Lead Me Home Animal Rescue is a non profit organization that helps to lower the number of unwanted pets in our area and finding them homes in the Northern states.

We are newly formed no kill shelter which utilizes temporary housing for homeless animals within the Oxford/Lafayette County, MS community. We utilize foster the use of foster homes, adoptions, and transports to socialize and provide the environmental stimulation in a home as frequently as possible, promote spay/neuter, and transports to prevent unnecessary euthanasia for treatable illness or lack of space.

We are a 501c3 that took over a local municipal shelter (contract). We work to help the animals in our community. All animals are provided with vaccines, meds, altered, and microchipped before adoption. We also treat all hw pos. dogs.

The 9 Lives Cat Rescue is a small, welcoming group for cats and the people who love them. Since its foundation in 2006, it has provided care and compassion to stray and surrendered cats in Oxford and Lafayette County MS. The 9 Lives Cat Rescue Group is a volunteer only based 501(C)3 non-profit group. We can take in a limited number of animals (all ages) depending on available foster homes. We offer low and free spay/neuter surgeries for cats (and the occasional dog). We help with transporting animals to/from the veterinarians on surgery days for owners that are unable to do so (no vehicle, cannot afford gas, working hrs, other). We give advice to people to help them keeping their animals to prevent them from being surrendered to 9LCR or to high kill shelters. We practice TNR since 2006 and have managed that way cat populations on several locations in town. Trapped feral cats are not tested for FelV/Fiv as a standard procedure, only if they appear sickly and veterinarian suspects they may be positive. 9LCR is helping with injured (feral) cats and provides trapping of those and consequent medical care. 9LCR has bottle-fed orphans, cared for sick and injured cats/kittens. We do as much as possible to avoid euthanasia. Euthanasia is only considered if a veterinarian recommends it and there is no other hope for recovery.

Union County Humane Society is a foster-based rescue. We take in strays in our county and place them into foster homes. We then vaccinate, deworm, and treat all of our animals for anything they may have. Once the animals are healthy, they are put up for adoption.

We are a group of fosters who have come together to form this group in an order to help clear the kill shelters in the Memphis area

ARF of MS is a no-kill, guaranty adoption organization. When we rescue, we make a commitment to always be there for the life of animal. Here is where we are different from other organizations; we believe all animals deserve a chance, not just the cute fluffy ones. Therefore, we have a building full of dogs and cats who are all worthy, loving and waiting patiently for someone to come along and look into the eyes and give them a chance. Many of our long term residents have found a home after years of waiting.

We are non-profit, foster based, animal rescue group. Our mission is to save the unwanted, heal the damaged, and promote pet population control.

Shaw PBR is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving abused, abandoned or neglected American Pit Bull Terriers. We have over 30 years experience with pit bulls, and truly believe they are wonderful, loving animals that deserve the chance to have a good life. Over the years, we have seen many cases of irresponsible pet ownership, resulting in dumped, lost, mistreated or surrendered animals. By educating the public about responsible pet ownership issues, we hope to improve the overall welfare of pets in our society. Originally intending to rehabilitate one to two dogs at a time, we now have 24 adopt-a-bulls - and all are awaiting their forever homes. One major difference of Shaw PBR over most other rescues, and shelters - is that all dogs that come to us are at our facility until new homes are found. We also do not utilize fosters - all dogs are in our personal care so that we can better monitor their health and answer any questions potential owners may have regarding behavior, etc. We do not have a staff - we both work full time jobs, on top of the rescue work. Thankfully, we have a a few volunteers that help with fundraisers, events, networking, dog socializing and help with 'doggie spa days'.

Animal Advocates of Pearl River County was founded to help make positive changes against animal cruelty in our community.
