Where to Adopt a Furry Friend in Dothan

Aug 27, 2018

Areas throughout the country have furry friends in need of loving homes. Animal shelters and other adoption centers are a great place to find your next fluffy family member. Here are two options near Dothan, Alabama, for pet adoption.

Wiregrass Humane Society

At 255 Jerry Drive, just outside of downtown Dothan, is Wiregrass Humane Society. Stop in between noon and 4:30 p.m. any day of the week to see who they have available for adoption.

If you’re interested in taking one of their animals home, visit the facility and one of the staff members will be happy to let you meet your new friend in person. You’ll need to fill out an application to be reviewed by the staff before you can take a pet home. Adoption fees range from $95 to $150 depending on the type of animal. Any pets adopted from Wiregrass are sure to be spayed or neutered and current on all vaccinations.

Save Our Strays Animal Shelter

About 40 minutes west of Dothan, in Enterprise, Alabama, you’ll find Save Our Strays or SOS Animal Shelter. Head in to see their selection Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Sunday from noon until 4 p.m. Adoption fees are anywhere from $100 to $160 based on the type and age of the pet. Their fees cover vaccines and spaying or neutering. All dogs come with a microchip for tracking when they’re adopted, and cats can get one for just $10.
