Though there has been some question to whether there is a stray animal problem in the University District, there are, no doubt, people in and around the area who are interested in getting strays off the streets. Hollywood Feed and the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County hosted an Adoptathon in April, an event in which people around the city adopt pets at cheap prices or just come to volunteer their time. Samantha Irwin, territory manager of Hollywood Feed’s Broad Avenue location, said that the partnership with the Humane Society has helped achieve the goal of getting stray animals out of the streets and into good homes. |
