Dothan, AL
The animal shelter serving Dothan and the Wiregrass region of southeast Alabama, running adoptions alongside foster, surrender and rehoming support for local pet owners.
All animals are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention, and microchipped before adoption.
Complete the application form (available under the Adoptable section), then the shelter manager reviews it and staff call your personal references, vet references and landlord. You are typically notified within one business day, then you schedule a pickup appointment (no same-day adoptions).
Estimated by applying the AVMA's 2024 national cat-ownership rate (32.1% of households) to the county's real household count from the Census Bureau — a national rate applied locally, not a local survey. Population and housing figures are from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
To help address pet overpopulation. There are an estimated 100 million cats and dogs in the U.S., with 2,000 to 3,000 more born every day.
No. There is no veterinarian on staff, so the shelter does not offer spay/neuter or other services for pets you already own.
The wait allows time for you to consider the decision and for staff to recheck vaccinations before the pet goes home.
Surrender and rehoming options are at wiregrasshumanesociety.com/surrender-rehoming.
