About Us
The Humane Society Pet Rescue and Adoption Center was incorporated on April 30, 1973, to relieve suffering and to enhance the lives of animals through humane and educational services to the residents of our community. Founding members of the HSPRAC included Alabama State Senator Richard Malone, local veterinarian Dr. James Isbell, and trustees Cindy Forsman, Pat Martin, Donna Parker, Mary Camp, Carroll Crane, Debbie Johnston, Matthew Gilbert, Elaine Gilbert, and Earl Garrett. Sen. Malone advocated on behalf of all animal shelters in the state through legislation passed to create fair and adequate animal sheltering facilities for all municipalities. The original goal of the HSPRAC was to serve as an alternative to other operations in the county. The Society voted its first official board of directors into office in 1975, and in July of that year the HSPRAC became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.Ongoing Community Programs
