Cruelty to animals is not only inhumane, it is illegal. The Mobile SPCA helps educate people about the laws regarding cruelty to animals. We have been instrumental in the seizure of wantonly abused animals and the prosecution and conviction of their owners.
Complaints of all animal neglect, abuse and cruelty must first be directed to your local animal shelter. This includes dogs, cats, exotics and livestock. If the shelter does not take action in a timely manner please call the Mobile SPCA and we will contact the shelter, too.

A citizen residing in Dauphin Island, Satsuma, Chickasaw, Mount Vernon, Creola, Semmes needs to contact their local Police Department or enforcement agency. Mobile County Animal Control has no authority to enter and enforce any laws within these municipalities unless they request assistance through the Mobile County Commission to deal with their animal issues. If you can’t get the appropriate police department to answer, and the animal is sick or injured, Mobile County Animal Control MAY take it, but as these cities have their own Animal Control departments, you will be charged a drop off fee.
