Heather Mathis talks with Country star Brad Paisley and his wife Kimberly Williams Paisley about 'The Store” and how they are helping families across Nashville. Country music star Brad Paisley and his wife, Kimberly, started 'The Store' here in Nashville 4 years ago.
They talked to us in an exclusive interview about why they opened their shop today, not only to shoppers but also to host a vet clinic that offered pet owners the chance to have their pet seen by veterinarians for free!

Their partnership is in conjunction with The Companion Project.
The Companion Project is an organization providing support to rescues, shelters, and welfare organizations nationwide dedicated to keeping animals happy, healthy, and out of harm’s way.
ABOUT THE COMPANION PROJECT:
OUR MISSION
The Companion Project, a new non-profit organization in the animal wellness space founded by local veterinarian Dr. Molly Brinkmann, is on a mission to offer veterinary services to people already receiving important help from organizations like The Store Nashville. TCP believes the human-animal bond is sacred and especially important for those experiencing hardships. By providing pet wellness services they hope to relieve some of the burden of veterinary care costs for the people they serve.
The Companion Project teamed up with The Store Nashville for their first official event and provided wellness services for nearly 100 dogs and cats in Nashville. These pets were examined by veterinarians, tested for heartworm, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and sent home with heartworm/flea/tick preventatives as well as pet treats, supplements, food, and other supplies.
The Companion Project has plans for future events both locally and in other states. Dr. Molly Brinkmann is the medical director of Beauchamp Animal Hospital and is a social media influencer who uses her platform to educate pet parents and provide humor about veterinary life and the personalities of cats and dogs.
