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.
Our experience was truly memorable from start to finish. Everyone was incredibly helpful from the initial call to our first visit and pickup day. The facilities were clean and everyone was very professional. Our new girl has already stolen our hearts, and we’re excited to watch her grow with our family.
We adopted ginger in 2011. She is still certified service dog since 2012. Our loving part of the family to this day! Attached is a picture of her, Sophia the cat she rescued, 4 years ago, and Daisy our newest service trainee! Thank you so much for saving her for us.

Got a dog from here very recent and they said he was healthy. When I finally got home with the dog he clearly wasn't. He's husky mix. Weighted at 32 pounds, had worms, tons of fleas and he couldn't walk on one of his paws. Right before I adopted him they said I could bring him back and get a full refund of my money. That was a lie as well. I'm now taking care of a sick dog but he is still a good dog. I would highly recommend steering clear of this place!!!
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.
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.
The love and care these animals receive on a daily basis is just wonderful! The staff is gentle, informative, non judging, but most of all loving.
