As rescue networkers are wont to do (and I'm glad of it!), the following e-mail has been making the rounds this afternoon and is purported to be from MAS. Of course I can't personally verify it as it was simply forwarded to me (and many others) but it does look very similar to the MAS … Continue reading Circular Problems and Solutions

Mr. Kissyface is on his last day of mandatory stray hold. To my knowledge, no owner has come forward to redeem him.  If anyone is interested in adopting or fostering him, please contact the shelter today and ask to place a DO NOT KILL hold on dog ID #227773 in cage 544. I will be … Continue reading Can Anyone Foster Mr. Kissy?

Memphis, please - stop the killing.

Very soon, Memphis Animal Services will be moving into its new building.  They have recently stacked the advisory board with people who appear to me to be killing apologists.  Then that advisory board canceled its first public meeting.  These three events may be unrelated, I don't know.  But in the interest of transparency, I am … Continue reading New Letter Writing Campaign for MAS

While I'm waiting to hear back from MAS on the puddinheads (I think there are at least 2 dogs in that run), I found yet another dog in the stray area I like.  I see a tongue there - maybe this dog is wanting someone to kiss! Added: I got a bunch more screengrabs of … Continue reading Another Waggy Dog in the Super Sekrit Stray Area at MAS

Some of you might recall that MAS was a no show at last month's MAS Advisory Board meeting.  Since then, there have been some changes to the board: Current Members of Memphis Animal Services (MAS) Advisory Board are: Jeanne Chancellor Jen Clay John R.
