Greater Huntsville Humane Society Reviews

Wonderful staff!

My little dog of 15 went to heaven two weeks ago. I took 23 cans of dog food to the shelter. All the ladies were so nice and made me smile again. If I get another baby in the furture it will be from them!

They take great pride in their animals.

Absolutely great 👍, friendly people, helpful also

Great place 👍

Did not have what I was looking for

Looking at potentially adopting a dog from here; their team was very kind and helpful. So grateful for the work they do.

The ladies at the Humane society were so helpful and polite. It was a very pleasant experience!

I had a negative experience adopting a cat from GHHS. First thing is the adoption system they have is flawed and a bit cruel. When you apply online for a cat, they can take days to approve your background. A bit frustrating but I get it. The problem is, if you don't pick up the cat as soon as possible once they approve your application, another person can come with an approved application right after you and get the cat. This makes it really stressful to wait days to know if you can even get the cat and then randomly getting a called mid day saying, hey come get this cat now or someone else can take it. This feels unfair that if I was busy the next day, someone could get the cat even though I applied first. Second, and more pressing matter, there is a lot of miscommunication when it comes to the health of their animals. We were told that the cat we wanted to adopt is getting over a contagious virus and that she should be done with her meds. We were given the cat and sent home. she looked bad but they told us she was fine and that she was getting over it. I took her home to our other cats and called again to see if I could get more information since she was clearly sick. They then tell us that they have medication for her that we could pick up if we really wanted to. So we did. We had a scheduled appointment with a vet 3 days later through the GHHS to get her spayed. The vet says she is very sick with a high fever. The GHHS tells the vet on the phone that they never treated her for this virus when they told us they did. So they sent us home with a cat who was contagiously sick knowing we had other cats, lied to us about her still being sick, didn't tell us she needed medication until after we got home, and then told the vet that they never gave her meds for something she was sick with for at least a couple days under their care. This is awful and I'm so glad my other cats didn't get sick too. Thanks to us, she is feeling better and was able to be spayed. I will never get another cat from GHHS again. (The vet they are contracted with was awesome, 5 stars to them)

Hmm. Told the CEO was the foster and would be hand picking the owner of the dog; no meet and greets allowed. Tons of room for bias. Also, speaks volumes about their CEO and which dogs he himself is “willing” to foster while others are boarded. Animal lovers beware.

We adopted our guinea pigs from here. The staff was great!

It was a real friendly and a nice experience. She is such a sweetheart we walk everyday and play a lot

This shelter was was well maintained and the staff were very helpful but we did not find our additional family member.

Amazing organization!!! Good people doing great work!

Am ready to adopt Poppy

Me and my kids loved going here and seeing all the cute dogs and cats!!!😄🐕🐈
