SYLACAUGA, Ala. – The Greater Birmingham Humane Society and Sylacauga Animal Services are working together to humanely capture free-roaming dogs in the area. Three dogs have been captured along Hwy 280 in Sylacauga.
The Greater Birmingham Humane Society (GBHS) announced on social media that three dogs have been successfully captured since the organization fully activated its traps at the beginning of November.
While the captures mark an important step forward, several dogs remain at large, and efforts to capture them are ongoing.
GBHS said humane trapping requires patience, consistency, and cooperation. The organization is asking the public to avoid disturbing trapping equipment or feeding stations and to refrain from approaching the dogs, as interference could significantly delay efforts.
Officials are also urging the public not to abandon animals along Hwy 280. Two dogs have been struck and killed by vehicles in the area in recent weeks, underscoring the serious dangers facing the animals.
