Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter
Metro Animal Shelter is a non-profit organization funded by the City of Tuscaloosa, the City of Northport, and the Tuscaloosa County Commission. Along with these funds, we also receive donations which are tax-deductible, redemptions and adoption fees.
From the inception of our shelter, we have seen ourselves as a dedicated group of professionals working together to do an excellent job for the citizens, the animals, and the profession. We attribute our success to our fine staff and the services we offer.
One of the strong points of our philosophy is our teamwork attitude and our emphasis on communication. We believe in the delivery of up-to-date services to the animals in the most compassionate and humane manner that we can carry out as well as being caring and sensitive with the citizens.
This Facebook Page is solely run by the director and managers of Metro Animal Shelter. We ask you to respect this page by not posting any false accusations, negative comments, and bashing of any kind. This kind of posting only affects the animals that are in our facility. If you have any concerns or questions, we ask that you email or call the shelter director directly.

Hi Everyone ! We are looking into doing a special project for the animals here at the shelter for the month of December and the holidays. 🎁🎄 If you have any extra Christmas stocking laying around, we are in need of them and looking to get some donated. We are trying to get around 30 small stockings donated for the puppies, cats and kittens, and around 80 regular sized stockings donated for the dogs. If you can help in any way, please stop by ❤ Thank you all so much ! 🐾

Our foster puppies are growing like weeds and we are all out of puppy formula! We need some more as soon as possible.
If you can help by donating a can or two please drop it off at the shelter during our business hours of 9am-6pm. The shelter will be closed Wednesday and Thursday of this week. You can also purchase some on our Chewy Wishlist through the link below.

Have you tried our Happy Hour Program? 🐾 It is such a fun, popular and successful program that we our proud to have here at TMAS ! Participating in Happy Hour lets the dogs get exposure to audiences outside of the shelter environment. ( & it is just so fun too ! 🤪) By taking a dog out for a nice pup cup, a stroll down river walk, or even a walk around T-town helps reduce the stress the dog may have from being in the shelter environment. We have even had several participants say that it reduces their stress as well! 💛
To sign up for happy hour, go to tmas.givepulse.com. Make sure to create an account with a valid I.D, complete orientation, and sign up for a time slot to participant in the fun ! Coming with friends? No problem ! Just make sure everyone 18+ has signed up and gone through orientation as well! 🐾
Happy Hour times are from 10am-5pm Monday-Tuesday & Thursday-Saturday. Please keep in mind that we close from 12pm-2pm daily until further notice. 🐶
We can't wait to have you come by!
