Mission

The mission of the Humane Society of South Mississippi (HSSM) is to advocate for the prevention of suffering of South Mississippi animals, provide the highest quality services and compassion to the animals entrusted to our care, reduce companion animal overpopulation and increase the save-rate of animals in our community, and promote the bond between animals and humans. The Society is so much more than a shelter; it is home to the 14,000 animals dropped off every year by Animal Control and members of the community. The HSSM cares for these abandoned animals and provides a temporary, loving home while doing all they can to find them a home for life.
