Hub City Humane Society
Our Mission
Our mission is to be the home for animal welfare in the Hub City. It is our mission to help the Hub City be more humane to all creatures. At Hub City Humane Society, we are dedicated to fostering a world where compassion knows no bounds. HCHS is more than a shelter. We take pride in rescuing and saving animals that otherwise would be forgotten and mistreated. We do this by being a limited admissions shelter that is able to save thousands of lives each year due to our managed intake procedure. We specialize in adoptions, caring for the mistreated and homeless pets in Hattiesburg, MS and surrounding areas and transport services that span across state lines. We have worked hard to be a no-kill shelter, meaning we maintain a 90% adoption/placement rate for animals in our care.
Adoption Policy
Dog/Puppy - We ask that all potential adopters come in person to our facility to fill out adoption paperwork and to meet the animal they are considering adopting. We would then call and confirm a vet reference on any dogs currently in the home to verify that they are up to date on vaccines, preventions, and are altered. Additionally we would require that any dogs currently in the home come to our facility to meet the adoptable animal. Finally, we confirm that if the potential adopter rents, that they are allowed to have a dog in their home as per their lease agreement. Cats/Kittens- The large majority of our available cats and kittens go to Petsmart/Petco for adoption. The paperwork would be completed at those facilities and the adoption fees would be paid there in cash. There are a few special needs kitties (declawed, bonded, medical cases) that are available for adoption here at the shelter. Finally, we have barn cats that are available at a reduced rate here at the shelter for adoption.
