Rescuers Watching MAS Webcams Have 39 Seconds to Save a Life

 

Two owners appear to be surrendering dogs at MAS in this shot. One of the dogs looks like an Akita.
Half an hour later, the Akita is put on a chokepole and taken away by a worker.
The Akita is walked straight to the kill room. Did the dog get a fair evaluation by a qualified individual? How many Akita rescues were called by the shelter? Might not a member of the public want to adopt an Akita? We'll never know.

Please join our letter writing campaign.

No matter where you live, you can make your concerns about the shelter known to the following individuals:

Mayor Wharton: ac.wharton@memphistn.gov
Janet Hooks, Director, Public Services and Neighborhoods: janet.hooks@memphistn.gov
Matthew Pepper, Director, Memphis Animal Services: matthew.pepper@memphistn.gov
Cindy Sanders, MAS Advisory Board sanders127@yahoo.com
Jackie Johns, MAS Advisory Board jjohns25@hotmail.com
Allen Iskiwitz, MAS Advisory Board allensribs@aol.com

A copy/paste collection of the e-mail addresses:

ac.wharton@memphistn.gov, janet.hooks@memphistn.gov, matthew.pepper@memphistn.gov, sanders127@yahoo.com, jjohns25@hotmail.com, allensribs@aol.com

Keep your letters succinct and respectful. Let the city leaders know that people from all over are condemning what is going on at MAS.  Remind them there is a viable alternative:  make Memphis a no kill community.  Include a link to this primer on no kill.

Please use your voice to speak for all the pets at MAS – living and dead, including this Akita who was never given a chance.  Share this info with the many caring pet owners you know so that they can write letters too.
