Midsouth Animal Welfare Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit rescue in rural Mississippi with dedicated volunteers whose mission is to save dogs that are abandoned; dogs given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances or those in danger of abuse or animal neglect. 

Our rescue is 100% volunteer driven, and all funds are used for vaccines, spay/neuter services or medical care. Dogs are microchipped and spayed and neutered prior to going to the coordinated rescue partners or adopters. 

We assist dogs in distress and actively seek to reduce the rate of euthanasia, support proactive spay/neuter practices and rehabilitate these dogs, in preparation for their permanent adoptive homes.

Midsouth Animal Welfare Foundation transports dogs to rescue regions of the U.S. where they have a much greater chance of finding homes. These rescue partners offer more resources and a high demand for adoption. Relocation is an effective and critical tool to prevent needless euthanasia of adoptable pets. Our successful and effective relocation partnerships have improved animal welfare, saving more animals’ lives. In 2024 we transported and saved 505 dogs and 24 dogs and  cats. In 2023 we saved 660 dogs and 17 cats.
