The Tunica Humane Society desires
to improve the quality of life for all animals in Tunica County by aggressively pursuing a high quality, low cost spay-neuter
program. We are dedicated to saving the lives of all animals who are endangered, neglected, abandoned or abused.
It is our hearts desire to see Tunica become a "NO KILL" model community in a world where over 5 million dogs and
cats are destroyed every year simply because they are considered "disposable".

"The Animals' Savior" Jim Willis 1999
I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in
their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry. "God," I said,
"this is terrible! Why don't you do something? God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly.
"I have done something," He replied.... "I created you"
Most of our dogs have the same story....they
have been thrown away by an indifferent society. They have been picked up on county roads where they were left to fend
for themselves, they have been dropped off in someone's drive-way, they have been found scrounging for food in fields, or
they have been turned over to us because the owners just didn't want them or couldn't afford them. We take them in, love them
and feed them. We give them any medical attention needed...shots, spay or neuter....and we try very hard
to find them forever homes with a loving family.

NOTE TO ADOPTERS: "Lassie, Cleo, Rin Tin Tin, and Toto don't show up in a rescue shelter.
We don't get the elegantly coiffed, classically beautiful, completely trained, or perfectly behaved dog or cat.
We get leftovers. Animals that other people have incompetently bred, inadequately
socialized, ineffectively "trained" and badly treated. Most rescue dogs and cats have had it. They've
been pushed from one lousy situation to another. They've lived outside..in a crate, or in the basement. They're
scared, depressed, and anxious. Some are angry. Some are sick. Some have given up. But the Tunica Humane Society will not give up. We will never give up on an
animal. We know that they are living beings, with a spirit, a heart, and feelings. Our animals are not commodities,
things, or garbage. They are part of sacred creation and they deserve as much love and care and respect as the next
Westminister champion. So...please, please don't come to rescue a dog or cat in the hopes of getting a "bargain"
or indeed of "getting" anything. Come to the shelter to give, to love, and to save a life and to mend
your own spirit. For rescue will reward you in ways you never thought possible. We can promise you this...a rescue
dog or cat will make you a better person." UNKNOWN

At the Tunica Humane Society, our goal is to do the best
adoption possible...matching you with a pet that will become a lifelong member of your family. To ensure the best possible
match between adopter and pet, we ask that you read and understand the information provided regarding our adoption policies
and procedures. You will be asked to sign a legal contract when adopting your pet and you must pay an adoption fee/donation.
The fees go directly to our rescue group to help us save more animals. Thank you for opening your heart and considering adopting a
shelter dog. By making this commitment, you have not only found a friend for life...you have saved a life. If at any
time you cannot keep the dog, you MUST return it to the Tunica Humane Society and not to another individual or shelter.
