Meet Toto - The Goodest Boy of the West!
Toto is ready to make his grand stage debut at HSSM's WICKED Rock 'N Roll Over on Friday, August 15th-and he's hoping to cast a love spell on his forever family!

With his magical mix of charm, brains, and puppy-like enthusiasm (he's keeping his exact age a mystery), Toto is the perfect combination of Glinda's sweetness and Elphaba's spunk. He's a brave little guy (just ask the "evil black puppy" in the bathroom mirror he defeats daily), and he's always down for a game of fetch with his enchanted squeaky toys.

Toto walks well on a leash (though he may pause to sniff out a spell or two), uses his potty pad like a proper Emerald City citizen, and never complains at mealtime. He will eat anything, anywhere! He's got big dreams of trading his playpen for a King-sized bed-and an even bigger heart that's full of free, no-questions-asked puppy therapy.

His foster mom says he's "defying gravity" with how lovable he is-and while Toto may be his stage name, he's ready for someone to give him a forever name fit for the star he is. Maybe "Wizard" or the "Great and Powerful Oz"?

Adopt Toto, and you won't need a crystal ball to see your future-it's filled with love, cuddles, and the best little dog in all of Oz!

At 4.5 years old, this charming Schnauzer mix has been melting hearts in her foster home and is now clicking her heels, hoping for a home of her very own!

Dorothy is full of playful energy and she lives for tug-of-war, a good game of fetch, and sneaking in kisses whenever she can. She also knows how to nap like a pro, especially on cool floors where she can sprawl out in total bliss.

She's a social sweetheart who gets along famously with children and fellow pups, and she would be over the rainbow to have a doggy sibling (or two!) in her new home.

When she gets excited, Dorothy does the most enchanting little hops on her front paws! You might also catch her pretending to run in her sleep which is the absolute cutest thing you've ever seen.

Dorothy knows one thing for certain, there's no place like home! So she's ready to follow the yellow brick road straight to your heart.

This bubbly little blonde is ready to defy gravity and steal your heart! Glinda is almost two years old and is a 15 pound ball of fluff and charm, with a sparkle in her eyes and a bounce in her step. Whether she's twirling around the house or posing like the star she is, this pint-sized diva lives for the spotlight.

Much like her namesake from Wicked, Glinda is graceful, affectionate, and always ready to make an entrance. She's great with people, loves attention, and will gladly ride her bubble into your lap for snuggles. With her bright personality and a mane that would make any Ozian jealous, she's bound to be the popular one wherever she goes.

She's not just a pretty face, Glinda is also crate-trained, leash-savvy, and working on her house manners like a true lady of the Emerald City.

Ready to be the Elphaba to her Glinda? Don't wait! Bid on this enchanting little starlet and help her find the magical forever home she deserves because sometimes the most wonderful things come in the smallest, fluffiest packages.

Presented by: David Delk AKA the Great and Powerful Wizard of OZ

Defying gravity is overrated, Tubbs would much rather defy loneliness by finding his forever home! This handsome and charming one year old Corgi is as sweet as they come. Tubbs lives for belly rubs, squeaky toys, and treats fit for the Wizard himself.

When he's not busy bewitching you with his big brown eyes, you'll find him chasing the hose, splashing in the water, or soaking up lap-time naps. Sure, he can get a little distracted by pesky neighborhood cats, but Tubbs always finds his way back to his favorite people.

Whether it's a game of fetch, a cozy snuggle, or a gentle nose scratch, Tubbs will cast a lifetime of love on anyone lucky enough to call him theirs.

Adopt Tubbs, and you'll have a companion so wonderful, it's like you've been changed for good.

At almost 3 years old, this charming Basset Hound is short in stature, long in body, and overflowing with heart. With ears that could sweep the Yellow Brick Road and eyes that can melt even the Wicked Witch's heart, Fred Fiyero is ready to cast his spell on you.

Fred is a master of cuddles, leash walks, and snack disposal, and he gets along famously with dogs and kids (best over 5 due to his occasional "tornado" zoomies). He's desperately hoping to be adopted into a home with canine AND human siblings to play with!

While he's still working his magic on perfect potty skills, he's kennel-trained, a sunshine-soaker, and a green-bean connoisseur. Fred is heartworm positive, but his treatment has been FULLY SPONSORED at HSSM's Wellness Clinic.

If you've been wishing for a loyal sidekick with a little mischief, a lot of love, and legs that won't block your TV screen, click your heels and take Fred Fiyero home...because there's no place like your couch!

At just 2 months old, this fluffy Siamese darling is already working her magic. With sky-blue eyes and a coat as soft as a cloud, Elphaba will have you spellbound from the moment you meet her.

Currently perfecting her enchantments in a loving foster home, Elphaba has been living alongside three dogs-and she's proven that she can charm even the biggest, furriest of creatures. Playful, affectionate, and endlessly curious, she's ready to trade her broomstick for a forever family who will adore her.

Adopt Elphaba, and you'll learn that the most powerful magic isn't wicked at all-it's made of love, purrs, and a tiny, happy heartbeat.

Presented by: WLOX Chief Meteorologist Eric Jeansonne

No need to follow the Yellow Brick Road, your perfect pup is right here! At just 6 months old, Poppy is a magical mix of St. Bernard and Standard Poodle, with a heart as big as Oz itself. This sweet sorceress of snuggles has been casting love spells on her foster family, especially her two canine siblings! Poppy absolutely adores playing with other dogs and would thrive in a home with furry friends of her own.

Poppy has a few enchanting quirks: she's still working on her potty training (the Wicked Weather of rain or darkness is not her favorite), but she'll happily trade you a cuddle session for a duck jerky treat or a splash in the tub. She loves toys, lap time, and making every day feel like a happily-ever-after.

If you're looking for a loyal companion to fill your life with joy, laughter, and a little bit of magic, Poppy is ready to be your leading lady in a story far better than any fairy tale.

Presented by: City of Gulfport Mayor Hugh Keating

At just one year old, this longhaired Dachshund is ready to steal your heart faster than Elphaba can fly.

He's been living it up in his foster home and his foster mom says he's "a very good boy". He gets along great with the other dogs in the house, and he absolutely adores running around in the big yard, then heading inside to cool off for a quick nap before heading back out for another round.

He loves to snuggle and is also crate trained, knows how to use a doggy door, and has been told that he has Broadway-level charm.

Now he's hoping for his "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" moment-a forever family who will love him, care for him, and keep his tail wagging for the rest of his life.

Could you be the Glinda to his Elphaba, the Dorothy to his Toto, the forever home he's been dreaming of?!

Rocco is being presented by HSSM's very own Glinda.

The Benji dog in the 2018 "Benji" movie, released on Netflix, was adopted from the Humane Society of South Mississippi. The movie creators specifically sought a rescue dog and found the perfect fit in a mixed-breed female found wandering the streets of Pass Christian, Mississippi. This Benji's adoption was part of a larger effort to honor the spirit of the original Benji films, which also featured rescue dogs and helped inspire numerous adoptions.
