156 pets have new home after 'Mega Adoptathon'

The Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County hosted its 36-Hour Mega Adoptathon this weekend.

The final number of adoptions for the adoptathon presented by Hollywood Feed was 156. That includes HSMSC animals and animals from the participating rescue groups and shelters.

Over the next couple weeks, the HSMSC expects another 15 to 20 animals to have homes result from the adoptathon.

For various reasons, people may not have been able to finalize Saturday, such as landlord permission, having the current dog meet the adoptive dog, and checking vet records.

Every animal adopted from the Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County is spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on its vaccinations.
