Pet of the Week
Sophie is a female, long-haired Siamese/Himalayan mix who is about 2 years old. She is declawed and will need to be an indoor-only cat. Sophie has a great personality and likes to rub on people. If you are interested in Sophie, please click on the link below.
Meet Cinnamon (left) and Spice (right). These little girls are about 12 weeks old and are Chihuahua/Dachshund mixes. These little ones love everyone, but due to their very small size, we are looking for homes without young children. If you are interested in adopting Cinnamon and Spice, please click on the link below.
This program has provided funds for over 60 animal organizations around the state of Mississippi, primarily with their spay/neuter efforts. By promoting this fund, we are helping animals all over our state. Click here or on the image above.
