City of Hernando Animal Shelter

City of Hernando Animal Shelter We are a small shelter operated by the City of Hernando. We also protect the citizens of Hernando by enforcing animal related state laws and city ordinances.

Our goal is to improve and protect the lives of animals in our city by spaying/neutering, vaccinating, finding responsible homes for the strays who come into our care, and by enforcing animal protection laws. Our primary goal is to make Hernando the most animal friendly City in northern Mississippi.

Meet Debo, he is 11 1/2 years old and our oldest senior. However, don’t let the senior number fool you, once he hears walk or senses adventure, that puppy-like spark lights up and he is ready to go! He is the sweet charm of a senior dog with a young spirit. Give him a home, and he will give you every ounce of love he has!

These puppies need to be adopted. It's unfair for them to grow up in a shelter setting. Please consider adopting one.

🐾❤️A Heartfelt Thank You from the Hernando Animal Shelter ❤️🐾

We’d like to take this moment to send a Huge Shout Out and Thank You to the Hyfa Cheer Squad for their generous donation and support for our amazing fur babies at the shelter. This sweet group of girls, who are 5-6 years old, worked on a community service project teaching them the importance of being kind and giving. ❤️🐾

Your kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated and we know the sweet fur babies will enjoy all of the treats, toys and food. From the staff here at the Hernando Shelter, we hope you have a Wonderfully Blessed Day Day!
