Love dog we got from the shelter CoCo. She is wonderful well mannered and not to excitable which is good for us as Are Seniors. The shelter treated us great and worked with us to get adoption done efficiently.
I adopted a 15 year old cat named "Cocoa". He is very sweet and extremely fragile. I think he is almost blind and very hard of hearing. He loves to cuddle and is a very good boy! The staff at the shelter were very professional and super nice. I had a great experience there!
Came in today to bring back a dog I adopted a week ago, because he was extremely aggressive with my cats. I loved him so much and just want the best for him. Upon arrival after calling to ensure everything was in order, a lady greeted us by the name of “Deb”. We explained we had called about bringing him back. Her response was “oh poor buddy just too much for them huh” we said no it’s not like that at all. “You were just too much for them.” We corrected her and said “no actually, he was just aggressive with our cats.” She said “and did you tell us you have cats?” We told her yes. She then said “well it’s in their breed to be aggressive towards cats!” Like seriously? Questioning whether or not we were truthful to the shelter before adopting him and then assuming we’re bringing him back because he is a high energy dog? Seriously ridiculous. We are not bad people for needing to protect our animals and wanting the dog to go to a better fitted home, and what Deb said implied that we are. Extremely unprofessional and just simply rude. It’s hard to want to adopt from the shelter when she was very discouraging.
I adopted my best friend from a this place and had her for 16 years, so I am extremely grateful for that. Today, a small chihuahua came into my yard. Since I already have three dogs, I posted about this dog everywhere hoping to find its owner. On top of that I went door to door asking the neighbors. We decided to take him to a shelter just in case his owner is looking for him and to see if he was microchipped. Unfortunately he was not microchipped. We made it very clear that if the owners don't come and claim him in the alotted time, we would like to be contacted first so we can adopt him. The girl at the desk, who had braces, was extremely rude. After we asked her to call us, she scoffed and said, "I don't see what the difference is." She proceeded to act like it would be an inconvenience to call us or even update us about him. Well, for starters, if my dog ran into someone's yard and they just decided to keep him without doing everything possible to try and find me, I would be heartbroken. Her attitude was so offensive and made us feel horrible. It's not like we wanted to be there dropping him off - he's a sweet boy, but he also could be somebody else's baby. She obviously lacks the ability to to work in this kind of environment.
Just adopted Missy from the shelter a few days ago. Her owner had a stroke and his daughter surrendered her without his knowledge. She’s a sweet heart and seems to be happy with the other dogs. Over all the shelter took really good care of her.
I had A great experience adopting “Koda” ,now named Nico, from this shelter. All the staff were welcoming and helpful with the adoption process and the post neuter recovery period. Thankyou!
