Southern Alliance for People & Animal Welfare (SAFPAW) is a Nashville-based non-profit dedicated to breaking down poverty obstacles for low-income and unhoused community members and their companion pets. The organization supports cats and dogs through free spay/neuter transports, vaccinations, basic wellness care, food and supply distribution, and temporary foster placement. Operating throughout Davidson County and the greater Nashville area, SAFPAW strives to keep pets healthy, safely housed, and united with their families.
Varies by animal / contact for details
Adopters must provide contact information, demonstrate an ability to care for a companion animal in a safe home environment, and agree to keep the pet up to date on essential wellness care.
Prospective adopters can connect through SAFPAW's outreach channels or partner adoption events. Inquiries and applications can be initiated by contacting SAFPAW via text or email to meet eligible rescue cats and complete adoption arrangements.
SAFPAW primarily focuses on intake prevention, emergency temporary foster care, and pet retention assistance (providing pet food, supplies, and free medical care so owners facing hardship do not need to surrender their animals). For direct surrender requests or emergency rehoming, pet owners should contact SAFPAW directly.
