The Alabama Animal Adoption Society (AAAS) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization which was founded in 1977 by a small group of people whose primary goal was to help solve the problem of strays and unwanted pets in need of loving homes. A program of mobile pet adoptions was begun, and on two Saturdays per month , opportunity was provided for showing animals in a convenient location. These adoptions were held in local shopping malls where trained volunteers could help to interview the public and try to match each pet to the most suitable home.
In November 1982, the Society purchased a headquarters building which is now known as the Center. Since then, AAAS has been holding adoptions in this facility, which is two blocks west of 18th Street in the heart of Homewood. Adoptions are held every weekend, with the exception of some holidays, for the purpose of adopting animals to responsible homes.
Adoption might seem like a strange term to use for our process, but we are like an adoption agency. When we schedule an animal to be shown at our weekend adoptions, we try to determine if it is good with children and other pets, if it is house-broken, and in good health. Additionally, adult animals have been spayed or neutered, or can be immediately scheduled for altering. Puppies and kittens can be taken with their adoption papers to one of our for altering when they are old enough - usually at six months of age. This is done at no charge to the new owner. The small donation we ask for each animal at the time of adoption (usually $50.00) is tax-deductible, as a contribution.
We strongly recommend to all pet owners that they get their pets spayed or neutered, and we offer a spay/neuter program where any pet owner can come in and purchase low cost spay/neuter certificates. These certificates can be taken to any of our and their pets altered at no more cost to the owner.
Because there are times when people need help placing either their own pet or a stray. We are more than happy to work with them and will help them place their pet in a good home.
