Animal Shelters in Columbus, MS

Columbus has two listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Lowndes County. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and humane societies. Caledonia and West Point, both within about 19 miles, have listings of their own. A handful of places, and behind each of them a dog or cat hoping this is the week.

Columbus has two listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first.

A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

The Columbus listings all fall in Lowndes County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.

If nothing here suits, Caledonia, West Point and Vernon all have listings within about 23 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

Every listing here carries a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
