MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Animal Services needs new puppy parents now.
In honor of National Puppy Day, March 23, 2023, MAS is offering puppies under five-months-old for just $5.
MAS said they have more than 100 puppies in their care and are in desperate need to find them fur-ever homes. They are also hoping to find fosters for the influx of animals.
MAS leaders said the shelter is no place for puppies because their little immune systems are still weak.
"Our goal is to get those puppies back out of here as quickly as we can for their own health and safety,” said Alexis Pugh, Director of Memphis Animal Services. “We're calling on the community. We're hoping the incentive of just a $5 adoption fee for five days will get a ton of people in our door to try to get those puppies under five-months-old back out of our building and into a home."
The $5 puppy adoptions will be available through end of day on Monday, March 27.
