Thank you Huntsville Animal shelter for a smooth adoption process of my new dog Rudy! You saw what a special dog he was and removed his crushed leg and gave him a chance. Thank you for giving him that chance and for me to have the sweetest best dog ever! Three legs don’t slow him down!

LIARS! We took 4 kittens and a mama cat that we had helped find homes for adoption via a now deleted facebook page called The Lucky Crew to animal services after we were told they would be held until they were retrieved by their new owners. Instead, we saw on their website that they were classified as "semi-feral" even though they had been socialized for 8 weeks to be adopted. The kittens' names are Soots (all black cat), Smokey (Grey-black tabby), Ozzie (Tawny and Grey with spots), and Snowball (White with black and brown spots). Mama cat, Lucky, was the only one we specifically requested to be put into the working-cat program. Instead, these LIARS turned away the people that we had specifically vetted to adopt these kittens and LAZILY threw them into the same program, claiming they were semi-feral! DISORGANIZED, UNCARING, DISHONEST PEOPLE. If you care about animals, find a no-kill shelter that is passionate about the lives they care for, because you won't find that here.

If you want a dog or cat, PLEASE ADOPT! There's such a difference in their personalities because they know that you're their knight in shining armor! Indi is the best dog I have ever had, so chill for a puppy! Very low cost to adopt, they're already fixed, & have their shots, so you can get a lifetime license for only $25! You can spend as little as that $25 too because some animals have been there for a while, so they're actually free! If I had the room, I'd take them all! 🐕🐩🐈‍⬛🐈

We adopted "Lennie" last week on the 6th. We ADORE her. She is perfect and amazing with my little one. Shelter dogs are the best. Please go adopt. I'm still new to Alabama and have never adopted here, but the staff made my experience great. "Lennie" (now Poppi), was in her kennel and shy and just seemed "distant" from the world when I came in. I bent down with my daughter and she came up to us and licked my daughter's hand. Instantly I knew we wanted to adopt her. When I was done with the paperwork, the guy brought her out and she was a different dog. Excited, happy. She jumped right in my car like she knew she belonged. We went to the park and even had doggie daycare where I work. Then I took her home and I don't remember a day she was never here. It's like she's been here ever since. Thank you Huntsville Animal Services for making our adoption process a great one. Poppi and I will always be thankful you brought us together 💜

Like most shelters, ours has many challenges. But they seem to really care about these displaced animals. I was told that as soon as the kind lady, whose son had rescued my dog, turned him in, he was recognized. I had him back before they closed for the day. His brother missed him terribly and they've been next to each other since reuniting. Thank you to the family who cared for Buddy. Thank you to the HAS staff whose diligence returned my furbaby to his brother and me.

Went to get a cat, not only were most of the cats absolutely terrified but one got out of their cage and was running around the room terrified because the staff was running after it trying to catch it. Another lady in the room proceeded to grab the cat by the tail and just traumatized it more. These people should absolutely not be working with animals, When we did see a cat that we thought would fit well with our family we got her out and spent some time with her and put her back to ask someone about adopting her. We found a worker that immediately had an attitude when we approached her and said we had to grab the yellow paper to start the process. We went back to get the ticket and wouldn’t you know it the lady that grabbed the poor kitten by the tail had grabbed the paper when she saw we were interested in the cat. It seemed that she may volunteer there because we went to speak with the previous lady that told us we needed the paper and she immediately took the lady’s side and basically said too bad.
