Adopted a dog called “classy” here at the shelter as I was going back up to fort Bragg. She is the most well behaved baby ever and she knows so many tricks and is so gentle with kids and doesn’t bark. Also potty trained and crate trained I don’t think they knew any of that . She was the most shy dog in the shelter but as soon as we put her in the car her mood completely changed so thankful. ❤️ will go back here again to adopt a baby . UPDATE: classy is doing amazing and has adjusted so well with our family and we both have gotten so attached to each other. Her favorite things are car rides, peanut butter filled hooves, my bed and hills special diet food (she’s very picky).

I had a good expierience. They can be hard to reach by phone, but are always available in person. These people work very hard, deal with so many crazy situations and sometimes difficult people yet still are kind and informative. We've had our doggy for almost a year. We started out fostering to adopt which was a new expierience for us, and they were available by phone for any question or concern we had. We were also helped to be matched to a dog that suited us! Every criteria we had for a dog was met and were so happy we got to adopt from this shelter. Our sweet Ruby was only $25.

Got a dog there 2 weeks ago she was really skinny as soon as we got her home we noticed she was sick she was doing #2 more than she ate. Called the next day they said she was up to date with all her shots. Come to find out the dog had Pavo, and they basically blamed us for the dog having Paro said that it was our fault and that she was too skinny. We had to surrender her back because we couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her and our other dog got sick will come to find out. They gave us a dog with Pavo and told us that it was our fault that she had because no dogs had until after she left, and that she was skinnier than when we got her when she was skin and bone when we got her, we called numerous times trying to figure out what was wrong that they gave us a sick dog and come to find out they told us today that she had Pavo, and that it was our fault that she had Pavo that she was up-to-date with all her shots and blah blah blah. That’s not the fact Please make them check before you adopt a dog from there to make sure that they don’t have Pavo because there was other dogs there that had Pavo and this dog was amazing. We wish we could get her back. They basically said we couldn’t have her back and that was our fault that she had Pavo, even though that she was showing signs five hours after we got her is a bad place for dogs and they are very rude and put blame on everybody else except themselves and it’s ridiculous. I want the dog back because they gave us a sick dog. They said that we can’t have her back for 90 days and it’s not right. These pictures are the day we brought her home! She was so skinny

Let me share my personal experience. Adopted a dog from here, they told me he was healthy. Brought the dog home and he started coughing. Turns out he had something called kennel cough. Made my other dog really sick and turned into pneumonia. Now my other dog is currently at UGA and I've had to take out a loan to cover the vet bill which is probably in the thousands by now. Not to mention having to surrender the dog back to the shelter just so they can turn around and adopt him out again and make another $150 I guess. And let's not forget having to throw away everything that's pet related and start all over with a new bed, toys, dishes, etc. Also and most importantly the stress and grief that my wife and son had to endure as they really love the dog that's currently having to be fed intravenously as he's not eating yet due to this illness. I would caution everyone to stay well away from this place as I don't want to see your family go through what mine is right now.

Adopted a small dog brought from this shelter to NJ, she was groomed and health inspected. Wonderful pet. Thank you.

I have never wrote a bad review in my life until my experience with this place. A month ago I applied for a kitten and was told by the front desk lady that she would give me a call when the kitten was 2 lbs. Went back to see the kitten today and they informed me someone else adopted her, even though I applied first. They told me there was nothing they could do about it even though it was their mistake. My home was ready for the kitten and was so excited to get her for a month. Disgusted with this experience is to say the least.
