�e- . This Week in
Huntsville
Huntsville and Walker County are aware, the Rita
B. Huff Humane Society Board of Directors has
made a conscious decision to place more energy
and resources on adoptions. As a result of limited
capacity at their current facility and in an attempt
to serve the growing Walker County and
Huntsville community, they have simply run out of
space.
Last week, the City was notified by the Rita B. Huff
Humane Society that they are no longer able to
accept animals picked up by the City's Animal
Control division. City staff is presently looking for
animal shelters in the region who may be able to
take the animals picked up here. Although the City
will continue to explore opportunities, it does not
look optimistic at this point that there will be a
nearby entity who is willing to accommodate the
(on average) ten animals/week that were
previously taken to the shelter by Animal Control.
For the foreseeable future, residents should call
911 in the event of a dangerous animal situation
and/or if the occasion warrants it. The City
continues to seek a solution to the situation in
which it has been placed and will continue to
inform the citizens of any changes. For non-
emergency animal control questions, please call
936-291-5480.
