City of Mobile Animal Services
Making a Difference Together
City of Mobile Animal Services is dedicated to providing compassionate care and finding loving homes for animals in our community. We believe every pet deserves a second chance to thrive as a beloved family member.
Our Commitment to Mobile
Located at 855 Owens Street, our shelter serves as a central hub for animal welfare within the city limits. We are committed to supporting both pets and residents by addressing animal-related needs and fostering a community where animals are treated with kindness and respect.
How We Help Our Animals
Our team works tirelessly to manage the day-to-day care of animals at our shelter facility. Because we face an ongoing need for support, we actively rely on the kindness of community members who open their homes to foster, as well as those who choose to adopt. This collaborative approach allows us to provide a safe, nurturing environment for every dog and cat in our care.
Find Your New Best Friend
Adoption is a joyful journey that turns a shelter pet into a lifelong companion. We focus on transparent, thoughtful matching to ensure that both you and your new pet are set up for a successful and happy life together.
Take the Next Step
Ready to meet your new companion? We invite you to view our adoptable pets online or learn about our foster programs today. For questions about adoption or to reach our team directly, please call 251-208-2800 or email us at animalshelter@cityofmobile.org to get started on your adoption story.
