’s four ‘signature’ fundraising events. As an entirely gift-based not-for-profit NHA relies on events like these to raise funds to support the homeless and adoptable pet community in Nashville, middle Tennessee and all across the country. All the proceeds from Unleashed go toward benefiting NHA.

Table Wine Service
How about a couple bottles of wine for your table? With this Table Reservation Add-On you’ll get one bottle of red and one bottle of white wine. That’s two bottles of fun because raising funds for shelter pets can make you thirsty!

Personal Puppy Escort
Don’t have a dog of your own to bring to Unleashed? What if you could have a one-night-only “engagement” with a puppy we provide and also sponsor their adoption fee?
