Frequently asked questions
What is a nonprofit animal shelter?
These organizations are registered with the IRS as tax-exempt animal welfare charities, so donations are usually tax-deductible.
How many nonprofit animal shelters are in Alabama?

How does adopting work?
Start on the shelter's or rescue's own website: most post their adoptable animals there and on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet. Visit or call to meet an animal, then fill in an adoption application. Expect to show a photo ID, and if you rent, proof that your landlord allows pets. The adoption fee usually covers spay or neuter surgery, first vaccinations and a microchip. Fees vary by organization and by animal, so ask the shelter directly.
