Sparklight Campaign to Raise Funds for Pets at the Jackson County Animal Shelter

Connect for a Cause campaign supports local shelter pets while introducing Sparklight Mobile

GAUTIER, Miss. (April 1, 2026) — Sparklight is supporting shelter pets across the Gulf Coast through “Connect for a Cause,” a community campaign that links new Sparklight Mobile activations to donations benefiting the Jackson County Animal Shelter and the local pets in their care.

For every new Sparklight Mobile line activated in Gautier, Ocean Springs, Moss Point, Pascagoula, Biloxi, D’Iberville, St. Martin and Vancleave from April 2 through April 30, Sparklight will donate $10 to the shelter, with a guaranteed minimum contribution of $1,500.

“Jackson County Animal Shelter works incredibly hard and serves such a vital role in our communities,” said Charlie Oakes, Sparklight Senior Regional Director, Gulf Coast. “Through Connect for a Cause, we’re proud to support their efforts while giving our customers an easy way to give back locally while also providing an affordable mobile solution they can rely on.”

Jackson County Animal Shelter provides shelter and adoption services, as well as helps reconnect residents with lost pets. Funds raised through the campaign will help provide food, medical care and safe shelter for pets awaiting adoption. Community members interested in welcoming a new pet into their home can view adoptable pets online at http://pets.co.jackson.ms.us/165/Pet-Adoptions or visit the shelter at 4400 Audubon Lane in Gautier.

The Jackson County Animal Shelter shared its appreciation for the partnership.

“We’re incredibly grateful for Sparklight’s support at such a critical time,” said Maridee Mallette, Jackson County Animal Shelter Adoption Coordinator. “We’re currently caring for one of the highest volumes of adoptable dogs we’ve seen, and campaigns like this help us provide the care they need while connecting them with loving homes. We deeply appreciate our community’s support.”

Connect for a Cause also introduces customers to Sparklight Mobile, a no-contract prepaid wireless service available exclusively to Sparklight internet customers. The service includes unlimited talk and text, nationwide coverage and straightforward pricing, with plans starting at $15 per month when bundled with Sparklight home internet service.
