MEMPHIS LISTS
Have been told that the 2-for-1 adoptions for cats/kittens has been stopped.
But, not
sure if that is the case. If you go to adopt cats/kittens, ASK FIRST whether
or not
they are still doing the 2-for-1 fee adoptions.

The Memphis Animal Shelter is located at 3456 Tchulahoma Rd. in Memphis, TN,
Phone #
901-362-5310. Normal hours are Tues - Fri 10 to 5 and Mon and Sat 10 to 3.
Adoptions
till 4:45 and 2:45 respectively. Adoption fee is $50. Fee for dogs includes
heartworm
test, spay/neuter, and rabies, parvo, and distemper vaccinations. Fee for
cats is $45
-- I think that includes feline lukemia test, spay/neuter and vaccinations.
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT ADOPTIONS -- the shelter takes ONLY cash or check for
adoption
fees -- NO CREDIT CARDS. Also, adoptions can only be completed IN PERSON --
no
adoptions can be handled by phone. No dogs or cats are "held" for anyone. All
adoptions are strictly "first come, first served".
For EVERY adopted dog or cat -- NO spay/neuter surgery is performed until
the adoption
of the animal has been COMPLETED (paid for). Then (unless the animal is
already
altered, which is usually NOT the case), and only then, is the animal
scheduled for
surgery and can be picked up (leave the shelter) AFTER the surgery has been
completed.
This usually takes 2-3 days.
HOLDING period for STRAYS is ONLY 3 WORKING DAYS. The 'due out' date is the
date that
the dog can be adopted (end of holding period).
Stray adoptions - all strays are held THROUGH their due out date. A stray
can be
adopted ON its due out date (NOT before). But, if not adopted on that date,
it will be
PTS the next morning.
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT THE "DUE OUT" POLICY FOR DOGS WITH KNOWN OWNERS.
1) The shelter can decide to have a 'known owner' dog PTS ON or BEFORE the
due out date.
2) If anyone sees a dog posted that has a "known owner" and they are
interested in
adopting that dog, they need to call or go to the shelter BEFORE the due out
date. Ask
for or go to the adoption window - have the cage # and the ID # - ask the
person in
the adoption window for the owner status of that dog.
3) If you think you are AT ALL interested in adopting a 'known owner' dog,
you need to
check the paperwok for the status of owner contact - sometimes when the
owner HAS been
contacted, they will hold the dog a few extra days to allow the owner some
time to
reclaim if they have expressed intent to do so. Thus, if you want to adopt a
'known
owner' dog, you may have to 'keep tabs' on the dog EVERY DAY, because the
staff can
decide AT ANY TIME to destroy the dog - NO WARNING!!
For most (not all) stray puppies and SOME adult SMALL dogs that would fit in
puppy
adoption (such as chihuahuas, terriers) -- unless a puppy or small dog is
sick or
there is otherwise something seriously wrong with it, the pup or small dog
will be
moved to adoption if not adopted at the end of the holding period.
SOME adult dogs can get moved to adoption, but the adoption area is much
smaller than
holding - 1/4 number of cages. Most adult dogs will not make it to adoption
from holding.
Also, dogs in adoption are NOT kept indefinitely -- if not adopted in
approximately
two weeks (or LESS!), they are put down
