Dixie Adoptables Dixie Adoptables is a non-profit animal rescue in south Mississippi saving lives every day.
(93)

Dixie Adoptables started very simply when Matthew and Jessica Roberts moved back home to Lucedale, MS and soon began finding stray animals. They were on the side of the road eating garbage and wandering up after being dumped. They couldn't turn a blind eye to their suffering, so they started taking them in, feeding them, and getting their medical problems taken care of. After realizing that more a

nd more kept coming in, they began learning to find homes for strays. They built fences, pens, and eventually a completely separate building for animals that they took in. They began working with local veterinarians and businesses to have adoption events and fundraisers. In 2007, realizing that they were going to be rescuing animals long-term, they began the difficult process of filing for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. In 2008, Dixie Adoptables was officially certified as a nonprofit charity organization. Since then Dixie Adoptables has continued to take in abandoned and stray animals and do everything we could to find them new loving homes. Over the years, we have actively sought out other animal rescuers in the community and created a foster program while building up a loyal volunteer staff who are as dedicated to saving animals and finding them new homes as we are. In October, 2016, at the request of the City of Lucedale, Dixie Adoptables took over operations at the Lucedale Animal Shelter. This has given us an opportunity to help more animals and have an even larger public impact. In 2018 Dixie Adoptables acquired a bus, retrofitted it to hold up to 35 kennels, and formed Dixie Express Rescue Transport. Working with partner rescues in the northeastern United States, we are now able to find wonderful homes for many more animals and transport them on Dixie Express. This has greatly increased our ability to save many more deserving animals. We continue to work hard to find new ways to help animals in our community and could not do it without the dedication and hard work of our volunteers and supporters.

Some of you have been asking about the other puppies we are bringing in. Another case of dumping and being left to a terrible end. But we will vet them and care for them and find them all loving homes.

We had a great photo session with our kittens. Check out their video!

We just took in a starving abandoned mama and her NINE, yes nine pups. As if that’s not enough, we are committed to taking in 13 more dumped puppies in dire need. We are in need of donations to take care of food and medical supplies for this little family and the ones to come and also for spay and neuter for each of the little ones before they can be adopted in a couple of months. If you can help please know that your donations are considered a charitable gift and we will put each dollar to work caring for these sweet souls.

Evon's Trailer Park is being bulldozed. There are a lot of cats being displaced. They may not have had families in the truest sense, but it was their home. For Pet's Sake Rescue is willing to work to save as many as possible. Dixie Adoptables has agreed to help them with this enormous situation. We left the Lucedale Animal Shelter last September, and since that time, trapping in the city has come to a stop. If enough money is raised, we also plan on working with For Pet's Sake Rescue to start trapping the feral colonies in the city. We can not make any of these things happen without donations. This is everyone's problem and we need everyone to step up and help. We all call this community home, and need to care about what happens to the most vulnerable in our area. For those not residing in our community, we thank you for caring about our animals in need. Link to Donate: https://bit.ly/SaveTheHomelessCats

This has given them an opportunity to help more animals and have an even larger public impact.

In 2018 Dixie Adoptables began working to start Dixie Express, their own pet transport service to help get adoptable animals to other areas of the country for adoption. Their first pet transport took place in July, 2019 when they transported over 40 dogs and puppies to Massachusetts to their new homes.

In 2019, Dixie Adoptables implemented a low cost spay-neuter program for low income county residents which allows them to spay or neuter their pets at a greatly reduced rate. Their commitment continues to be to the animals of George County, MS. They continue to work hard to find new ways to help them and find good, loving homes for animals who would otherwise have no hope. This could not be done without the dedication and hard work of their employees, partners, volunteers and supporters.
