Don't have a dog for "bring your dog to work day"? Why not borrow one?

Metro Animal Care and Control is welcoming members of the community to its shelter on Friday. Community members will be able to borrow an adoptable dog as part of "bring your dog to work day."

Many dogs will be available for a Bow Wow Breakout. People who participate will also be able to extend the breakout for a sleepover. The dog must be returned Saturday.

The shelter's hours will be extended to 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. to allow time to pick up a dog on the way to work, and return the dog after office hours.

“Time out of the shelter, whether it be through a short-term Bow Wow Breakout or long-term foster care, is mentally stimulating for the dogs and gives them a chance to relax without the commotion that is a part of shelter life,” said Lauren Bluestone, MACC’s director.

MACC is located at 5125 Harding Place, Nashville, 37211. Bow Wow Breakouts are offered every day.
