Participate In The Waterford Crossings Pet Drive To Help Celebrate The Nashville Humane Society’s 80th Birthday!
Waterford Crossings in Antioch, Tennessee, is committed to helping mark the 80th birthday of the Nashville Humane Association—with an April pet drive! Incorporated in 1946 to protect the well-being of animals in Davidson County, the association is one of the oldest service organizations in Nashville. It’s committed to finding responsible homes, controlling pet overpopulation, and promoting the humane treatment of animals. None of the amazing work it performs daily for animals and their people would be possible without support. And because Waterford Crossings is such a pet-friendly apartment home community (complete with two pet parks!), the partnership just makes sense!
