Love at First Sight! is a puppy and kitten adoption center located right in the heart of Music City, Tennessee. Since 1995 we have adopted over 8,500 pets to loving homes and families in Nashville while emphasizing the importance of responsible pet ownership. Years ago, Nashville veterinarians, Dr. Craig Prior and Dr. Grif Haber, were tired of seeing so many stray and abandoned pets in the middle Tennessee area and chose to act on this issue. So many dogs and cats every day are stranded, abandoned, or taken to a shelter because they are unable to be taken care of.

Each week, pets are added to our website as well as Facebook and Instagram (@lafspetadoption). We welcome you to come and meet them and if you are interested in applying, you can fill out an application in person! We want to make certain that every animal adopted goes to a loving home where it will be well cared for and because of this, our application will ask a number of questions necessary for our screening process.
We offer an affordable, convenient monthly payment plan that covers the total cost of adoption and all medical procedures that we believe are absolutely necessary for your pet's first year of life. Never before has it been easier to adopt a pet while getting their complete annual wellness and health in an affordable monthly plan!.

I adopted a kitten from here. I love my kitten, but paying so much a month even with no visits? If you need to bring your kitten to the vet every month for a year, your kitten is very ill. I feel bad for all the kitties there because they don't know that the organization is just using their cute faces as money makers to scam people. This place isn't willing to compromise or anything with pricing even if you're not in the best place to be spending $57 a month ON TOP of paying the same amount or more to visit the vet clinic.
You either pay it, or you don't get the animal. You'd be better off just buying from a reputable breeder for the same pricing. Oh yeah, and they won't fix your kitten until 6 months of age. This means your kitten could go through a heat cycle for no reason. Spaying before the first heat cycle almost eliminates the possibility for mammary cancer. But they don't care.
At all. Please don't send your precious babies here. And don't adopt from here. Nashville Humaine is the best place to adopt a dog or a cat. They dont overcharge and actually care about your fur babies. Everyone looking at the reviews clearly sees the amount of people having the same issue. I saw them too. I ignored them. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Oh goodness this place is a dream! We came to play with kitties and there weren't any so I recommend checking their social media first to see what babies are in that day. We still had fun with the puppers though and it was everything I'd hope it was. Also made me feel so positive knowing that these babies don't last here long. They are quick to be adopted :' Just beware, parking can be tough. tight small spaces and few of them.

Really sad that I have to leave a review like this. This is a pet store and not an adoption center. They only seem to care about making money versus actually placing their sweeties into good homes. We walked in to meet the kittens and I fell in love with the little orange one. I come from out of town and also work for the airlines so I have travel benefits.
Not to mention, I also work with a nonprofit where we transport animals from one state to another for foster and adoptions. When I told the woman at this adoption center my situation, she explained that all the animals there needed to be covered with VCA across the street for a full year. And that if I wanted to take the kitten, it would be about $900 That. Is. Insane.
So we walked across the street to VCA for clarity. Not only were they shocked that we were told $900, they also seemed confused so they called the woman on the phone. Upon speaking with her, they explain to me that she will not adopt out to anyone who lives more than an hour outside of Nashville. And that the fees are $750 for 1 year of medical bills at VCA.
We go back across the street a second time and ask the woman if we could get her a letter from my veterinarian explaining that the kitten would be in perfect hands and if we could please adopt her for a reasonable flat fee and take her elsewhere for care. The woman changes her story AGAIN and says that she won't adopt the kitten out because she only has 2 and wants to stay open through the weekend.
That I can try another facility since it's kitten season. Are you serious? The fact that there are people like her who claim to care about the well-being of their animals, when in actuality it's just a money making business, disgust me.

I have brought them 20 puppies over the years. (BAD, ME!) Upon bringing a fur baby to them, you go immediately across the street to the vet. They examine them and give them their 1st round of shots. Then they go back to LAFS and are placed on their website. I felt great about taking them there. I do know only responsible people can adopt. I have sent dozens of people there to adopt puppies and kittens. Please, do NOT GIVE away your animals! Often they are used AS BAIT in dog fights! You will feel great about visiting them for either to adopt or give them your animals and let them find them a happy home!

A class act place! I found a few puppies under my house and called "Love at First Sight". The lady's I spoke to on the phone were very sweet and worked me into their busy schedule on short notice due to my days off. I came in and they directed me across the street to have the puppies looked at by the Animal Hospital. Everyone over at the Vet was exceptionally kind and helpful as well!
I was in and out in a matter of 30 mins. I left knowing that the puppies were in the best place I could have taken them and it wouldn't be long before they found their forever home! Thank you to Love at First Sight and the Animal Hospital! Great People all around!
