If I run a shelter and I tell you that I adopted out 10 pets last month but 12 pets this month - would you be like, "Hurray! Shelter adoptions have increased 20% in one month!"? No, of course you wouldn't. Because you don't know how many pets I took in last month or this … Continue reading Comparing MAS Stats from 2010 to 2011

No. No, seriously.
Alright MAS, you can quit lowering the bar now. I think you've got it pretty well in the dirt. As far as I know, neither the mama dog nor any of her pups were ever listed online for adoption. They were never housed in the area accessible by the public. Besides webcam watchers and the … Continue reading No. No, seriously.
UPDATED: Hard to Look at…
...but please look. Then, take action. Because this dog has no voice except yours. Update: Some of us were concerned that the large dog in the small cage hadn't been taken care of since the dragging incident yesterday. E-mails were sent to shelter director Matthew Pepper to that effect. I wondered myself if the dog … Continue reading UPDATED: Hard to Look at…

She is very scared and does not do well on a leash. Hilley has never shown any signs of aggression. She is as gentle as … Continue reading Shelter Pet of the Day
Repelled. Repulsed. Nauseated.
I am too disgusted by the seemingly endless killing and inhumane treatment of pets at Memphis Animal Services to put more webcam shots on the front of the blog today. I just don't have the stomach to see it every time I click on the blog. So I'm posting today's group of shots on a … Continue reading Repelled. Repulsed. Nauseated.
MAS: You are in a Hole. Quit Digging.
Memphis Animal Services hasn't reached out to rescuers regarding dogs on the kill list in the past. Now they are, which is great. Except they seem intent on burning out their local rescues faster than rescuers can reach for their TUMS. Yesterday MAS sent out an e-mail plea for 7 coughing dogs on the kill … Continue reading MAS: You are in a Hole. Quit Digging.
