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
Nothing New Here
On May 22, 2012 at MAS, no dog in this room was walked, fed, watered or had his cage cleaned between 2pm and 7pm. The footage begins and ends with ripped up newspapers and a slip lead on the floor - nobody can be bothered to pick them up. Cage cards appear scattered throughout the … Continue reading Nothing New Here
Kansas City, MO Does July 4th Right
The open admission shelter run by KC Pet Project in MO opened their doors to the public on the 4th of July figuring most people had the day off and were available to visit the shelter. They ran a $25 adoption fee special and adopted out 77 pets that day. I love to see common … Continue reading Kansas City, MO Does July 4th Right

Another Room, More Neglect at MAS
This clip shows a room of puppies and/or small breed adult dogs in stainless steel cages (hard to tell for certain due to the camera angle). Unlike the large dog kennels, the stainless steel cages do not have the auto waterers as far as I know so water must be provided by staff. If you … Continue reading Another Room, More Neglect at MAS
Another Room of Dogs Neglected at MAS
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

Shelter Pet Advocates are the Protesters of Violence, Not the Offenders
Details are sketchy but it sounds as if a family may have surrendered a dog to the Surry Co pound in NC, found out the staff killed the dog, and expressed their outrage during a heated phone call to the pound. A 15 year old boy got on the line at some point and threatened … Continue reading Shelter Pet Advocates are the Protesters of Violence, Not the Offenders
