Adopt a Black Mouth Cur in Mississippi

Black Mouth Curs are versatile, loyal, and athletic Southern working dogs — the breed of Old Yeller. They appear regularly in rural Southern shelters. A rescued Black Mouth Cur is a hardy, devoted family companion that thrives on activity.

Mississippi has one of the highest rescue dog populations per capita in the country, with overcrowded rural shelters statewide. Organizations in Jackson, Hattiesburg, and Gulfport rely heavily on transport networks. A rescued Mississippi dog often comes from a high-need shelter where adoption alternatives are limited.
