Awful service. My mother called asking about our dog who got into a fight, she was crying and obviously scared because she was bit. We can’t get her anywhere because she’s old and we can’t get into cars, it’s difficult to keep a now 100+ lb old European Great Dane to stop jumping on another dog, not even the staff who work here would be able to if one person was doing it. Basically told my mom that she should have been more responsible and do not own dogs if they cannot handle them. To clarify, we’ve had this dog for 5+ years and was easily able to handle her until recent when it had gotten more aggressive the older she got. Very disappointing of this place.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I called about a stray wondering onto my property and hanging around my male dog (stray female in heat). They told me that because I couldn't catch her (not my job) that they would have to set traps for her and they only did that on Mondays. The dog hung around my home for about 3 days and my dog ended up getting out and following her. I was able to get my dog and hoped she would stay away. The next morning she came back WITH A PIT BULL. My dog got protective of his yard and got into a fight with it while the hound tried to break into my chicken coop. When I called the person on duty I was told that because I couldn't put hands on her (again not my job, yours) that she would be out Tuesday to set traps and that I was allowed to "do whatever means nessisary " to protect my animals. Absolutely useless.

Adopted a cat here. One of the staff said that she personally fostered him and that he had all of his vaccinations, he had a runny nose but they told us it was a cold and that sometimes cats get that when they come in but it would go away in a few days. Both of which were lies, he was unvaccinated and because of that he had distemper. When the “cold” didn’t go away we knew something was wrong, he was actively dying and was put down yesterday. I wouldn’t trust the staff, but there is plenty of sweet animals there that need homes, just keep in mind that they aren’t truthful.

1st time there. went looking for lost cat, unfortunately no luck. they did have some awesome dogs and cats. wife would have made me get lost if I had brought yet another animal home, but if your looking, good place to start. friendly professional staff, to include the young man working there, not getting paid, he went out of his way to insure I saw all the pets and each cage was clean and pets cared for, even able to settle down the excited ones. I love animals, but have enough...please if your looking for a pet, why not get one that wants and needs you as well, they need forever homes.

Obviously filled with dedicated people who are taking care of the animals they've received. I am so grateful for this service since we weren't able to take the cat that we rescued a few years ago ourselves, to our new home.
