ANIMAL CONTROL CONTACTS WITHIN ELMORE COUNTY

The Humane Society of Elmore County is a sheltering agency for animals brought to us by citizens and authorized Animal Control Officers (ACO) from within Elmore County. We do not have the authority to pick up animals, but have contractual agreements with the county and municipalities so that they can bring their animals to us for their care and disposition. In instances of cruelty or neglect we will assist with any necessary investigation or documentation as to the condition of the animal and will hold that animal pending any court disposition.



In general stray animals are held at our facility for a minimum of seven days in hopes their owner will come to reclaim them. It is important to note that Section 3-7A-7 of the Alabama Code states:
“When dogs and cats are impounded and if the owner thereof is known, such owner shall be given direct notice of the impoundment of said animal or animals belonging to him; or the impounding officer may make said animal or animals available for adoption after a period of not less than seven days.” This basically means the state seven day minimal hold period only applies to animals with identification on them or whose ownership has been told to the Animal Control officer, agent or sheltering facility, so please, please, please, keep a collar and rabies tag as also required by Alabama law on your pet at all times.
