Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby

HSMSC offers an opportunity for a second chance at life to injured and abused animals. Learn more at www.memphishumane.org.

Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate injured and abused companion animals in Memphis and Shelby County, fight animal cruelty and educate the public to become better pet owners. We do not euthanize due to time or lack of space. Because of our mission, we are only able to take cats and/or dogs that are injured or abused; we unfortunately cannot take stray animals.
