PETFINDER FEATURED PET

Hello my name is Miss Millie and I am anxiously waiting to find a new family. I have been here at the animal shelter for almost a month now. I really do miss getting lots of love and attention; and oh yeah I also miss sleeping on a warm bed at night when its really cold. My adoption fee is only 90.00 and that will cover my spay, rabies vaccine, and first set of vaccines including bordetella that have already been given here at the animal shelter. If you have any questions please call, e-mail or come by and visit me here at the Shelter. I hope to be the newest addition to your home and I promise to be a great forever pet. Love, Miss Millie Updated 11/23/09

WHO WE ARE

We are the only Animal Shelter in Cullman County. We take in animals from citizens as well as County Animal Control Officers and Municipal Animal Control Officers. We would love to see all the animals that come in find a good home. We have a very aggressive adoption program here and have one of the higher adoption rates in the state. We have several volunteers that carry our pets to Pet Depot on Saturdays. We also utilize many foster homes in an effort to find more pets a home. We work very hard to maintain a clean and healthy environment for our animals. Recently we were state inspected by the Alabama Board of Veterinarians and we scored a 100 and were told by them we were one of the cleanest shelters in Alabama. We are a county shelter and unlike private rescue groups, we cannot refuse to take animals in just because we are full or they don't appear to be adoptable. Private groups are fortunate in that they can pick and choose which animals to take in. This is why they can guarantee adoption of all their animals. We take in HUNDREDS of unwanted animals each month and we strive to find them homes. However, we still have to euthanize due to lack of homes. We do maintain an adoption rate of 50-60% of all our adoptable pets and we are very proud of that. Also, if you know someone who is missing a dog please remind them to check here. We hold all stray dogs seven days before they are put up for adoption so the owner has time to find their pet. After stray hold is up they are then put up for adoption. If an animal is surrendered, it is put up for adoption immediately. Contrary to what some may think, their is not specific time we hold animals. Some are here many weeks or more depending on the room available here. If you can, please come see us to adopt your next pet. You can save a life here.

WHAT WE NEED

We need foster homes in Cullman County willing to foster dogs or puppies of all breeds and sizes. Also, we need foster homes willing to foster cats/kittens of all ages. If you are interested in becoming a foster parent for us please call us.

Also we depend largely on donations of food, cleaning supplies, cat litter, bleach, latex gloves, paper towels, bath towels, dog/cat treats, monetary donations and much more. If you can help, please do. It will be greatly appreciated.

Our dogs love to sleep on Kuranda Dog beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a another dog to sleep in comfort, please click here.

ADOPTING A FRIEND

Our adoption fee is $90.00 for dogs and puppies and $65.00 for cats and kittens. This price includes the rabies vaccine and the spay or neuter of your new pet at specified Vet Clinics in our county. Also, due to donations we are able to deworm your new pet and vaccinate them at our facility with puppy/kitten shots. Your new pet must have a general exam done by a Vet upon adoption. If a medical problem is found we will gladly allow you to pick out another animal.
