Thank you so much for helping find my daughter's kittens' new homes! Very friendly stuff ! Extremely helpful and kind!! In tears on the way having to drop them off... after the interaction, We can finally breathe, knowing they are in great hands! I believe they accept donations. If you love animals and want to help, this is absolutely one of the places I would recommend donating to!!

We got a 1 yr old kitty end of January 2024.. Everyone was real nice and the animals are very well taken care of. They provide perfect documentation of what is going on with the animals their entire stay. There are a lot of very caring people there!

Wonderful people. They definitely care about animals and what they do. Fund a stray or know someone who needs to surrender an animal? They will find a good home and have great fosters. They have an animal food pantry if you would like to donate and please come get your next fur baby here!

This is a long review, but it needs to be said.. If I could leave 0 stars I would. This place is disgusting when it comes to animal care. They claim they protect animals and do everything in their power to advocate for them but that’s far from the truth. I dropped off a stray 4/1/24 that I found while hiking. When I dropped her off I signed a paper saying I’m the one who found her and told the lady who took my info and I let her know I was interested in adopting once she passed her Eval and was all clear. As I was leaving I was told she had Ringworm and that I needed to go home and wash everything that came into contact with her. Fast forward two days, I called to get an update on her and they gave me no new information. All I was told is she was on a stray hold for 6 days and had ringworm. The Friday 4/5/24 two days before her stray hold was up I decided to just put in an adoption application just to be on the safe side to make sure she would be mine when she was all clear from her Eval. Fast forward a week later I called to get another update to see how she was doing and this time they told me she was in isolation now for 10 days due to her ringworm. They told me she was pretty sick. Fast forward a week later I asked for another update and this time I was told she also had roundworms and hookworms along with her ringworm. They told me they were giving her medicine for the ringworm along with the hookworm and roundworm. They also told me they were giving her lime sulphur baths. They told me that they would test her again in 21 days to see if she was still ringworm positive and if she was they would do another 21 days of treatment. Then they told me to call back in two weeks for another update. (She didn’t even get a full 21 days or a retest) Fast forward two weeks 5/8/24. I called on my lunch break around 1pm to get an update on her. I was told she was doing better and that her hair was starting to grow back on her head ears and paws. I was told they may be able to stop giving her the lime baths because she was doing well. They talked to me about getting her spay. They again told me to call back in two weeks to get another update and all seemed well. Fast forward to 3:30pm that same afternoon after I had just had a decent update, they called and told me they were going to euthanize her that afternoon. The lady who talked to me at 1pm was the same lady who called me at 3:30 telling me she didn’t know the dog was going to get put down that afternoon but if I didn't Foster her they were going to euthanize her. They gave me roughly 15 minutes to make a decision on what to do with her. 15 FREAKING MINUTES. I had Called almost every week and they didn’t think once to be like “hey we kill animals here her time is running out you need to make other arrangements”. They couldn’t even give me a day to make other arrangements. I got 15 minutes. Not once was she posted to any Facebook page (I follow All of them) saying that she only has a certain amount of time left before they kill her but best believe they do that for other dogs. I’ve seen it. If I would have known this was a Kill Shelter I would have never taken her there and she would still be here today. They’re disgusting and I dont reccomend this place to anybody.

Adopted my two little minions from here. The staff were honest and upfront that they were a kill shelter due to the abundance of animals which hurt to hear but I knew I could help by adopting.

I am so happy with the whole experience my family had here. The staff I met knew their animals very well. They double check that the client is aware of the history, quirks and personality of the pet you could potentially take home. It has been 48 hours since I picked up our doggo and he is already a beloved member of our family. We saw several dogs but really felt a connection with this boy. So thankful for this place and it's caring, hard working staff. Thank you to all!!
