Manny helped with the intake and spay/ neuter of a family of feral cats that decided to be born on my farm. These were spicy cats and not at all human friendly. Got them back sterile so they can be farm cats out here in the country without making a giant cat colony. What great people they have there. Responsive, communicative and a real benefit to the community.

I had recently lost my best furry friend and was devastated. I looked everywhere trying to find Another little pup that would give me lots of love and follow me around like my old pup. I found a dog I was interested in and had called ahead and was told when viewing hours were. Apparently though that was for the southern location. I was devastated thinking we came all the way here for nothing and someone might see the dog first. But they had a cancellation of appointments and made an exception for me. That's when I met my precious pup who I now call shadow because she follows me around like a Shadow! She has been the best cuddle buddy and I am so thankful. I wish I knew the guys name because he really made a difference in my life by being patient and giving me a chance to come in. Shadow was from a hoarding situation and is still a little shy to others but she is the biggest cuddle bug with me! 100% satisfied

There's so many awesome dogs that need a good home! Pure bed, mutts, whatever your looking for. We went looking for a car for my grandma and are filling out application again to go back and rescue dog #2.

Great facility! We adopted our new dog here and the process was quick and simple. They’re currently by appointment only for adoptions, so be sure to go online and fill out the application and include the animal you’re interested in. You can find their available animals online and see some general info about them (if they’re spayed/neutered, age, etc) I submitted my request and received a call the following business day to set up a visit. We ultimately decided on Banjo and couldn’t be happier with our decision. He is so cuddly and sweet! The staff was also friendly and very informative, providing his past medical records and current vaccine certificate. Highly recommend this place if you’re in search of a new addition to the family. Adopt don’t shop!

When a new neighbor gets a new dog and existing neighbors ask if you also are experiencing excessive dog barking from the new dog, what do you recommend?

John Hutton | Aug 19, 2019
Alan Bieganik | Aug 19, 2019

First talk to your neighbor. If unresolved, call local dept of animal control to report. If the neighbor is renting, contact the landlord.

Lost dog followed us home, it is a large chow looking shepard. Will take to animal shelter tomorrow he has no tag.

If it's micro chipped (hopefully) they should be able to get more information on who is the owner. It was a nice thing to take it in for the night. Thanks for inconveniencing yourself to help the animal out.

can I drop off a dead cat here?

Bryan Howes | Aug 19, 2018

Yes you can drop off a dead cat here and you also could bag it and dispose in the garbage. Just be sure to baguette possibly double baguette to keep the flies and smell away.

My neighbors at our condo. Just got a dog, they cage it from morning to night. It won’t stop barking! What do I do?

Leave a "congratulations" bag on their doorstep. In this bag you can provide some chew toys.. for mental/physical stimulation. A frozen Kong (with instructions to stuff with pb or cheese and freeze or whatever the 99cent store has) for hours of soothing peace as they quietly lick their frozen treat. Toss in a Dogs 101 book, business card for good dog trainer, a cute blanket and healthy treats, and you'll look like the best neighbors ever! ;)
