You may remember on August 26 when some "people" at MAS thought it was very ha to put a stuffed monkey in front of one of the webcams.  In fact, they couldn't stop laughing, as evidenced in this FB posting: Besides patting themselves on the back for their amazingly clever display of shamelessness, what else … Continue reading Fifty-Three

Does anyone believe the abuse and killing is going to stop once the MAS webcams are off? There is no logical reason to make such an assumption. In fact, it would be logical to assume the abuse and killing might worsen once the webcams are gone. The employees complained because they don't like getting caught … Continue reading Why the Memphis Pound Wants to Kill the Webcams

Webcam watchers followed this poor puppy who was loose last night.  Although attempts were made to advise MAS about the loose pup and staff were observed in the pound, the puppy was not captured until this morning.  He spent most of the night in the Isolation area. A reader has offered to pay his adoption/pull … Continue reading Loose Pup at MAS

There are hundreds of beautiful dogs in the stray area at MAS.  They want to live.  Memphis, please - stop the killing.

I know that MAS isn't going to go no kill tomorrow. I'm a reality based person. But I sincerely wish they would at … Continue reading Snapshots from MAS

The Memphis Flyer has put together a great cover story on the problems plaguing the Memphis pound.  It's worth your time to read the entire piece.  Rather than accepting the excuses that no kill naysayers have been offering for years, the journalist challenges the status quo by speaking to pet advocates who know that no … Continue reading MAS Featured in Memphis Flyer

Since MAS can apparently identify dogs based off webcam shots now (or always, as the case may/not be), I hope they will tell us about this little dog. I received a number of screengrabs of him yesterday and he appears to be an owner surrender.  He looks like such a good little dog and doesn't … Continue reading How about this dog?

This was posted on Facebook by the "Friends" of MAS yesterday. If you read through the comments, you'll see how this misinformation caused at least one Memphis pet owner to miss out on getting a spay-neuter voucher. I thought this rather sucked.  Not only because Ms. McConnell spent her time and gas money driving to … Continue reading Updated: I think we can do better
