Barkin’ Basement Thrift Shop is operated by the Humane Society of South Mississippi and explicitly accepts gently used clothing, shoes, books, furniture, housewares, electronics, small appliances, jewelry, collectibles, toys, pet items, and other reusable goods. The organization also offers free furniture pickup by arrangement, making the shop useful for larger estate or household donations.

HSSM states that it does not accept broken furniture, outdated or broken electronics or appliances, magazines, clothing or shoes with holes, stains, or tears, or used mattresses and box springs. Proceeds support the shelter’s work with homeless pets, so this is a local charitable reuse outlet rather than a commercial resale store.

For an executor, administrator, or family sorting estate property, this can be a useful targeted donation option when the listed goods are still usable but no longer needed by the estate. Do not assume the organization accepts every household item or an entire estate load. Confirm current condition standards, quantity limits, drop-off or pickup procedures, and whether bulky, unusual, or estate-sized donations can be accommodated before moving property.

Save a trip! Call first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
