We've been trying out best to assist as many dogs and cats as possible, in order to stop the insane flow of helpless, homeless pets from entering the shelter or worse. (Sorry I haven't posted the pictures, but life has been throwing me some curveballs). But this mission CANNOT succeed without your continued generosity and support. It is so so important to address these needs and PREVENT new litters from contributing to the overpopulation that we have. If you agree and would like to help us continue to do good for the dogs of Bamberg County and beyond, please consider a donation of any size (it all adds up). You can provide a full sponsorship for $125.00. A monthly donation of any size helps us be able to plan our budget. Donations can be made via paypal at:

In the meantime, please meet three of the lucky ones who are scheduled for surgery. We have a long list waiting. Here's Luna, Gracie and Myrtle.

This week, we got in SEVEN more dogs and kitties to be spayed and neutered. And we already have 6 more lined up for 3/8. It is but a drop in the bucket but every little bit helps! With more donations, we can help more dogs and cats to NOT contribute to the extreme overpopulation issue we have. If you would like to donate to our cause, you can go to:

And here is an example - just ONE example of the things rescuers - those of us who are trying so hard are faced with…

We had appts to have TWELVE cats spayed and neutered for a local family. These cats are living inside the house with no litter boxes (yeah that’s what I was told), and are inbreeding. It started with one pregnant mother cat and has now increased to 14 cats. Two are pregnant and those cats were not allowed to be spayed because the person said her favorite cat is the father and she wants yet ANOTHER kitten from that cat. So probably 12 more cats are coming into the world so she can have another kitten. Another kitten who will not be fixed, who will not be vaccinated, and will continue the breeding cycle. But, I digress…

Arrangements were made and our board member agreed to make the TWO AND A HALF hour trip to make this happen and then go back the next day to pick them up. A reminder set call was made the day before the pick up day. Traps were at the ready for transporting the cats. On the day of pick up a call was made asking if she could come on over to get the cats. She was told no because the owner said she was out to dinner with her family 12 miles away and would not be home until late that night. But she’s sorry. She was asked if she could just quickly run home and then go back. No. Oh, but she’s sorry.

She was asked if she would put the cats in the traps when she got home and leave them on the front porch so they could be picked up at 5:30 the following morning so they could make their 8:00 appt. No, she was not willing to do that. The appts had to be cancelled at the last minute. The organization who agreed to have this done is upset because they reserved those spots over two weeks ago. Other cats did not get them who could have. The vet is livid. Our board member is livid and feeling defeated and is no longer willing to go this extra mile to try to do good. We will not be extending our hand again only to be burned. Nobody won on this. Everybody lost. Most importantly once again the animals who have no say.

Spay neuter appointments are GOLD. What a gift this family had been given and it is so sad it was obviously meaningless to them.

We will continue to do our best but today was a kick in the teeth.

Our Foundation is full steam ahead and we have 4 dogs (already) who we are planning to help with spay/neuter, and several more applications/inquiries that we are working through. We are hoping our fabulous supporters will continue to help with this most important mission by donating to the cost of these surgeries. We are trying to raise $100 each for these sweet pups. Dyno, Simba, Stormy and Abby are depending on you, as well as the others who are lining up for help. One dog who lives with Dyno and Simba already has pups on the ground so we need to help with this!!! If you'd like to make a donation that will prevent 67,000 dogs EACH - yes, SIXTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOGS each that could be born over the next five years, please make a donation of any size at:

M.A.M.A.S. Foundation....LOVE LIVES ON!!!
Mary Ann Morris Animal Society (M.A.M.A.S.) is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to reducing the overpopulation of dogs and cats and improving their quality of life. Our mission is to assist the community with much needed resources to reduce the suffering and homelessness of dogs and cats. Our emphasis is on breaking the breeding cycle by supporting spay and neuter, resulting in fewer animals entering shelters, or living lives of pain, hunger, and disease as strays. We also offer education and assistance to owners, providing a better life for these companion animals who cannot speak for themselves.

Rainy Day keeping everyone inside (we hope!) what are you and your animals doing today to stay warm?

01/09/2025

It has been brought to our attention that someone stated that we "paid" "volunteers" in VA. To set the record straight - we usually had a staff of 8 people in Bamberg (not at one time but it WAS a 7 day a week operation) and some off site employees.
We did not pay volunteers. Also - we were never a county shelter. We ACTED as the county shelter, (because there was nothing else) in that we accepted almost all dogs brought to us for almost 24 years, but were always a private 501c3 non profit rescue- NOT governed by the County. We were awarded the 2024 Angel Award by the state, an award congratulating non profits for good use of funds. And we did not operate a puppy mill in Virginia. Completely untrue. We had a rescue arm in VA with fosters (who we appreciate so very much) where dogs went to get out of the shelter and be adopted into qualified homes., making more space for new dogs to come into the shelter. We are proud of the work we did, and the standards we held. We wish the very best of luck to Bamberg County Animal Control in their efforts to help Bamberg County dogs and cats and will do everything we can to help them succeed.

All of our doggies and kitties have gotten a place to go! They all left this past weekend for new homes and rescues! YAY!!! We will spend the rest of the month getting the shelter ready for Bamberg County Animal Control to take over the facility. We're happy that the stray and owner surrender dogs of the County will have a nice, comfortable place to reside after they are picked up. We're leaving them all set up with crates, vaccines, medicine, dewormer, Capstar and flea preventatives, heartworm tests, parvo tests, cleaning supplies, office supplies, beds, blankets, sweaters and coats, grooming supplies. We want this transition to be as smooth and easy as possible for everyone involved. They expect to be there 2/1. And our MAMAS Foundation will be kicking off not long afterwards with spay/neuter assistance. We've already done 9 cats free of charge and we haven't even kicked off the Foundation. Details of what we will be offering for the months of February/March will be coming soon!
