Dixie Dogs Go North to Find Homes

The Animal Shelter has embarked on a new enterprise to provide our dogs with second chances. Partnering with Semper Fi Rescue, shelter dogs are sent to Dakin Pioneer Valley Humane Society as part of their Dixie Dogs program.  To date, five shelter dogs been transferred to the facility with the promise of more to follow in the upcoming months.  Below are pictures of the 5 dogs making the long trip with happy endings.




Dakin is accepting 5 dogs each run, 2 run per month - a total of 120 precious lives transferred for Northern adoption each year!
Ben, Goldie, Houston, Margie, and Rabbit made it safely to their destination, and were immediately assessed as adoption-ready, proving what wonderful dogs we have here in the South! We would love to show you all their pictures at Dakin, but we can't - Goldie, Houston, Margie, and Rabbit were all adopted in their first week!

You can help!

To qualify for interstate transport, the chosen dogs must be quarantined for 2 weeks prior to travel. The Animal Shelter is in need of pea gravel for the quarantine yard to keep these pups healthy and ready to go! If you can set us up with some gravel, you will be an important part in rescuing these lives. Please call the shelter at 256-236-1581 or email
ashelter@bellsouth.net if you know anyone who can help.



Help Save a Life!




Give the gift of life to an animal by donating to the Animal Shelter. Thousands of animals are abandoned at the shelter each year with little hope of adoption often succumbing to the the effects of living in a shelter.  Make a monthly pledge to support the shelter or a one time donation to assist with housing and feeding the hundreds housed at our facility.

Your gift is tax deductible and will help save a life.
