“They’re not taking a lot of tail-wagging dogs back to euthanasia.” – quote from a “Friends of MAS” volunteer.
When your shelter is killing thousands of pets a year – 77% of everything that comes through the door – you might want to watch making blanket statements intimating only the sick/sad/bad dogs are killed. It obviously ain’t so. And there’s no way it ever could be. Because most dogs – including those in a shelter – are healthy or have treatable conditions; they’re happy – even if some of them don’t show it inside the scary shelter environment; and they are good.
Don’t all good dogs deserve a chance to live? I believe that. I don’t understand why Memphis Animal Services keeps killing and killing without even giving many of these pets a chance.
Memphis, please – stop the killing.
