Compassionate, friendly and understanding when I had rehome my sister's emotional support cat, "Runt".

I have only been here 1 time. It was about 8-9 years ago. But my dog was the only black dog in there. I fell in love instantly! I got him at supposedly 6 months old. He has been the best thing that had ever happened to me. He was the easiest dog ever! Only had 2 accidents and never did that again and has only chewed up 1 thing that didn’t belong to him his whole life. He is so well mannered and was to easy to teach basic OB! I really wish there was a way to connect with the shelter to try and get more pictures from when he was there of him!

I'll explain why I love this place!!! I had a great Dog for 3 years until he died back in 2017. Sargeant taught me more than anything I could ever teach him. Not really ever having experienced what people call " unconditional love" Sargeant was happy every day i was lucky to be his "pet human". Having a tough outer skin and a tougher heart, when he died I understood all to well what that love was all about!! It affected me so deeply I cried every time I would have to explain his passing. Never experiencing loss like that, and not wanting to feel the pain of losing that again. I was determined to not to ever hurt like that again so I gave up on a pet of any kind. Until I walked into the Jefferson city animal shelter.( just to look). Well they had only 1 young dog available, when I saw "rudy" with a cone around his head, I stuck my hand in the small cage and he put his head inside my palm, Choked up and holding back a flood of emotions I walked to the officer at the desk and asked "how much" for Rudy. He said $100.00 bucks. Having lost my job because of covid 19, I knew it was going to hurt to use the little cash i had but I was not going to just walk away and leave him. So I borrowed the cash. And the next day like a child waiting for the night to pass so Santa would come, I took out enough money to get a 50lb bag of gravy train. And i brought "Rudy" home. We walked from the shelter to Marshall street. Before I reached my apartment, I changed his name to honor the only one who really taught me that unconditional love is something that comes from a place inside each and every creature that is alive, and once you feel it, you'll never look at love the same way ever again. you may see me and "Sarge" walking downtown as i teach him the same way I did Sargeant. It's pretty cool to know how much Sargent taught me. Sarge and I are a perfect fit, like Sargent before him, I'm proud to be the human he picked to be his friend when he put his head in the palm of my hand!!! At that brief moment i understood what Sargent TAUGHT me and it flooded my entire being,.. it was then for the first time in my life I understood "unconditional love"

My dog was hit and killed over the weekend. I was told I had 5 business days to make arrangements for his body. I do so 2 business days later and they said “that dog has already been disposed of”…huh?! How is that a thing. Definitely made it worse for a grieving family who wanted to cremate their family member and instead got told “he was disposed off”

About 3 or 4 months ago I took a sweet female dog to this place. I checked back and encouraged them to let me know if she was available for adoption. That was the last time I heard from them. I sent 2 emails. I'm fearful they just euthanized her?

After three trips to look at cats we finally decided on sweet shy little Henry. The staff is knowledgeable and you can tell they love the animals.
