They were great and just so helpful. Picked out 2 kittens with the help of staff. A lotta, lotta cats. The staff seems to know all the cats very well. Real helpful with getting the cats shots and fixed.
They were very nice to work with and I just do not see how they can adopt dogs and cats for only 50.00 which includes neutering,rabies and flea pill. We adopted Sig (Frazier) and love him. He goes everywhere with us. He's so well mannered and he is so handsome!! Please adopt or if you can not have pets please donate.
We frequently donate items to the West Plains Regional Animal Shelter to help with the cost of care for the animals housed here. The volunteers do a good job keeping everything organized and running smoothly. We appreciate the service that they provide and surely wished we could house more of the displaced animals. It's heartbreaking that the shelter is always at maximum capacity.
The pens were outside. There were approximately three dogs to a pen, which I felt was really a good idea - they needed some companionship. The base of the pens were dirt. Each one had a covering/shelter to it. They were all clean. It is August, in high-heat temps, and there wasn't any overwhelming smell that I noticed. The animals looked healthy. The noise from the barking and the excitement they all shared from visiting company was deafening. All were energetic, frisky, and very happy. Of course, they seemed a bit wild from being in a pen. That is normal canine behavior. I would have had cause to worry if they weren't jumping and running around like dogs. It is obvious that this woman cares about the animals there and is operating on a shoestring budget. All the dogs will calm down once in a normal "human being" environment. I would recommend taking a look or just donating a few dollars to help out.
i adopted my beautiful boston terrier from this facility during the winter of the polar vortexes. the dogs were in outdoor kennels and each kennel pen had dog houses filled with fresh straw with several dogs to a kennel. the ground was clean with warm water for the dogs to drink and food dispencers filled with doggy kibbles. it was bitter cold the day i picked my pet but all the dogs came out of their kennel boxes to greet me. the staff was polite & professional during the adoption interview. i know that the staff may be a little distant but they do their best to find forever homes for all the animals at their facility. some applicants may not be suitable for the adoption process as they may not meet the dogs or cats needs. these applicants should not be critical of the staff as the applicants can still participate as a volunteer and work with the dogs and cats as they wait for their forever home. the applicants that are not able to adopt can help the facility by donating needed items. i am sure that the facility would consider the donations as very very helpful. so, i still have by beautiful "stang" and he is such a little sweetheart. i am very grateful to be his forever home because he is my forever companion and friend.☺🐾🐾
I adopted both of my cats from here. One was a black cat who had been in the shelter for 6 years and had terrible skin allergies, once he had a family to take the time to find the right medicine for him he has regained all his fur and is fat and happy. I also adopted a rambunctious little tabby who had been previously adopted and then returned, he is now well adjusted and a great companion for my other cat. I do not believe this place gasses animals unless it's absolutely necessary considering my cat was there for 6 years and wasn't even looked at for adoption consideration by anyone before me. However...it is a very small and dumpy place. The cats are kept in small, windowless rooms together. I have not seen the dog kennels.
