Just want to add additional comments on how great Amanda was with us…read more - Very good communication, she told us what she is working on and how our dog receives the training with videos - The training itself is amazing, still can not believe in just 3 weeks our dog is completely different, in a good way. - Owner training, I would say a good if not the main part of the dog ownership is in the owner hands, and Amanda explained very well how WE should read and understand our dog. It will change your perspective 180 degrees - And the last after the training itself she came to see how the dog is doing after we received him came back. Honestly I did not expect it, and was surprised in a good way, that she made time for us. Overall HIGHLY recommend, if I would need another training for other dog, 100% will come back to Amanda. Thank you again Amanda! You are the best!

BAD GROOMER: After getting my dog groomed here several times, the groomer then called to say that…read moremy dog bit her and I had to medicate the dog next time. I medicated the next time and the groomer canceled last minute while I was on the way. My dog has been groomed by several other groomers since and they all had a great experience with my dog. Clearly the groomer was rushing and did not make my dog feel comfortable. I will not have her groomed here again. BOARDING: When the women came out to get my dog during drop off, my dog was anxious and did not want to go inside with them--big red flag. I always chose the In-home Stay boarding service since my dog has separation anxiety. For a recent out of town trip, I booked that service as usual. K9 made no attempt to tell me that the In-Home Stay was not available due to renovations and I was not informed until I arrived that morning. I called to get an update on my dog later that day and I was told she was very uncomfortable and scared. The next day I called all day long and NO ONE picked up the phone. I also left voicemails that were not returned. The next day, I got an update that my dog was doing great but I didn't believe that. I will never board her again after this experience. I have not tried the daycare.

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!

I got a quote of bloodwork to check his kidney levels because he's on phenobarbital for seizures. I was told because it was a year since he's been in he would need the exam also. I was quoted $124.00. She had his name, looked up his records etc. I confirmed $124.00. My husband just got back and they charged us a whopping $337.30. Flippin' ridiculous. Some BS about needing a different blood test because of his age, he just turned 6, to the tune of $172.50, more than the initial quote I was given. Needless to say we won't be back. We WOULD NOT recommend this place to anyone. I have talked to the dr and no refund will be issued for the absurd blood test that they deem important for the pets health. I'm the owner of said pet, I should determine what is of importance. They told my husband they would only issue one month of drugs without this blood test. Scam to get your money in my opinion.
