Before you go

Adopting from Desoto Animal Rescue Society

Adoption process

We do not operate a physical shelter where visitors can meet our pets. Instead, all of our rescued animals are cared for in our own homes, where they receive evaluation and care until they are matched with their ideal adoptive families. We strive to make the best possible match between pets and families. To ensure this, we carefully screen prospective homes and require all applicants to complete an adoption application process. Anyone interested in adopting an animal must first fill out a pre-adoption survey. Once the application is approved, we will review the adoption contract with you to confirm that the animal will be properly cared for. The standard donations for adoption are $125 for dogs and $75 for cats. These donations help cover the cost of vaccinations, spaying or neutering, heartworm screening and treatment, feline AIDS and leukemia tests, and other veterinary care.

Service area: We serve all of Desoto County, Mississippi, as well as the surrounding communities.
County: DeSoto County
