adopt a pet

In celebration of Huntsville Music Month, Huntsville Animal Services and the Huntsville Music Office are teaming up to offer free adoptions on most adult pets. The “Paws and Play” promotion runs through Sept. 28.

Huntsville Animal Services is grappling with severe overcrowding due to a significant increase in stray pickups and litters of unwanted kittens and puppies. To help reduce overcrowding, adoption fees for most adult animals will be waived through the end of the month of June.

An annual Auburn event specifically for four-legged friends and their owners is taking place this weekend at Kiesel Park. The Bark in the Park event will kick off with the Tails and Trail 3K at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 16.

The time to adopt a dog is now. That’s the message from the Montgomery Humane Society. The group is cutting the cost of adoption fees in hopes of reducing overpopulation in its shelter.

Each Monday and Wednesday, an Animal Services employee will post a selfie photo with one of the waggiest tails waiting to be adopted. The photo series wraps up on June 21.
