UPDATED: MAS Impounds Stray Mama Dog Without Pups
This mama dog was impounded by MAS yesterday. She appears to have a live litter on the ground somewhere, most likely in the area where she was picked up, which is unknown. That MAS would impound this dog without her pups is unfathomable to me. Where are the pups? This dog may have an owner … Continue reading UPDATED: MAS Impounds Stray Mama Dog Without Pups
Things That Make You Go “Hmm”

Catching Up on MAS Advisory Board Meetings
MAS has updated its website and added minutes from some recent meetings of the Adversary Board. I'll catch you up. From the October 2011 minutes of the Memphis Animal Shelter Adversary Board Secret Clubhouse Meeting: There are 48 internal cameras tied to the real time crime center which is always monitored. No they aren't. Don … Continue reading Catching Up on MAS Advisory Board Meetings
Open Thread
Post your animal related links, questions, stories, updates and miscellany here. Several people have sent me this photo of an empty shelter in FL after they took all their pets to the mall for an adoption event and came back empty-handed. Schweet.

Reader Anne wrote to the Seagoville shelter in TX to thank them for the hard work they do in saving lives.
