Founded in 1981, the ARL was the first no-kill facility in Mississippi. This means there is no time limit on adoptions of each animal. If they are not adopted, they live out their lives at the shelter. They are NOT euthanized just for being unwanted. We love each animal that enters our doors, and consider them all to be part of our family.
Our mission is to care and provide for the many unwanted and abandoned animals in our community. We are proud to have rehabilitated and found loving homes for thousands of animals over the years. The dream of this organization is to eliminate thousands of homeless animals by educating the public about responsible and loving pet care.

Additional adoption info
Here at ARL we strive to make sure each animal that enters our shelter finds their forever home. This requires that we get to know each guest that visits our shelter. Some pets require special homes and we make sure to describe each pet to potential adopters.
