Misfits & Underdogs Misfits & Underdogs is a village of big-hearted rescuers in South Mississippi fighting for the discarded, the overlooked, and the underdogs (& kitties too).

We believe every underdog deserves a place to call home. 💙🐾 We are a 501c3 registered charity.

**UPDATE: Dog bed donated! Thanks Michael!

Nya is in a foster home! 🎉 The meet and greet went well. We think she’ll settle in fine. She was better with the young pup than the older one her size. But we are hopeful that given some time they’ll work it out. She seems very happy to finally be in the A/C and loves the cool kitchen tile. 🥰

If anyone wants to donate a large orthopedic doggy bed it would be much appreciated! 💗 We’ve added one to our Amazon wishlist that would be perfect for her. If you have Prime it’s on sale. 🙌

**FOSTER PENDING!**

🚨 URGENT: Foster needed by Thursday! 🚨🐾

We are officially down to the wire trying to find Precious a foster home — and if we can’t find placement by Thursday night, we will have no choice but to send this sweet girl to boarding. 💔

Precious is only around 5 months old, but this tiny survivor has already overcome more than most animals ever should. She survived a brutal dog attack AND panleukopenia, and somehow through it all she has remained one of the sweetest, most loving little cats imaginable. 🥺💜

Because of the trauma she endured, Precious absolutely MUST go to a dog-free home. Even friendly dogs are not an option. After being shaken so severely that she was left paralyzed for a week, we never want her to experience even a second of that fear again.

The good news? She can now safely live with other vaccinated cats! 🐱✨

Precious deserves a soft place to land after everything she’s survived. Please help us keep this baby out of boarding and into a loving foster home where she can finally feel safe.

Fosters can be within about an hour of Gulfport, MS. Apply to foster here: www.bit.ly/mu-foster-cat Please SHARE! 🙏

Our old girl “Nya” had her vet visit today, and here’s the skinny on miss skinny… 🐾💜

As expected, she is heartworm positive and a bit anemic, but otherwise her bloodwork looked pretty good. Her lungs aren’t great, and X-rays revealed an old pellet from being shot. 😞💔 Despite everything, she is still the sweetest girl.

We’re still pulling fleas off of her, but now it’s only a few dozen instead of the 3,000. She got another round of flea meds today, so hopefully that finishes the job. Her ears were packed with dirt, her nails are finally clipped, and she doesn’t have many teeth left. 🥺 The tumor appears mostly fatty and doesn’t seem attached to anything. The vet thinks it can be removed once she gains some weight. She’s an underweight 53.5lbs today.

Nya met lots of new friends today and did wonderful with everyone. 🐶🐈💕 She has a foster pending once the fleas are fully gone, and if things go well with their two dogs, we’ll try that tomorrow. For now this tired old gal just wants a long nap. 😴 She was rewarded after the vet visit with Chick-fil-A nuggets. 🍗😂

She is such a precious pup and clearly grateful to finally be safe. 💜🐾

🚨 We closed intake TWO days ago because we are completely over capacity… and the requests keep coming... 🚨 Every single day we are getting messages, calls, or finding animals ourselves. We are drowning. 💔🐾

And now this sweet old girl.

One of our volunteers spent 1.5 HOURS tracking her today. She was finally able to slow her down long enough to get a leash on her. She is safe… but now what? 😞

We are FULL. But she is NOT going to the shelter. Her microchip leads nowhere. She’s almost 12 years old, covered in what looks like 3,000 ticks, and has a large tumor on her hip. Despite all of that, she’s gentle and seems to do well with other animals so far. 🐶

We desperately need a foster while we figure out a plan for her. Even a temporary place to land would help tremendously. Please, if you can open your home to this senior girl, apply here: www.bit.ly/mu-foster

We cannot keep operating in crisis mode without help. Fosters are the only reason we are able to keep saying yes when every part of us knows we are already stretched too thin. 🙏

Meet Shadow! 🖤🐾

This sweet Rottie mix lost her home after her owner passed away, but she’s handled every change with so much grace and love. ❤️ At 8 years old and 58 lbs Shadow is the perfect pup for someone looking for an older, more mature pup to join their family.

Shadow is housebroken, kennel trained if needed, rides great in the car, does well with dogs of all sizes, and is good with kids. She’s currently living with cats but would probably prefer a kitty-free home. Her favorite thing? Following her people around like the little “Shadow” she is. 🥹

She loves cozy beds, calm companionship, and just being near her humans. She can be a little jealous when it comes to sharing bed space with your husband though, so you may want to make other arrangements for one of them... 😂

Shadow still has so much love left to give and deserves a soft, safe forever home for her golden years. ✨ Let's not keep this girl waiting! Please SHARE our post so we can find her the loving family she deserves!

Meet Peanut! 🌰🐾

This chunky little Chihuahua gentleman is estimated to be around 6–8 years old and weighs in at a cuddly 12.5 lbs. ❤️ Peanut loves soft blankets, tasty snacks, cozy naps, and sticking close to his favorite person like a tiny shadow.

Sadly Peanut lost his home when his owner became too ill to care for him. Even with his whole world changing, he’s remained a sweet, loving little guy who just wants a calm home and someone to adore him forever. 🥺

He gets along well with other dogs and would love a relaxed home where he can settle in at his own pace. Peanut may need a little time to adjust, but once you’re his person… you’re HIS person. 💕

Apply to adopt Peanut at www.bit.ly/mu-adopt 🐶 He is being fostered in Moss Point, MS and transport is available to many neighboring and northern states. 🚐✨ Please share!

🐾💜 Jolly Update! 💜🐾

Thank you all so much for giving towards Jolly’s amputation. This little girl is an absolute trooper. While things didn’t go the way we had hoped, we are still celebrating her rescue journey every step of the way.

Jolly has already overcome so much at such a young age, and we know this is just one chapter in what will be a long, happy, loved life. Three legs won’t slow her down one bit. 🐶✨

Your support, prayers, donations, and encouragement mean the world to us and to Jolly. Thank you for helping us give her the future she deserves. 💕

💔 Jolly Update 💔

This is not the update we hoped to share. Despite everyone’s prayers and care, Jolly’s leg is unfortunately not healing the way we hoped, and she will need an amputation. ❤️‍🩹

Our hearts are heavy for this sweet girl after all she has already endured, but we are going to stand by her every step of the way — even as those steps move forward on three legs. 🥺 Dogs are resilient, and we know Jolly still has a happy future ahead of her.

Her surgery will cost over $400, and this is another unexpected medical expense we were not planning. If you would like to help support Jolly’s surgery and recovery, we would be incredibly grateful. Donations can be sent through Facebook or:

Please keep our brave girl in your prayers as she begins this next chapter. 🐶✨

Our fur kids cleaned up nicely...thanks to Goochie Poochie in Bay St Louis! 💜🐾🛁🫧🧼🪻Shout out to Foster Mom Judee English Matthews and Groomer Laura Lee Peterson for making CLEO & TY look their very best! 🤩 We appreciate Laura sharing these awesome dogs as well!

Both Ty & Cleo are available for adoption via our link www.bit.ly/mu-adopt ☺️ Their profiles with multiple photos/videos may be found on our page or on Petfinder (link is located on our main page). They are fantastic dogs, and while they may be different breeds with different personalities, what they share in common is their GREAT love of people! 🥰 They live to please the humans in their lives and form deep social bonds very easily. If you’re looking for that once-in-a-lifetime, "ride or die" kinda companion, then look no further...Cleo or Ty (or both!! ☺️) will be your loyal, loving BFF(s)!!
