Private organization open by appointment during COVID-19. Contact 205-554-0011 or [email protected] w/ ALL questions.

Facebook is not a direct way to contact us. 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 betwe

en 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.

Happy Tails to Chip!🐾💙

While at the HSWA, Chip quickly became a huge volunteer favorite… Not only because he is gorgeous, but he has the best personality ever! Now Chip is living his best life in a wonderful forever home, and we couldn’t be more thankful.

Here’s what his lucky adopter has to say about our precious boy:
“I have owned dogs my entire life but none are as happy or have had such a personality as Chip. Chip loves his walks around the University of Alabama campus where he lets anyone and everyone come and say hi. He loves to let people pet him and the attention brings a massive smile to his face. When he isn’t out on his walks he loves laying on the couch next to his roommates and watching tv. He has now met my two English golden retrievers back home and whenever they are around each other, the 11-year-old retrievers act like puppies again.
Chip is a blessing to me, my friends , and my family. Life without Chip just wouldn’t be right.
The pictures I attached are him laying on the couch watching the tv with his toy next to him. Chip laying down at his first Iron Bowl tailgate where he met plenty of new friends. Chip sitting down after a walk without a care in the world. And finally a picture of him the first day I met him claiming a seat on our couch.”

We are so grateful for Chip’s adopter and glad he is living his best life!

Happy Tails to Poppy!🐾🩷

This is what Poppy’s family has to say about her:
“Poppy was adopted seven months ago at the start of the July 4th weekend. Before joining the family, she and her two sisters were cared for and fostered by Caroline, a volunteer with the HSWA, who did a wonderful job of getting her and her sisters ready for their new homes. The HSWA, and Tina Evans in particular, have been so supportive throughout the entire adoption process, from the initial meeting with Poppy, going through the adoption process and routinely checking on her over the last several months. While Poppy missed her sisters at first, she very quickly made herself at home and has been a wonderful dog and great companion from day one. She is super sweet and wants nothing more than to please everyone she encounters. Her favorite things to do are cuddle, play fetch in the backyard, go on walks to new places to experience new smells, and taking naps on the couch. She is a great companion and the best addition to the family. She has found her forever home!”

We are so thankful for Poppy’s family and glad she is living her best life!🥰

With extremely heavy hearts, the Humane Society of West Alabama shares the passing of our long-term resident, Tux. He arrived at HSWA in 2016 at just three years old and has called the Cat House home ever since. When he arrived, he was full of sass, but he grew into a beloved fixture of the Cat House, always lounging in his favorite spots and keeping everyone on their toes with his playful, independent spirit.

Our Cat House leader, Kathy, had a special fondness for Tux, often calling him her “boyfriend” and saying she would have adopted him if she believed he would be happier in her home than lounging on the catio.

To all who loved and cared for Tux, we thank you. He will always be apart of the HSWA family. Tux was cherished by many and he will always be remembered.🤍🐾

🩷Meet Miss Hobbes!🩷

Miss Hobbes has been with us for quite some time, just like many others. She’s a sweet and affectionate girl who would thrive as the only cat in a home.

She’ll be sure to let you know when it’s time for a drink!

Miss Hobbes is a loving companion and comes with her very own towel—and yes, she absolutely knows it’s hers! So, if you’re looking for a smart, sweet-spirited girl to add to your home, Miss Hobbes is the perfect match.

Happy Tails to Remy!🩷🐾

This is what Remy’s mom has to say about her:
“As soon as I went to the Humane Society of West Alabama and laid eyes on Remy I knew she was the one. The happy wiggles and her unlimited kisses made the decision to foster her easy. Her time as a foster was short because once we started building our relationship I knew I couldn’t let her go. We have gone on so many adventures since and she has made my heart so happy and full. Her sassiness and attitude never leaves a dull moment in my apartment. I’m so thankful for the humane society for bringing me my best friend!”

Happy Tails to Vader!❤️🐾

This little sweet boy has found himself in the very best home and we couldn’t be happier!

Here’s what his adopters have to say…
“As long time fosters for HSWA, we love bringing babies into our home and giving them a temporary place to thrive while waiting on their forever. It is also how a few of our doggos became foster fails. After Riggs found his forever people, we invited a new foster into our home. Vader showed up a bit chonky, and with an eye issue, but I have never seen a dog become so comfortable and adapt as quickly as he did. Adding Vader to our pack was the BEST decision. He thinks he is a larger than life Sith lord, but he is secretly a one person snuggle bug. I was fortunate enough to become his person. He loves his small, squeaky turtle, snuggling under blankets, and reaching up to paw his heart out on your leg when he wants attention. Now that his eye is healed and not sensitive to touch, he loves to put his nose to yours and let you rub his head. He will close his eyes and grunt. He is the absolute sweetest baby boy and 100% proof that you need not be afraid to adopt senior dogs. At 6 years old, Vader is just hitting his stride. Fiercely protecting our home from random noises by scaring them away with his tiny but mighty bark, just as any Sith should. We love him to pieces.”
