notes: The Humane Society of South Mississippi was overwhelmed by the enormous impact of Hurricane Katrina, and our shelter experienced complete devastation. Four feet of water flooded our old facility, and all equipment, supplies, and records were lost. Katrina?s impact was simply far more destructive than anyone anticipated, and our future looked grim. Thanks to the support of countless organizations and volunteers, our Humane Society been able to not only recover from Hurricane Katrina, but thrive in our community in a way never before possible. Generous financial support from across the country made it possible for us to complete the construction of our new 41,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility in March of 2006. The community response to this building has been immense. The Humane Society is now recognized as a community beacon of opportunity thanks to our positive, energetic partnership with the pets and people of South Mississippi. Community interest and involvement has soared, demonstrating the effect that a new building in a prime location can make. Our Humane Society was overjoyed in January to learn that we are one of the targeted communities for ASPCA Mission: Orange: a focused effort to create a nation of humane communities, one community at a time. The ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) will focus a large portion of its resources to aid animal welfare efforts and education in the Gulfport / Biloxi community over the next three years. ASPCA? Mission: Orange? partners include MS SPAN, City of Gulfport Police Department Animal Control, City of Biloxi Police Department Animal Control, Harrison County Sheriff?s Department Animal Control, and the Humane Society of South Mississippi. Working closely with the ASPCA and its partner organizations, the Humane Society has three major initiatives for achieving its goal of becoming a humane community over the next five years: - Increasing and enhancing adoptions; - Increasing spay/neuter efforts; and - Transporting excess adoptable animals to other shelters. The ASPCA has long been active in central and southern Mississippi with programs such as the Big Fix Rig, a 53-foot trailer fitted as a mobile spay/neuter clinic designed to accommodate 120-plus feline sterilizations per day. Now, ASPCA? Mission: Orange? will give Mississippi?s rebuilding efforts not just a shot in the arm, but make Harrison County one of the leaders in the creation of humane communities nationwide. We are thrilled to embark on this opportunity for growth and increased effectiveness in our community! As a result of these exciting activities, the Humane Society is going through tremendous growth and transformation. We are working every day to become an organization that our entire community can be proud of. During the three months between May and July 2007, adoptions at the Humane Society increased by 11 percent (from 1,199 to 1,330), while transfers to other shelters (due to overcrowding) were down 36 percent compared to the same period last year (from 548 to 353). Also of note is the news that we have returned 24% more lost animals to their owners during these three months (from 219 to 271), and surgeries at our high-volume spay/neuter clinic are up 78 percent from '06 (from 1,274 to 2,266). Our clinic also recently completed its largest ever ?Urban Transport.? Every Tuesday we work with concerned citizens in Pearl River County, MS, to transport animals in and back in one day for spay/neuter surgeries. We broke our record this summer by successfully spaying and neutering 31 animals in one day, in addition to our regularly scheduled spay/neuter clients. We are excited to be able to work with our neighboring shelters to share the success of our high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinic. With hurricane season in full swing, the Humane Society has completed a detailed Disaster Plan for the animals at our facility and for the companion animals who live with the families of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. As we all know, there were many South Mississippi residents who died, or almost died, in Hurricane Katrina because they could not evacuate with their pets and they didn?t want to leave them behind. We have worked to put in place the coast?s first pet-friendly evacuation shelter, and coordinated an evacuation procedure for the coast?s pets with our county authorities. The Humane Society has also hired a Humane Education Manager, a position designed to promote understanding of and improvement in animal welfare issues throughout the Gulf Coast area. This summer, Dr. Christine Harris led the Humane Society?s first two Paws & Claws Camps ? camps designed to educate young South Mississippians about pet overpopulation, animal cruelty, proper pet care, emergency preparedness, the role of the Humane Society in the community, and other crucial aspects of animal welfare. The Humane Society held the first graduation of a Delta Society registered Pet Therapy class in July. The Delta Society is the leading international organization which studies the quality of the relationships between pet owners, pets, and care givers, and develops standards-based training materials. The Humane Society?s 11 new Pet Partners will now visit Gulf Coast hospitals, nursing homes, and classrooms to rehabilitate, comfort, and encourage participants. The Humane Society of the United States will be holding a press conference and reception at our Humane Society on October 10th to formally announce the Humane Society?s participation in the Gulf Coast Pet Research Project. This project will help animal shelters in Mississippi and Louisiana to gather statistics over the next several years. These statistics will be used to help formulate a social marketing spay/neuter campaign for our region. HSUS leaders will be presenting checks to our regional shelters to help fund this effort, including a $20,000 check to our Humane Society. We look forward to hosting this important event. Although Katrina was devastating, the Humane Society of South Mississippi has thrived in her aftermath thanks to the spirit of the people in our community and the outpouring of generosity from volunteers and organizations across the country. We are proud of the impact we are making, and we enjoy inspiring others with our story. ---------------------------------------- We are a non-profit organization chartered in 1952 The HSSM is now located at the corner of Hwy 49 and 27th Street, just one block north of Pass Rd. as of March 2006 Hours of Operation: Adoptions: Sunday-Saturday from 10:00a.m.-5:30p.m. Pet Surrender/Lost & Found: Sunday-Saturday from 10:00a.m.-5:30p.m. Clinic: Monday-Friday from 7:30a.m.-5:30p.m. Thrift Shop: Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00a.m.-5:30p.m. For Shelter: (228)863-3354 You can also purchase a gift card at the above stores and we can go purchase the items needed.

