Say cheese! Huntsville Animal Services staff members are collectively putting their best faces forward to encourage adoptions of homeless animals. 

Each Monday and Wednesday, an Animal Services employee will post a selfie photo with one of the waggiest tails waiting to be adopted. The photo series wraps up on June 21, recognized as National Selfie Day.

“This is a great way to show how these pets interact with people,” said Animal Services Director Dr. Karen Sheppard. “A pet’s appearance only tells one side of the story – you can’t judge a book by its cover.”

Ahead of adopting or fostering a pet, the shelter offers the chance for one-on-one time with the dog or cat to make sure it’s a good match.

Each pet is spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinated before leaving the shelter. The animals also come with a City license and a free bag of pet food.
