Ozark-Dale County Humane Society

A subsidiary of the Ozark Police Department, the Ozark Animal Shelter is committed to aggressively rescuing cats, dogs, and other animals, giving them high-quality treatment, and acting as a safe haven until adoptive homes can be located.

The goal of the volunteer organization C.H.A.R.M., Inc. is to save the lives of the canines at the Headland Animal Shelter. Until a suitable home is located, we take care of the dogs' daily requirements, including nutrition, healthcare, socialization, security, and general comfort.

For the purpose of rescuing abandoned and unwanted dogs and cats, the Save Our Strays (S.O.S.) Animal Shelter was established in 1981. In 1987, after six years of arduous volunteer effort and financial support from private citizens and companies, we were able to open our no-kill shelter. As a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit, all of our funding comes from donations and fundraising.

The WHS is a nonprofit organization that provides public services with a focus on reducing animal suffering. All of the WHS's work is done by volunteers, with the exception of the staff members of our shelter. Since we do not receive any financing from the federal, state, or municipal governments, we must only rely on the kind gifts of our neighbors.

The Dothan Police Department is in charge of the animal shelter there. We keep animals.

In March 2014, the Troy Animal Rescue Project was established. Since then, we have helped thousands of needy creatures find new homes. We do not get state or federal money because we are a private animal rescue. All private donations are used to support us.
