About Us
The mission of the Humane Society of South Mississippi is to save and enhance the lives of pets through cooperative and innovative approaches to adoption, spay/neuter, sheltering, wellness and community engagement.
HSSM is the largest animal welfare organization in the state of Mississippi that is an open admission shelter that turns no pet away based on health, age or behavioral status. HSSM has recently reached a National "No-Kill" Shelter status of a 90% live release rate. HSSM takes in over 7,000 of the most vulnerable pets along the MS Gulf Coast and our current live release rate is 94%. HSSM is a 100% independent, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We depend on the support of our community to continue providing high quality care to our shelter pets while being a resource to the community in need.
