Our Achievements So Far:

Less Than 3% Euthanasia Rate
We work tirelessly to ensure that every animal entering our shelter has the best chance at a healthy, happy life.

Healthy Paws Clarksdale
We’re proud to have launched our pilot location for accessible, affordable veterinary care—bringing vital services to pet families across the region.

Feeding Our Neighbors
Through our local pantry program, we provide free pet food twice a month to hundreds of nearby residents, helping ensure no pet goes hungry.

Over 5,000 Animals Rescued
From dogs to cats, we’ve adopted out or transported more than 5,000 animals—337 of them in 2023 alone—giving them a fresh start in loving homes.

Partnering for Greater Impact
We’re 1 of just 2 ASPCA partner shelters in Mississippi, the only CHEWY partner in the state

Spay & Neuter Milestones
Every adopted animal at our shelter is spayed or neutered, and we’ve also provided these crucial services to more than 3,000 community animals, helping reduce overpopulation.

Fueling Our Mission
Thanks to generous supporters and grants totaling over $411,000 (as of January 2025), we’re able to expand our programs and reach more pets in need.

A Bigger & Better Home
In 2017, we moved into a building 14 times larger than our original space—making room for more comfortable housing, better medical care, and new community initiatives.

Empowering Our Community’s Youth
By partnering with inner-city youth groups and local schools, we’re fostering empathy and responsibility in the next generation of animal advocates.

Enriched Environments for Cats
Our free-roaming cat spaces have boosted adoptions and enhanced daily life for our feline residents—because every purr deserves a purr-fect place to call home.
