Description Southern Pines Animal Shelter’s mission is to nurture the bond between people and pets through community, compassion, and collaboration, and a vision to forge a path toward sustainable, responsible, and community-driven lifesaving. Founded in 1952, the organization operates a no-kill Shelter in Hattiesburg, MS that cares for more than 4,000 pets in need each year and works to find them loving outcomes through reunification, adoption, and a thriving EMBARK Transport Program. The organization also operates the Second Chance Thrift Shop with locations in Hattiesburg and Oak Grove where all proceeds help pets in need, and a Healthy Pet Clinic whose mission is to make vital veterinary services affordable and accessible to community pets.

The information on the internet is extremely misleading. The hours are correct but NOWHERE does it mention you have to have an appointment to give them animals. No idea about appointment for adoption. The information also says they’ll take ANY AGE animal. Again, not true. The lady at the counter was nice enough but told me I had to have an appointment to leave my 9 kittens (along with a $450 donation). The appointment coordinator said they wouldn’t take kittens under 8 weeks, which mine were not, even though the info online said” any age.” This person was very unconcerned that three other rescue organizations had recommended them and didn’t tell me I needed an appointment. This person told me to keep the kittens in my 18 x 24 in cage and bring them back in three weeks. The kittens and I drove an hour back home, with the donation, and they were released.

I am just now writing this review even though it’s been years. I adopted a sweet kitten in 2020 from here. They advised me that he was on a certain fiber based medication to help his stools return to normal. I said okay, purchased the medication from them and went on my way. I took him home and found that he basically had absolutely no control of his bowels. They let me take home a very very sick kitten. We did everything we could to take care of him and tried to get many vets to help fix what was going on with him. He lived for a few months after adoption. However he ended up passing away leaving us heartbroken. Southern pines will not hesitate to let a sick animal leave their facility. They need to make sure that furbabies are healthy before leaving with pet parents. I won’t be getting any more animals from them for sure.

I rescued a dog in the middle of I-59 and brought it to this place as it was closest. They refused to take the dog unless I paid a fee to drop it off. I got the impression they would have rather I left the dog in the middle of the interstate. No one there including the manager cared at all about the dog. I eventually got her back to her owner, but I don't even live in that state and was driving through while working. I guess things work differently in Ms.

We just had to send our doggo baby of 11 years across the Rainbow Bridge last week. Since she was a rescue, we knew she would want us to give another unwanted dog the same life she had, so we immediately reached out to Southern Pines and they were so helpful. We went and met "Bast", but I've renamed him 'Vader' lol. They handled everything. All of his shots, wormer, tests, and neutered and chipped. We pick him up tomorrow ❤️. He was able to meet our other baby outside in a secure area. PLEASE adopt, NEVER shop.

We fostered and later adopted a dog through SPAS and had a great experience. They genuinely care about their animals and have devoted staff.

I called to surrender an aggressive animal that they adopted out and the person in the phone was extremely rude. First she wanted to ask if I “knew what a aggressive animal is” because she didn’t think I knew when I was talking about which is funny to me since I have multiple scars and open flesh wounds from this animal. She then tried to guilt me into paying the surrender fee even though it was not required since we were returning her in the time frame. If you’re going to try and guilt someone for returning an animal that you labeled as friendly that ended up attacking two people bad enough to get infected and have to be put on antibiotics, then you are in the wrong not them. Edit: Are you actually kidding me? You charge high adoption fees ranging from $200 to $500 for your “desirable animals.” You are contributing to the issue of overcrowding. It's unfair to complain that no one wants to adopt when your exorbitant prices are on par with what some purebred dogs cost. Your actions scream money grab, showing little concern for finding suitable homes for these animals.
