We adopted Sammy, a 4 1/2 year old cat, in December. We drove 10 hours from Florida to adopt him as…read morewe KNEW he was meant for us! This Shelter is the best we have seen in our 40+ years of adopting pets! Clean, efficiently run, well organized and truly caring staff. They went out of their way to ensure that this "long distance" adoption took place. Sammy was in great condition and he easily adapted to a long car ride and a new home. We feel as if he has been with us forever.

Our cat disappeared awhile back and we went here to check if someone picked him up, the staff seemed genuinely concerned and gave us great tips to help find our missing cat.

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!!!!

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.

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.
