MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Those looking for a new furry friend in 2023 can look no further than Memphis Animal Services. For the month of January, the shelter on Appling City Cove is offering dog adoptions for $20.
These adoptions reportedly include spays and neutering, microchips, vaccines, collars and leashes as well as a customized I.D. tag for dogs.
MAS will be closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Jan. 16, but the shelter encourages those looking for a new animal companion to visit them seven days a week and/or check their updated list of available pets here.
Last month, the shelter celebrated it's "12 Hours of Christmas" event as they were experiencing a crisis-level overcapacity of animals with anywhere from 25 to 30 animals coming into their shelter daily.
MAS was awarded $10,000 from the nonprofit Best Friends to achieve positive outcomes for the pets in their care. This grant also funded the shelter’s Fall Foster Challenge, held in October 2021.
