Animal Rescue:  When an animal is injured, abused, mistreated, or abandoned, the Humane Society of Shelby county takes control of the situation.  The animal is evaluated and an attempt is made to save and place him/her.

Education:  In addition to offering guidance about spay and neuter procedures, the Humane Society of Shelby County sponsors educational programs that cover the full range of pet ownership issues.  Our education department visits school classrooms on a regular basis.

Spay and Neuter:  Stray animal are not the only cause of animal overpopulation.  Many pet owners refuse to have their animals spayed or neutered.  We work in conjunction with most of our local Vets to educate the community about spaying and neutering, and to provide assistance with the financial and emotional needs owners may have.

Cremation Service:  When our faithful friends become a precious memory, the first thing we must contend with is how to dispose of the remains.  If you feel that burial would not be an appropriate choice, or if not feasible, cremation has become an increasingly popular choice.  Using modern technology which is friendly to the environment as well as dignified for your pet, cremation offers a practical and fitting solution to both disposal and maintaining the memory of your pet.

Placement Service:  When animals need homes or when a home needs a animal, the Humane Society of Shelby County can help.  The Society works hard to match the right pet with owners.  Besides our shelter located in Columbiana, we have two off-site adoption centers; SuperPetz in Wildwood Shopping Center and SuperPetz in Irondale.  Mobile adoptions are held at various locations each month.

Volunteers:  Volunteerism is a driving force in our country.  If it weren't for the volunteers in our organization, so many things would not be done.  Our Board of Directors is an all volunteer board.  The people who work at our off-site adoption centers are all volunteers.  so many or our special events are coordinated and run by our volunteers.  What a wonderful way to make yourselves feel better and help the animals at the same time.  There are opportunities that await your.  Call our office at 205-669-3916 for more information.
