Prattville shelter seeks home for friendly Lab mix Bambi
A 5-month-old Lab mix found on a busy highway is now at Prattville/Autauga Humane Society, where staff say Bambi is friendly and ready for a family.
Bambi, a 5-month-old female Lab mix found on a busy highway, has become the latest example of how quickly a stray can move from the roadside into the county shelter system in Prattville. No owner came forward to claim her, and the Prattville/Autauga Humane Society is now presenting her as a friendly, playful and affectionate puppy who could fit well with children and other dogs.
The shelter says Bambi is likely to grow into a large adult dog, which makes her a practical match for a household that has the space, time and consistency to raise her through puppyhood. That matters in Autauga County, where shelter intake is not abstract: each lost or abandoned animal adds to the work of staff who must provide care, attention and medical prep before a pet can leave the building with a new family. Bambi’s case also underscores how many strays enter the system from roads and neighborhoods rather than from planned surrenders.
Prattville/Autauga Humane Society says it serves more than 2,500 animals each year and requires pets to be vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered, or scheduled for spay/neuter, before adoption. For dogs and puppies, the adoption fee is $120. That fee includes microchip registration, a discounted spay/neuter certificate, deworming, vaccinations as age and law require, and a courtesy veterinary exam at participating offices. The shelter says it is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Sundays, and does not accept online adoptions.
The shelter is located at 1009 Reuben Rd. in Prattville, while Autauga County Animal Control lists 162 West 4th Street in Prattville and a county cell number of 334-361-2500. Taken together, those offices show the local path a stray dog can travel, from pickup to shelter care to adoption. For Bambi, the next step depends on a household willing to give a young Lab mix a stable home, and every adoption this week helps free up room for the next animal that comes in.
