OH BOY WHAT A DAY!!
When I thought the day couldn't get any better, Aspen found his second chance. Two adoptions in one day, makes all the hard work worth it. The Dixon family had came to the shelter a couple weeks ago to visit the dogs. Today they came back and made Aspen part of their family. He is settling in great, already made himself at home on the couch. Thank you everyone for supporting the McComb Animal Shelter! We couldn't save so many lives without you!

Thank you everyone who made this match possible! Thank you Hennington Wellness Center for sponsoring not only her adoption fee but also her heartworm treatment!
We can't wait for updates, and I hope her nose doesn't get her in to much trouble.

With another blast of cold weather this weekend, we are bringing all the dogs inside to keep them warm. All those extra dogs inside the shelter means lots of extra blankets to wash. But we are running super low on laundry soap, doggies would be so appreciated if anyone could donate them some. The brand doesn't matter, they aren't picky.
We can always use old newspapers also. Donations can be dropped off at 125 East Michigan Ave McComb MS just give us a call at 601-684-3602 and we can come help you unload.

Curiosity of this cat sure got him in a pickle!
Thank goodness when a concerned citizen kept hearing a cat cry out, he decided to investigate. Finding the source of the cry he was baffled to why the cat couldn't get out of the tree, as he was only about 5ft off the ground. Not knowing how to handle cats, he called us for help.
Upon arriving on scene I was quickly able to see that something wasn't right about this situation. It wasnt hard to piece together a series of events that left this cat hanging on for dear life. Apparently while much higher in the tree, the cat slipped. When normally would result a not so graceful fall back to the earth. This unlucky cat ended with his head wedged between 2 limbs.
Using all the strength i had, i couldn't get the limbs to part. I knew I needed back up! Thank goodness for McComb FD showing up and showing out. Three of McComb finest coming to the rescue to this cat who wouldn't have survived another night.
He is now safe at the animal shelter, where he will be available for adoption soon. I have decided to name him Pickle!

Hey Santa, would you share your cookies with sweet Laney? She sure deserves some for putting up with me today.

Laney is catahoula shepherd mix, who we believe is around a year old. She had wondered up to a apartment complex about a month ago but sadly no dogs were allowed. We picked her up. No owner ever came looking for her.
She sure loves the food and attention we provide. But she sure wishes she could find a home without the bars of a cage. She is very playful and loves toys.
She loves everyone she meets and isn't the best guard dog. She probably would help the burglar carry the TV to their car. But her loving personality makes up for that. She is a talker during feeding time, only because she doesnt want to be forgotten. Her favorite place to sleep is on top her dog house, like Snoopy.
She seems to be dog friendly but we recommend a introduction of current pets, with any dog you want to adopt. She seemed fine with Lucy the cat, even after Lucy smacked her nose.
To set up a appointment to meet Laney please call the shelter at 601-684-3602 or PM this page. We would love to find Laney a great home before the Holiday.
Please help by sharing.

Dear Santa,
Cupcake says she can explain everything.......

Doesnt the black spots all over her look like she is covered in sprinkles? 🧁 Or maybe I am just hungry
Cupcake is a 7mth old Pittie mix, who would just like a little boy or girl to play with. She is the typically playful pup, who could use a yard to run in. She walks well on leash, but could use to learn some doggie manners. She gets along with other dogs but does best with one who matches her energy.
We would love to see her in a home before Christmas. Please help us by sharing her pictures and for more information PM this page. To make a appointment to meet Cupcake call the shelter at 601-684-3602
Video in comment that will sure put a smile in your face. We don't know why no one ever came looking for this fun loving pup.

