  • God threw Humans out of Paradise .. not the animals

  • My heart is breaking for all these dogs. I just want to save them all and sadly it's not possible. There is a real problem in Memphis with people breeding pit bulls for money. I only say this because I noticed there were a lot of bully breeds in the video. The city should put a stop to it, but unfortunately they'd rather sit back and euthanize the animals rather than addressing the real problem: breeding for money and not spaying or neutering pets.

  • Do you realize that 77% of the dogs you just saw are now probably dead?

    Please urge change at MAS! Contact the major,call Memphis Mayor AC Wharton at (901) 576-6000 and let them know that Adoption Programs need to be priority!! Not Killing!

  • “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” -Mahatma Gandhi

  • If i walk into a shelter and see this I would scream my heart out so loud that GOD would apear to me and ask what was going on ! Too painful to see this. NOT ACEPTABLE ! This is why i crosspost animals in FB everyday for years, hoping I could help some.

  • this should never be done to an innocent anamal lets try to make a change what have they done to deserve this if someones mad DONT take it out on your dog or cat or any pet. they dont know what they did wrong. pretend that you were the anamal getting abused. how would you fell to get beaten for somthing that wasnt your fault how would you feel? thumbs up if you agree with what i just said. take that stand!!!

  • ohh damm people are selfish bitches, how come children in care homes don't live in cages huh? animals are just as precious as us humans because they have a heart and a soul and a body, brain... only because they are not as clever as we are doesn't mean tat we can put them in cages, they don't deserve this. we have to stop animal cruelty and this kind of animal shelter, they should be called animal home, like children home, just imagine if children's home was called shelter...let's make a change!

  • there are beagles in there. i have a beagle.

  • Comment removed

  • @tcelenacuatemocatl

    doesnt matter if they are beagle or not and if you have one or not, they all have a pumping heart who feel the same. don't fall into the crap about race to give one more value than the other one, that is just for idiots, be smarter than that. They all have pumping hearts and feel just like you and I , never forget that.

  • @scorpion20112 i know that -_-

  • @scorpion20112 i know that -_- i was just saying I have a beagle. and its weird seeing expensive breeds in shelters because you would think that people would not throw away something they paid a lot of money for especially if it has a beating heart. that's just stupid and careless. they could have given it to someone who would appreciate having a pet instead of throwing it in a shelter and that goes for all dogs.

  • @tcelenacuatemocatl

    I agree but the problem start when people put a price on a beating heart.

  • @scorpion20112 i agree. that is one thing i don't understand, putting a price on a beating heart. would you want a price tag on you? no. they are not toys. some people just don't know how to treat animals. you treat animals(pets) the same as you would your child. when you think about it, there are people out there who treat their own children like crap. so, i guess i can see how we got to this. it's just aweful that we can't save them all. they don't deserve this crap. and we need better laws.

  • Breaks my heart. Seeing how sad they look, and even more the ones who run up to the front when they see a person, hoping they will rescue them, they can sense the death, they know what they face is they dont get out...please adopt, dont buy, and spay and neuter your pets, dont get an animal if you cannot keep them their whole life or have a plan in place in case of an emergency (death, serious illness etc) for what will happen to them, so that they dont end up in a place like this.

  • I can't wait until a shelter that DOESN'T put down animals is built...

  • It's strange not to see any of them barking.

  • @AshleysPetProject its a kill center sadly i looked it up at there wedsite

  • wow mostly bully breeds

  • Please adopt one of this beautifull criatures...!

  • This is so sad. I would give anything to make every animal in this world have a better life. when i watch things like this it brakes my heart. Animals are not just animals, they have feelings and they can feel pain. and anyone who hurts or abuses animals are just because they are babys and cant pick on someone there own size.

  • set them on fire, population problem solved and so is my boredom problem

  • why doesnt every one under stand the fact animals are living they feel

  • 3 dogs in a small dog cage for barely 1 dog?! get some more pens!!! but nice dogs! :)

  • is that how many all animal shealter has

  • awww too cute i went to the animal shelter  today and the cats were all meowing and pering they were so cute so were the dogs thx for making this video

  • @kittycat23ful

    did you seriously call this video CUTE??? this aint cute...this is tragic, and awful, and sad...

