Bigbee Humane Society

Bigbee Humane Society The mission of Bigbee Humane Society is to make possible a better world for all animals by providing shelter, educating the community about humane care.

We are a small group of volunteers dedicated to giving rescue dogs a second chance. We operate solely on donations. We are not funded by any city or county organization. We all work full time jobs, have family etc, but we think every dog deserves a chance so we are the voice for the voiceless. We do operate as a no-kill shelter. We do not euthanize to make space for another dog, which sometimes pr

events us from helping every dog in need. We provide a safe place for every dog we take in. Our shelter consist of all outdoor kennels. That is why we work so hard to find a better placement for each dog we take in. Our priority is pulling dogs from our local kill shelters and city pounds. We are always in need of new volunteers. Dogs always need to be walked, bathed, and vetted. Transporters are always needed. If interested in volunteering please email us at [email protected]

For those wanting puppies or kittens, please remember they are a lifetime commitment, not a holiday gift.
Every year, we see an influx of surrender requests just months after Christmas.

If you’re considering bringing a pet into your home, make sure you’re ready for the responsibility, time, and love they deserve, for their entire life. 🐾

Livi was a street dog in Linden, Alabama for at least five years. For years, we tried to catch her, but she always stayed one step ahead. About three years ago, we finally got lucky. After she had another litter of puppies, we were able to use them to safely bait her into a trap. The moment she was caught, you could see the relief on her face.

From that day forward, Livi was nothing short of an angel.

She was heartworm positive, so once her puppies were weaned, she began heartworm treatment. For the most part, she handled treatment well. Heather and Chris Allen graciously welcomed her into their home as a foster so she could rest and recover.

A couple of months after treatment, they noticed Livi becoming sluggish, and her belly appeared swollen. An exam brought devastating news; her heart was failing. Although the heartworms were gone, the damage they had caused was irreversible. Livi was now considered a hospice dog. When we asked how long she had, we were told maybe a few months.

She was started on daily medications to manage her symptoms, and in true Livi fashion, she proved everyone wrong. She lived comfortably and was deeply loved for another two and a half years.

Recently, Livi hadn’t been feeling well, so she went in for another exam. This time, we learned her kidneys were also failing. Heather and Chris said their final goodbyes on Tuesday. Her foster sister, Sasha, stayed by her side, offering comfort as Livi peacefully left this world.

Being a hospice foster is one of the most heartbreaking things a person can do, but because of Heather and Chris, Livi knew safety, love, and dignity until the very end. Her life mattered, and she was deeply loved.

Run free, sweet Livi. 💔🐾

🌀➡️ FREEZING Weather Alert 🥶
South Alabama is expected to drop into the 20s starting tonight.

Please take a moment to read these quick winter dog house tips:

❄️ Position matters: Turn the dog house away from the wind (in winter it’s almost always best facing south). Check the wind direction and adjust if needed.

❄️ No blankets, towels, or dog beds: These collect moisture and stay damp, which actually makes dogs colder, not warmer.

❄️ Hay vs. straw: Hay is for horses, straw is for paws. Straw insulates far better, doesn’t sour, and won’t hold moisture or smell.

❄️ More is better: When stuffing a dog house with straw, use more than you think is needed. Dogs are denning animals, they’ll burrow and create warmth on all sides.

❄️ Short-coated dogs: Pit bulls and pit mixes (and other short, thin-coated breeds) are not built for freezing outdoor temperatures. Thin coats, low body fat, and bare bellies put them at high risk.

❄️ Puppies: Young puppies cannot regulate their body temperature like adult dogs and are especially vulnerable in cold weather.

❄️ Myth alert: If someone tells you “dogs are made for weather like this,” they lied. Just because an animal can survive something doesn’t mean they should have to.

💗 Best option: If you can bring them inside overnight, please do.

Found in Sweetwater AL, anyone missing their dog?? Finder can’t keep her & we have no room. Unfortunately Marengo County STILL doesn’t have a county facility….so where is she to go??

If your female dog isn’t spayed and you can’t afford the responsibility of every litter she may have, it’s time to schedule that spay appointment. Waiting until puppies are actively dying before seeking help is not responsible care.

Please spay and neuter your pets. Neglect will not
be tolerated by Bigbee Humane Society or Demopolis Animal Control.

If you need assistance, please complete our spay/neuter assistance application.

Our Story

Bigbee Humane Society is not a county run shelter. We are a small group of volunteers dedicated to giving stray/homeless dogs a second chance. We believe every dog deserves a chance. We are the voice for the voiceless. We do operate as a no-kill shelter. Therefore, we do not euthanize to make space for another dog. However, that does sometimes prevents us from helping every dog in need. We can only do so much. Our group operates solely on donations and revenue from our thrift store.

We try to provide a safe and healthy environment for every dog we take in. However, our shelter is an outdoor facility. That is why we work so hard to find a better placement for each dog we take in. We have each dog vaccinated, altered, dewormed, and heartworm treated if needed. Our main focus is abandoned/stray dogs and pulling dogs from our local city pounds. We are always in need of new volunteers. Dogs always need to be walked, bathed, and vetted. Transporters are always needed as well. If interested in volunteering please email us at [email protected]

If you are wanting to adopt a dog from us an application can be filled out online now. https://form.jotform.com/80654530650150
