Sylacauga – The Greater Birmingham Humane Society and Sylacauga Animal Services have been working together to humanely capture the free-roaming dogs in the area. Three dogs have been recently captured along Highway 280 in Sylacauga.
GBHS announced on social media that since fully activating their traps at the beginning of November, three dogs have been successfully captured through the combined efforts. While this is an important step forward, several dogs remain at large, and the work is far from over.
GBHS says that humane trapping requires patience, consistency, and cooperation, as they ask the public to avoid disturbing trapping equipment, feeding stations, or approaching the dogs, as interference can significantly delay our efforts.
They are also urging the public not to abandon animals along Highway 280. Two dogs have been struck and killed by vehicles in the area in recent weeks, underscoring the serious dangers these animals face.