  • There animals not deserve this...... they deserve to be in a wonderful home, with a loving family <3

  • So sad

  • this is really upsetting.

  • Poor dogies

  • Nice, fence the floor. This is why most dogs don't survive mills or pounds like this. No good requirements are filled. No exercise, no good flooring, and sometimes, no nutritional food. Just Fuck Them

  • all these dogs really need some love in there lives i adopt not buy

  • i adopted my dog from a shelter cus i wanted to save a life =)

  • =,( so so so so so so sad,they feel like they r in prison

  • dam

  • aww look at their faces they saying like" please take me home please take me home "

  • poor dogs :'(

  • Wats neuter?

  • @FpReaper umm well its another work for steralisation

  • @FpReaper soz i ment word yeh i think its the american as here we say either steralisation as a whole or we say spay/ed for female and castrated for male

  • I hope people see this to learn that shelters don't just have two or three old beaten-up dogs... they have so many and a huge variety. Shopping for one is pointless!

  • Comment removed

  • :((( i wish i could get one

  • Look at them...look at their faces...look and their eyes...and know that nearly 8 out of 10 of them were killed. SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS and do not PURCHASE a pet - ADOPT. Every time someone supports breeding in any way, they are causing an animal to die. Put breeders out of business, they aren't handbags, they are living, breathing beings.

  • I am sure most of these dogs, if not all, were murdered by Mayor Wharton too. He is the one murdering them because he is the one with the power to change the shelter to a No Kill instead of constantly supporting his idiot friend Matthew Pepper (who touts No Kill sayings like Satan reads Bible scripture).

  • We need to replace Mayor Wharton with someone who has a heart and a mind. He has neither. If he did he would support No Kill.

  • That is a lot of dogs, I feel so bad for all of them. I volenter at my local shelter to help them find loving homes for themselves and i get awful attached to them and get sad when the leave. We only have 5 dog kennels though and only two dogs and 8 cats at the moment! YAY!

  • Your All Stupid! Killing Animals? Animals Are Like Us Humans! They Have Feelings! They Have A Heart! They Have Everything Us Humans Have! Why Dont You Treat Them The Way You Like To Be Treated? Do You Like It To Be Unfeeded? Unhappy? Unprotected? I Guess You Do! >> You Guys Have No Fellings At All! I Would Kill You Guys Right Now! Would You Like That? And Pulling Animals From There Leach Tightly That Is A Case Of Killing I Will Do Something To Help The Animal Shelter God Bless The Shelter & Us

  • that breaks my heart so bad

  • if i were a millionaire i would buy all those puppies familys to live and be happy with plus id take 5 home with me :)

  • I wanna give them a big hug. They don't deserve to be there all because of irresponsable people who aren't able to take care of them.Thats why you have to think before getting a dog. :(

  • From 0:46 to 0:49...Is there DOG Shit in that cafe? 8I..........It's called cleaning.

  • @DisturbedDesre the little ******* that dont clean the caGes (sorry for the correction) animals need luv 2!

  • Email Wharton. He just said he has other things to worry about.

  • @kimmersTN Fuck Wharton

  • This is too sad. Can't finish watching it.

  • do these dogs have to sleep on a trampoline? lol

  • i hate walking out of animal shelters because i know half the dogs i just saw will not live to see next week.... :'(

  • man, i swear if i worked there i would constantly play with them and fix their cages, its not that hard to love something

  • wen i get older, i wanna get a humoungous house with a GINORMOUS backyard, paint a sign that says, " dogs and puppies! save a life today!", buy all dogs at the shelter, and put them in my yard to love and care for them =) THAT is wat i wanna do with ma life

  • @scouthouseluv me too!! it is so hard for me to go to the animal shelter because every time, i just want to take all of them with me.

