The address is 5570 Old Hickory Boulevard and they are there Saturdays 1:00 pm - 5:30 pm and Sunday 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm. You can view available dogs for adoption at http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelterid=TN340. They are soley foster homes right now, but their goal is to build a rescue on the outskirts of Nashville. They're looking for donations of acreage in Tennessee preferably in Joelton, Whites Creek, Wilson, Smith or Dekalb County. They're also looking for skilled volunteers to help with fundraising, grantwriting, finding land and other things. They are also doing the same thing in SC in a city where this is no shelter. They would like to raise funds to build a facility that will be a huge rescue, rehab, sanctuary and education center in SC also. Kim is easy to talk to. She loves animals and this is her passion. If you want to help, just email her. I've helped with the rescue before. Its a small rescue but they do save lives! Rescues: dogs (and sometimes cats) Rescue location type: foster network only

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!

They operate with a network of volunteers who foster the adoptable cats during the week, then on the weekend they are brought to the mobile adoption center for people to come visit, love and hopefully adopt! They did a great job outfitting the mobile adoption center. It has a beautiful cat tree in the center. I heard one of their volunteers is an artist and made it specifically for Eva's Eden. There is seating around the big picture windows and toys to engage with the cats. It's not super big, so I wouldn't go with a big group. (not that there are big roaming gangs visiting cat adoptions, but you get the idea...) They pride themselves on being a no cage shelter and you can tell that the cats are really well adjusted & socialized because they are living in foster homes during the week instead of in a cage. Not only was it delightful to spend my afternoon playing with a room full of cats, but the owner and volunteers are all so warm and inviting. I've been to some shelters where I feel like I'm being sized up & judged as to whether or not I will be a fit pet parent - but here I felt like I was among friends. Everyone was extremely knowledgeable about cat care, behavior, feeding, vet visits etc. Whether this is your first cat, or you are a cat pro - they have a great vibe and are a great organization to adopt from. The timing didn't work out for us to get our 2nd kitty from them because we are moving, but I would absolutely seek them out when the time is right! Check their website for descriptions of cats available or to learn where their mobile center will be next. I haven't seen their adoptable cats on petfinder or other websites, so you'll have to go to their own website or call if you want to check on a specific gender/age availability before you go. And don't forget - adopting a pet isn't a 'for now' decision - adoption is forever!

I would never had gone back-and will never again. Kept calling me the wrong name, shaming me because I basically wouldn't spend an additional $1K for dental-I don't trust you enough to put any animal under. Already spent $300 and wish I had spent it at another vet. Also, charged me for each dog for office-which no other vet ever did. It is an integrity call for me. Worst vet I have ever been to in Nashville, NYC and Miami. Think twice on any animal brought here.

Unfortunately, he has a 35 minute commute which meant he would be gone for 10 hours a day. We didn't want to board them since he'd be there overnight but don't have anyone we felt we could impose on to walk the boys. Enter Google.... which lead me to Critter Care's website. I called Kimberly and explained the situation. We made an appointment for the next morning. As soon as we met I felt comfortable with her being in our home and taking care of our dogs. We've never had a pet sitter before and I wasn't sure how I'd feel allowing someone to come in our home without us being there. She put my mind at ease and was very attentive and overall has a calming nature. The dogs liked her right away, which I took as a really great sign! Since we have pugs, we didn't necessarily need them walked. What they really need during the day is a potty break and loads of attention. I could tell this wouldn't be a problem with Kimberly as she'd owned a pug in the past and knows their dispositions. We initially elected to have her come once a day, though she typically will come by twice. Once we realized how long the dogs would be alone, I called her to see if it would be possible to change plans. She was very flexible and accommodating despite the fact we changed times on her a few times! She's quick to respond to phone calls or texts if you don't get her on the first try. We are just so thankful to have found Critter Care and were pleasantly surprised at our last minute arrangements. If you live in the area, there's no other choice you should be considering. Her prices are very reasonable and it's so nice to be able to have your pets cared for at home where they are comfortable. Kimberly is the greatest and we will definitely be using her again.

Overall Kimberly treated our animals well. If you hire her to come twice a day, she will come early…read morein the morning and then again in the early afternoon. The dogs were fed and exercised in the back yard for probably 20-30min. We did have one experience when one of the pups pooped in the house (which is not normal), but then again they are used to going out 5 or 6 times every day. As far as how she treated us as customers, that could have been better. She sends text messages letting you know that the dogs have been out, which is nice, but if you do not text her back she has a bit of a come apart. She also requires that you let her know when you've made it home. I thought that was a little weird, but I could understand that she was looking out for the dogs best interest. In my experience she will come out on short notice, but she let me know it was inconvenient and that I "should do a better job of giving her notice."... okay, point taken... I also noticed when I got home that our furniture would be moved ever so slightly. Like the recliner or the rug would just be pulled away from where it was 1 or 2 feet from where we had it. I thought that was a bit weird too, but the dogs were okay so it wasn't a huge deal. We finally had an instance a couple of weeks ago where my wife and I were off to North Carolina to get married. This time we brought the dogs with us, but I have a couple sugar gliders that needed some attention while we were gone. I called her on the way to North Carolina just to go over the instructions I left her. While on the phone with her I realized that I had forgotten to leave her a check. I asked her if I could drop her check off in her mailbox on our way home in a few days. She agreed with not issue. On the day we came back from our wedding, she began blowing up my phone demanding that we bring her check to her as soon as we got home. She sent condescending texts explaining that we "should have known better", asking repeatedly when we would be home. I wish I saved the texts she sent, they were unprofessional and a little crazy. Those texts came as a shock to me because we had used her services probably 5 or 6 times in a 8 week period. We paid every time. We were not knew customers, yet she treated us like we were her misbehaved children all over a $51 check... By the way we did pay her as soon as we got home, exactly as we said we would. I wish she would have just said "no" when I told her that we forgot the check, because we could have easily just gotten a friend to take care of it. Over all, if you need Kimberly's service on short notice, I would give her a call. If you need someone long term, keep searching!
