Transportation
Every week, the Wags & Walks team visits high-kill shelters in and around Nashville and rural counties. We often need help transferring multiple dogs from the shelters and to and from our vets. If you join our transportation team, you will be the reason dogs get their freedom rides, and our pups with medical needs will get the care they deserve!

Wags Club
As a member of Wags Club, you’ll walk, feed, and play with pups while they patiently wait to be adopted. The time you spend with them, socializing and exercising, will enrich their lives and prepare them for adoption. You’ll help the dogs adjust from their previous lives at the shelter and give them the love and attention they deserve, sometimes for the first time.
Volunteer Stories
“Volunteering with Wags and Walks has been an incredible opportunity to connect deserving pets with loving homes. It means so much to help families experience the joy of raising a pup.”
“Volunteering for Wags & Walks ensures others have the chance to bring love home, just like we did. Providing transport fills my cup to overflowing!”
“Animal rescue has always been important to me, but it was difficult to find volunteer work that fit my schedule and abilities. It’s so rewarding to help dogs find their forever homes while hanging out with puppies and meeting awesome people who love dogs as much as I do!”
