TEARS, The Emergency Animal Rescue Service, is a not-for-profit Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals dedicated to the rescue of injured animals, the investigation of cruelty and the prosecution thereof. We are one of the few organizations in Central Alabama operating on a 24 hour a day, seven day a week basis. We are also one of the only organizations which extends help to ALL animals, including wildlife, reptiles and livestock and specializing in horses. Our incorporation allows us to function through out the state of Alabama.

TEARStown is open to the public every Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.. Location in Birmingham Alabama, near Pleasant Grove.

A pre-screen of potential adoptees is required by completing a Pre-Adoption form on our website.

Our adoption fee is $105.00 for our rescues. The adoption fee helps us defray some of the cost of medical treatment the animals have already received.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
