This family owned company is operated by some of the most passionate, loving, and dedicated people…read moreI've met. A small family bought an old greyhound race track and converted it into a huge animal shelter for lost, surrendered, and stray animals. All the animals are well cared for and healthy but are in need of forever homes. I was incredibly impressed by the owner Andrea, her son Tommy, and daughter Nadine. I would recommend this shelter to anyone interested in adding a new memeber(s) to their family. With our adoption of our dog Sassy, we also received her medical records with vaccinations, and microchip with registration. Our new doggie is a happy and healthy girl thanks to TCAR.

The facility is very clean, the staff is amazing, and the animals are happy! I highly recommend…read morethis rescue.

We adopted our sweet Amellia thru Sanctuary in the South…read more Our vet said she had never seen a rescue so medically sound. She was spayed, chipped and had ALL her shot PLUS heartworm tested AND they gave her heartworm and flea and tick prevention. She is sweet and exactly what Allie and her volunteers described. She is living her best life and enriching ours. We have rescued before and she is by far the best cared.for dog we have rescued. If you want to rescue I highly recommend Sanctuary in the South.

Every time I go there in person it is fairly clean, and the staff are frazzled, but friendly…read moreenough. They always seem overworked and like they need more staff in the 10 or more years I've been going there, and they almost never answer their phones so it's very hard to ask questions or make an appointment. I wonder how many more people they could reach if they just answered their phones (clinic side especially, rescue side is a smidge better)?! Heck I'll do it, I'd even take minimum wage to do it. FYI they only take animals in from the Animal Control next door, so owner surrenders or found animals have to go through Animal Control. I found this kitten in Jason's Deli parking lot emaciated and missing an eye but mewing and coming up to us for help. We named him Ragetti and called the rescue to tell them how absolutely sweet he was, and they told us to surrender him to Animal Control then call them so they can pick him up. Animal Control said they would normally euthanize injured feral cats, but I insisted he was sweet to everyone and deserved a chance and stayed until PAWS picked him up! After they fixed his eye we visited him at the shelter as he gained weight so he would stay socialized and sweet, and he was adopted within a couple of weeks !

We fostered a dog from Paws Humane Society for two weeks and then officially adopted the dog two…read moreweeks later. Unfortunately, after the adoption, the dog attacked our child and other animals in our home. Our adoption contract states that Paws Humane Society would take the dog back if necessary. We were initially told that we could return the dog, but once they realized we live in Alabama rather than Georgia, they refused to honor what we had been told and did not follow through with the terms outlined in the contract. Rather than working with us to resolve the situation, Paws Humane Society proceeded to take us to court, resulting in significant legal expenses and financial hardship for our family. This was especially disappointing because our intention from the beginning was to support a local organization and provide a home for a dog in need. Based on our experience, I would strongly encourage others to carefully review all contracts, policies, and return provisions before adopting. We felt unsupported during a difficult situation and believe Paws Humane Society failed to uphold the commitments outlined in its own agreement.

This shelter is all right. I wish they could update their website with all the current pets and…read moretheir pictures a little more, but then again, animal turnover can be high, and they're a non-profit with limited resources. So just be aware that there may be more animals at the LCHS than shown on the website. We adopted a cat from the LCHS a few years ago, and she captured our hearts and was just the best companion. The shelter isn't huge, but the facilities are a step up from the old location on 280, where I volunteered back in the stone ages. From recent visits, I love how you're able to freely interact with the cats and kittens (not sure about dogs), and they also pipe in music for the felines. When we adopted our cat, we weren't able to adopt the same day since the adoption coordinator was out but I'm not sure how it is now. Anyway, adopt a shelter pet!!!!

Extremely rude and unprofessional. Told my mom and I that we couldn't buy a cat due to the fact…read morethat 4 years ago a cat that we bought from them had sadly died from what we think was from a hawk. LAUGHED in our face after my mom said the cat had a good life then continued to tell us that the cat didn't have a good life and made us seem like terrible cat owners. I am honestly surprised that the employee Monique is still in hire due to her terrible attitude. Hopefully the cat we walked in to adopt finds a nice family because clearly we were not good enough for them. I would also like to add that my family and I are extreme cat owners and the cat would have had a WONDERFUL life.
