The mission of MidSouth Animal Rescue League, as a network of individuals and rescue organizations, is to improve the plight of homeless animals dying in local shelters by providing rescue, shelter, medical care, adoption services, and foster homes. To assist other agencies in investigating incidents of animal cruelty, abandonment, and neglect. To reduce pet overpopulation by advocating spay/neuter programs. To reduce the number of homeless animals entering MidSouth shelters by promoting responsible pet ownership, permanent identification, and the humane and compassionate treatment of all animals.
Potential adopters are asked to complete an application and sign an Adoption Agreement. The application will ask for information such as personal info, personal and veterinarian references, and have basic questions which will help us to determine which pet will fit best into your home and family. We are looking for homes that understand that adopting a pet is a 10 to 15 year commitment to love and care for the animal and its needs. Our adoption fee is $100.00 for dogs, unless noted otherwise. The adoption fee may vary depending on the posted pet's shelter. In addition to completing the application, potential adopters must have an interview with an adoption counselor, and a home visit with the pet. A fenced in yard is required, unless otherwise noted by the pet's rescue organizations if not MARL, or fence requirement is waived by referral. All animals have had vaccinations, been spayed or neuter, heartworm tested and are currently on heartworm prevention, and are microchipped. All dogs are kept in foster homes, inside, and are kennel trained.
