Greater Huntsville Humane Society

Please check back with us reguarly as we will post pictures of the animals we currently have available for adoption!

Current animals in the shelter available for adoption:

We have a brief adoption procedure that consists of coming and visiting with our animals to find your new family member, a little paperwork, and an adoption fee. This fee goes to help with our costs to care for these loving and dedicated animals.

..Who We Are..

The Greater Huntsville Humane Society (GHHS) was incorporated in 1969 by 39 charter members as a non-profit, charitable (501) (c) (3) organization. Our mission is to promote the humane treatment of animals. We operate an animal shelter for homeless and unwanted animals and conduct an adoption program to place these animals into suitable homes. We are a privately funded organization and we receive no tax dollars, no government funds and no funds from any national humane organization. We depend entirely on donations, fundraisers and adoptions for funds. All donations to GHHS are tax deductible. We take in pets of all kinds and work to find them the best possible homes. Due to large amounts of unwanted animals, there may be a wait to get an animal into the Humane Society.

..Where We Are..

Our shelter is located on Johnson Road, near the "old" airport and close to the Jaycees building. From Memorial Parkway, go West on Airport Road (if going South on the Parkway, turn right onto Airport; if going North on the Parkway, turn left onto Airport). There is a Copeland's restaraunt (now out of business, but the bldg is still there) on the northwest corner of Airport and the Parkway. Follow this past a golf course on your left, past the Jaycees building on your right. Airport road will become Johnson road. Our building is a tan brick building on the right hand side approximately 1/2 mile past the Leeman Ferry intersection.

Our hours of operation are Tuesday thru Saturday, 10:00 AM until 4:30 PM; however, you may leave a message on our answering machine outside of these hours; or if you find a pet you are interested in, feel free to send an email as is listed with each pet's description.
