This week, we had yet another successful pack walk thanks to Huntsville Dog Stuff! 🐾🐾
Pack walks are a vital enrichment tool for many different reasons! They help dogs by expelling pent-up energy, exploring and acclimating to new experiences, learning how to walk politely alongside other dogs, getting one-on-one time with a new person, safely walking on a sidewalk, and using their nose to explore the world around them. ❤️
This week, 18 dogs got a chance to get some fresh air with some incredible volunteers. We look forward to next time! 💕

PUPDATE: Charlie has been adopted!
Meet Charlie (A557037)!
This sweet fellow has been with us for a while but was fortunate enough to spend some time in a foster home this past week where he had a blast! He is now back in the shelter awaiting a forever home to come and scoop him up. Here is what Charlie's foster had to say about him:
"Charlie is a slow burn kind of a dog. You could easily overlook him because he looks like so many other dogs. He's kinda medium in size, he doesn't vie for your attention, and he keeps to himself. But... if you've ever had a perfect dog, within 30 minutes of meeting Charlie, you will recognize that he is a member of the 100% good boy club. I would give him five stars on my Yelp review of how to dog.
Looking for a mild-mannered gentleman? Someone that you can count on being happy to see you after a long day at work? I know someone. He is house trained, he rarely barks (I've only heard him once), he doesn't jump on you, he gets along with all dogs regardless of size or s*x (my pack consists of both), he will be close to you but he's not a velcro dog. He is friendly and gentle. He rides in the car just fine. I haven't leashed him very much because he's recovering from a bad case of kennel cough, but I can't imagine he would give anyone difficulty.
He would gladly binge-watch Netflix with you, share some ice cream, and call it a day. I know that he's going to be someone's best friend, confidante, and shoulder to cry on. He may have been overlooked in the beginning, but the person that becomes his forever is going to find themselves wondering what they ever did before he came into their life.
His best home would be in a quiet house without young children because he's a mellow, timid kind of a guy.
P..S. He says he only wants you to adopt him if he can sleep on the couch."
Charlie weighs 51 pounds and is two years old. All dogs adopted from Huntsville Animal Services are spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, appropriately vaccinated and receive a 90 day flea/tick preventative. Ready to meet Charlie? All you have to do is stop by our shelter at 4950 Triana Blvd and head to our dog areas. You can find him in kennel D4! All adopters must be 19 years or older with a valid ID.

UPDATE: Mary Ann has been found and reunited! ❤️
🚨 BE ON THE LOOKOUT! 🚨
One of our own, Mary Ann, is missing. On Tuesday afternoon, Mary Ann was adopted by a wonderful family after spending over a month in shelter care. Unfortunately, when her new owners opened the car door to bring her inside the home, Mary Ann slipped her leash and ran. She has now been missing for two days.
Mary Ann went missing on Dartford Drive in Madison, Alabama. She was last seen in oxford subdivision off of County Line Road where she ran into a wooded area on 3/4.
Mary Ann is a mostly black dog with a mostly white chest and chin. Her front two paws are black and her back two both white. She has no white markings on her back. Mary Ann is spayed and will have a green tattoo on her stomach. She is microchipped.
Mary Ann originally came to us as a stray off Grey Goose Lane in Harvest, AL which is not far from the area she went missing. If you live in this area, please keep an eye out in case she has decided to return to that area.
Temperament wise, Mary Ann is friendly but very skittish. Our guess is that she is terrified and may be hiding/avoiding people. If you spot her, please avoid chasing her. Instead, call dispatch at 256-883-3788. Please avoid feeding or watering. Our ACOs will be patrolling the area, so please call if you spot her.
Please share to help us get Mary Ann safe.

🌟 Minnie’s Journey to a New Beginning 🌟
Minnie, a sweet and loving 7-year-old bloodhound, found herself in our shelter at no fault of her own. Shelters can be particularly tough on senior dogs who have spent their entire lives with families, but through it all, Minnie never lost her sweet, loving spirit. We knew she deserved so much more than the life she had been given.
Thankfully, the wonderful team at South Central Bloodhound Rescue saw the potential in Minnie and pulled her from the shelter, giving her the second chance she truly deserved. 🐾💖 Now, Minnie is starting a new chapter, one filled with love, comfort, and joy. She’s already made herself right at home with her foster family!
Minnie is a reminder that no matter how tough life can be, every dog deserves love, care, and a fresh start. We’re so grateful to see her thriving and excited to watch her continue to blossom into the loving companion she was always meant to be. 🌟🐶
Be the first to know and let us send you an email when Huntsville Animal Services posts news and promotions. Your email address will not be used for any other purpose, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Each year Huntsville Animal Services receives 3,000 dogs and puppies and about 2,500 cats and kittens. In the last five years the shelter has been working diligently with the tremendous support from the Mayor’s office and its constituents - volunteers and foster homes - to save as many as possible of these pets’ lives. It’s isn’t easy. Our community which includes the City of Huntsville and Madison County produces a high percentage of homeless and unwanted pets.
One of the many ways that we are able to save lives is by offering lowered adoption fees to our community. By providing reasonably priced fully vetted, including spayed and neutered pets, our community can adopt pets that will not reproduce. Our puppy and dog adoptions are typically $35 to $55 and our kittens and cats are $35 - 50. This includes the pet's rabies vaccination, a dog/cat combination vaccination, spay or neuter surgery, a heartworm check and/or a feline leukemia test. It includes a annual pet license if you live in the city limits of Huntsville. We also provide a 2 pound sample of the food that your pet has been eating while in our care. We also provide a collar and a personalized, engraved identification tag.
Offering affordable and even free spay and neuter surgeries is the backbone of our programs. Fixin’ Alabama is a targeted spay and neuter program for citizens that cannot afford to have their pet’s fixed. Starting in 2006 this program reduced the shelter’s intake from its all time high intake of 10,000 to roughly around 5,000 starting in 2015. Our shelter intake should be closer to 3,000 so our spay/neuter programs continue and additionally grant money has been acquired to offer more surgeries in needed areas.
Volunteers and foster homes are an enormous part of our life-saving efforts. Volunteers provide beautifully photographs of our pets to market our homeless dogs and cats to the community. Our Get Along Little Doggy program allows volunteers to walk our shelter dogs to teach them basic leash manners and to get them outside to wiggle, sniff, and forget about the stress of the kennel. Volunteers bath dogs, offer adoption counseling to potential adopters, help with behavioral evaluations, and 101 other tasks. Our foster home program allows our pregnant mothers, nursing mothers, too young puppies and kittens, sick and injured pets to be in a loving home environment; instead of stressed and exposed to disease at the shelter. Simply if we didn’t have anywhere from 100 - 400 pets in foster homes, we would not have enough cages for them much less provide for their bare essentials of care.
Saving lives means an entire community wants to make it happen. During the last five years our community said, “Y-E-S!”
