Sniffing for pups!

So for a while, I've been sniffing around for Mississippi pups, pets, etc. I really can't seem to find anyone. No events, hardly any pups, nothing. I've looked and asked around on everything it seems except here. Pups and all just seem so scarce in Mississippi. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough or Mississippi really is empty. I wanted to try on this site, and I hope I can find some pups nearby or at least in my state. It would be really nice to befriend some and know if there were any here! Curious pup is curious!
