Sylacauga Targets Stray Dogs on Highway 280 | Birmingham News

Sylacauga is moving fast to tackle its stray dog problem on Highway 280, with city council set to vote on a bold plan involving the Greater Birmingham Humane Society — who’ll handle capture for free, using traps on private land and keeping all ops secret to avoid sabotage. The city will foot its own bill, but can later choose to help cover Humane Society costs. Dogs caught will be checked, vaccinated, and then officially become the city’s responsibility for up to seven days before adoption or other decisions. Plus, a new feeding ban in the business district is being eyed to prevent interference — because feeding could derail the whole operation.
