By
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – Memphis Animal Services’ (MAS) director of nearly seven years, Alexis Pugh, is leaving the city shelter for a new opportunity, effective June 2.
Pugh’s departure was announced Thursday afternoon.
“She has a wonderful opportunity outside of the city with a national animal welfare organization, and we are excited to see the impact she will continue to have on pets and people,” MAS posted to Facebook Thursday. “Alexis shared the news in person with our team this morning.”
To say this is bittersweet is an understatement. I am incredibly sad to leave you all, but I feel so good knowing this is the best team in the business, and you all will continue to exceed expectations and work every day to achieve the lofty goals we have set for ourselves over the years.
1. Because of you, people and pets in Memphis are better off, and for that I am eternally grateful.
2. For your positive attitudes, compassionate spirits, and never-ending drive to be better today than yesterday, I am eternally grateful.
3. For the sacrifices you have made mentally, emotionally, and physically for this job, I am eternally grateful.
Thank you all for making these 7 years a time in my life I will never forget; when we did what everyone said wasn’t possible in Memphis, TN. I am so proud to say I worked here with each and every one of you.
