Meet Sunkist! This 1 year old Retriever/Lab mix is the perfect blend of playful spunk and laid back charm. Sunkist came into the care of HSSM on July 24, 2025, after being found as a stray in Gulfport. Though he had a microchip, no family ever came forward for him. Now, this handsome boy is patiently waiting for his second chance, the day someone looks into his big, bright eyes and says, “He’s the one.” Sunkist is the total package. He’s got good looks, great manners, and a heart full of love for his people. He already knows basic commands like “sit” and “paw” and is eager to learn more (especially if treats are involved!). Whether you’re up for an adventure or just looking for a cuddle buddy on the couch, Sunkist is ready to match your vibe. He’s neutered, fully vetted, up to date on vaccines, and 100% ready to go home. If you’ve been searching for a fun loving, loyal best friend, look no further! Sunkist is right here at HSSM, waiting to greet you with a wagging tail, a big smile, and a whole lot of love to give. Come meet Sunkist today, your sunshine in dog form!

HSSM is home to over 300 pets on any given day, most of which are looking for new forever homes! Your new best friend could be waiting at HSSM right now. Our beautiful, 41,000 square foot facility is currently open to the public. HSSM is open for adoptions Tuesday – Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. No appointment is necessary to adopt, however, adoptions are first-come, first served. You must come to HSSM to complete your adoption and make sure you bring a photo ID, as it is required to complete adoption paperwork.
Our adoptable animals page is self-updating and displays ALL of HSSM’s adorable adoptable pets from “pocket pets” to birds and of course the hundreds of dogs and cats currently calling HSSM home! See one you like? Make sure you note your favorite’s name and animal ID number so that HSSM staff and volunteers can easily find him/her when you come in!
Adoptions are cut off every day about 30 minutes prior to closing and possibly earlier if volume is high. Weekends are busy and you may have to wait more than an hour (especially in the afternoons) so please be prepared.
