Look who I ran into this week! 😍
Our Captain boy was getting checked out by the amazing staff at Camellia City Animal Hospital! He has been in foster getting lots of love and attention. Thanks to Mardi Paws , he is still getting wonderful care. They are truly his saving grace!

When we found Captain, he was one of six dogs abandoned by his owner when he moved away. Captain had a serious injury to his head and eye. Without medical care, it became severely infected and his life was in jeopardy. We jumped into action getting him to the vet but knew this was a expense we couldn't take on only. Thanks to Mardi Paws, he was able and is still getting the best treatment.

Captain sure hasn't let the fact that he had suffered such a cruel fate by the hands of a human affect his outlook on life. He is such a happy go lucky pup who just loves everyone he meets. We can't wait to see him with a family of his own. I like to think that he maybe recognized me a little when he saw me, but I am sure he is that happy to see everyone. Updates like this makes all the long hours and hard work worth it!
Video in comments showing how happy he truly is.

💖This Handsome fella goes by Tillman. Although he thinks we are some cool chicks, he would love to find a home to call his own. Hopefully with a couch he can stretch out on with lots of belly rubs.

Tillman is around 1 year old Pitbull mix, who was abandoned by his owner when he moved away. Although he looks big and bad, he truly loves everyone he meets. He can be dog-selective, especially with other male dogs. We would highly suggest a meet and greet if you have other dogs in home.
He had a rough start to life living on a chain, with little food, and being attacked by other dogs (we believe it was over food). But he hasnt allowed that to change his happy, go lucky, goofy personality. He just needs a second chance to find to find the home he deserves. Please help by sharing his story and we just know the right home is out there.
To make a appointment to meet Tillman call us at 601-684-3602 or come by the shelter at 125 Eaat Michigan Ave in McComb.

When we get a call about a stray, we rarely know what we're getting into. We always hope it's a friendly dog and it gets a second chance at life.
When we got a call about a Doberman running hwy 98, we were a little shocked. We got her and realized she was incredibly friendly, very social, and super well mannered. Someone had to be missing this baby. Surely someone would call to claim her quickly.
That was in April.
As time moved along and no one called in a panic missing her, we did what we do. We got her vetted and gave her all the love we possibly could. And then the first mass formed. Quite literally overnight. Off to the vet we went. Then it opened up. We were concerned but hopeful. The amazing staff at Nunnery Veterinary saw her immediately and decided they needed to open her up. After a week of waiting we got the news. Blastomycosis, a fungal infection. The prognosis wasn't good. It was an aggressive fungus and considering how quickly the masses were developing, the treatment plan was keep her comfortable for as long as her body was fighting.
After some searching, we found the perfect hospice foster for her. A family who could give her undivided attention and let her be a dog for hoever long was available.
And that's exactly what she's doing. Being a dog. A very spoiled dog.
The day she went to foster, ACO Parks took her for, possibly, her first ever pup cup, learned that she's a terrible co pilot because she wants to be THE pilot, and loves to stick her nose right into the AC vent. 10 stars for a trip with Stella.
Our jobs are, unfortunately, full of sad stories. But we refuse to let Stella's be a mark in the sad column. She isn't on the streets, sick and in pain. She didn't starve or have to fight for scraps.
Her story is one of love and devotion. She gave us, and is giving her fosters, all the love she's given. In her final time on this earth, all she will know is affection, safety (especially from her biggest fear, thunderstorms), and love. Oh and treats. All the treats.
We couldn't do what we do without all of you. But for a family to take on a hospice dog, knowing what's coming, well they deserve some extra love. Lizzy & Daniel Pierce are incredible humans. They opened their hearts and home to our Stella. They listened to the seemingly endless amount of information on medicine, things to look out for, and some insider info on our Stella girl. We don't know how much time she has left on this earth, but we do know that the Pierce family is going to make every single day the best day ever. We genuinely cannot thank them enough for the selfless act of opening their home and hearts to this girl.
And also a big thank you to everyone who donated to Stella's treatment. Because of you, we were able to get answers which led to knowing what we needed to do for her comfort and well being.
Forever our Stella girl 🐾

Update they could use some prayers, their little bodies are fighting a heavy load of hook worms. We currently still have them at the animal shelter giving them lots of extra TLC to help them pull through. If anyone would like to donate towards the cost of the medicine we had to get for them we would be forever grateful. The cost was $30, you can call in donation directly to Camellia City Animal Hospital at 601-684-6717. Or come by the animal shelter at 125 East Michigan Ave McComb, MS.
Thank you Christy for coming and fostering Mollie and Maddie, you are truly a life saver.

It has been no secret that our inn has been full for quite some time. But these small pups needed immediate rescue or they wouldn't have made it many more days. These poor babies were dumped in south McComb. Along with being emaciated from lack of food, they also had hundreds of fleas sucking all the life out of their small bodies.
They have been picked up but we are in desperate need of foster homes. We need 2 foster homes, who can take on 2 pups, for about 2-3 weeks while these pups regain their strength. All supplies (food, bowls, puppy pads, toys, and kennel) can be provided. If you cant foster please share and help us save them. If you can help with these sweet babies, please call us at 601-684-3602 or come by the Mccomb Animal Shelter at 125 east Michigan Ave in McComb.

Thank you Gina for sponsoring his adoption fee!

It sure is a bittersweet day. 🥹
Our Tito will be leaving this evening to start his journey to New York, where we just know he will find the perfect home.
💫We still need to raise $120 dollars to pay his adoption fee and the extra vetting he required to make this trip happen. If you would like to sponsor please call us at 601-684-3602 or come by the shelter at 125 East Michigan Ave in McComb.

Kahlua sure looks like she is giving him one last motherly talk, to make sure he behaves. It would have been great to see Kahlua get picked for transport too, please dont be sad for her. We know the right home will come along for her. Although she absolutely loves Tito, they will be able to find loving homes without each other.

How come this pretty girl hasn't been adopted yet?! 💗 Blakely is still waiting for her second chance to come along. She is one of the sweetest dogs you will meet.

We have been some busy bees lately but we are sharing some amazing news!
In the last week, we've had FIVE cats/kittens adopted!!
Winnie found her forever home Thursday with a super sweet little girl to call her own!
Friday rolled around and Taco got picked to be a surprise for another lucky little girl. Then Cappuccino's family drove over a hour to adopt her.
Then today, our sweet Button *and* April won the hearts of their new family! The family couldn't stand the thought if separating them so they adopted them both. 💕
We genuinely couldn't do this without all of you who lovingly open your hearts and homes to these sweet animals!
Come by the shelter at 125 E Michigan Ave to see all the others we have here!
And remember to share, share, share!!

🎶Just another Manic Monday 🎶
But we wanted to give a update on our 5 Heartworm treatment dogs. Laney, Tito, Kahlua, Sam and Miss Maple are almost at their 30day mark from injections. Everyone has been doing wonderful, really enjoying all the treats and chews they have received. We are so excited to report that 3 of the 5 have been accepted for transport and will be leaving soon to find their forever home.
💢Tito will leave Wednesday to start his journey to New York. We do need to raise $120 dollars to make this trip happen. The money will cover his adoption fee and all his vetting needed to make the trip possible. If you would like to help, please bring any donation down to the Mccomb Animal Shelter located at 125 East Michigan Ave McComb, just across the railroad tracks.

A few weeks ago we had a big need for kitten food to feed all the tiny tummies we had in the shelter and boy did y'all deliver! Within hours we had deliveries showing up.
From stressed to blessed.
These babies are thriving!! As soon as they are big enough, they'll be spayed/neutered and available!
We really can't thank everyone enough for all the support we get.
