About

Dedicated to Rescuing and Rehoming Dogs

Shebas is the only animal rescue in Jefferson Davis County dedicated to sheltering and caring for unwanted dogs. We passionately support keeping families and their pets together through difficult times. Since achieving 501(c)(3) status in April 2024, we have transformed the lives of over 400 dogs by placing them in loving homes or partner rescues and assisting families in remaining united. Our mission is driven by compassion, nurturing every dog with love and hope.

Shebas rescues, nurtures, and finds loving forever homes for unwanted dogs from Jefferson Davis County.

Compassion in Action: Saving Lives One Dog at a Time

Shebas cares deeply when it feels like no one else does. Every dog we rescue is welcomed as part of our family because they truly are family. From our family to yours, we love them just as much as you do.

Building Hope Through Dedicated Animal Rescue

Shebas was founded on the conviction that every dog deserves the opportunity to be loved and welcomed into a family.
