Hoof or Paw, a Non-Profit Corporation Our goal is reduce the number of stray animals and promote responsible pet ownership in our community Need to contact us? Only call 9-1-1 for human emergencies.

We do NOT pick up animals, investigate cases of abuse or provide any sort of veterinary services. You will need to contact the funded Marion/Winston Animal Shelter (MWAS) at (205) 487-2581 as they are contracted and paid by Marion County and its' cities to handle stray pick ups. If there are any issues, comments, concerns or recommendations of the service you receive from MWAS, please county the M

arion County Commission at (205) 921-3172 as they handle the contract for MWAS. Our goal is to be able to take overflow from the county funded shelter, not to provide as the primary shelter because of physical space and financial constraints of being a donation and volunteer based facility/organization. email as at [email protected]

Bailey update:
Diagnosis: unilateral renal displaysia (one kidney didn’t fully develop)
Prognosis: good since right kidney is normal

liver looked normal, heart looked and good and worms have cleared. Should live a normal healthy life, will just need his kidney monitored when he goes in for regular check ups or if he becomes sick. Eating normally twice a day dry dog food. Continue feeding with a slow feeder bowl. He gained over 1 lb since last week. Needs good diet with no excess products for his good kidney to process .

Baby Bailey….pretty good day, he had some vomiting this morning but attributed it to being carsick on our way into the office. He’s had 4 small meals since then and all has stayed down so far 🤞🏼🙏🏼

Rubble & Ryder arriving in Delaware today! Bitter sweet as they were brought into our shelter as babies with their eyes still closed over a year ago and have been together ever since! @hapdelaware

Life of Zerra!

This kitty girl was found on Hwy 19, Detroit, AL near Byrd fire department. She’s already fixed so we believe she’s someone’s. Contact us at [email protected] if you know her. 7 day stray hold applies then she will be looking for a home or going to another rescue.

Today we said goodbye to Thor. Today he no longer hurts and feels in pain. He got to experience love, a full belly, and a wonderful family these last few weeks of his life, but his body was too far gone to keep up with his spirit. Now he can run free, healed, happy, and chasing all the tennis balls he wants for eternity. We still have to pay for his expenses so please consider donating in his memory to hooforpaw.org/donate Had he been able to receive help sooner, he may have never been in this state. There are too many animals that share Thor’s story and we as a society are the ones who sentence them to the death and hurt. We need change. Be the change for those still here that are like Thor. My heart is broken and I know his foster momma’s is too.

What an amazing gift from @thegbhs, we couldn’t keep doing what we are without their support for transfer and now this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Important announcement from our fundraising coordinator, Felicia Aycock, and her cute co-host Miss Adilyn! Congrats to our BTS drawing winner Valerie Cole!

Everyone is all excited after some Waterhouse fun and feeding time! All of these plus more are waiting for their furever homes, or even fosters! 🚨 Adoption fees waived on any dog that is already spayed or neutered, and lowered to $50 for any one not already spayed or neutered (conditions apply) for this month 🚨 hooforpaw.org/available-animals and it also lists our adoption process

Just in case anyone was wondering about Zerra’s, the meat market dog, quality of life, here you go!

Dolly has made it through the night. I made her a cot from the cat’s window seat because she’s not interested in getting up this way we can lift her and move her. She’s eaten and taken some syringes of water. She will be on the way to the vet after PreK drop off.
