If you are missing a pet it may have been found and put ON STRAY HOLD at the DeKalb County Animal Adoption Center (DCAAC) in Ft. Payne, AL. Please contact DCAAC @ 256.304.0474 ASAP. All  strays must be held for a minimum of 7 days to give the owner a chance to claim them. The shelter does not release information on strays to ensure they are returned to their true owner. If you have a missing pet, please go to the shelter ASAP with proof of ownership. If you are missing a pet that is not posted on our Facebook page  please still check with the shelter, not all strays are posted on the page. 

​

Please note  that strays are not in the care of our volunteer organization so please contact the shelter staff as they are the only ones who can assist you with a stray pet in their care.

 

If you are interested in adopting a pet that is on stray hold, please go to the shelter and submit an application, but know that they cannot be released until the stray hold is lifted.
