Impact Statement from Nonprofit
In the most recent year, Agape has enhanced a dog training program for foster dogs that resulted in almost a zero return rate, meaning almost no dogs come back to our program once adopted. The dog training program included sending some of our harder-to-adopt dogs to professional one-on-one training classes, which is why these dogs ultimately got adopted. We implemented a program that provided food for the animals of people who experienced hardships due to the economic downturn. Agape offered multiple group volunteer opportunities to promote community involvement and socialization for the animals in our care. We provided our foster parents with continuing education and pet emergency training to ensure that their knowledge remain cutting edge. In the upcoming year, we hope to implement a wide-ranged foster parent campaign in hopes that we will double our yearly average number of dogs adopted. While we currently use online marketing campaigns through Constant Contact, we hope to grow our database to unite and better education the Middle Tennessee animal community. Agape’s dog training program has a proven success rate and lives have been saved. We hope to increase funds in order to grow the program to accommodate 50+ dogs in need per year.

CEO/Executive Director Statement:
As director of Agape, I have a specific vision regarding the future of the organization. We hope to establish an education facility that includes training space, meet and greet areas, and general office space. We are unique in nature because of our specialized one-on-one foster parent and dog training programs. We provide a network of resources, continuing education, and general support that is not always present in the animal rescue/welfare community. We will continue to expand our efforts through Middle Tennessee in hopes of lowering the number of dogs euthanized in the local county shelters. We will do this by increasing the number of dogs in fabulous forever homes who have been advantageously placed with quality homes.

Program Description:
Through our foster care training program, we strive to provide the dogs in our care with more than just a safe temporary home. Our goal is to teach them good house manners and basic obedience skills, including how to walk nicely on a leash. Depending on how long our dogs are in foster care, they will have learned basic commands like SIT, STAY, DOWN, SIT TO PET, SAY HI, and more. Each adoptive family is supplied with materials to make sure the dogs transition is stress free and a positive experience. These items include: list of vocabulary words, guide to living with dogs and kids, guides to living with a new dog in general.

Program Description:
Agape dogs are taken care of by a network of foster homes, where dedicated foster parents care for and nurture the dog until he/she can be placed in their forever homes. We are always looking for people who can care for our dogs as if they are a personal pet. Our foster parents are expected to monitor a dog’s behavior while assisting him/her with training and any medical or emotional rehabilitation that may be needed. We offer periodic group training classes and many resources for continuing education to all foster parents. While the organization is financially responsible for the dogs in the program, the foster parents provide a caring heart loving home.
