Humane Society of South Mississippi

I had my female cat Spayed in November 2018. She is in heat. Now how is that possible??? They want to charge me to check her out to see why! Nope that’s not happening. I paid them to do a job. Complete Hysterectomy. Not a half ass one. I think they do that to some of the animals so that they can charge you to finish the job🤬🤬🤬 I wish I would have taken her to a real vet! Not these amateurs!!!!!

I myself have gone through a similar situation with this shelter. Just after a lost my beloved pit/lab mix( Rosco). I went there looking for a pit bull which there were at least 4. When I ask about the puppy I went through the same thing as the 2 reviews below. I research this shelter and contacted the founding Humane society when I looked up the prices for the puppies which are extremely high. I adopted dogs in the past when they were by the airport and golf course and it was reasonable. What I found out was that the biloxi shelter had been taken over by a for-profit organization. Which explains everything including the severe disposition of the workers who all seem to care less if these poor animals are cared for or not. I was eventually FORCED to adopt from a independent breeder. I feel so sorry for these animals that are taken there my heart bleeds for them.They donot deserve to be use for corporate profit . I heard that they no longer have that shelter now. God I hope so for the sake of those poor animals

THIS IS FINISHING THE REVIEW **BELOW**



Ironically we asked if there was anywhere we could take the puppies to set them down and play with them (like most pet stores have?) , to see if they were too aggressive or if they were too afraid of us, they said no because they were so young that they could catch parvo. Little did we know they already had. My thoughts on that subject it’s called bleach.. Clean the place. It’s been done before. So as of today instead of have a puppy that is this age it will be 2 weeks older when or if I get it home. I may wait the two weeks and it may have to be killed like the rest. Puppies grow so fast I wanted to get him home before it got any bigger so my dogs would get used to him while he’s still smaller than them. Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. We have everything ready but no puppy. I guess I’ve seen too many episodes of Animal Cops to think that they would I don’t know TEST THE DOG FOR A LIFE THREATING DESEASE???!!! I don’t know that’s only the right thing to do. The idea of putting sick dogs into general population is so absurd to me I thought someone had made a huge mistake and was in huge trouble since most of them will have to be killed. Maybe they thought we’ll just wait to see the test results later. I’m sure they are fine. Nope they didn’t think at all. Again it isn’t the dogs or cats fault that they got put in there or that the people could care less if they get a good home so yes go down there pay their ever rising prices and save a life but do not expect to feel comfortable while doing so you will be rushed and in the way and will have about 100 ways that they could make things easier but oh well until a better one comes along its all we have.

I've been going to the humane society for the past two weeks looking for a new pet. I found the volunteers to be rude and more concerned with their conversations than getting anyone adopted. When I asked to hold an animal they treated me (very obviously because they do not try to hide what they think) like I had interrupted and was taking time away from their precious day of doing nothing but playing with the occasional puppy of course gossiping. They also were eager to go home even though the shelter had two hours left. I felt like I was expected to make a decision right then. Sorry I need more than five minutes to decide if I’m going to get along with this animal for the rest of its life. That is the point right? They don’t want to see them back? Then be happy not rude! Anyway we went back on a Saturday to try our luck again. After all it isn’t the animals’ fault the people don’t care. We held two lab mix puppies. They were sweet but very tired. We almost adopted one but I decided to make a few more rounds in the puppy room. Shortly after that some (finally) hushed pound workers come in behind us and take the puppies and start using words like tests, infected, and parvo. They didn’t make us leave they didn’t tell us anything. We would ask they would say ‘uhh they are sick. You should wash ur clothes before you let your dogs see you.” So people are going for cage to cage and they are putting a quarantine (VERY SLOWLY) on the puppy room. It was more than an hour and a half later that I decided on the animal of my choice and they finally shut down the puppy room because it is possible every dog in there is infected and will most likely have to be killed. They still told us everything would go like normal. The animal would be fixed Monday and we would pick it up on Tuesday or Wednesday. Monday rolls around we get a missed call. We call them back nothing. Again nothing. And again. Finally on Tuesday they answer when we brought up we couldn’t get ahold of them their attitude was one of “what do you want me to do about it”. We got ahold of the clinic where we asked where our dog was they said they didn’t know. WE told them it was supposed to be fixed yesterday and to look it looks like this.. They said there are no dogs in the clinic only paperwork and finally that our dog was placed under a quarantine and would be so for 2 weeks. We could exchange it if we want like it’s a shirt that doesn’t fit not a dog I came to love. They also let slip that they (get this) DO NOT TEST FOR THE DEADLY PARVO. THEY SIMPLY WATCH TO SEE IF ANYONE LOOKS SICK. BECAUSE THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO SCIENTIFIC. They are putting every one of the dogs in danger with their stupidity. Maybe it’s an excuse to do a clean sweep of the place. I think its disgusting the level of unprofessionalism. If you can’t afford it don’t be open.
