Today, I adopted the 3rd dog I've adopted from FLAS. The first two were perfection and the one I…read moreadopted today is so adorable. Anna at the front desk was precious and Rory was so helpful. I would highly recommend them. This is the first time I drove to the new facility and it is so impressive. And the dogs were all amazing. Had I not had my heart set on this one particular one, there were many others that would've made perfect pets. I am very happy with my connection I made today and my new pup is full of joy. He seemed rather unsure of me at first, but now that he's had a few walks, a couple naps, met some of the neighbors.....he's all over me and I have been covered in dog slobber. Amazing experience! Thank you! Joni Branscome

We've been working closely with Agape Animal Rescue as a foster home for one of their puppies the…read morepast few months. The puppy was found injured, and the organization does an incredible job making sure dogs get the proper care from veteranians and caretakers alike. They scheduled a surgery for our foster dog within the month, and gave us detailed instructions on how to take care of him post operation. The organization is guided by animal behaviorists who offer numerous Zoom session classes on how to train dogs of any age. To get dogs adopted, Agape takes great care making sure dogs are matched across several categories to adoring homes. Everything this organization does is thorough and thoughtful, ensuring dogs are properly cared for. If you're hoping to adopt a dog or help foster one, this is an excellent organization to work with!

This organization is pretty big and they have need for volunteers, fosters, interns (can do for college credit), employees, adopters, and donations. This month, they helped Animal Rescue Corps with Operation unbridled Spirit and saved a bunch of puppy mills dogs! Help them out! They make fostering really a great experience and are looking for year-round fosters, temporary/ short term fosters (for long term fosters who go on vacation, etc), and emergency fosters for cases of hoarding or puppy mill closures. They also do a bunch of events to fundraise like the upcoming Agape Animal Ball on October 19th!

Right now, they do a lot to rescue animals and educate individuals on "fixing" their pets. They also do a lot in giving a voice to animals when it comes to legislation about animal cruelty. Once they get the proper funding to setup their adoption center/ sanctuary, they will be able to grow further as an organization meaning they can rescue more animals- parter with Animal Rescue Corps and the Humane Society of the United States with hoarding or puppy mills cases and do even more with other things like maybe having a spay/neuter clinic. Big things are on the horizon for this nonprofit! I haven't done much with animal rescue through them, but I've helped with fundraising in the hope that they can set up their sanctuary soon! Big dreams :) upcoming events: Oct 5, 2013- Dogstravaganza at 2605 Winford Avenue Nashville, TN 37211 Oct 12, 2013- Barktoberfest at 1973 New Hwy 96 West Franklin, TN 37064

I like GHHS! I love that they are a no kill facility! I love their online posts of available…read moreanimals (and they are not limited to dogs and cats, they have at times, ducks, gerbils, rabbits, horses, all Gods' critters!!) I got my previous feline here. The building is older; however, it is well maintained and not dated in terms or architecture. After grieving my previous feline who succumbed to renal failure, I was finally ready for a new furry friend! The greatest aspects of adopting here are the cats and dogs are separate, and there is a "visiting room" [my words, not theirs] where you first select the cats you want to get to know better and then take them to the "visiting room" which is in the same building, just a smaller and more "homey" feeling room, to spend as long as you would like with them. IMO, this is critical to ensure you and the cat or kitten are actually good fits for each other. I spent several 30-45-minute sessions at GHHS doing just this, and when I narrowed my selection to the cat I would rename Dio, I knew he was the cat for me!! The volunteers were friendly and helpful. Those at the checkout area when I returned on Saturday to pick up Dio, were not overly friendly, but who cares? You're only filling out your application, paying the fees, and collecting your new family member. I don't need a welcome wagon, or parade to complete this part. It's nice I got a "kitty kit" which consisted of some cat food, cat treats, and a cat blanket! Also, Dio was neutered and up to date on shots. Thanks, GHHS, for having this nice facility and welcoming those considering adopting a pet who really want to get a good fit and to prevent bringing the animal back due to some personality issues or behavioral issues.

I tried a couple of other shelters in Birmingham and Nashville, but this was my best experience by far. I came across a dog on the website, and immediately called because she seemed perfect. They were incredibly friendly and answered every single question I had about her and the adoption process. When I finally got to drive over and meet her they were so kind and thoroughly walked me through all the steps of adoption. I couldn't recommend this place more! Their staff and volunteers are both so friendly, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

What a great organization MACC is!…read more I recently participated in a volunteer day and they really do everything they can to help the sweet animals. The staff are so great and keep all the kennels as clean as possible. Each of the dogs get out twice a day for walks or yard time, but the more volunteers they get the better care the animals get. If you ever have an extra hour in your day, swing by and walk a pup. They will be so appreciative!

But when I finally got inside to drop off a stray cat I found, they told me they had no space and I'd need to make an appointment. That's something they easily could've told me when I asked at the door where to drop the cat off. Instead, they let me waste my time waiting around for nothing. The whole process felt disorganized and inconsiderate, especially when I was just trying to help an animal in need.

I was given all the information I needed to comply with their very efficient process. It was my first visit to this facility. I have know it for years but was under a certain idea that it was just for low income individuals or feral animals. I had an opportunity to see my sweet friend and the director of the facility and she informed me that that is a common misconception. She said they take all folks and most animals. There are a few dog type they don't spay or neuter. They did an exceptionally wonderful job with my asshole cat. She would not wear the cone or a sleeve over the surgery. So, I just had to watch her and she did great. The wound healed great. She is still an asshole but a smidge calmer. I actually was not charged anything due to the fact that I am on Medicare, so it was a great value to me. My plan is to donate to them through their wish list/amazon. Thanks for all you all do for the animals
