I went there to get my new doggie vaccinated for rabies and get the microchip. I had an appointment and it was very easy. I was also able to get the license which is going to be mailed to me.
The adoption counselors are just wonderful. The cats are really well taken care of and the staff is amazing.
Never bring stray animals here, they are a high kill shelter. We brought in a stray cat and it was euthanized the same day, they didn't warn us or give us a chance to bring it to the vet despite telling them we would. I called a week later to check on the cat and they lied to me, saying it was still alive. I called another week later and was finally told it was killed the same day I brought it in. The cat was eating and in good spirits when we brought it in and they wouldn't tell us why it was killed. I also will never understand why I was lied to on the phone. Please do not bring stray animals here, there are other responsible shelters that do not euthanize.
Took my daughter here when she was ready to adopt. She had looked on their site beforehand to check if they had any cats of a certain age group she was looking for. Once we were inside the facility, we could just browse around and eventually tell an employee which cat we were interested in. The adoption process was easy and we left with an adorable cat that day. Happy to report that the kitty is very happy at his new home since 18 months 😀 We were amazed to see so many different creatures up for adoption! Bunnies, guinea pigs etc. No dogs at this location Update: The humane society has a program to neuter Community Cats, as well get them vaccinated. For free! We also took a stray kitty here that hangs out on our patio, we've been feeding to get him neutered etc. Also: their vaccinations program is very affordable!
Everything deserves 5 stars here. Staff interacting with me were so friendly and helpful even if I wasn’t expressing interest (yet) in adopting. Facility was super clean and cats/bunnies/guinea pigs have ample space to themselves. Ame was an AMAZING adoption counselor! She was honest, kind, and patient throughout the whole process even though we were going a little past the cutoff time. After adopting, we had all the paperwork we needed, + a bag of Purina cat food to take home. Carrier was bought there since we didnt bring one (definitely would bring one incase they run out!) Overall so happy with our new pet cat, Chip!
While the building and area weren't notably attractive, it was easy to navigate to, and easy to identify the exact location at 572 Airport Rd., in Oceanside. Reception was pleasant and their organization was excellent when it came to matching an adoption counselor to a pet seeker. It took about 3 minutes to match us with Lauren, our adoption counselor, and they texted us to let us know she'd be coming. We spent about an hour browsing around and Lauren was very patient and helpful. She showed us every cat we asked about - nearly every one - and explained what details were known about the cat's history. They were controlling an upper respiratory infection in the cat kennels, so we weren't able to touch or hold any of the kitties. I appreciated that policy for the animals' sake. Unfortunately, that did make it difficult to be decisive. I mentioned to Lauren that I also wanted to check out the Escondido campus. She even helped with that by showing us their database of available kittens and told us that they may have petting areas. (They did not.) While I didn't choose a kitty from the Oceanside campus, I would definitely go back, and also recommend them to anyone looking for a pet.
