The boy who's smile never leaves his face, despite his past. Zimba is a 1 year old Retriever/Labrador mix who recently found himself in our care as a stray. He was microchipped, but his owner never came to reclaim him. Leaving him to wonder where they might be. As time went on he realized he would need to find a new family. Despite all of this, he wakes up every day in his kennel with a smile on his face. He is just a big ol' baby who is dog friendly, walks well on a leash, knows sit, and would love a home with a yard. He is heartworm negative, up to date on all vaccinations and prevention, and already neutered! Labs are a well known and beloved breed. Are you a lab lover?

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.
