Memphis Animal Services is the only open-intake animal shelter in Shelby County, taking in more than 8,000 animals every year. From dogs and cats to pigs, goats, horses, and chickens, we serve as a vital safety net for all animals as well as the people who love them. We’re not just a shelter; we’re a resource hub for pet owners, a center for community engagement, and a place where second chances begin. Through adoptions, fostering, education, and pet retention support, we work to keep pets in homes, help families stay together, and build a more humane Memphis.
