Metro Animal Shelter, Inc. opened its doors in July, 1994. We take in about 8,000 animals a year, and adopt out about 1,200 dogs and cats each year. The shelter does feline leukemia tests on all cats and kittens that are adopted, and heartworm tests on all adult dogs adopted out. We do in-house spay and neuter surgery on most of our shelter animals before they are adopted. Underage animals or unaltered animals require a refundable spay/neuter deposit at the time of adoption. All animals over 6 months are microchipped. We have a veterinarian who will handle any emergency after hours cases for us, and provide a free vet check for any animal adopted from us.
Metro Animal Shelter is a non-profit organization funded by the City of Tuscaloosa, the City of Northport, and the Tuscaloosa County Commission. Along with these funds, we also receive donations, redemptions and adoption fees. All animals regardless of their age are taken in by us. We are proud to be a member of the Humane Society of the United States as well as the American Humane Association, the Alabama Humane Federation, and the Alabama Animal Control Association.
We will now have our shelter animals in the Pet Supplies "Plus" adoption room every Monday through Friday (for hours, contact TMAS at 752-9101). The only animals that are going into the room are shelter animals, and right now only puppies, cats, and kittens. Since we have been at Pet Supplies "Plus" we have adopted a good number of puppies, kittens, and cats.
Our shelter has now started using a SAFER test that helps us identify dogs that will make wonderful pets, dogs that need a small amount of behavior modification, and dogs that will not make appropriate pets. Ultimately, this means better placements, safer in-shelter interactions, and fewer returns. This test, however, is not a guarantee of the dog's behavior once it leaves the shelter and is placed in a home environment. Any dog is unpredictable in a home setting. Our profile of each animal is a guideline ONLY to help us match the appropriate pet with a potential adopter.
