I did not know this, so maybe you folks don't either.
When you call Hoover Animal Control they come out and pick up a dog or a cat.
THEN they take it to Vestavia Animal Clinic - where it is held. Their pix is put up on the BP Facebook site.
I had some idea it went some horrible place where it would never return - you know what I mean.
So, check out their site and DO NOT BE AFRAID TO CALL THEM. It will cost owner $$ if an animal gets loose - but it will be treated well.
