As most of you have heard my home state of Alabama was hit hard by Tornado's across our state.Hundreds of people have died as well as thousands of animals .This is a Urgent plea for help and we must act fast to save the ones we can. Shelters across the state are receiving lots of animals that have been found across the region and lots of animals will be euthanized to make room for the new ones coming in. I will post important info you will find helpful so you can help us get these dogs urgent care. Thank you so much for your love and support during this tragic time.
Lost and Found Animals - The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has set up a disaster relief unit in Birmingham to coordinate lost and found pets in the Central Alabama area. Call 1-205-397-8534 (hours: 8am-5pm) to report an animal lost or found. They are coordinating with local shelter/rescue groups around the area.
Local Animal Control officers who find/rescue pets in the storm-damaged areas will be taking those pets to Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter on 35th Street. You can go to Metro Shelter to check on pets (they recommend you come down MKL to 35th rather than try to come down 35th from I359). They will report all the found animals they have to the HSUS disaster unit central number, so you should call that number first. You can also email lost/found pet information to the Humane Society of West Alabama at lostandfound@HumaneSocietyofWA.org we will publish what information we have. Please DO NOT bring any stray or homeless animals directly to any of the Humane Society operation sites, we do not have facilities for accepting such animals!! Found animals should be taken to Metro Animal Shelter, so they have a chance to get back with their families.
Pet Supplies - The Humane Society is collecting pet supplies and helping distribute those supplies where needed in the disaster areas and temporary shelters. We especially need: wire crates of all sizes, pet carriers, pet beds and clean bedding, pet food and bowls, cat litter and litter pans, and collars and leashes. The Flea Market at 3201 Main Ave in Northport will be open all this week, Monday-Friday 10-5 to accept donations of pet items and cash donations (no credit/debit cards), and to distribute supplies to those in need. Call the Flea Market at 205-339-3331 for current information on what we need and where we need it.
Donations:We ALWAYS need money. You can donate through paypal (see link at the left of this page), or by mailing a check to our Adoption Center or Flea Market, or by bringing your pet items or cash or check (no credit/debit cards) to our Flea Market in Northport during the collection hours shown above. We currently have over 60 animals in our care awaiting adoption, 40-50 animals acquired since the storm who are not available for adoption, and we are also still caring for the animals rescued in February in Pickens County, none of whom are released for adoption by the court. We are also assisting Metro Animal Shelter, Tuscaloosa's site for stray and found animals. If you wish to help us with our ongoing rescue and adoption operations, please consider a donation. We also need foster homes. If you can help with temporary care for a homeless animal,please contact us, or fill out and mail our foster information/application. (See link at left.)
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to our ongoing animal rescue and storm recovery efforts.
