Ruby is an 8-month-old Terrier mix who recently came into our care as an owner surrender due to having to many animals and is now looking for her forever home. She is the last of her litter left with us and we think it's her time to shine! Her picture shows her sad puppy face so you'll be tempted to come and get her so she can show you her happy face. She is still learning confidence and true to her breed she loves to talk to you.
She is shy at first but warms up instantly if you sit down with her. She will quickly come and curl up contentedly in your arms. She would love a home with another dog but she would do just fine on her own as well. She knows how to sit and we think she is mostly housebroken! If you are looking for a young pup with great potential, she may be the one for you! She is up to date on all vaccines, prevention, microchipped, heartworm negative, and will be spayed before adoption.

The Humane Society of South Mississippi (HSSM) is the largest animal welfare organization in the state of Mississippi. HSSM’s facility was built using the nation’s leading Children’s Museums as models, with bright colors and oversized architectural sculptures. We offer: pet adoptions, foster program, return-to-owner efforts, spay/neuter and wellness services, volunteer program, pet transports, youth initiatives, a food pantry and pet retention program, an on-site thrift store, and more! In 2024, HSSM cared for over 5,000 homeless pets in house and touched over 16,000 animals in the community.
Since our incorporation in 1952, HSSM has been committed to ending pet overpopulation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. HSSM is the only Open Admissions Animal Shelter in South Mississippi, meaning we accept all animals in need, regardless of age, breed, health, or temperament. This commitment ensures that no lost pet is turned away. Oftentimes our open-admissions status in a community with a disproportionately high number of homeless pets leads to needless euthanasia of adoptable pets in our shelter HSSM has vowed to change this.
