My application for the cat of my DREAMS got passed over because the person answering emails was annoyed that I was going to drive 5 hours to pick her up! Seriously offensive and preposterous. This is a shelter? Back to searching for a shelter that actually wants to pair pets with owners who will give them the most loving homes. So disappointing. I’ve been looking a cat like this for months… This place obviously doesn’t care about animals.

I am super disappointed and upset. I applied for two beautiful dogs. After applying a week later I received a phone call saying that all they needed to do was reach out to my latest veterinarian and my 3 references. I called about a week after I was informed of this to see how my application process was going. Talk to the front desk lady and she was super excited about us adopting those two dogs. She even asked me to schedule an appointment soon to come meet and greet the animals to make sure we were a good fit. After waiting another additional week to give them two weeks to reach out to my three references and veterinarian I did not receive any phone calls no emails back regarding my application. After emailing them a third time regarding my application update, I received a follow-up email that my application was denied. They gave me no reason whatsoever just that it was denied. I do not recommend anyone getting any dog here at all!!!!!! They got my families and I hopes up for no reason. They dragged me around for weeks without keeping me updated about what was going on with my application. They never answer the phone nor kept me updated.

We love our new kittens. They are the perfect addition to our family. Great experience with adopting them.

I applied to adopt a cat. I literally went and visited the cat every day for two weeks. Went through adoption application and was told my reference numbers were wrong so I immediately wrote them back and in that short time they told me that the cat was magically adopted. I wrote them and said please keep me posted if it falls through. I still go every day and the cat is still there with no “I’m adopted” sign yet the cat above him (Princess) has a sign on her cage. I wrote them and asked if they were sure they had the correct cat I was asking about… no response. Begged them to respond. Still no response. Instead of LYING and denying one of your animals a warm, loving home, you let it rot in that cage. I will continue to go see Oreo every day since I truly loved and wanted him and would have given him a beautiful life. We have kids and other friendly animals he would have loved. Since they don’t seem to care about their animals, I will continue to go give the poor cat some love. I wrote them and told them they could have just been honest if there was some reason they didn’t want me to adopt him. But of course, no response. And the responses I got were very short and bland. No feeling behind them at all. They don’t care. Clearly. Praying Oreo finds a good home. Shame on you guys. Absolutely no need to lie to me… all I’m trying to do is give the animal they put up for adoption to a good home. Myself being adopted, that mattered to me a lot.

Ridiculous to put animals in need of adoption in a public store so you can see them and help by opening your home and then be given the run around when adoption time comes. Others were in Petco speaking to the wonderful volunteer who was caring for the cats and said the same thing: they couldn't get anyone to contact them back. Having seen many cats there and speaking to the volunteers who had nothing but praise for the shelter and adoption process, we finally put in an application for a cat we thought would fit our home well. After 2 weeks of back and forth, numerous times of emailing them vet references, etc., they stopped communicating only to finallly answer and tell me the vet said they never had me as a client which is a lie!!! I even spoke to one of 2 vets I provided who were expecting their call and never received it! The volunteers had told me that the shelter was really great at picking out great homes. Apparently not! Cats I had seen there and were told had many adoption apps are still sitting in cages at Petco. It kills me that these people care ZERO about these animals and are the reason that they are still without families and risk being euthanized or spending their lives in a shelter. Shameful.

My story is very much like many of the others. Was told everything was good did not see any problems. Called to make arrangements for pickup and was informed the "board chose not to adopt to me". Made me feel like a secondary human. I think it is a power trip for some of the "board". By the way we were denied for the exact reason that we explained and answered for previously. Not a good place to deal with. Very demeaning. I wonder when they were going to let us know, or were they. Not professional in any way. Avoid at all cost. You may want rethink if you are planning on donating to them.
