For a limited time, you can get that doggie in the window for free. Or a playful cat.
Free adoptions and a thrift-store sale are the result of a fire Monday night that damaged the Humane Society of South Mississippi, but injured none of the animals housed at the shelter in Gulfport on 25th Avenue, also known as U.S. 49.
HSSM had reduced its $50- to $100-adoption costs to a $10 donation Tuesday morning and then learned an anonymous donor has offered to cover all adoption costs until further notice.
“We live in a great place,” HSSM Executive Director Tara High said. “There is always a silver lining.”
HSSM needs to place 50 to 100 animals immediately to keep a more manageable number of animals safe while damage from fire, smoke and water are repaired.
Ceiling repairs, for instance, can create fumes that could harm the animals, High said.
Of 260 animals housed at the time of the fire, 61 had been classified as strays. They had no identification and had not been microchipped. Anyone who has lost a pet is asked to call the shelter at 863-4394.
HSSM is unable to accept additional animals until further notice.
Its thrift store has knocked prices down to 50 percent off except for clothing, which sold for 10 cents apiece Tuesday and drops to a nickel per item today and a penny per item Thursday. Some of the clothes smell like smoke, as do some items made with fabric.
The fire started in the shelter’s laundry room, which created an immediate need for towels, sheets and blankets, which are used for baths and bedding, High said.
“We are asking for people to think of us now if they have towels and bedding they want to get rid of,” she said.bay sensing and enforcement Wholesale Solid Color Glaze Tiles For Wall.

Fire Chief Mike Beyerstedt said the blaze started in a laundry hamper, where hot rubber matting from a freshly dried load apparently ignited lint or a towel.

An employee noticed the fire while checking to make sure doors were locked. Five trucks and 16 firefighters responded, and about 30 employees and their relatives showed up in an emotional gathering, waiting to see if the animals were safe.
“Our vet has finished checking all of them, and gave us a thumbs-up,” High said.
Different companies have been coming in to assess damage and estimate repair costs, and insurance adjusters are coming today, she said.
