All Humane Society dogs and cats are in foster care or at one of our animal adoption homes. The Cat Adoption Center is open most Saturdays 10am-2pm,and cats may also be seen by appointment. Dogs may only be seen by appointment, or at our monthly Meet the Pets event.

Don't forget to check our Featured Pet; this may be the one for you.  The current featured pet is Pansy, a calico cat. And look here for other great pets that were recently featured; some are still available.

Check out our Events Calendar to keep up with what's happening at the Humane Society. And don't forget to check our Volunteer page if you have time to help with these events.

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.

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.
