SUMMARY: The Humane Society of South Mississippi is offering shelter to homeless individuals and their pets to protect them from the cold. They advise pet owners to bring their animals inside when going outside, provide them with warm sweaters, and protect their paw pads from frostbite and hypothermia. Dogs like Star, a pitbull terrier mix, are especially vulnerable to the cold and need to be kept inside during prolonged periods of cold weather. The shelter urges people to understand that if it’s too cold for them, it’s too cold for their pets, with exceptions being Arctic-type dogs like huskies or malamutes. They emphasize the need for the community to keep pets safe in cold weather.

When it comes to protecting pets and animals from the cold, one local shelter is providing relief to the local homeless community and their pets.

SUMMARY: Residents of Woodrest Drive remember Kim Watts, who was found murdered ten years ago in her Long Beach home.

On the morning of November 10, 2014, her brother-in-law discovered her body, having been stabbed and strangled.
