Metro Animal Care and Control in Nashville is urgently looking for foster homes after a power outage disabled the air conditioning in a dog adoption room on Thursday. Following several days of record-high temperatures in the area, the forecast indicates that the dangerous late-summer heat will continue through the weekend, with some relief expected next week.

The shelter has set up temporary air conditioning units to cool the space, but due to the extreme temperatures projected, there is an urgent need to empty the room. They are specifically seeking short-term fosters who can pick up dogs starting Friday, September 18, at noon. The shelter emphasized that even a few days in a foster home can make a significant difference for the animals.
Those interested in fostering can visit Metro Animal Care and Control between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m.
