✨We aren't supposed to have favorites. We definitely aren't supposed to get attached. And we absolutely shouldn't bring a dog home "just for the weekend" in hopes the husband gets so attached he can't possibly let the dog go back to the shelter.
🐾Tillman doesn't have a good past. But I made him a promise that he'd never be tied to a concrete block again. He'd never be hungry. He'd never want for anything. It became my personal mission to find the perfect home for him. It was challenging. And it broke my heart every single time I'd have to tell someone "Tillman isn't going to be a good fit in your home" because I felt like I was failing him.
✨Then I decided to bring him home so I could "just see" how he did in a home, around people full time, if he was actually scared of cats or was he just being dramatic. And while he *is* dramatic, he's genuinely terrified of our feline friends. And then came Tuesday. I cried the entire way to work. By noon, it was decided. Tilly wouldn't ever spend another night in a shelter. My red boy had already found his home. He's got medium sized humans who love him to their core, a human dad who definitely didn't say "no more animals", and a human mom who would move heaven and earth for her Red boy.
I think we all knew this was going to happen eventually.
~ACO Parks, Tillman's forever mama.

Cruella’s face says it all—she isn’t a happy camper!

After being abandoned at a local store by her owner, she found her way to us. The thing is, Cruella isn’t too fond of human interaction. What she really wants is a home where she can roam freely. Keeping a semi-feral cat in a cage only causes her stress—and it also takes up a kennel that could house a more adoptable cat or kitten.

She is being spayed today and is ready to find her new home. Her adoption fee is $50, and we’d love for someone to sponsor her.

If you’re looking for an outdoor or barn cat, please stop by the McComb Animal Shelter at 125 E. Michigan Ave, McComb, MS, to meet Cruella.

💔 Meet Gilbert & Liberty 💔

Two new faces recently came into our care, and their stories are heartbreaking.

🐾 Gilbert is a 10-month-old pittie mix who was found wearing a collar so small it was at risk of becoming embedding into his neck. Despite this painful situation, he greeted us with trust and sweetness.

🐾 Liberty was picked up in an even more desperate condition—severely emaciated, dragging a leash behind her, and running toward cars as if begging someone to stop and help her. The relief in her eyes when she finally arrived at the shelter spoke volumes.

Both dogs are now safe with us. They’re receiving the care and love they desperately need, and even after all they’ve endured, their gentle spirits shine through.

🙏 Please keep Gilbert and Liberty in your hearts as they begin their healing journeys. Sharing their story helps us remind the community why compassion matters.

We would like to clarify what McComb Shelter is:

We are the City of McComb, MS Animal Control Shelter. Our mission is simple: to make life better for both animals and people in our community through compassion, education, law enforcement, and proactive community engagement.

We are an animal control shelter that houses animals picked up within the city limits. We are not an open-intake shelter and cannot accept animals dropped off at our facility. Our team responds to calls and complaints involving stray animals, animal cruelty, and certain wildlife issues—always within the McComb city limits. We work alongside the McComb Police Department to enforce the City of McComb’s animal ordinances.
The shelter is staffed by two dedicated employees who work tirelessly and often long hours to provide care for the animals and service to the community. Their commitment ensures that every animal receives compassionate treatment and that community concerns are addressed promptly and responsibly.
Any animal in our care that is not reclaimed by its owner will be vetted and placed for adoption. The adoption fee is $75 for dogs and $50 for cats, which includes up-to-date vaccines and spay/neuter services. Each year, we take in around 500 animals, with the capacity to house up to 40 animals at a time. The McComb Animal Control Shelter is proud to operate as a no-kill facility for space, ensuring that no animal is euthanized due to lack of housing.
We are deeply grateful for the continued support of our community. Whether through adopting, volunteering, donating, or simply spreading awareness, your involvement makes a lasting difference in the lives of the animals we serve. Together, we can continue to build a more compassionate community for both people and animals.
For your animal control needs within the City of McComb we can be reached at 601-684-3602
Hours of operation Monday-Friday 8am-5pm
We are located at 125 East Michigan Ave McComb MS 39648
Adoption hours are 2-5 Mon-Friday, but we recommend calling ahead to make sure we havent been pulled away on a animal emergency.
Please help us by sharing.

As our month is coming to a close at Petsense of McComb, we still have 3 of the sweetest kitties looking for their forever home.

When we say the shelter has absolutely no room, it doesn’t mean we don’t want to help your animal. It means we truly have no space. Please understand, it is never okay to leave animals behind, even if you think they’ll be safe.

We are incredibly grateful to ASAP of McComb, MS for stepping up to board these two sweet pups until their foster with Mississippi Animal Project is ready for them this weekend. We absolutely couldnt help these 2 sweet pups without them. Please support both of those wonderful groups!

We understand the desperation many people feel, but it’s important to remember: if you pick up animals from the side of the road, you take on the responsibility for their care. Sadly, by leaving these pups in a crate without food, water, or shelter, this gentleman put them at risk. Citations have been issued, and we sincerely hope he will make better choices in the future.

Brooklyn is full of life and has so much love to give!
She’s 6 months old, weighs 25 lbs, and has been living at the shelter for the past 3 months. Although she thinks we're pretty awesome, she dreams of the day her forever family comes along.

Brooklyn is a typical playful pup who would thrive in a home with space to run, plenty of toys, and maybe a friend or two to play with. She loves everyone she meets and is super smart — she’ll definitely benefit from some basic training.

She might be a bit too playful for small children, as she could accidentally knock them over while trying to play. She walks well on a leash, and we're currently working on crate training.

To set up an appointment to meet Brooklyn, please message our page or call us at 601-684-3602.
Please share and help us find her a home to call her own!
