The Long Way Home - Athens Pet Shelter

Our mission and vision is to save animals of all sizes and all species by placing them into loving, forever homes. We are an all-volunteer, foster home based, certified 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization based in South Alabama. We do not have a facility. Instead, we operate primarily through our foster homes, Petfinder and at adoption events.

  • Simply outstanding! My wife and I adopted our 2 dream pups (Peach and Mario) yesterday. The shelter is so clean, well thought out and caring. They truly love animals and it shows. The screening is thorough which I liked very much. If you want to adopt or foster, this is the place to go in North Alabama. You will have to see it for yourself.

Each year, the Athens Limestone Animal Shelter accepts more than 3,000 dogs and cats from animal control officers in Athens and Limestone County and from citizens who find strays or can no longer care for their pets. Every effort is made to reunite lost animals with their families and to find loving, forever homes for every adoptable dog and cat.
