Jackson County Animal Shelter
Our Mission
At the Jackson County Animal Shelter, we are dedicated to providing compassionate care for animals in our community and finding them the loving homes they deserve. Our team works tirelessly to support the health and well-being of every pet that comes through our doors, serving as a hub of hope and transition for local animals.
Serving Our Community
Located in Gautier, our facility serves as a vital resource for Jackson County, addressing the needs of stray and unwanted animals. We are committed to maintaining a safe environment and promoting responsible pet ownership through essential services like microchipping, spaying, and neutering to help manage pet over-population in our region.
Our Care Model
We operate a facility focused on the day-to-day care, medical assessment, and enrichment of our animals. Every animal in our care receives foundational support, including initial vaccinations and preventative worming, to ensure they are healthy and ready for their next chapter. We believe in providing a humane, sanitary, and nurturing environment while our animals wait to meet their forever families.
Your Partner in Adoption
Adopting from our shelter is a joyful way to change a life forever. Our $50 adoption fee is designed to be accessible, and it includes a free health exam, vaccinations, and spaying or neutering, making the transition for your new companion as seamless as possible. We are here to help you find a pet that fits your lifestyle, ensuring a lasting and rewarding partnership for years to come.
