We adopted little Pumpkin two weeks ago and we are so happy we made that decision. The shelter was so nice and everything is so clean. All the staff there were friendly and helpful, they go through every single thing in detail and also send pumpkin’s history to me right away. Pumpkin is so adorable and playful, she always full of energy and loves to run like bunnies at home. The first few days at home were an adjustment for us, but now she becomes a best friend of her big brother, Jimmy. I truly encourage anyone thinking about getting a pet to adopt, you can get a chance to visit “Best Friends Animal Society ”, you will love there.

I went there to find a cat and had a wonderful experience I was extremely nervous and multiple people told me about the cats their personality. It was a great experience. You can even go in just to pet the cats! I adopted a wonderful cat Katniss with the help of a worker Jasmine she was wonderful and went above and beyond. I also love the fact this place takes in the overflow from other shelters. All the animals are so cared for and vaccinated, fixed, and chipped! They have adoption events and you can even foster to adopt. Really a wonderful experience and I can't thank Jasmine enough for all her help.

Truly had the best experience adopting our sweet cat here. We were given all of her medical information, and never pressured to adopt. We were even given a bag of food and treats for her. All of the staff and volunteers were very kind. Would 1000% come here again and recommend it to everyone I know. This is syrup who we renamed to blackberry :)

Had a wonderful Foster and Adoption experience here. I started fostering Fly and then decided to adopt him last month. All the staff at the shelter were very friendly and nice (compared with some bad experiences I had at another shelter, will not say the name here). The foster team (Leah) was really helpful and I can tell they truly cared about the animals. Also they responded to my emails very fast.

Came in on a Saturday to look at the cats they had up for adoption, we took our time finding the perfect fit for our family and had help with any questions from staff/volunteers. We had a great experience with signing off on paperwork and a nice explanation with administering his medicine. I even got a voucher for a $25 first vet visit and a bag of food. This is Mickey.

Got my 2 month old kitty from here last week!! Love this place!! Clean, organized, friendly genuine staff. The only thing that kind of triggered me was that all the cats that were small all had cones they looked so annoyed.. maybe wait till they recover a bit before so many people walk in and out touching them? Butttt again LOVE THIS PLACE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO .
