We’re grateful to Locks 4 Paws, Greater Good Charities and Greater Birmingham Humane Society for helping ensure that pets here are taken care of and can stay with their families.”

The giveaway happens Friday, June 23, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday, June 24, from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. — rain or shine. The shelter’s address is 1317 Old Hwy 6. “We will have plenty of supplies, so we hope everyone takes advantage of this opportunity,” Daniels said.
