After the firing of Memphis Animal Services Director Ty Coleman, Memphians in the local animal community have differing thoughts on what attributes the next director should have.
MAS Director Ty Coleman is out, city officials say, bringing an end to his tumultuous 14-month tenure as head of the city’s animal shelter.
Being the director of Memphis Animal Shelter isn’t easy in a poor city where animals are often inexpensive security systems, companions in unfenced yards or are owned by people who can’t afford spay/neutering or rabies shots.
A city press release noted that under Alexis Pugh’s leadership, the save rate at Memphis Animal Services has “consistently improved” and finished 2022 at 86%.
With no room for mass-scale adoptions, MAS is trying to keep pets with their owners, often going door-to-door to find them.
