‼️ URGENT‼️15 DOGS ARE SCHEDULED TO BE EUTHANIZED - TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH AT NOON‼️

Within the last few weeks, the Baldwin County Animal Shelter has continued to receive an increasingly high volume of calls, not only regarding dumped and abandoned animals, but also regarding animal cruelty. In order to accommodate this continually increasing influx of dogs, the shelter must make space in a short amount of time as they are LEGALLY REQUIRED to do.

If you've been considering adoption, now is the time!

Shelters are full, rescues are full, fosters are full. We're all drowning, we're all exhausted and most importantly we're running out of options and time to save these precious lives. Please help us help them find safety before their time is up!🙏

The Baldwin County Animal Shelter is open to the public Monday through Friday between 1-5pm! As well as after hours or on weekends, by appointment for pre-approved adopters.

Rescue inquiries can be sent to [email protected].

PLEASE NOTE: Comments not related to finding help for these innocent animals will be deleted. Bashing the shelter staff or volunteers will get you blocked. No one wants to be in this position. No one wants to make these decisions. Particularly not the people who love and care for these animals everyday. Please try to understand that we are the people trying to help them, NOT the people trying to kill them.

Myths about "kill-shelters"

This short article is worth a read.. but if you're not a fan of clicking links, we've copied a few parts of the article below..

"Vilifying an organization, that only exists because of the negligence of its general public, and is forced to make hard decisions to remain available to said public, is one of the most disturbing things about working in animal welfare."

"You cannot demand change from the overworked, underpaid shelter staff. You need to first demand it from your own community.

Your neighbor with the unaltered female dog that is allowed to run loose and has an oops litter. The friend who doesn’t want to get his male dog neutered because he believes it somehow 'takes away from his manhood'. The family down the street who allows their cats and dogs to run loose constantly, and when one it taken to the shelter, they simply get a new one instead of reclaiming the lost pet. The many people you know who, despite modern advances in microchip identification, make no effort to properly mark their pets so they may be easily returned if lost.

All of this contributes greatly to the overcrowded shelter in your community. THEY are the reason shelters earn the label 'kill-shelter'. THEY are the reason tough decisions have to be made.

If every member of a community were mindful and responsible, shelters would sit empty.

The only way to truly achieve 'no-kill shelter' status is to hold the public accountable. They are the beginning of the chain. Don’t buy into the myth that shelters who are forced to euthanize are somehow the problem. That they are at fault. That they are less important than the rescue or humane society who calls themselves 'no-kill'. They are forced to exist.

Place blame where it truly belongs = the irresponsible public.

Be not only the voice for the animals, but for the hard working shelter staff in your community. Inform yourself, spread facts not myths."

You find a lost dog in your neighborhood and ask friends for advice on what to do next. One person tells you to bring it to the animal shelter, another tells you absolutely not, they ‘will just kill it’. You contact a local rescue that is known to take dogs and are told they are […]
