Huntsville Animal Services
Our Mission
Huntsville Animal Services is dedicated to providing care, safety, and well-being for animals in our community. We believe every pet deserves a loving home and a second chance at happiness.
Serving Our Community
Located at 4950 Triana Blvd SW, we serve the Huntsville area as a vital resource for pet welfare. We are committed to supporting local families, helping lost pets reunite with their owners, and providing a safe harbor for those in need of a new beginning.
How We Care for Our Pets
Our shelter operates with a focus on compassion and life-saving initiatives. We maintain an active, multi-faceted approach that includes traditional shelter care alongside dynamic programs like our foster network, which offers Foster to Adopt, Sleep-Over, and Foster to Rehome options to ensure each animal finds the right environment.
Your Role in Their Story
Adoption is the beginning of a beautiful partnership, and we are here to help you find the perfect match for your lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a playful dog or a quiet companion, our team is ready to introduce you to a pet eager to become a part of your family.
Join Us Today
We invite you to visit our shelter on Triana Blvd or explore our online database of adoptable pets to see who is waiting for you. For more information or to inquire about our volunteer and foster opportunities, please call us at 256-883-3782 or email us at Animals@HuntsvilleAL.gov. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend.