  • @Mamboleo1995 there is this one dog that i completly ADORE!

    (1) in google type in city of corona animal shelter

    (2) click on the one about 2 or three choices down (wich ever one is petfinder)

    (3) click on pet list

    (4) look for kennel # 15! i LOVE her so much and she really likes me too. i hope she finds a good happy home :)

  • @scouthouseluv omg!! she is sooo cute haha i LOVE her ears! i hope she finds a good home!! :D

    that is really cool that your shelter shows what animals are there. none of the ones I have volunteered at do that, and i bet it would really help get more dogs adopted!!

  • @Mamboleo1995 i love her too! i met her at petco and she kept leaning on me and didnt get up wen she lay down with me! <3 and once, there was this really old basset hound he was ADORABLE! and wenever i got up and walked away, he would just start barkin and howling. I FELT SO BAD!

  • @scouthouseluv awww...yes they are definitly smarter than most people thing...he was probably howling and barking saying "heyy dont you know what happens if you leave me here??" leaving a dog at the shelter that you know wont be adopted is the hardest thing ever. i bet those ones at Petco got adopted though. :) I love the in-store adoption centers. the dogs need more public attention like that

  • @Mamboleo1995 i know. shelters are just cruel jokes that break ppl and dogs hearts. i hope there is at least ONE kill-free shelter out there :(. I dont think its fair that most pet stores dont carry dogs and puppies.

    NOT ..... FAIR. its only like once or twice a week they do that wich SUCKS.

  • @scouthouseluv yeah it does suck but lots of big pet stores like petsmart and petco are working to put adoption centers in their facilities.

    I used to volunteer at a shelter where i used to live and while i was there they built an adoption center inside petsmart and once a week they would send new dogs over to the adoption center it was a good way for people to get to see the dogs and made the shelter less crowdeddd :)

  • @Mamboleo1995 lucky! thats wat i wanna do. and about that dog i was talking about, everytime my mom looks at her, i keep saying, you know, my birthday is in 9 days.

  • @scouthouseluv awwww! that would be the coolest thing ever if you got her for your b-day. :)

  • @Mamboleo1995 rite!? and its coming up! AHHH!

  • i wonder why people would buy pets when they dont have time for them and next thing you know people leave them on the streets

    if you love pets you should watch the movie hotel for dogs

    when the animals have babies you should at least sell them or keep them not just leave them at the streets

  • i wonder why people would buy pets when they dont have time for them and next thing you know people leave them on the streets

    if you love pets you should watch the movie hotel for dogs

  • Seeing their sad faces breaks my heart...

  • Man that's a lot of animals.

  • Okay I keep watching this video over and over again. I really want that dog. The one at 1:33

    That little thing just...awwwww...

  • put 'em all down...

    they are only dirty animals.... yuch!

  • That raggedy small brown furry puppy just broke my heart. I would love to take a dog like that.

  • oh my, i would LOVE to take the two pit bulls with the cropped ears!! they are at the time of around 1:57 but i gareentee they are at a loveing home or euthenized or still their..... anyway i dont live any were near that place so no chance of me getting them. as you see i love bully breeds (litsandpits) god bless them dogs <3 some are matted and are very sad

  • Btw, did any of the shelter ppl get pissed that u were walking around with a camera?? haha, jw.

  • I wanna take them all home to live with me!

  • :"(

  • ONE DAY I AM GOING TO BUY A HOUSE WITH 7 ANCRES OF LAND AND TURN IT TO A KILL-FREE SHELTER. A LAND WHERE EVERY DOG IS FREE TO RUN AND NO KENNELS

  • I'm going to volunteer at the local animal shelter tomorrow. This video gave me even more of an incentive to do it. Even if they can't find a home, I just want to spend time with them and keep them company so they don't feel so alone and depressed.

  • I WILL ADOPT THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • THEY ALL KNOW THERE GOING TO DIE ! D: YOU CAN SEE IT IN THEIR EYES!

  • i cry :(

    to bad ppl cant take care of animals :( its so sad...

