Mid-South Spay & Neuter Services Will Host “Adopt a Shelter Pet” Limited Edition Stamp Unveiling with USPS
Memphis, TN Mid-South Spay & Neuter Services will host the local unveiling of the 2010 limited edition "Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet" stamp on Saturday, May 29th, 1-3 pm at Askew Nixon Ferguson Architects located at 1500 Union Avenue. ANF are the architects of the new Memphis Animal Shelter. The stamp set features photographs of real shelter pets and the USPS has anticipated its popularity by printing 300 million stamps.
Barbara Standing, director of development of Mid-South Spay & Neuter hopes the stamp will draw attention to pet overpopulation as well as the need for more adoptions. She says,” This is a banner event for animal lovers and stamp enthusiasts—we’re hoping many of both will come out. The event is free and open to the public and the USPS will be there with its mobile post office ready to sell the animal themed stamps and other commemorative items" The stamps are expected to sell out quickly nationwide.
To assist with the official stamp unveiling will be Congressman Steve Cohen and new shelter administrator Matthew Pepper. To emphasize the importance of the commemorative stamp, Memphis Animal Shelter will also be on hand with some pets ready for adoption. Representatives of Mid-South Spay & Neuter Services will be available to discuss affordable and often free spay and neuter options as the humane solution to overcrowding at our shelters and animal rescue groups.
“Mid-South Spay & Neuter Services is proud to work with such organizations as the United States Postal Service and Memphis Animal Services,” says Standing. “The problem of pet population is multi-faceted and requires the input and cooperation of many entities. We are excited to partner with them and look forward to a long and successful relationship.” For more information on Mid-South Spay & Neuter Services see www.spaymemphis.org
