The mission of Bigbee Humane Society is to make possible a better world for all animals by providing shelter, educating the community about humane care.
We are a small group of volunteers dedicated to giving rescue dogs a second chance. We operate solely on donations. We are not funded by any city or county organization. We all work full time jobs, have family etc, but we think every dog deserves a chance so we are the voice for the voiceless. We do operate as a no-kill shelter. We do not euthanize to make space for another dog, which sometimes pr
events us from helping every dog in need. We provide a safe place for every dog we take in. Our shelter consist of all outdoor kennels. That is why we work so hard to find a better placement for each dog we take in. Our priority is pulling dogs from our local kill shelters and city pounds. We are always in need of new volunteers. Dogs always need to be walked, bathed, and vetted. Transporters are always needed. If interested in volunteering please email us at [email protected]

Today, we pause to remember.
On this Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten.
As a rescue, we’re especially grateful for the many service members who have shown kindness and compassion to animals, at home and abroad. Some of our dogs were saved because a soldier cared.
Today, we remember the fallen, thank the heroes, and hold our rescue dogs a little closer, for the freedom to do this work is a gift we never take for granted.
In memory. In gratitude. Always.

Last night, Demopolis Animal Control received a call from a concerned citizen whose children had heard an animal crying in pain under their home. DAC responded, and with help from a Demopolis police officer, they carefully rescued a small, injured dog; no more than 20 pounds.
She had significant wounds on both sides of her body, and sadly, they weren’t fresh; meaning she had been suffering for quite some time. While the exact cause of her injuries is still unknown, it was clear she needed immediate help.
We were asked to step in, and thanks to the compassionate vets at Demopolis Animal Clinic, who opened their doors after 10pm, she received emergency care and pain management. We feared she wouldn’t survive the drive to an emergency vet, and we’re so grateful the clinic was able to help on such short notice.
Despite everything she had endured, this little girl was incredibly sweet and seemed grateful for every bit of comfort offered to her. Sadly, she passed away this morning.
This isn’t the outcome any of us had hoped for. We so badly wanted to give her the second chance she deserved. But there’s some peace in knowing she didn’t die alone, scared, and in pain under a dark, damp house.
Thank you to everyone who played a role in trying to save her. She mattered.

Bigbee Humane Society is not a county run shelter. We are a small group of volunteers dedicated to giving stray/homeless dogs a second chance. We believe every dog deserves a chance. We are the voice for the voiceless. We do operate as a no-kill shelter. Therefore, we do not euthanize to make space for another dog. However, that does sometimes prevents us from helping every dog in need. We can only do so much. Our group operates solely on donations and revenue from our thrift store.
We try to provide a safe and healthy environment for every dog we take in. However, our shelter is an outdoor facility. That is why we work so hard to find a better placement for each dog we take in. We have each dog vaccinated, altered, dewormed, and heartworm treated if needed. Our main focus is abandoned/stray dogs and pulling dogs from our local city pounds.
We are always in need of new volunteers. Dogs always need to be walked, bathed, and vetted. Transporters are always needed as well. If interested in volunteering please email us at [email protected]
