April 10, 2012: This room at MAS is off limits to the public. It was full of dogs in the morning but about half were taken away (probably to play in a meadow of daisies). Their empty cages were cleaned in the afternoon and the remaining dogs were moved into those wet cages. Then the … Continue reading Feeding at Memphis Pound

In a recent speech to the rotary club, Memphis Animal Services interim director James Rogers talked about his work to date at the pound: “We’re looking at 100 days. Look at what’s happened in 100 days. What do you think it will look like in another 100 days? We’re on a positive trend. And we … Continue reading MAS: What do you think it will look like in another 100 days?

I finished my last room of MAS footage from May 22 and... these dogs got food and water!  Unfortunately for the dog in the first clip, he lost out on his food and water because after the lady fed him, a man came and moved him to a different cage, leaving his bowls behind for … Continue reading Two More Clips from the Memphis Pound

Security camera footage from the Memphis pound shows this room of dogs neglected from 2pm to 7pm on May 22, 2012.  During the entire 5 hour period of footage, no dog in this room is walked, fed, or has his cage cleaned.  And it's apparently stinky in the room, as evidenced by the second inmate … Continue reading Another Room of Dogs Neglected at MAS

Another video from the batch of MAS footage, obtained via FOIA request, from May 22, 2012. The Memphis city pickup truck in this video is used for hauling away the bodies of the pets killed by the pound.  Here, someone drives the truck into the garage, does some washing (something large, perhaps a dead dog, … Continue reading Memphis City Truck Gets Filled with Bags
