Shipping Pets

Huntsville and Madison County require dogs and cats to be registered. Proof of vaccination is required for registration.  Microchipping your furry friend helps track them if they stray. A leash law is enforced in city limits and in park areas. To reach the local animal control agencies call:
City of Huntsville Animal Control, 256-883-3782.
Madison County Animal Control, 256-532-1519.

All animals much be microchipped and registered with the Veterinary Treatment Facility if residing on post. Registration mush be completed within three working days of moving into family housing. Call family housing about restrictions of certain breeds. 

When transporting a pet, please consider the overall health, age and disposition. Some pets love to travel while others are stressed out by change. Keep the pets crated or on a leash until they adjust to the new location. Alabama has hot summers, so never leave a pet in a vehicle if the temperature rises.

Health certificates are required for OCONUS travel. Please visit the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website for specific information on current requirements for each country. If a health certificate is needed, please contact the Veterinary Center for additional information and availability of this service.
