Wilson Co DART will be at Tractor Supply in Lebanon TN, on November 17, 2018 with SANTA from 9:30 till 12 noon……Come on out and bring the family and furry family! Claudia Richardson, WCDART Photographer will be on site taking Christmas photos. You will be all set for the Holidays with your festive photos and helping support the WC DART Team, we are asking for a $5 Donation.

The Country Music Cluster, one of the largest AKC Events in the state of TN., runs Thursday March 8 – Sunday March 11, 2018 at the Williamson Co Expo Center. WC DART will be onsite Saturday and Sunday from 10-3 pm, along with the DART/ AKC Reunite Trailer parked at the entryway, so all who enter can admire WC DART’s outstanding Grant from our Local AKC Groups!

C’mon out and enjoy the show, say Hello to the Team…It’s a lot of fun and it is a great way to say Thank You to the AKC for the Trailer Grant!

The DART AKC Reunite Trailer holds enough equipment to accommodate 100 Companion animals, in a disaster situation! Residents in TN and Wilson Co. can sleep soundly knowing our animals will be well taken care of,in the event of a disaster situation !

Joey Cooper, WEMA Director prvides the WCDART Team with 2way Radios! Captain Daniel Cowan programmed and gave an inservice on the Radios. The Team appreciates these Radios so much! Often disaster sites do not have cell service, making communication out in the field difficult. Now the Team can communicate more efficiently coordinating disaster response efforts. Thank you Director Cooper and Captain Cowan! They will be used at every training, deployment and events!
