I have fostered kittens for Wags and adopted one of my dogs from them. Truly a shelter run by kind and loving people who are making a massive difference in the community.

They really have a good thing going. I volunteer there when I can. They really find good homes for the animals. If you don't have a cat or a dog then go to WAGS and adopt one. You will thank me later.

I volunteered to help out with sick and homeless kittens. I made friends with people and cats. It is definitely a sanctuary but they all need a home in the end. So please adopt a dog or cat from WAGS... The best adoption center around. You can also find your lost pet there so get them chipped. Thank you.

The staff here is so friendly and helpful! They gave me and my children plenty of time with the kittens before we chose and adopted our picks the same day. The youngest kitten started getting sick after a couple of days and they took her in and cared for her right away, asking us to wait to bring her back home until they got her back to full health. So happy we came here and recommended you do the same!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

How do I apply online for volunteer work?

Miriam Leon | Aug 20, 2019

You can also go to this facility in person if possible and tell one of the people at the front counter to give you an application. Fill it out, turn it in and they should call you to let you know when you have to go to the orientation. Good luck to you.

I went there a little while ago, I do not believe the rescue hamsters though. From what I saw, there were only big dogs and cats. Puppies are not available now so you know.

We follow their Facebook page to see if they have any dogs you're interested currently again in their center. Then the Facebook post will have an email address to contact their person handling the adoption. She'll send you an application and will see if you match with the dog or puppy you're interested with. We just adopted a dog and they're really helpful and easy to work with in social distancing guideline in place.

Can I exchange my cat for another one? I feel the one I have it's not a fit one for me and my girls. He scratches a lot and doesn't like to be petted half the time, only when it wants.

queenbeelatina | Aug 19, 2020
Sandi O'Neill | Aug 19, 2020

That's what cats do. They are very independent.

I would like to get a hypoallergic cat as a pet. I'm especially interested in: Siberian Foerst Cat, Balinese, Burmese, Color point Short hair or Siamese.

Ruth Dills | Aug 19, 2020
Rikki | Aug 19, 2021

No cat is hypoallergenic. The allergen to which humans can be allergic (FEL-D1) is in cats' saliva and sebaceous glands. The idea that specific cat breeds are "hypoallergenic" is a marketing ploy and leads to a lot of unnecessary and harmful breeding, cat abandonments and euthanasia that could have been avoided by simply choosing to either live with the allergy or not adopting cats.
