Safe Place for Animals

We love SPA. We’ve adopted 2 dogs from them directly and they were the go-between for us on a cat adoption. Our experience each time was very positive. They are selective with adoption approvals but our experiences have been smooth with relatively quick approvals. They obviously know each of their animals very well and everyone is well cared for. This is a worthwhile organization.

Very unprofessional place. Went to apply for adoption on one of two precious pups i saw on their site and was told because im a truck driver, “it wont work with any of our dogs”, when plenty of truckers on the road have companions without issue. I was judged the moment i walked in and their attitudes are disgusting. I am so glad i dodged a bullet with this place. But so sad Ella and Davis are stuck with such a negative group of staff. This is just my experience, but wish i listened to the other reviews i saw before hand. The rating is low for a reason.

I guarantee you everything that you're reading here from these folks is 100% accurate! I had the same experience 2 years ago, so I went online to look for dogs that were being given away for free and I found my little Gracie, these people are despicable and do not care about their animals I don't know what they're up to but it's very shady! People come in there to look at animals wanting to adopt, I get that you want to protect them but these people are constantly finding fault with those that want to adopt and for what reason? Are they selling them putting them to sleep or selling them to Vet school to practice on, there's something very very very very very very very shady about these people do not go there if you wish to adopt go online there's plenty of people that are giving away dogs for free and there's other shelters that care about having their animals adopted out! These people don't even deserve one star 🤨 and to you that own this business and or work there, people that are willing to pay money are desperate to adopt because they lost one of their beloved pets and or they want another one to keep their other pets from being lonely are not bad people, bad people that abused pets don't usually spend money on them, so stop with your nonsense, if you people really cared about your animals then you would treat your customers with much more respect and kindness and allow them to get to know the pet that they wish to adopt. Miss me with your nonsense you have so many one-star reviews that many people can't be wrong 🤨🧐🤔 these people need to be shut down!

They took care of our cats so well. And their prices are great. I'd go there before going to an expensive vet because they give animals the same great love and care and affordable prices.

Safe Place for animals is a wonderful haven for dogs and cats who need a forever home. We've worked with a few rescue agencies over the years and this is one of my favorites.

On Friday (3/8) afternoon, I went to the shelter to see a puppy named Cisco. Upon arrival, I speak to Susie and explain my situation. We are looking for a companion for our dog, Luna, who we believe was used as a bait dog and who struggles with loneliness and anxiety. She needs a dog friend. Didn't hide Luna's history, I showed photos to Susie which showed her lack of fur and scarred appearance. Susie agreed Cisco would be a great option for us because of his calm and easy going nature. I asked if we could bring Luna in the following morning to meet with Cisco. She agreed enthusiastically. Next morning, I find a woman, explain what I discussed with Susie. I asked if we could do the meet and greet in the front office in the waiting room due to our dog being previously abandoned. We were denied. They bring Cisco out and as soon as the first woman saw our dog all of her walls went up. We are completely fine with questions regarding our dog. They are understandable. We are happy to answer questions and provide examples if need be. We also get needing to protect your dogs and needing to be on your guard. Please note: Luna is mainly ignoring the puppy and not once did she show any aggression. She begins to imply our dog may bite the puppy because Luna is working hard to get away from it by going behind my husband. We tell her that's never happened and we have a firm handle on her regardless. Despite this, for the next 30 minutes we continue to hear about how we "just never know" and about how our dog has the potential to be violent. I wonder if they'd do that if it was a scared up lab or gold retriever? I doubt it. Another woman wouldn't stop glaring at Luna and even had the audacity to ask if Luna "had ever even been AROUND puppies?!" in a hateful, short, accusatory voice while looking at Luna like she's a monster. Luna had puppies herself. As soon as they saw Luna, they made their decision on our approval status and they made it very clear. During the whole meet and greet, She told multiple stories to try prove "we just never know" because she lacked the social grace to realize enough was enough (even after we expressed our frustration at her continuous accusations). She even told a story about how she found out her "sweet" dog was racist. Dogs reflect the prejudices of their owners so we found that interesting. She even used a story regarding a dog that'd been clearly over bred to make a point that Luna could suddenly attack. It was unbelievable. The lack of social intelligence was staggering. We get the concern, but they made it clear they believed us naive and it was only a matter of time before "Luna snapped". They acted like we were horrible for wanting to get Luna a companion. Like we would endanger a puppy for the sake our own desires. They vibes made the whole thing awkward and awful. Dogs can sense that so of course Luna was afraid. I would be too if I had two women looking at me like that. I expressed my concerns regarding their behavior. I was met with even more apathy and empty apologies. We left and found a perfect puppy at the Humane Society of Sumner County. The people there were incredible and kind. This was our first experience with our sweet Luna being looked at like she was a monster. Everyone who knows her loves her. Place was also in horrible shape including the vet area. Cisco was caked in mud upon arrival in the morning meaning he probably slept that way. I hope he gets a great home. Please see attached photos of new puppy (Remus) and our "dangerous" Luna - one photo is her and a tripod cat whose her bestie. To the person who may respond to this, please, don't passive aggressively state that you are "just trying to keep dogs safe". We get that. That doesn't inhibit you from having some level of social intelligence, professionalism, and/or the ability to listen. Thank you, Susie, for your kindness on Friday. Shame on the rest Update: as expected Luna (the safety concern/liability *sarcasm*) and Remus (puppy we got from Sumner Humane Society) are absolute best friends.
