Story
Despite the fact that ATHENA is super affectionate, well-trained, and great with other dogs, she will likely be overlooked for adoption. Why? She has 3 strikes against her: 1. She's a Pit Bull Terrier, 2. She is predominantly black, and 3. She's been bred repeated and has the tell-tale signs of overbreeding. Add in the mix that she is likely heartworm positive, and her chances of a responsible loving home are slim. But we will not give up! Perhaps YOU will be her hero and her "Happily Ever After?!We are committed to improving her health, including fast-kill heartworm treatment (if she tests positive), good nutrition, and medicated baths to soothe her dermatitis. Athena is worth the effort, and we hope that someone special will see what we see...a beautiful goddess of a dog who embodies unconditional love! You may meet "Athena the Goddess" during our visiting hours Mon, Wed-Fri 10am-3:30pm and Tues 1:30pm-3pm, or please 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. *Athena'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
BUCK is a 2 yr. old American Bulldog mix with a super personality and great love of people, other doggies, and all things water! If a kiddie pool or the beach are not on the agenda for the day, he will gladly "take a swim" in his water bowl! Slish-splash...he also loves taking a bath! Buck would be a wonderful addition for any family or an active single person/couple who love to include their canine companion in their activities and adventures. What a cool sidekick this boy will be! He could easily join a home with another playful dog, as he loves romping-n-playing in our exercise yard with his buddies. Unfortunately, Buck is not fond of cats! He appears to be house trained as he keeps his kennel clean and potties as soon as he goes outdoors. Come meet this fun-loving fella during our visiting hours (Mon, Wed-Fri 10am-3:30pml, or you may call our front desk at 228-466-4516 to schedule an appointment. Please bring your children and dog(s) along for the visit to ensure compatibility. *Buck's adoption fee is $75, which includes deworming, neutering, vaccines, microchip, and a free vet check with one of our participating veterinarians Buck tested heartworm negative and is on a monthly heartworm/flea preventative. An approved adoption application always applies!

Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Cletus is a sweet boy that I adopted a 3 years ago from the humane society in Hattiesburg. His exact age is unknown, but he's probably around 6 years old. Cletus loves walks, is very affectionate, a great snuggler, and has a fun personality. He can be skittish around guns and loud noises, and while he gets along with smaller dots and cats, has proven to be aggressive or frightened around larger dogs, especially there is food around. Cletus has had maybe 2 accidents inside over the three years I've had him, and is well potty trained. Cletus can suffer from some separation anxiety at times, this dog loves being near people, even if just to lay on the ground near someone. I'm currently in the middle of a move, new job, and getting married, and right now it's mot feasible for me to keep cletus. He'd be a great dog for a small family or anyone looking for company.

Story
Meet Nash, the spirited 10-year-old pit bull mix who brings endless love to every moment of his life. With a heart full of joy and a zest for adventure, Nash is proof that age is just a number when it comes to living life to the fullest. Nash's favorite pastime is snuggling up with his loved ones. He's a master cuddler who knows just how to curl up and make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Whether it's on the couch, in bed, or even on a soft patch of grass outside, Nash's love for cuddling knows no bounds. But don't let his love for snuggles fool you! Nash is a playful bundle of energy, always ready for an exciting game or an outdoor adventure. His wagging tail and twinkling eyes are a testament to his never-ending enthusiasm. His zest for life is contagious, and his youthful spirit inspires everyone around him. Although Nash is a senior dog, you would never guess it from his playful demeanor. His age hasn't slowed him down one bit, and he approaches each day with the same enthusiasm and vigor as when he was a puppy. He's a living example that age should never be a barrier to enjoying life's simple pleasures and embracing the joy in every moment. If you're looking for a furry friend who loves to cuddle and play in equal measure, Nash is the perfect companion for you. He'll bring warmth, laughter, and endless adventures to your life, reminding you to cherish every moment and find joy in the simplest of things.We do have a 'slumber party' program which allows you to take a dog home before adopting to see if they are a good fit for your family.
