Caring Together, Growing Better

Imagine a rescue that pulls pets from kill shelters, abusive environments, and neglect. Imagine these pets getting the care and love they need to thrive. Imagine also that these pets get to meet their fully-vetted adopters and go to their new, safe, loving, and happy home. Now, welcome to Southern Dog Mission.

A supportive experience that turns caring into community

At Southern Dog Mission, we work hard to take pets out of a harmful, hostile environment, get them the care and treatment they may need, and place them with fully-vetted adopters in their “furever” homes.

Veterinary Care

We ensure your future pet’s well-being and provide them with the care and prevention they need to recover and thrive.

Loving Fosters

Our fosters are avid dog-lovers who provide the love and tenderness a rescued animal needs.

Decompression

Rescued animals need time to decompress after rescue. We give them the chance to wind down and learn that they are no longer in an abusive or harmful environment.

Pet Transport

Sometimes our adopters are located outside our area and dogs need to be transported. Some fosters do this, and we have a network of transportation specialists to help.

I just adopted a puppy from them. I’m extremely impressed with how thoroughly they check out applications, to make sure their dogs, puppies are going to a good home, where they will be safe and loved💗 I wish I could adopt more💗
