\"MontgomeryMontgomery County, TN<\/strong> \u2013 Montgomery County Animal Care and Control (MCACC) is pleased to partner with the Madison Street Lowe\u2019s for the store\u2019s annual Lowe\u2019s Heroes Project.<\/p>\n

On September 28th, 29th and 30th, MCACC will be taken over by Lowe\u2019s Heroes employee volunteers and other community volunteers that wish to join in. Work includes interior facility painting, exterior wood staining, landscaping and outside kennel roofing.<\/p>\n

\"Lowe\u2019s<\/a>
\nMelissa James, Human Resources Manager for Lowe\u2019s on Madison Street states, \u201cLowe\u2019s wants to make a difference in our local community through the Heroes project. Pets have the ability to make a positive impact on our mental and emotional health. As a military spouse, my pet provides security and company when my husband is deployed. Our store is proud to partner with MCACC to make a lasting impact, and to make the facility more comfortable for the animals that spend time here.”<\/p>\n

MCACC Director Jeanette Farrell adds, \u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Lowe\u2019s on this project. Our interior will get a new color scheme with fresh paint and our outdoor kennel areas will be getting a huge overhaul to increase the look, functionality and safety for the animals and volunteers. I cannot express how excited and thankful we are to be a part of this project.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MCACC facility will be closed to the public on Wednesday, September 28th and Friday, September 30th. On Thursday, September 29th, Lowe\u2019s and MCACC will host an animal adoption event from 11:00am to 7:00pm and invites the public to come by and find a new furry family member!<\/p>\n

Thank you to our donors, Valspar and Olympic Paint, for donating the paint and to Lowe\u2019s for providing all additional supplies to complete the project. The estimated project cost including donations, supplies and manpower is equivalent to $10,000.<\/p>\n

Although MCACC will be closed to the public on Wednesday and Friday during the project, groups and citizens wishing to help with the project are welcome but must register. To register to volunteer, contact Elizabeth Black at 931.648.8482.<\/p>\n
