New Procedures for Animal Calls
The City of Homewood, The Police Department, and Homewood Animal Control are excited to announce a new partnership with the Greater Birmingham Humane Society. The city contract for strays will be handled by GBHS at 6227 5th Ave N, beginning Monday (October 5th) until the new building opens on Sydney Dr.
The hours of operation are Monday through Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM; Saturday 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM; and closed on Sunday.
The phone number is (205) 591-6522, if you are looking for your animal. You will be able to pick up at 6227 5th Ave. N in Birmingham.
The fee schedule is as follows: If your animal is unaltered, there is a $50.00 fee; $30.00 impound fee; $20.00 rabies fee (if you do not have proof of rabies vaccine); and a $50.00 City fee.
There are also some new procedures associated with this change:
Homewood will no longer respond to wildlife calls (i.e. raccoons, possums, snakes, coyotes, foxes, etc.). Citizens can call Complete Animal Removal, and they will take care of the wildlife issue. Call: (256) 455-0000
Homewood will not pick up strays after hours; this will be handled by Animal Control on the next business day. Any after-hours calls will be for extreme emergencies only.
All correspondence must go through our dispatch non-emergency number for strays.
(205) 332-6200 option, #2.
