Desoto County Animal Control

We are a little shelter run by Hernando City. Through spaying/neutering, vaccination, finding suitable homes for stray animals that come into our care, and the enforcement of animal protection legislation, we hope to enhance and safeguard the lives of animals in our city. We defend Hernando residents by upholding local and state regulations pertaining to animals. Making Hernando the most animal-friendly city in northern Mississippi is our main objective.

The adoption cost for the Southaven Animal Shelter is $20. Every critter up for adoption has had a 7-in-1 shot. A $35 extra veterinarian cost is charged if the animal has not been neutered or spayed.

Big River Animal Society's overarching goal is to preserve the lives of homeless animals, especially those who have been abandoned, mistreated, and are physically and mentally damaged, by providing emergency shelter, compassionate care, and rehabilitation in a secure setting.

We offer shelter and care for stray animals, place shelter animals in new homes, inform the public about how to properly care for animals, and promote spay/neuter to reduce the number of dogs and cats.

By offering a home, care, adoption options, and foster homes, we hope to change the tragic future of lost, unloved, and abandoned animals. By promoting spay/neuter and educating the people of our county about the kind and compassionate treatment of animals, we encourage responsible pet ownership.
