Animal Shelters in Mississippi
Mississippi has 124 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 37 counties. About half are animal shelters. Jackson has more than any other Mississippi city, followed by Oxford and Gulfport. Most keep a building open to visitors, so an afternoon is usually enough to know.
Mississippi has 124 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.
Mostly shelters and humane societies, 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.
Jackson has more than anywhere else in Mississippi, followed by Oxford, Gulfport and Corinth. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.
Hinds, DeSoto and Warren counties have the most, though listings reach 37 of Mississippi's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.
Most listings here carry 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.
