GBHS Featured Pets: Talladega Puppy Mill Dogs Now Available for Adoption |
 On August 30th the GBHS relieved the Talladega Animal Control of 34 dogs from a recent puppy mill bust. Many of the "puppy mill" dogs have found their forever homes. However, a few special ones are still seeking loving families to call their own.
The adoption fee is $150 and they have all received needed vet care including: teeth cleaning, spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm checks, and deworming.
Come meet these special dogs today! |
September is Disaster Preparedness Month |
 Never knowing when disaster may strike, the Greater Birmingham Humane Society encourages you to be prepared.
Would your family be prepared if a disaster struck? Do you have a disaster kit prepared? Do you have an evacuation plan or alternative lodging pre-planned? If you answered "No" to any of these, it is time to get READY! |
The Pups are Barking for Bucks! |
 The GBHS has received over 7,241 pets this year in need of shelter and care. The 243 cats, dogs, and rabbits that are currently calling GBHS home need your help. They're not asking for a lot...just a buck!
Will you please help the homeless pets at the GBHS by giving a minimum of $5 on-line, or sending $1 (or more) to the Greater Birmingham Humane Society? Our homeless pets are "BARKING" for your help! Can they count on you? |
