Our OrganizationHappy Healthy Pet Adoption, Inc. (HHPA) is a
no-kill animal shelter located in Bay Springs, Mississippi. We accept
both dogs and cats. HHPA was founded in 2003 by Tom Waggener, Carl and
Jeannie Odom, and Gina Dixon assisted by Dr. Danielle Garrison. These
citizens were concerned with the number and condition of stray dogs and
cats in the Bay Springs area. In the past year alone, HHPA has rescued
and placed in homes over 175 dogs and cats. To help address the problem
of homeless and unwanted animals, HHPA follows a strict policy that all
adoptions are spayed or neutered as well as fully vaccinated before
going to their “forever home”. HHPA is a “no kill” shelter, meaning that
dogs and cats accepted into the shelter are not routinely euthanized.
Only the small percentage of dogs and cats with very severe or incurable
medical conditions or extreme behavioral problems beyond their ability
to address are humanely euthanized. Most—well over 90%— are vaccinated,
their medical conditions are treated, they are spayed or neutered, and
prepared for adoption in permanent homes. In many cases, this
preparation includes working with a dog or cat who has had little or no
human contact and needs to be socialized before a successful adoption
can take place. DetailsHHPA is a 501©(3) corporation, and all
contributions are tax deductible. HHPA is a completely independent
non-profit animal shelter and are operated by a volunteer Board of
Directors. All board members work as volunteers for the shelter in
various ways. The board members are Tom Waggener, President; Gina Dixon,
Vice-President and Shelter Manager; Carl Odom, Treasurer; Bo Dixon; and
Jeannie Odom. The shelter is maintained by private donations. If you
know of any individual or organization interested in making a donation,
please contact the shelter at hhpaoffice@hhpa4pets.com.
