Hope and Love Rescue

Animal control officials in Athens and Limestone County, as well as residents who find stray animals or can no longer care for their pets, bring nearly 4,000 dogs and cats to the Athens Limestone Animal Shelter every year. Every attempt is made to find each and every adoptable dog and cat loving, forever homes as well as to reconnect missing animals with their family.

Pet enthusiasts can find the pet that best suits their needs while relaxing in front of their laptops. They can then look up a shelter's website to learn more about the services it provides. To assist in keeping pets in their homes, Petfinder also offers discussion boards, a directory of pet-care providers, and a library of free pet-care materials.

We have the ambitious but doable aim of saving every homeless animal in Alabama...by lowering the number of animals put to death in shelters and lowering the number of animals living on the streets in Alabama's neighborhoods. They all deserve our assistance!

Our priorities include promoting the human/animal link, humane treatment of animals, respect for life, and good public service.

The Ark was incorporated as a non-profit, “no kill” animal shelter on March 6, 1990 by Nina Beal.

In order to examine and stabilize the physical and emotional needs of Boston Terriers and Boston Terrier mixes in need and find them the finest possible homes, Birmingham Boston Terrier Rescue is a 501(c)3 Non Profit Organization. In an effort to keep these dogs from ever needing rescue, we offer advice and assistance to pet owners. Finally, in order to save animals and promote humane treatment of animals, we collaborate with other rescue groups, shelters, and other like-minded organizations.
