Huntsville Animal Service
Each year Huntsville Animal Services receives 3,000 dogs and puppies and about 2,500 cats and kittens. In the last five years the shelter has been working diligently with the tremendous support from the Mayor’s office and its constituents - volunteers and foster homes - to save as many as possible of these pets’ lives. It’s isn’t easy. Our community which includes the City of Huntsville and Madison County produces a high percentage of homeless and unwanted pets.
One of the many ways that we are able to save lives is by offering lowered adoption fees to our community. By providing reasonably priced fully vetted, including spayed and neutered pets, our community can adopt pets that will not reproduce. Our puppy and dog adoptions are typically $35 to $55 and our kittens and cats are $35 - 50. This includes the pet's rabies vaccination, a dog/cat combination vaccination, spay or neuter surgery, a heartworm check and/or a feline leukemia test. It includes a annual pet license if you live in the city limits of Huntsville. We also provide a 2 pound sample of the food that your pet has been eating while in our care. We also provide a collar and a personalized, engraved identification tag.
Offering affordable and even free spay and neuter surgeries is the backbone of our programs. Fixin’ Alabama is a targeted spay and neuter program for citizens that cannot afford to have their pet’s fixed. Starting in 2006 this program reduced the shelter’s intake from its all time high intake of 10,000 to roughly around 5,000 starting in 2015. Our shelter intake should be closer to 3,000 so our spay/neuter programs continue and additionally grant money has been acquired to offer more surgeries in needed areas.
Volunteers and foster homes are an enormous part of our life-saving efforts. Volunteers provide beautifully photographs of our pets to market our homeless dogs and cats to the community. Our Get Along Little Doggy program allows volunteers to walk our shelter dogs to teach them basic leash manners and to get them outside to wiggle, sniff, and forget about the stress of the kennel. Volunteers bath dogs, offer adoption counseling to potential adopters, help with behavioral evaluations, and 101 other tasks. Our foster home program allows our pregnant mothers, nursing mothers, too young puppies and kittens, sick and injured pets to be in a loving home environment; instead of stressed and exposed to disease at the shelter. Simply if we didn’t have anywhere from 100 - 400 pets in foster homes, we would not have enough cages for them much less provide for their bare essentials of care.
