Yesterday, going down Bit & Spur, there was a pit bull in the middle of the road chasing traffic, almost causing several wrecks. I stopped along with three other ladies to help corral the dog out of harms way. The dog was very friendly, but no collar or tags. After a little coaxing, I was able to get the pup in the back seat of my car. He was a very good boy, he lay down like he had been in a car many times. I took him to the Mobile,AL animal shelter, hoping that someone would miss him and search for him and find him there, not dead on the side of the road. While I was at the shelter, in the lobby was the sweetest kitty I had ever seen. She had been surrendered by her owner, only 8 weeks old. Well, one look in those mesmerizing green eyes, and I was hooked. Laverne, whose sister Shirley had been fostered earlier in the day, was alone. I lost my tabby mix a couple of weeks ago, and my heart needed some healing. So, to end this long story, Laverne is living with us as we foster her and give her great love and a happy home environment. Fate has a funny way of working!

A stray (lost?), medium sized dog wandered onto my daughter's property on March 17, 2024 during very heavy rainfall. I took her in and contacted Animal Welfare Services and established a Request ID# for dispatch to pick the dog up. They closed the request without speaking to me (see below). I tried to respond to them, but they do not accept replies.The following is what I attempted to send them: "I stated (to the operator) that I 'might' have located the owner. I saw a notice on a stop sign for a lost, elderly dog. I called the number and left a message this morning. I left my name and number and said they could text or call me. I have not heard back from them. In the meantime, I am taking care of an elderly, severely emaciated female dog, with fleas and ticks on her, who was wearing a thin, very stiff leather band as a collar which was so tight, it left an indentation when I removed it. I bathed her. She was severely dehydrated and clearly starving. She has difficulty walking because the muscles in her hind quarters are atrophied. Without confirming any details with me, you chose to inappropriately close out Request ID# 4124472 and instructed me to return her to her owner and stated that then I could request that a welfare check be done at the (non-existent) owner's home. Okay, so, abused dog, no owner. Utterly irresponsible service (or non-service) on your part. I live in a 750 sq ft apartment with my own dog and two cats. I can no longer keep taking care of her!! She is very friendly and gets upset when I leave her. I will be bringing her to your facility tomorrow. Then you can do your welfare check (or possibly not) at your leisure In the comfort of your own facility. If an owner is eventually located, you can be responsible for giving an abused dog back to her abuser(s)". (I received an email asking for a rating. I chose one star, but the website won't accept the rating).

Very nice evening out. I felt safe walking the street downtown.

Extremely kind and helpful staff. They have great incentives for adopting a pet. My daughter's kitten is a joy.

The most dedicated shelter with the hardest job in the city. They need towels and blankets. They work under overcrowded and difficult conditions but try their best to make these animals feel loved.

Welcomes the puppy I found with open arms. I’m so grateful they said yes and I’m sure the puppy is too.