The Delta Society is the leading international organization which studies the quality of the relationships between pet owners, pets, and care givers, and develops standards-based training materials. The Humane Society’s 11 new Pet Partners will now visit Gulf Coast hospitals, nursing homes, and classrooms to rehabilitate, comfort, and encourage participants. The Humane Society of the United States will be holding a press conference and reception at our Humane Society on October 10th to formally announce the Humane Society’s participation in the Gulf Coast Pet Research Project. This project will help animal shelters in Mississippi and Louisiana to gather statistics over the next several years. These statistics will be used to help formulate a social marketing spay/neuter campaign for our region. HSUS leaders will be presenting checks to our regional shelters to help fund this effort, including a $20,000 check to our Humane Society. We look forward to hosting this important event. Although Katrina was devastating, the Humane Society of South Mississippi has thrived in her aftermath thanks to the spirit of the people in our community and the outpouring of generosity from volunteers and organizations across the country. We are proud of the impact we are making, and we enjoy inspiring others with our story. ---------------------------------------- We are a non-profit organization chartered in 1952 The HSSM is now located at the corner of Hwy 49 and 27th Street, just one block north of Pass Rd. as of March 2006 Hours of Operation: Adoptions: Sunday-Saturday from 10:00a.m.-5:30p.m. Pet Surrender/Lost & Found: Sunday-Saturday from 10:00a.m.-5:30p.m. Clinic: Monday-Friday from 7:30a.m.-5:30p.m. Thrift Shop: Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00a.m.-5:30p.m. For Shelter: (228)863-3354 You can also purchase a gift card at the above stores and we can go purchase the items needed.

Four feet of water flooded our old facility, and all equipment, supplies, and records were lost. Katrina?s impact was simply far more destructive than anyone anticipated, and our future looked grim. Thanks to the support of countless organizations and volunteers, our Humane Society been able to not only recover from Hurricane Katrina, but thrive in our community in a way never before possible. Generous financial support from across the country made it possible for us to complete the construction of our new 41,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility in March of 2006. The community response to this building has been immense. The Humane Society is now recognized as a community beacon of opportunity thanks to our positive, energetic partnership with the pets and people of South Mississippi. Community interest and involvement has soared, demonstrating the effect that a new building in a prime location can make. Our Humane Society was overjoyed in January to learn that we are one of the targeted communities for ASPCA ? Mission: Orange? : a focused effort to create a nation of humane communities, one community at a time. The ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) will focus a large portion of its resources to aid animal welfare efforts and education in the Gulfport / Biloxi community over the next three years. ASPCA? Mission: Orange? partners include MS SPAN, City of Gulfport Police Department Animal Control, City of Biloxi Police Department Animal Control, Harrison County Sheriff?s Department Animal Control, and the Humane Society of South Mississippi. Working closely with the ASPCA and its partner organizations, the Humane Society has three major initiatives for achieving its goal of becoming a humane community over the next five years: - Increasing and enhancing adoptions; - Increasing spay/neuter efforts; and - Transporting excess adoptable animals to other shelters. The ASPCA has long been active in central and southern Mississippi with programs such as the Big Fix Rig, a 53-foot trailer fitted as a mobile spay/neuter clinic designed to accommodate 120-plus feline sterilizations per day. Now, ASPCA? Mission: Orange? will give Mississippi?s rebuilding efforts not just a shot in the arm, but make Harrison County one of the leaders in the creation of humane communities nationwide. We are thrilled to embark on this opportunity for growth and increased effectiveness in our community! As a result of these exciting activities, the Humane Society is going through tremendous growth and transformation. We are working every day to become an organization that our entire community can be proud of. During the three months between May and July 2007, adoptions at the Humane Society increased by 11 percent (from 1,199 to 1,330), while transfers to other shelters (due to overcrowding) were down 36 percent compared to the same period last year (from 548 to 353). Also of note is the news that we have returned 24% more lost animals to their owners during these three months (from 219 to 271), and surgeries at our high-volume spay/neuter clinic are up 78 percent from ?06 (from 1,274 to 2,266). Our clinic also recently completed its largest ever ?Urban Transport.? Every Tuesday we work with concerned citizens in Pearl River County, MS, to transport animals in and back in one day for spay/neuter surgeries. We broke our record this summer by successfully spaying and neutering 31 animals in one day, in addition to our regularly scheduled spay/neuter clients. We are excited to be able to work with our neighboring shelters to share the success of our high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinic. With hurricane season in full swing, the Humane Society has completed a detailed Disaster Plan for the animals at our facility and for the companion animals who live with the families of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. As we all know, there were many South Mississippi residents who died, or almost died, in Hurricane Katrina because they could not evacuate with their pets and they didn?t want to leave them behind. We have worked to put in place the coast?s first pet-friendly evacuation shelter, and coordinated an evacuation procedure for the coast?s pets with our county authorities. The Humane Society has also hired a Humane Education Manager, a position designed to promote understanding of and improvement in animal welfare issues throughout the Gulf Coast area.
