Please do not contact us through Petfinder. Due to the number of inquiries we receive, we recommend contacting us by phone at 662-846-1155 or by email at Jamie.grant@cityofclevelandms.com if you have a specific question about an animal. We will not schedule an adoption until an adopter has filled out an adoption application.

Story
Courtesy Post – Not a Tired Dog Rescue Dog Meet Riley 🐾 Riley is a beautiful 2-year-old Black Labrador Retriever mix looking for a loving new home. She weighs about 40 pounds and has the sweet, friendly personality Labs are known for. Riley is spayed, potty trained, fully vaccinated, and current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

About Riley: • Friendly with people she knows and strangers • Gets along well with other dogs • Good with cats • Potty trained • Up to date on vet care (seen at Bienville Animal Medical Center) Riley has not been around children, so a meet and greet would be recommended if there are kids in the home. She is a sweet, social dog who would love a family that will give her the attention and companionship she deserves. ❤️ 📍 Located in Gulfport, MS ⚠️ Courtesy Post: Riley is not in the care or custody of Tired Dog Rescue.

Story
Courtesy Post – Meet Lucky! 🐾 📍 Gulfport, MS | Through Tired Dog Rescue Lucky is a handsome young Catahoula mix with a sweet personality and lots of love to give! At just about 1 year old, this black and white boy is full of playful energy and is ready to find a family that can keep up with his adventurous spirit. Lucky was abandoned at a family’s home last summer, and they took him in to keep him safe. He has been a wonderful companion, but they know he deserves a home that can better meet his needs. 💙 About Lucky: • Neutered male • Approx. 25–50 lbs • Friendly and playful • Good with kids (currently lives with a 5- and 6-year-old) • Good with dogs • Respectful with cats (more playful than anything) • Knows “sit” • Loves to run, play ball, and explore Lucky is truly a sweetheart and has never shown aggression. He loves people and enjoys being part of the family. ⚡ His ideal home: Lucky is an active dog who loves to run and play, so he would do best with a secure fenced yard where he can safely burn off his energy. He also enjoys chew toys and bones to keep him busy. This boy just needs the right family that can give him space to run, play, and be the happy dog he was meant to be. ❤️ Lucky has been through abandonment but hasn’t lost his loving heart. Let’s help him find the forever home he deserves. 📍 Located in Gulfport, Mississippi 📩 Courtesy post through Tired Dog Rescue
