Story
Meet Onyx Attention black lab lovers! This boy is an all-star! Onyx is a one year old lovebug who will steal your heart instantly with his affectionate personality. This young lab would love to have a family of his own. He makes friends wherever he goes, with other pups and even young kids too! In fact a home with another dog would be perfect but definitely not required. And of course he'd love to have some kiddos to play with too. Don't have either? No worries at all. He'd love to be the center of your dog-loving world! Onyx is a smart boy and he's learning new things in his foster home every day. He would enjoy having an active family to keep him entertained. Estimated at just over a year old, this boy has had a rough start to life. The day he stepped paw in our rescue, his story changed for the better! Onyx is an intelligent boy who is kennel trained and already made quick work on becoming housebroken. Playing with toys and snuggling with his humans are two of his favorite activities! Need some extra love in your life? Adopt this handsome boy and never feel lonely again! For more information on how to make this awesome pup the newest member of your family please keep reading... ***** To apply for adoption, please go to www.animalaidms.org/adopt and complete our online application. We review all applications within 1-3 days. If you seem like a good fit for Onyx we will reply with a phone call. Note: If you send an inquiry through Adoptapet or a message on Facebook it might get lost in the shuffle as we are a small volunteer team. But we do review every application. Be sure to complete the entire application as incomplete applications will not reach us. The dog you are considering is located in South Mississippi. We conduct virtual meet and greets for out-of-town applicants and can provide for transport (fee added to cost of adoption) to many northeastern states. At this time we are not able to transport into Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine or Rhode Island. To follow our rescue and all of the animals we help, like our Facebook page - Animal AID Mississippi, follow @animalaidms on Instagram or visit www.facebook.com/animalaidofms.

Story
VIOLET is a beautiful 2 yr. old Texas Blue Lacy (or perhaps Weimaraner) mix. She is leggy, athletic, and loves romping-n-playing with her pals. She came in very thin but is gaining weight and thriving - she gets a lot of loving support from our staff and volunteers and her besties Charlene & Vivi. Violet would be an excellent companion for an active single person/couple seeking a canine best friend to share in their activities. Or she could join a home with another playful, friendly dog (or two or three) and a family with older kiddos. She is just a great dog with a wonderful personality...and she's beautiful too! Violet is even more lovely in person - come by and see for yourself. Our visiting hours are Mon, Wed-Fri 10am-3:30pm and Tues 1:30pm-3:30pm, or you may call our front desk at 228-466-4516 to schedule an appointment. Please bring your kiddos and dog (s) along for the visit to ensure compatibility. *Violet's adoption fee is $75, which includes deworming, spaying, vaccines, microchip, heartworm test, and a free vet check with one of our participating veterinarians. An approved adoption application always applies!

Story
This elegant lady is more mature than the usual residents here at our shelter. We believe PATCHES to be approx. 4 years old, and she looks to be a beautiful Boxer/Staffie/Cur mix. She is super sweet & loving, and she extends her good nature to other friendly dogs. One of her friends is JAGGER (see video), a shy Lab mix boy also available to rescue. She interacts calmly with other canine friends and loves to be in the company of our staff & volunteers. She would be a lovely companion for a single person/couple of any age or could join a family with children. She appears to be house trained as she potties immediately upon going outdoors, and she keeps her kennel clean.
