Animal Services invites residents to outreach event to support families and pets in need

Published on February 21, 2025

Huntsville Animal Services, in partnership with Helping Animals Without Shelter (HAWS), invites pet owners and animal lovers to a Pawsitive Outreach Community Event on Saturday, Feb. 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Tractor Supply, 3240C Memorial Pkwy. NW.

This special event aims to support pet owners in need by offering free spay/neuter vouchers, dog food (while supplies last) and flea/tick preventatives.

Additionally, Animal Services staff will be on-site to assist community members in signing up for the new Animal Services Pet Food Pantry, which provides ongoing pet food assistance for families facing financial hardship.

“By partnering with HAWS, we are strengthening our commitment to keeping pets healthy and with the families who love them,” said Animal Services Director John Fischer. “This event is about more than giveaways — it’s about building a compassionate community where no pet goes hungry or without proper care.”

Attendees can also purchase a meal of a hot dog, chips, water and cookies for $1.
