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.