  • This is sooo sad

  • ca me plait pas c'est comme une prison

  • There is was so many dogs I would love to adopt but I live in an apartment which does not allow dogs. Or else I would adopt one or buy one.

  • i want to adopt that pit bull so sad :(

    

  • if i have the money i want all...adopt one people!!...they will make yoy happier than your girlfriend

  • Awwwwww I wuz cring i wuld adopt all of them any chance I wuld get

  • i want them all!!!!!!!!!

  • ohh... i want to adopt one.... i feel so bad!

  • Poor dogs. They look so depressed. This is how we huamsn repay man's best friend?

  • I've never seen dog so listless, lying on the floor, or desperate to get out of there. Please, people, do what this video encourages you to do and what you feel when you watch this and go get a dog at an animal shelter instead of buying one at a pet store!

  • In the first 40 seconds I saw at least 10 dogs that i would most definetly adopt!

  • its just so sad to see that all of them would be so sad,just look at 00:10,if i could, I would adopt them all just to make them happy, brings a tear to my eyes :'(

  • i just went to a shelter and i took out this little york and he was so happy and thought i was going to take him but i could not afford him. it made me so sad inside when i saw him have to be but back in his small kennel. i want to go back so bad and get him...

  • can I use this video to make an animal adoption video I am making?

  • @ilovecub1

    ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU!

  • I wouldn't be able to go into any shelter without walking out with a new family addition. It's heart breaking that people can put their pets in shelters, or that any of them are in there at all. I'm writing a paper on animal shelters for my senior project right now, and my paper went from optimistic to as pessimistic as it gets. How can anyone write a positive paper about things like this?

  • I'm going to cry. I'm like, a hug animal lover. If I see an animal I can resist the cuteness lol.. But when we go into animal shelters to get a new pet, Omg I cry, they all look at you with those baby eyes.. reach out to be pet.. if they don't find an owner, they get put down.. Thats why I hate the animal shelter. It's a good place to keep the pets until they find a home, but if they haven't gotten one just yet ..thats no reason to put them down. Were lucky these animals forgive us...

  • these guys are making me cry.

    they still forgive us even though we treat them badly.

    Thats horrible, its not fair.

    I love dogs... I'd adopt all of them if i had the money and space and time..

    They are all so sweet yet, suffering.

    They're so loyal... They'll save your life. WHY DOES IT F****** HAVE TO BE ANIMALS!!!???? WHY NOT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ABUSE ANIMALS GET LOCKED UP IN A CAGE AND GET PUT DOWN WITHOUT A CHANCE?

    kill shelters must be destroyed. God bless the animals....

  • We adopted our dog. When they brought him into the animal shelter they said they found him walking the streets of Inverness. When we adopted him his ribs were showing, he had bloodshot eyes and he was boney all over. The lady that looks after all the dogs in the adoption kennel just does it from the kindness of her heart, she doesn't get paid for it either.

  • Awwwww so many dogs. I'm glad in my state they have the stray spay/neuter law. n.n I hope those dogs find good home.

  • This shelter looks decent compared to the one i live near. I video taped some of the dogs and will put them up soon. Its not the shelter's faults. Not enough people volunteer or even donate to some shelters. I walked a Pit yesterday and it jumped on me and bit my arm, trying to play. I had to grab his neck and pin him on the floor and it made me cry because it shows how stressed he was. He will probably never find a home unless its with a dog fighter. i plan to visit him again, no hard feelings.

  • awwe, this is so sad! =( This clip touched me. Sad to see dogs are put in animal stores for so much money. When people dont think about the shelters where u can save a helpless living creature. Sad that half of these dogs will be put to sleep..Adopt an animal today, SAVE A LIFE!!

  • this is like these poor dogs are in "jail" for not even doing anything. Their breeders should be in there. i went to an animal shelter too, and the dogs there were SOOO aggresssive.

  • These poor animals, heres to the hope they all find their forever homes in the end of it all!

