Shelby Humane launches Fix-A-Bull Program

Pit Bulls Need Our Help – Let’s “Fix-A-Bull”



Pit Bulls and their mixes are among the most common breeds in animal shelters. Their

large litters—often 8 to 10 puppies—can overwhelm shelters, with many waiting months before adoption. Adult Pit Bulls tend to stay even longer, and sadly, they face some of the highest euthanasia rates nationwide.


We can change this. Shelby Humane is launching “Fix-A-Bull,” a spay/neuter program

focused on Pit Bulls and Pit mixes in Shelby County. Our goal is simple: stop the cycle of overbreeding and reduce the number of dogs entering shelters.


Here’s how it works:

• No income restrictions—everyone qualifies.

• Owners submit a photo as proof of breed.

• For a minimum $20 donation, each dog receives:

o Spay/neuter surgery

o Rabies vaccination

o Additional pain medicine

o Microchip

o Flea pill

o Round trip transportation for your pet to and from the clinic


Thanks to our partnership with Alabama Spay and Neuter Clinic (ASNC), discounted rates make this program possible. Every owner will also take home a small bag of dog food and pet care gifts when they pick up their pet.

This program is sponsored by Ken Jackson with The Remy Fund + Our Community Foundation for a Greater Birmingham. The impact is huge:

• One female Pit Bull can produce 14 puppies every year.

• In just six years, that can multiply to 67,000 puppies.

• By fixing 100 dogs, we’re preventing countless unwanted litters and saving

thousands of lives.

Join us to “Fix-A-Bull” and give Pit Bulls the brighter future they deserve. Call or text 205-243-9946 for more information.


This program is only availale while funds last

Love seeing targeted programs like Fix-A-Bull that tackle the specific overpopulation challenges with pit-type dogs in shelters. The name alone tells you exactly what the mission is, which is such a smart way to rally the community behind spay/neuter efforts. For anyone looking to start something similar in their area, I've been using https://ai-for-music.com

This Fix-A-Bull program is such a needed step for Pit Bull and mix owners in our community. Having low-cost options could really help reduce the number of these dogs ending up in shelters. I've been looking https://seedance-2.us

This Fix-A-Bull initiative is exactly what shelters need — affordable spay/neuter care can drastically reduce pit bull overpopulation. I've been looking for low-cost programs like this in my area. https://image-to-video.org

The Fix-A-Bull program is such a vital initiative for pit bull mixes, who are often overrepresented in shelters. This kind of targeted support can make all the difference — I've been using https://wanxaivideo.com

I've been following the Fix-A-Bull program and the stats on pit bull shelter intake are eye-opening. It's great to see a structured approach that actually works. https://image-to-3d.org
