Not Just a Personal Problem

In this episode of The Bark, we explore how responsible pet ownership isn’t just a personal choice — it’s a community issue that impacts us all. From securing your pet and understanding the risks of choosing not to fix your animals, to the serious consequences of animal abandonment and chaining dogs, we break down why individual actions have statewide effects.

Irresponsible pet care doesn’t just harm animals—it narrows the path of opportunity for responsible pet ownership, and every person that calls Tennessee “home.” Join us as we discuss how every choice affects animal welfare, public safety, and the future of our local animal climate.

If you're ready to make a difference—or need a reason to care—this episode will give you both the insight and the push to get involved.
