Meet Beau; a big, gentle soul with an even bigger heart! Beau is a large Shepherd / Bernese Mountain Dog mix (we think!) and he is every bit as wonderful as that combo sounds. Big boy? Yes. Sweet boy? Absolutely This handsome guy is all about love, hugs, and cuddles. Beau truly believes he is a lap dog at heart and will happily lean in for affection whenever he gets the chance. He has the kind of calm, loving presence that just makes you feel good being around him. In his kennel, Beau is relaxed, easygoing, and well-mannered but he would love a home where he can stretch his long legs, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy more freedom to move around. He's always eager to head outside and enjoy some fresh air. What we love about Beau: BIG, beautiful boy with a gentle personality; Extremely sweet and affectionate; Loves hugs, cuddles, and human connection; Walks great on a leash; Calm, well-behaved, and easy to be around; Ready for sunshine, strolls, and a cozy place to rest. Beau is the kind of dog who will be your loyal companion, your couch buddy, and your steady presence after a long day. If you've been looking for a large dog with a soft heart and an old-soul Beau might just be your perfect match.

Bullmastiff American Staffordshire Terrier

Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
If you’re looking for a co-pilot for life’s adventures, this guy is ready to hop in the passenger seat and go. This adult American Staffordshire Terrier mix lives for the simple joys, wind in his face on a car ride, a trip to Tractor Supply, and any excuse to be out and about with his person. He’s friendly, fun-loving, and always up for whatever the day brings. Water is his absolute favorite. Splashing, playing, soaking it all in, if there’s water involved, he’s all in. He’s also been known to pull a little Houdini now and then, so a secure setup and a watchful eye will keep this adventurous spirit safe. He’s got a great personality, loves to play, and truly just enjoys being part of the action. The only thing on his “no thanks” list is cats. He’s packed, ready, and waiting for his chance to leave the rescue behind and start his next chapter. If you want a fun, loyal sidekick who’s always ready to roll, he’s your guy.June 21, 2026, 2:08 pm

Duke

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, Adult
Jackson, MS
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Duke is a handsome shepherd-hound mix with a heart full of happiness and a tail that never stops wagging. He’s the kind of dog who greets the world with enthusiasm and just wants a chance to be part of it. Duke has spent too much time without an outlet for his energy, and like many smart, active dogs, he’s made his own “projects” out of boredom—chewing blankets and anything he can find, which has unfortunately led to a few surgeries. This isn’t who he is at his core—it’s a dog who simply hasn’t had the stimulation and attention he deserves. What Duke truly needs is a home where he can stretch his legs, stay engaged, and have someone looking out for him. With the right environment, structure, and supervision, he has all the potential to be an incredibly loyal, fun, and loving companion. He was left tied to a fence, but he hasn’t let that define him. Duke is still hopeful, still joyful, and still ready to give his whole heart to someone who will give him a real chance. If you’re looking for a happy, energetic dog who just needs a little guidance and a lot of love—Duke is waiting.June 21, 2026, 2:08 pm

Story
Sonny is a long string bean of a dog. He and his brother Duke were left tied to the shelter's fence. He is timid, but warms up to people. He would make a great walking partner with those long legs. June 21, 2026, 2:08 pm

Good with kids, Good with dogs,
Story
Valentine is a little red ray of sunshine with a goofy personality and a heart way too big for shelter life. This young mixed breed girl is playful, affectionate, curious, and always ready for fun—especially if toys or her besties Hope and Tammy are involved. She’s got that perfect mix of energy and sweetness: happy to zoom around and play, then perfectly content to chill once she’s gotten her wiggles out. Valentine is eager to please, loves being close to her people, and would gladly sign up for the position of lap dog after playtime ends. She’s the kind of happy soul who makes every day feel lighter.June 21, 2026, 2:08 pm