  • i am definitely going to the pound when i get a dog

  • @0dour

    AWESOME

  • @0dour FABULOUS. Feel free to come to mine. Blount County Animal Center. Call 865-980-6244

  • I actually think it looks like a pretty decent shelter. I've seen worse for sure...

  • @EA1088

    IT'S GOTTEN WORSE, AND HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS CONSTANTLY FOR YEARS OVER SOME BIG ATTROCITIES. i hate to think you've seen worse, but don't doubt it unfortunately.

  • @EA1088 If that's true, why wasn't that matted dog taken care of ASAP?

  • @EA1088 If you think this looks good, You would think my shelter is a carribean paradise for dogs.

  • Awww:( too bad animal shelters couldn't be like a doggy day care! They would have lots of toys,a pool, etc. Shelter dogs look depressed in the cages:( shelters should change.

  • this video made me shed tear :(:(

  • poor things : (

  • por things : (

  • oh my gosh.

    this is by far the most awful thing i have seen.

    poor guys.

    they have no voice yet we should still listen

  • i saw atleast 20 pitbulls that fucked up all the animales disrve a home.!

  • it looks like they are all saying, "please, take me with you..."

  • @CrazedSugarFanatic

    are they ever. your comment embodies the emotion so well. then most die.

  • poor souls...whish I could help every single one of them

  • THAT IS IT!!!!!IM TIRED OF AL THIS!!!!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHIM GONNA ADOPT A JACKRUSSELL TERRIER AND CHIHUAHUHA MIX AT THE SHELTER I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE ABUSING ANIMALS GET FROM HEARTLESS MOTHERFUCKIN SON OF A FUCKING BITCH THEY DONT DESERVE THIS THIS IS NO FUCKING JOKE EXCUSE MY FRENCH BUT AHHAHHHH

  • @danny132green154 YEAH! LETS KILL THE ABUSIVE BASTARDS THAT HURT THESE INNOCENT CREATURES!!!

  • If i could i rather them take my life to save just one of those animals..its not their fault, so why should they suffer?

  • @Juggalette4Lifeee

    you have a huge heart and you're right. the world is not fair, but your life is VERY valuable. don't ever take that for granted.

  • @webkinz7709 I know this is so terrible, it hurts. My parents dont like the idea of having a dog, and we have a HUGE house! I dont understand. I try to explain to them they would be saving a LIFE but they just dont want to hear it. I'm going to be a senior in highschool and when I move into an apartment for my sophomore/junior year in college i am FOR SURE adopting a dog

  • this is so sad and a terrible place!!!! :((

  • This is one of my favorite videos, because it shows exactly what it is like in most shelters around the world. Your video doesn't show bloody/starving or gorey scenes, just the truth and reality of what a shelter dog's life is like.

    It breaks my heart; it really, really breaks my heart.

  • It makes me wanna cry to look at these poor animals...

  • also i wanna say that these shelters are like jail cells for animals! it was the owners fault, but these poor animals have to pay the price of being locked up? not fair :(

  • i really wanted to get a puppy, i was gonna buy one, but now, i would love to adopt one, that way i get a dog, and the dog gets a permanent owner, plus a better life. :) it's really sad to see these animals in the cages.

  • DISGUSTING. IT hurts my feelings and heart seeing this. IDK WHAT TO SAY. ITS AN DISGRACE. These animals r miserable. GEEZ this all bc ppl dont get there animals fixed to not have babies, or people neglect their animals, or mama cat/dog leave there baby. :((((( This gets me so depressed watching this. PEOPLE SHOULD GO TO AN ANIMAL SHELTER TO ADOPT. We humans get the easy way but animals always have to get the hard way. And animals are the way friendlier then humans. This is every word i can say.

  • @Amy2Pretty I feel ya. reason why I love animals better. but my favorite humans are ones that love pets and I'm a sucker for animal chicks.

  • omg how i wish i could adopt all of them or at least go there and play with them

  • Omg all those adorable dogs put to waste . disgusting what people do .

  • And the sad thing is , is that half of the dogs at shelters were given up by their owners, and that half gets put to sleep.

