Humane Society seeks home for friendly Labrador mix Ed
Ed, a 2-year-old, 50-pound Lab mix, costs $100 to adopt and comes with neuter surgery, vaccines and a microchip after approval.
A 2-year-old, 50-pound Labrador Retriever mix named Ed could be a practical match for an Autauga County household that wants a dog already described as happy, dog-friendly and partial to tummy rubs. Humane Society of Elmore County says Ed came in as a stray and was never reclaimed, so the shelter is now looking for a permanent home instead of another week of waiting.
At $100 for a dog adoption, Ed would leave the shelter already covered by mandatory neuter surgery, basic immunizations, deworming, a microchip, a heartworm check and a rabies vaccination if he is old enough. For a family budgeting for a new pet, that fee covers several of the most expensive first steps that usually come after bringing a dog home.
The adoption process is direct. A prospective adopter first submits an application. Once approved, Humane Society of Elmore County sets an appointment to meet and adopt the animal. The shelter says adoptions are by appointment Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. after approval of the adoption application. Intake is by appointment Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The shelter is closed Sundays and major holidays. It is located at 255 Central Plank Road in Wetumpka, and staff can be reached at 334-567-3377.
Ed’s profile also reflects the larger work of the Humane Society of Elmore County. The private, nonprofit, open-admission shelter says it has operated at its current Wetumpka location for nearly twenty years and takes in more than 5,000 domestic animals each year. Its mission includes improving animals’ quality of life, preventing cruelty, stopping pet overpopulation and promoting public health and safety through education and information.
A shelter update on June 1, 2025 said HSEC took in 469 animals in May, which shows how many dogs and cats move through the system in a single month. For families in Autauga County who are ready to apply, meet Ed and finish the adoption steps, the chance to bring home a young, social dog is already in motion.
