She has been a fantastic mom, and now it’s time for Sunny to find the loving home she deserves! Female | Small Ridgeback mix ~45-50lbs | Heart full of love True to her name, Sunny is a little beam of light — warm, gentle, and full of love for everyone she meets. Found as a heavily pregnant stray just before a cold storm, this brave mama was found shelter and care just in time. Her previous owner has not been found, but Sunny hasn’t let that dim her spirit one bit. She’s incredibly sweet and adores people, greeting everyone with soft eyes and a happy tail. She’s also fine with other animals — easygoing and kind. After surviving uncertainty and bringing her puppies safely into the world, Sunny and her pups will be ready for a home of their own — one where they can trade cold nights for cozy beds, and worry for warmth and love. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who radiates joy and gratitude, Sunny will fill your life with light every single day. Apply to adopt her at www.wtfarmtn.org

Adoption Application: https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 Contact: transport@hssm.org Meet Hayden, a 2-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog with striking looks and a lively, loyal spirit. Found as a stray in Long Beach Mississippi he was brought to the Humane Society of South Mississippi. He’s smart, alert, and loves having a job to do — whether that’s exploring the outdoors, playing with purpose, or learning something new. He did seem a little reserved and shy at first, but with a little time and meeting new people he has become more comfortable with his surroundings and has opened up a bit. Hayden thrives on activity and engagement, making him a great match for an adopter who enjoys adventure and understands working-breed energy. He bonds closely with his people and brings both enthusiasm and devotion to the relationship. He does fine around other dogs. He is a little unsure at first but once he has a few minutes to warm up he starts to run around and play with the other dog. If you’re looking for a bright, athletic companion with personality and drive, Hayden is ready to put his heart to work for his forever family. Hayden is up to date on vaccines and prevention. He will be neutered upon adoption and even though he has tested positive for heartworms we have no doubt that with proper treatment he can live out the rest of his long life happy and healthy. Hayden'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 Hayden please fill out our online application here: (https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 - Dog).

Since her arrival, she has completely stolen the hearts of staff and volunteers alike with her gentle soul, calm nature, and wonderfully well-rounded manners. Kaylee walks on her leash like an absolute lady—graceful, confident, and just a touch sassy with every step. Her calm, cool demeanor makes her a fantastic family dog, especially for those looking for a companion who brings peace and warmth into the home. She loves spending time in the yard soaking up sunshine and fresh air, and she’s happiest when she’s close to her people. Bonus: her kisses are truly top tier. While Kaylee Ann enjoys companionship, she’s also content entertaining herself when needed, making her a great match for households with busy days but loving evenings. She would thrive in a calmer home where she can relax with her favorite humans, though she’s always up for the occasional new adventure. Kaylee is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and spayed. She has tested positive for heartworms, but with the proper treatment she can live out her life happy and healthy. If you’re searching for a loyal, loving companion with a peaceful presence and a heart of gold, Kaylee Ann may be the one you’ve been waiting for.
