You Have Got to be Kidding Me
I took the title of this post from the reader who sent in these screengrabs from MAS last night. The first two shots are 15 seconds apart and appear to show an ACO trying to get a dog on a chokepole into a bottom kennel. The third shot is 30 seconds after the second one. … Continue reading You Have Got to be Kidding Me
Shelter Pets of the Day
Submitted by Donna from Hearts of Gold Pit Rescue, both these dogs are reportedly vetted, neutered and in need of rescue from MAS today as they are coughing/sneezing. If I was in Memphis, I would seriously, for reals, run - not walk - down to the shelter and grab up that little Beagley type dog … Continue reading Shelter Pets of the Day
Mayor Wharton Sort of Weighs in on MAS Concerns
I have written to Memphis city leaders expressing my general concerns over the abuse and needless killing at the shelter. I have written separately to advise of the abuse of a cat in labor at MAS, to question if dogs and cats are made to watch other pets being killed, and to inquire where dogs … Continue reading Mayor Wharton Sort of Weighs in on MAS Concerns

We want city leaders to make Memphis a no kill community. Note: Because there is a song attached (which Sony would like you to buy), Sony does not allow the video to be … Continue reading The Scars of Your Love
Cat Got Your Tongue, Michael Vick?
When HSUS got in bed with Michael Vick to promote their "End Dogfighting" campaign, many of us were skeptical. Nothing to date has changed my skepticism in that regard. You may have heard about a new app for the Android market called "Dog Wars". Basically, you can play dogfighter on your phone. Yay. There has … Continue reading Cat Got Your Tongue, Michael Vick?
Shelter Pet of the Day
From the Facebook posting for this dog: My name is STAR. My Animal ID # is A893267. I am a female white and brown pit bull mix. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years old. I came in the shelter as a OWNER SUR on 04/09/2011 from NY 10468, owner surrender reason stated was … Continue reading Shelter Pet of the Day
