The Greater Birmingham Humane Society is assuming management of the Walker County Animal Services facility after issues were reported at the facility. The contact to hand management of the facility over to GBHS was discussed on Monday morning, following the decision by the Walker County Commission to temporarily close the animal services building. The management take-over begins Oct. 3, and allows for GBHS to help care for animals during the temporary closing. Walker County leaders began a search to find management for their Animal Services facility after receiving complaints from citizens regarding issues such as sanitation, staffing shortages, animal disease outbreaks and a rodent problem. Allison Black Cornelius, CEO of the Greater Birmingham Humane Society, explained that the management shift will allow the Walker Co. facility to be repaired.
