Story
Hound mix UTD, spayed Good with other dogs Lucy is about five and a half years old, weighs around fifty pounds, and has tested negative for heartworms.  She came in as a stray with puppies, and although her puppies have all found homes, Lucy hadn't had much human interaction so she needed time to adjust.  She is very good in her kennel and will now walk on a leash but is still very wary of people.  Although she is still a work in progress, we would love a foster or adopter to bring her home and continue working with her to show love and how to trust.  If you think you can provide a secure, patient home, please submit an application from our website eastmsanimalrescue.com.     In order to be considered for the adoption process, please fill out the adoption pre-interview form located HERE. This form MUST be COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED before inquiring about adoption. A representative from EMAR will respond in a timely manner. Adoption fees vary per animal based on age, breed, expenses, etc.April 20, 2024, 12:36 pm

Story
Beagle/Terrier mix UTD neutered Peanut is about three and an half years old, weighs 35 pounds, has tested negative for heartworms, and is kennel-trained.  He was pulled from the local Animal Control where he was not eligible for adoption due to being on the shy side.  He is still afraid of people but has made great strides in his foster home; with a patient person, a confident canine friend, and a securely fenced-in yard we're sure he'll settle in and show how gentle he is!  He loves sleeping on the sofa, and although he currently is not comfortable on a leash he is quite food motivated.     In order to be considered for the adoption process, please fill out the adoption pre-interview form located HERE. This form MUST be COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED before inquiring about adoption. A representative from EMAR will respond in a timely manner.
