Humane Society of West Alabama HSWA is a no-kill, all-volunteer shelter in Tuscaloosa, AL, helping rescue and rehome animals.

Founded in 1971, The Humane Society of West Alabama, is a no-kill animal rescue organization run entirely by volunteers. We rely on donations from citizens and our fundraisers to keep our two shelters open because we receive no monetary government grants or help from national organizations like HSUS. Our Cat Shelter is cage-free and houses anywhere between 20 and 50 cats at any given time. Our Dog

Shelter has large runs and two yards for doggy playgroups, plus more dogs in foster homes. We help reunite pet parents with their lost animals by posting their information on our page in our "Lost and Found" album. And, when our limited resources permit, we try to help with emergency vet bills when needed. We do not have the authority to seize or investigate cases of animal cruelty or roaming animals; please contact Animal Control or the police.

Our sweet Sadie needs a temporary foster home ASAP! 🐾💕

Sadie is currently undergoing heartworm treatment until September and needs a quiet and peaceful environment where she can stay calm and rested. Sadie gets along wonderfully with other dogs, but due to her current condition, she does need to be the only dog in the house as she needs to stay calm and relaxed until her heartworm treatment is complete. She does well in a crate, so you can have peace of mind when you're not home. If you're interested in temporarily fostering Sadie, please fill out an application on our website.

Please help return Hollie to her owner! More details are in the post below.

Meet Lady!🩷

This precious girl is full of energy and sure is ready to find her forever home! Lady is as sweet as they come and wants nothing more than to be loved. She loves to play but can also settle down if there are belly rubs involved or a lap to crawl into; she is the perfect cuddle buddy! Lady would be the most perfect adventure buddy and would do well with other dogs in the house, especially if they are energetic and love to play too. If you are interested in giving this sweet girl a home, please fill out an adoption application on our website.

Meet Nox!

This beautiful girl came to the HSWA Cat adoption center after being abandoned at an apartment complex. When she first came to us, she was very nervous and hesitant to trust humans. With time, patience, and love, she has slowly begun to warm up to our volunteers and is continuing to make progress every day! She will need a home without children and would do best as an only cat. Nox wants nothing more than to be in a forever home where she can be truly loved!

Please fill out an adoption application on our website if you are interested in this precious girl!

All she wants is a forever home where she can share all the love she has to give.
