Please reasure owners of lost
pets that all animals will be held for
an extended period:
"At this time, the GBHS, Tuscaloosa
Metro, and BJC Animal Control Services,
are not euthanizing animals to make room
for displaced pets. We are in constant
contact with other agencies around the
country to facilitate transports to
other areas of the country of PRE-STORM
pets to make room for displaced animals
while we wait to reunite them with their
owners. If you know of a shelter in this
area that IS euthanizing animals to make
room for displaced pets, please contact
Stephanie at fostercare@gbhs.org and let
her know. We will do our best to put
them in contact with the agencies
facilitating transports."

A reminder from Animal Control:
As with all areas affected by the
tornadoes... PLEASE ask everyone to
remember that these are likely someone's
pets! Our goal should be reuniting these
babies with their families. We have
multiple dogs at the shelter that have
owners that are hospitalized. We are
happy to hold them here until they can
have a chance to come find their pups.
If you can't take a found dog to your
local shelter, please let your shelter
know that you have found the dog, and
give a detailed description. Greater
Birmingham Humane Society has set up a
hotline for us specifically for
lost/found animals. If you have found a
dog/cat or are looking for yours, please
call 205-397-8534 (for Jefferson and
Tuscaloosa Counties). BJC Animal Control
continues to pick up dogs and cats in
the affected areas... and rescue
trailers are located in Pleasant Grove
(at Hill's Food Center) and Concord (at
Earnest United Methodist Church) to
supply food, water, bowls, collars,
etc... as well as take in found animals
and gather information on lost pets.
Thank you!
