Who We Are

The Prattville/Autauga Humane Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing animal cruelty and providing a temporary home for abandoned and abused animals. Our shelter is run by a small, dedicated staff who depend heavily on the loving care and hard work of our volunteers. We invite you to join us. Together we can make a difference! For information contact our shelter at 334-358-2882.

We have changed our name from Autauga County Humane Society to Prattville/Autauga Humane Society to more accurately reflect our service area and to recognize the City of Prattville as well as the Autauga County Commission for their financial support with shelter operations. You may see us listed both ways for a while, but we are still the same organization working to benefit the animals in our community.

Adopting a Friend

All applicants must fill out an adoption application. Applicants are screened to ensure the best possible home for the pet. Adoption fees are $100 for dogs and $85 for cats. This helps to defray the cost of housing, feeding, and caring for these helpless animals and includes vaccinations and spaying or neutering your adopted pet at a participating veterinary clinic. All pets adopted from our shelter must be spayed or neutered within one month of adoption or as soon as they are old enough as it is mandatory and required by law. The cost of spaying or neutering is included in our adoption fee.

NOTE: We welcome any out-of-towners to adopt animals from our shelter, but we cannot transport or ship animals to you. You must come to the shelter or one of our off-site adoptions to do the paperwork and to pick up the adopted animals.

PAWS

"Pets Are Wonderful Support" (PAWS) is an informal Pet Visitation Program to nursing homes, retirement centers, children's programs, and other facilities. It is sponsored and supported by the Prattville/Autauga Humane Society.

The purpose of PAWS is to bring smiles and laughter to everyday routine, promote physical and emotional well-being, encourage communication, and satisfy the basic human need to physically touch and be touched.

Pets can make us healthier, happier, live longer, and recover more quickly from illness. They can lower blood pressure, lower stress levels, and increase self-esteem.

Pets give unconditional love and acceptance, comfort and cheer, break through barriers that people cannot, and provide motivation, activity, organization, and purpose to the lives of those who love them.

Membership in PAWS is open to anyone, with or without a personal pet. Pets do not have to be registered or obedience schooled, but they must be healthy, up-to-date on shots, well groomed, affectionate, able to get along well with other pets and all people, and controlled by the handler. Pets may include dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, potbellied pigs, and miniature horses, as long as they meet health and temperament standards.

Routine visits are the first and third Saturdays of each month. We also visist elementary school programs and other special events throughout the year.

The program enables participants to experience the positive results of the age-old bond between people and pets and the reward of the excitement and love generated in the lives of those who visit and those who are visited.

If you are interested in volunteering for this program, call Lee Ann Doan at 334-358-3946 or Pam Bryant at 334-361-0803.
