About this shelter

Russell County Animal Shelter in Phenix City, AL

Russell County Animal Shelter is located at 601 12th St. in Phenix City, Alabama, about 2 miles northeast of Columbus, GA, and is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It operates as a joint County-City venture designed to house stray and abandoned animals in accordance with Alabama law. The shelter's motto is "Opt to Adopt," encouraging the community to give homes to animals waiting for their "fur-ever homes," and it also assists residents in claiming lost pets that have ended up at the facility. Beyond adoptions, the shelter relies on community support and donations, including contributions from local individuals and businesses, to help care for the animals in its keeping.
