ADOPTION SPECIAL: Through the months of April and May, we are reducing our adoption fee for cats and kittens, so more animals can find homes. The adoption fee for kittens is now $50, and the fee for cats 6 months and older is only $30. Adopt a new furry friend now!! Look here for more information.

MEET THE ANIMALS: Meet adoptable dogs Saturday June 9, 10-2 at Pet Supplies "Plus".

FLEA MARKET: Visit our Flea Market at 3201 Main Ave in Northport for great bargains! Our Flea Market is a major source of income for our rescue operations. And if you are cleaning house for the New Year, remember to bring your gently used clothing and household items to the Flea Market.

FOSTER HOMES: We really need foster homes, to care for animals displaced and homeless due to the storm. Some of these animals are not available for adoption, they just need a temporary place to stay while their family looks for a new home or job. If you can provide temporary care for any of our animals, please consider applying to become a foster home. Look here for more information on providing foster care and how to apply.

The Humane Society of West Alabama is an all-volunteer no-kill animal adoption and rescue agency and a 501(c)3 charity.

STRAY and UNWANTED ANIMALS: Stray, unwanted and unknown animals should be taken to Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter. Please DO NOT bring any stray or homeless animals directly to the Humane Society, we do not have facilities for accepting such animals!! Metro Animal shelter is the drop-off site for unwanted animals. The Humane Society can only care for a limited number of animals. When we have room to accept more animals, they come to us through our veterinarians, through our work with Metro Animal Shelter and local animal control, and through our own volunteers' rescue efforts. We rescue and find homes for as many animals as possible, but our facilities and our volunteer efforts are limited!! Introducing a stray animal with unknown health problems risks the health of our other animals and jeapordizes our rescue efforts. Please DO NOT bring any stray, homeless or unwanted animal directly to the Humane Society!!!!

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 (1515 Veterans Memorial Pkwy, Tuscaloosa) or by bringing your cash or check (no credit/debit cards) to our Flea Market in Northport during regular operating hours. We currently have about 120 animals in our care, about 80 of them awaiting adoption. If you wish to help us with our ongoing rescue and adoption operations, please consider a donation. We have been a pet rescue and adoption organization for nearly 40 years. We are an all-volunteer organization: none of the money we receive through donations or fundraising is used for salaries.
