Hancock County Animal Shelter
Our Mission
The Hancock County Animal Shelter is dedicated to promoting responsible pet ownership, protecting the health and safety of our residents, and ensuring the humane treatment of all animals in our care. We strive to provide a safe, temporary home for stray, unwanted, or homeless animals while vigorously working to find them loving families.
Serving Our Community
We proudly serve the entire Hancock County area, including the cities of Bay St. Louis, Diamondhead, and Waveland. Our facility acts as a vital resource for our region, where we operate on a professional level with the guidance of a licensed veterinarian to ensure every animal receives proper health screenings and vaccinations.
How We Care
Our shelter operations are supported by a dedicated team and an essential foster network that helps us provide a comfortable environment for animals waiting for their forever homes. Every animal in our care receives mandatory spay or neuter services to ensure they are ready for a healthy life with you. From daily socialization and walks to specialized veterinary attention, we work hard to keep our shelter pets happy and healthy.
Your New Best Friend
Adopting is a wonderful way to save an innocent life and gain a loyal, loving companion. We have animals of all breeds, sizes, and colors, each waiting for a second chance to show your family the unconditional love they have to give. When you adopt from us, you are not just getting a pet; you are starting a joyful, lifelong partnership.
