Helping Animals in Need leave their past behind
About us
Animal A.I.D. (Angels In Disguise) of Mississippi
- Dedicated
- Experienced
- Caring
Animal A.I.D. of Mississippi is an all-volunteer, foster-based dog rescue organization based in Pass Christian, Mississippi. While our roots are here on the coast, our rescue efforts assist dogs across the entire Mississippi Gulf Coast and into Central Mississippi.
Mission
Our mission is to provide abused, neglected, and abandoned dogs with the care, nurturing, and medical treatment they need so they can leave their past behind and begin a new life where they are loved and valued as members of a family.
Watching a dog once discarded blossom into a healthy, joyful companion is the heart of our work. Every rescue represents a second chance and a new beginning built on compassion and care.
Volunteers
Our caring and dedicated volunteers are the heart of Animal A.I.D. of Mississippi. They spend time getting to know each dog in our care while also learning about the families who hope to adopt them.
This thoughtful approach allows us to match every dog with a home where their personality, energy level, and needs align with the adopter’s lifestyle, helping ensure a lasting and successful placement.
Donations
When you donate to Animal A.I.D. of Mississippi, 100% of your contribution goes directly to the care and welfare of our dogs. As a fully volunteer-run organization, we operate without overhead expenses unrelated to the animals we serve.
Your generosity helps provide food, shelter, and medical treatment for dogs who need it most, giving them the chance to leave hardship behind and experience the safety and love of a forever home.
Success Stories
Eva – the red head as her daddy calls her – came to us when her owner sold her house and couldn’t take her when she moved. A very patient foster family, with three other rescues at the time, stepped forward and was determined to give her a great life, despite all her fears. At her old home, she never seemed to be part of the family and hid often, so often that the real estate investor who bought the house didn’t even know she existed for about a month before the house was officially purchased. Once she settled into her foster home, she started coming out of her shell, but even though she was making progress, she was still very timid. Despite being placed on a well-known adoption website, no interest was being shown. After being in her foster home for a few months, we had an opportunity to take her to an adoption even held by another rescue. When the foster family was approached about going, they decided that they just couldn’t give her up. She now lives her best life protecting her 2-acre yard from unwanted squirrels and greeting her favorite human sister with her pinwheel tail wag. She is pictured here with two of her rescue sisters, Queenie and Heather, a mother-daughter bonded pair that also landed the best foster failure family ever.
Scrappy was a shy little fellow with new people, so transporting him with volunteers up to his new home in Lexington, KY was out of the question. That wasn’t going to stop us from getting him to his new spoiled life though. His foster mom and the adopter met half way in Memphis, TN this weekend to give this sweet, handsome and adorable little boy his best transition yet.
Congratulations Scrappy-Doo!! We’ll miss you, but we know that you’ll be well taken care of by your new mommy and new friends.
Ref has landed the BEST home AND a big brother! He also has toys galore and will learn how to surf in the pool this summer.
Are you ready to adopt?
The process of acclimating a pet to your home can be made much easier by educating yourself and putting that knowledge into action. We’ll help you manage the transition for you and your new pet to help create a positive and happy environment – now and for many years to come.
