I inquired to MAS this morning as to Nova's status and was informed she has been moved to the adoption area and someone has expressed interest in her already.  This is great news since the shelter isn't even open yet and hasn't been since she was posted from the stray area on Sunday.  Thank you … Continue reading Nova Update

Per the Memphis pound, the dogs in the stray area aren't city property and therefore they are off limits to the public - both in person and online.  No one is allowed to photograph them and share their photos in an effort to save them.

Warning:  the … Continue reading How Much Sadder Can Sad Get?

I have to agree with the "Friends" and all the others who believe that no kill is never going to be possible in Memphis.  Seriously, people in Memphis just suck.  No point in opening up the stray areas to the public - the jerks would probably just run up and down the aisles tossing firecrackers … Continue reading Reverse Psychology

Reader db has been writing to Mayor AC Wharton regularly.  She received a response from the mayor today to a YesBiscuit post she had sent him: Thanks for your letter and for believing in Memphis . For the sake of accuracy, I have never said things are “swell” at the Shelter. I have never disparaged … Continue reading UPDATED – Memphis Mayor: No “Shelter Large Enough”