    Retards .

  • I cry everytime I watch this I want everydog there before they get put the sleep I wish I was 18 so I could get all the dogs but right now I'm 11

  • this is fucking torture for those puppies. IN A CELL? are u really serious? Puppies aren't toys. Stop fucking using them for entertainment .

  • I want to adopt every one of them... :( I feel so bad!!

  • seeing that video really breaks my heart....I have LOVED and passion about animals and I still trying to figure out why a lot of people could neglect and not care for an animals..they are there to give us love all the time...and yes I am against with those breeders...I wish they could make a law,anyone that is proven mietreating animals should be treated to be lock up for a long years....

  • Those cages at 1:04 are like TINY. Like cat cages...

  • pomapunk, this place couldn't be further from what you describe... thanks for the comment.

  • OK! Well I know that a shelter isn't a "home" for the animal but it should feel like it. I personally feel like it wasnt home for these animals. I feel like the cages could have been nicer, cleaner, and more warm and inviting.

  • FYI.....Please save March 16 on your calendar for this very important meeting. It is on March 16 2010 (and not March 9).

    Councilman Shea Flinn will hold a public meeting in the Memphis City Council Chambers on Tuesday, March 16th at 4:00 p.m. at 125 N. Main Street, Lobby Level, Memphis, TN 38103 to discuss the mandatory spay / neuter laws and alternatives. The meeting audio will also be streamed live and archived via the Memphis City Council website.

  • As a former volunteer at this Shelter, I have to say a couple of things. The conditions for the dogs have visually improved drastically with the change in management. Second, if you think that you aren't needed to help with fostering/adopting/paying for spay/neuter for a dog, just watch this video again. Thanks rotomemphis for a poignant protrayal of one of Memphis' biggest problems...pet overpopulation.

  • you are absolutely right on point with every word. thank you for your comment!

  • @amyd3731 pet overpopulation is a very big problem and I'm writing my final paper in composition on it. It's a problem solution paper and I was hoping you or anyone else can give me some more ideas for my solution to this problem. So far i have spaying and neutering and regulations on breeding. If you or anyone else has any ideas please reply to this. I'm pretty set at the problem but if you have something you think i might have overlooked your help is always welcome.

  • This video should prove to people how important spay/neuter really is in order to stop the overpopulation. So many animals to adopt out and so few homes for them. People - Stop buying from pet shops, puppy mills, and backyard breeders. We, the people, are responsible for the need to euthanize so many.

    A pet is for life!

    It should not be disposable!

    Please spay/neuter your pets.

    Opt to adopt and save lives.

  • again, you are also exactly on point. thank you for your comment.

  • hate to say this, but you shoud do one with just the poor catsl as i sit here crying, peopl need to see that, the cats are there as well... thanks for your time

  • thank you for your comment, i did think about that and included it in my notes when i emailed this link to my friends. i forgot to mention it in the description, so i added it now. thank you again.

  • whats worse places like china breed tigers for tiger bone wine now. Or shark fin soup in japan, slicing off the fins of sharks and dumping the bodies over board. When will this ugly shit ever stop! Cant believe we cant get a handel on our unwanted pets, and the world is still killing wild animals too. i pray for them all, my god forgive those who kill needlessly

  • i'll never understand how humans can do such things and have no conscience. thank you for your comment.

  • The shelters in calif are full as well, so sad. You cant belive how many cats and dogs die every MONTH!! Just think every state, in the U.S. has places just like these!! So if you did the math, it just to heart breaking...

  • estimates are that 6-8 million dogs and cats die in shelters every year simply because they are homeless. many other states don't have very bad overpopulation problems, and responsible ownership and in some instances legislation is to thank for that.

  • thank you for watching. like i said, i accidentally skipped 2 whole isles of dogs in that section, and another whole hallway with a long row full of dogs on each side.

    i also missed the puppies and cats.

    so i probably missed about 150 animals.

  • This really made me realize how many dogs shelters really do have. If only there was a person to adopt each and every one of them. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
