About Us

About A New Leash on Life

A New Leash on Life, Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)3 animal rescue organization that was incorporated in 2004.  We have an all-volunteer staff and rely solely on donations from the public and local businesses to cover our expenses.

Our adoptable pets come from several different places:  kill shelters, owner surrender, on busy roads, in abandoned houses, and pretty much everywhere else you can imagine.

We house our adoptable pets in approved foster homes where each pet is evaluated in a home setting.  We believe this allows us to better match our pets with suitable families and homes, so that they will not ever be homeless again.

Our Mission

A New Leash on Life, Inc. strives to:

• Reduce the number of homeless pets, by spaying and neutering ALL pets in our program, as well as others.
• Make a difference in the life of each animal we come in contact with.
• Provide medical assistance and foster care for abandoned, injured, or unwanted animals all over north Alabama.
• Educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering to put an end to pet overpopulation and euthanasia.
• Promote humane animal treatment in our community and elsewhere.

Our volunteers are dedicated to rescuing, caring for, and finding good forever homes for the pets. Each dog and cat brought into our foster care program has:

• a loving foster home
• regular veterinary care (spay or neuter, vaccinations, deworming, heartworm testing and preventative for dogs, feline leukemia and FIV testing for cats, and other necessary medical treatments)
• freedom to run and play (no cages except for house training)
• a happy life in foster care while awaiting a permanent home.
