Meet Laurel, the toy-loving, tail-wagging sweetheart with a knack for keeping life exciting!
At just 7 months old, Laurel is all about playtime and making friends—whether they’re on two legs or four. She’s even had some fun with cats, though her boundless enthusiasm means she’d do best with feline friends who can handle her zest for life.
Laurel’s story began on the side of Three Rivers Road in Gulfport, but she quickly showed us how much love she has to give. She was adopted into a loving family with a young boy who adored her, but unfortunately, she struggled to adjust to their elderly grandfather. Now, Laurel’s back with us and ready to find her perfect match—a home where she can thrive and share her playful spirit.
Spayed, heartworm negative, and always up for an adventure, Laurel is waiting to meet someone who will toss her favorite toys, enjoy her antics, and love her for the good girl she is. Could that someone be you?

HSSM is home to over 300 pets on any given day, most of which are looking for new forever homes! Your new best friend could be waiting at HSSM right now. Our beautiful, 41,000 square foot facility is currently open to the public. HSSM is open for adoptions Tuesday – Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. No appointment is necessary to adopt, however, adoptions are first-come, first served. You must come to HSSM to complete your adoption and make sure you bring a photo ID, as it is required to complete adoption paperwork.
Our adoptable animals page is self-updating and displays ALL of HSSM’s adorable adoptable pets from “pocket pets” to birds and of course the hundreds of dogs and cats currently calling HSSM home! See one you like? Make sure you note your favorite’s name and animal ID number so that HSSM staff and volunteers can easily find him/her when you come in!
Adoptions are cut off every day about 30 minutes prior to closing and possibly earlier if volume is high. Weekends are busy and you may have to wait more than an hour (especially in the afternoons) so please be prepared.
