It is a small shelter located in Ozark, Alabama. ODCHS is a no-kill, not-for-profit, 501(c)3 organization (all donations are tax deductible). The goal of Ozark-Dale County Humane Society is to meet the health needs, give shelter to, and find loving homes for cats and dogs who have been abused, neglected, and/or abandoned. Donations and fundraisers are the ONLY sources of income for the shelter. You can find pets ready for adoption at https://www.petfinder.com/member/us/al/ozark/ozark-dale-county-humane-society-al152/ (At any given time, it is highly probable that there are pets who are in the vetting process, and so are not yet listed). Our Adoption Process: After choosing the pet you are interested in, we require an adoption application to confirm that your environment is a good fit for the pet you have chosen. When you have met and made the decision to adopt the pet, and are approved, we require an adoption contract to ensure that you will be a good caregiver. Fees: Adoption fee is $125.00 for dogs/puppies-Dogs have any known health care issues treated, are heart worm tested, are on preventative, spayed/neutered (age appropriate), have vaccinations up to date, and are micro-chipped. Adoption fee is $75.00 for cats/kittens- Cats have any known health care issues treated, and are FIV/FLEUK tested, spayed/neutered (age appropriate), have vaccinations up to date, and are micro-chipped upon request. All age-eligible pets are spayed or neutered prior to adoption availability. If the pet is too young for surgery, you will be provided a date for surgery on the adoption contract (included in adoption fee). It is MANDATORY. ~We also require a vet reference and/or home visit (or alternate applicable information). You can find our application here: https://www.odchs.org/adoption-application.html If you are thinking of adding a four-legged friend to your family, they are waiting to meet you! If you would like to join the ODCHS mission, there are several ways you can help--donate, volunteer, drop off cans for the drink can recycling program, and participate in fundraisers!
