Now, my review is based on a 2014 visit so please bear that in mind. Staff was friendly and helpful, and accomodated me completely. But the shelter, at that time, was overcrowded and they were getting 300 cats a month… so this is a high kill rate shelter. They don’t have much of a choice than that because there’s only so much state budget that they can get and they have to use that budget to handle all the animals that they have. It’s not an easy job. When I went inside, I saw so many animals. They were all caged, and it was very difficult for me because I knew I couldn’t save them all… but I went in and got two black kittens. Not many adult cats in there… It’s difficult to see, but if you are going there to save an animal, that’s wonderful.

Great people! We transport animals and they were very friendly, willing to work with us on picking up 3 dogs going to Michigan and not a lot of shelters are willing to do that. The dogs look healthy, well-fed, and exhibit no fear or stress behaviors. Y'all have a great place here!

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. One of the guys who worked there was completely & utterly RUDE. sent us away the first day saying they were “closed” but it was during their open time frame. The second time we tried, the same dude told us that the kitten would be euthanized & handled the kitten AGGRESSIVELY. We tried to save a kittens life that was lost, but ended up putting it on its death bed. Definitely going back to get it before they kill it. Only reason why there is a star, is because I can’t give this place 0 stars.

Called about 2 aggressive dogs in neighborhood which are not any of my neighbors dogs. Called at 0700 and at 1230 Called back to see if a unit has been sent and was told no because they are cleaning. The 2 dogs have killed 6 of my rabbits. And tried to attack other animals. Also is being aggressive toward people.

Was not impressed. Though the info stated they were available from 11 to 3pm to look at the dogs, when we got there we were told that we had to register an account with a third party website and fill out an application there. I'm not interested in receiving emails after I've already got a dog and that was required for registration. Their prices were higher than all the other places and they don't spay/neuter the animals on location; they give a voucher to have it done at a vet. I didn't feel that they were genuinely concerned about the animals being adopted.
