The Humane Society of Etowah County was established in 1973 as a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals, the relief of suffering among animals, and the extension of humane education as set forth in the by laws of the Society.
The current shelter facility is in the old City of Gadsden dog pound, which has been enlarged over the years from the original 10 dog runs to the present 40 runs, including compartments that house puppies, small dogs, cats, kittens, chickens, squirrels, opossums, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, pigs, snakes, goats, and the occasional horse.
Funding from county and municipal service agreements provide a portion of operating expenses. Contributions play a major role in the Society's operations and fund the SNAP (Spay Neuter Assistance Program) effort in its entirety.
Humane Society personnel are on pager call 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to provide access to the animal shelter for Animal Control Officers.
The Humane Society is open to the public Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. till 4:00 p.m. Potential adopters must complete an adoption application form which aids shelter staff in determining if a home would be a suitable home. We strive for quality homes, not quantity of homes.
