Gypsy is a 4-month-old Terrier mix bursting with puppy charm and curiosity. This little adventurer loves exploring the world around her, turning every toy, leaf, and new sound into an exciting discovery. She has a playful, spunky personality balanced with plenty of sweet moments where she’s happy to soak up attention and snuggles.

Like most puppies her age, Gypsy is still learning all the basics and will thrive with a family ready to guide her through training, socialization, and daily routines. She’s eager to learn, loves staying busy, and would do wonderfully in a home that can provide patience, structure, and lots of positive experiences as she grows.

Gypsy is ready to start her journey with a family who will help her blossom into a confident, loving companion. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate puppy to grow alongside your family, Gypsy may be your perfect match.

Gypsy's $300 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccines, microchip AND transport fee to a location near you. We currently have transportation to CT, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, GA, and TN. Please email transport@hssm.org for more information on transports!

--> If you are interested in adopting Gypsy please fill out our online application here: (https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 - Dog). A staff member will reach out if your application is approved to discuss the adoption process. No fenced in yard required, and YES - we adopt to families with children! The adoption will not be final until the adoption contract is discussed and signed. Transports are arranged for specific dates, typically within 1-3 weeks of approving your application. Adopters will meet at a designated meeting spot to pick up their new companions. For further information, please first fill out the application referenced above.

More about this shelter

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.
