City Targets Stray Dogs on Highway 280 | Birmingham News

Sylacauga’s bold new plan to tackle Highway 280’s stray dog crisis is heating up — with a city council deal that brings in the Greater Birmingham Humane Society for humane captures and vet care, while cracking down on feeding to boost capture success. Mayor calls it a win-win for animals and local businesses, but not everyone’s on board — one council member questioned the need for outside help, noting local rescues offered equipment. No timeline or dog count yet from the Humane Society, but they’ll report back in 45 days. This isn’t just about cleanup — it’s about balancing compassion, safety, and community needs in a complex, evolving situation.
