It is listed at 617 38th St S, Birmingham, AL 35222, which places it among the local businesses of Birmingham that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as social services organization, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

This group covers shelters, breeders and the other places pet owners use: animal shelters and rescues place dogs and cats for adoption and often run low-cost vaccine and spay clinics; breeders raise puppies and kittens of particular breeds; pet cremation services and cemeteries help when a pet dies; pet photographers take portraits, often right after a fresh groom; and pet-friendly hotels and places welcome dogs. It also holds businesses that turned up next to groomers on the map but do not fit a pet category.

Hours are published for 1 day a week. The most common schedule is 9 AM–4 PM. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (205) 322-5144. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, handinpaw.org.

Birmingham is in Alabama, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Birmingham follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building.
