Their description had her as a great dane, after but she is a mix most likely great dane Mastiff. I suspect the mastiff part was also mixed with some sort of hound possibly. They, however were with behavior and temperament. My Dane and her get along so well and she is already seeming very happy here. She is crate trained and house trained. She is not destructive. So after 3 days, we are all happy. She paced alot the first, however, as the first picture shows, she settled in on my lap when my Dane was elsewhere. They play oit in my backyard perfectly. She has responded to a couple of basic commands already and is treat motivated so I think training will fly by. Leash manners is the only real thing we really need to work on. I am having a great experience so far.

Truly among the most bizarre experiences I’ve had going to a shelter. It’s like staff couldn’t care less if an animal were adopted or not. Upon arriving, we were told we could see cats through the glass rooms…but with no further instructions, and there was no one near the cat kennels. When we said that we had a list of cats to see, they sent us to one specific cat’s kennel, but again, we could not meet the cat because no one was there. When I went back to the front desk to clarify that we wanted to *meet* at least one cat, we were instructed to fill out an application form and told to wait for a counselor to be available. After 20 minutes of waiting, we asked the front desk staff if they had an idea of when a counselor might be available. They mentioned that they didn’t know due to a “dog test” requiring at least two people, and that 2 staff members had quit that day so they were short-staffed. That is fine, but my husband and I drove up from Lawrence and took time off of work to come adopt a cat because the shelter isn’t open past 5 pm. The wait time (or lack of awareness regarding when a counselor would be available) should have been communicated as soon as we walked in. I am also puzzled why the front desk needed two staff members, neither of whom could help us see the cats, and neither of whom appeared to be doing anything but chatting. I also see from reading some reviews that this isn’t the first time this has happened to prospective owners at this location. We were ready to adopt a cat today, but we’re already on our way to a different humane society instead.

I'm pretty sure only superheroes work here. They have a hundred things to do, but they still took the time to help me find the right fit for my family and my needs. They took all of my concerns seriously (even my silly pets) and sent our new kitten home with the necessary medications and instructions to give her the best start in life. These people are providing a necessary public service and when they're busy you have to wait your turn. Sometimes that's a long wait, but that doesn't mean they're not approaching every situation with empathy, expertise, and kindness. We're so happy to have this new rambunctious, curious, and cuddly addition to our family. Thank you for getting Susie sorted for us!

We had a terrible experience with the shelter. We went in on Sunday and found a kitten we wanted to adopt. They told us they were not doing anymore adoption last that day. However, they did take our application, put the kittens name on it and told us to come back Monday and go through the process. We were told that the counselors would see our application with the kittens name on. When we came in Monday to finish the process, we were told the kitten was in the process of being adopted by someone else. I explained to them what happened on Sunday and what we were told. They said it didn’t matter. By this time my daughter was in tears. The said we could hang out and see if the adoption fell through. After waiting for 25 minutes, I asked the lady at the desk if I could leave my name and number for them to call me if the adoption fell through. She no, they don’t do that. It’s first come first serve. I said well we were there 1st but that didn’t seem to matter. So we walked out with a little girls heart broken and no kitty that we had planned to take home that day. If you really want your pets to find a home, you really should put better practices and customer service in place.

I’ve had my Shadow for a little over 2 months now and he has changed my life. He keeps me on my toes and he’s very playful but he has stolen my heart. So happy that I got the privilege to adopt him.
