LOCAL PET INFORMATION AND RESOURCES

  • All animals impounded within Madison County are transported to Huntsville Animal Services. You can view photos and approximate location of where animal was picked up by visiting their website.
  • If you find a stray animal, please contact this office for pick-up and transport to Shelter, if needed.  Please do not attempt to put the animal into your vehicle.  
  • Madison County Animal Control does not operate an animal shelter.   
  • Please visit the Madison County Animal Control Facebook page.  Citizens voluntarily post photos and information regarding lost and found pets.
  • The Animal Control Department Field Enforcement Program removes stray, abandoned, and feral domestic animals from the community.  The Department also investigates nuisance animals, working with complainants and pet owners to address issues and provide solutions.
  • Madison County supports TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) of feral cats.  This program involves the trapping, transport, surgery and release of felines back to the original area of pick-up.  This serves as a humane method of managing community cat populations.