Timber has definitely made the NICE list this year! He sure hopes Santa brings him a family to call his own!
Timber is a 3 year old Australian shepherd mix male. It is hard to tell in pictures but he has a short tail, that doesn't stop wagging. He is the best dog at the shelter, in fact he is one of my favorites. He is one I would almost guarantee is house broke. As long as I walk him 3 times a day he will not use the bathroom in his kennel. He walks well on leash, but does get excited when he first sees you. He loves attention and sometimes barks to get it. But he isn't a non stop barker at the shelter. He likes kids and minds his manners around them.
He does like to be top dog, so he would need to meet any brothers or sisters of the 4 legged kind. He prefers female companionship over males. He passed his cat test but would need to be introduced slowly to make sure he is completely cat friendly.
Please share his pictures and help get him under a Christmas tree this Christmas!
To meet Timber you can call the shelter at 601-684-3602 to make a appointment, we are located at 125 East Michigan Ave McComb, MS
If you have any questions feel free to PM us and we would be glad to help.

Kathy here is one of our longest residents, living at the shelter for over a year. Thanks to Hennington Wellness Clinic, her adoption fee has been sponsored!
She is in her golden years (7yrs +) but don't let that fool you! She has so much life left to live! Although she does good with other dogs, she prefers the calmer dogs, over a pup who doesn't mind their manners. She passed her cat test with flying colors. Not saying she wouldnt give chase to a cat who may run. After all, what dog doesn't enjoy a game of chase. She likes to keep her kennel clean and walks well on leash. She loves attention but content just laying around being lazy. To make an appointment to meet Kathy or any of the other animals at the shelter please call 601-684-3602. We are located at 125 East Michigan Ave McComb, MS
Please share and lets find Kathy the home she deserves! We can't do it without you!

Petrie wants everyone to know it is cool to stay in school!
But when the teachers at the McComb High School showed up this morning to find this little guy in attendance, they said "nope, he got to go." He was just hanging out waiting on class to start, when I arrived. He was safely removed, and took a short field trip to the animal shelter. But dont worry once it got dark he was successfully released. Here are some fun facts about Bats, some I didn't even know....
👉 Bats are the only flying mammals. They make up the second largest order of mammals, only second to rodents.
👉 There are 15 different species of bats in Mississippi.
👉 All bats in Mississippi are insectivorous, which means they only eat insects.
👉 Bats can consume their body weight in insects every night. That adds up to be around 1,200 mosquitoes a hour.
👉 Bats can live more then 30 years and fly at speeds of 60 miles per hour.
👉 Baby bats are called pups. Most bats give birth to only one pup a year. Like other mammals, mothers feed their pups breastmilk.
👉 Bats have belly buttons just like we do.
See isn't learning fun!

We don't know much about Sage's story but we do know she is going to have a happy ending!
We assumed she was trapped living on the streets. She was terrified of us for weeks. But lots of work and lots of treats, she now has decided that people aren't so bad. She is learning to trust, but still very shy. But thanks to angel in disguise, she is now in foster home learning all about how to be a house dog. Thank you Miss. Ann for opening up your home, and helping her over come her fears.

We have just the cure for the rainy, gloomy Monday blues. We wanted to give a update on our "Home for the Holiday" campaign. Although we have a couple weeks to go, we are over joyed with the results so far!
Since November 1st we have had 45 animals leave our shelter! We could not have done this without the help and support of each of you!
It breaks down as the following: 12 dogs/pups have been returned to owner, 6 dogs/pups have been adopted and 7 dogs/pups were pulled by rescue. We also have had 14 cats/kittens get adopted and 6 cats/kittens get pulled by rescue.
We still have so many dogs and cats whose Christmas wish, is a home of their own. So please continue to share, we can't do this without you!

We would like to THANK everyone who has donated blankets and sheets this week to the animals at the shelter. They absolutely love having a soft place to lay down on these cold nights.

Adopted!
"JUST LOOK AROUND, LOOK AROUND AT HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW"
Hamilton was picked up as a stray in McComb a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately no owner came forward for him. He is now available for adoption. We believe he is around 4 years old. He seems to get along with most dogs. He loves attention and has alot to say when he doesnt get it. He knows basic commands like sit, stay, shake and leave it. He can be playful, when he first meets you, he is a dog after all. Although he doesn't mind being at the shelter too much, he would really like to find himself a family of his own.
He has been neutered and up to date on shots. To set up a appointment to meet Hamilton please call us at 601-684-3602 or message our page.
