The Dog Pound Goals:

The fee for adopting a pet is $92.00, no matter the age or gender of the pet. This fee covers the cost of the animal to be spayed/neutered & vaccinated for rabies!

It is very important that you understand that you CANNOT take pets from the shelter and breed them. Most of the animals came in as strays, therefore, we do not have any background or genetic information on them. Breeding these pets would not be in their best interest nor yours. Also, a Law was just passed in Alabama which requires that EVERY animal, adopted from a shelter, MUST be spayed or neutered!!

Come Visit Us!

The Dog Pound is located behind The Limestone Veterinary Clinic on Highway 72 just East of I65, next door to the Russell Stover's outlet store. <>
