MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA), who holds awards for those who are in the animal care and control field, have named a Memphian as their "Animal Control Officer of the Year."
Memphis Animal Shelter (MAS) officer Lawrence Higginbottom holds the award, one of seven awards announced total by NACA in 2022.
Jerrica Owen is the NACA Executive Director.
“Officer Lawrence Higginbottom is a shining example of what an Animal Services Officer should be in a progressive animal services agency,” Owen said. “NACA is proud to recognize an officer who so enthusiastically embraces the lifesaving elements of community-supported sheltering, like reuniting pets with their families in the field whenever possible.”
MAS also is always looking for foster parents, and donations for foster supplies. See available pets online here and learn more at https://www.memphistn.gov/animal-services/i-want-to-donate/.
