East Mississippi Animal Rescue

Welcome to the home of the East Mississippi Animal Rescue, located in Meridian, Mississippi. Our all-volunteer organization is funded by private donations only and is a 501(c)(3) status non-profit organization. East Mississippi Animal Rescue is not a shelter with visiting hours; animals are housed at the homes of volunteers. Rescue expenses are funded by donations and adoption fees. The East Missisisippi Animal Rescue sponsors a number of dogs and cats that we feel are highly adoptable. These pets are vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed or neutered for a low fee. Our motto: Don't shop, ADOPT!

Our Pets

The animals we receive are taken in because of a special situation (owner going to nursing home, small dog that would be traumatized by a shelter environment, animal needs medical assistance, etc.) Our adoption fees for cats are a $50 donation and most dogs are $75 and up. This fee covers current vaccinations and the spay/neuter of the animal. ALL cats and dogs are neutered, age permitting. If the animal adopted is too young, following up on that is a must.
