Holding PawsThousands of animals are left abused and neglected locally each year. We couldn’t be more thankful to the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County for opening their doors in 1993, and for their continuous efforts to save these remarkable creatures.

Their staff works tirelessly to provide for these animals, and it’s all part of the Humane Society’s mission. This mission revolves around the fundamentals of saving the lives of animals that have been injured, abused, and neglected, enriching the human experience through animal companionship, and preventing animal cruelty.

These goals are met by providing the over 100 cats and dogs in their care with emotional support, socialization, nutritious food, veterinary care, and safe recovery spaces.
