We adopted Zinfandel in sept 2021. We had been searching for the PERFECT fit for us. She is the sweetest cat. The workers at Animal Friends were amazing. We didn't know very much of her background. she leaped out of her carrier as soon as we got home, and wanted loving right away. She is just so wonderful. We are lucky to have found her. She is very loved, just such a great kitty. Thank you all at Animal Friends....

The absolute best place to take your furbabies. You can tell they love animals and take great care of them while in their care. Just got my cat fixed and had a wide range of things done while she was there. The price was fantastic considering other vets I called they wanted over $100 just for vaccines. I paid that maybe a little more for a lot more services and care. Just because you pay less doesn't mean you get less care either. I drove over 45 minutes to take my furbaby here. Will continue to take all future pets here and will recommend anyone to use Animal Friends.

One of the nicest rescue groups/animal shelters I've ever been to. It is beautiful, CLEAN, and extremely organized. You can tell that the staff genuinely care. Our rescue was chipped, vet checked and fully vaccinated, and even had a Fi collar because he was a puppy mill rescue. Worth a visit if you're a responsible pet owner looking to adopt, and worth every penny of your donation if you are so inclined.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Do you know if they can help with my sick cat ? How much is the clinic ? I have very little income and need help desperately. 😞

Patty Black | Jan 1, 2020

All places charge out the butt to put down an animal 😞 . I don't want my kitty to suffer anymore and I plan to bury him next to the other cat .

Rita Garvey | Dec 31, 2017
J Jackson | Jan 1, 2018

Yes! It's this coming weekend's Home for the Holidays" event, 12/16 & 12/17. Pets are 'priceless' for all shelter residents. It would be a good idea to fill out your application online before you go. It will be a busy weekend. These events allow Animal Friends to make room to rescue more animals from open door shelters.

Hi , I want to please hear some opinions. I live in a quiet neighborhood and am seriously thinking of adopting a dog. Do y'all think I should pay my older neighbors a visit and inform them before I get my pet as a courtesy?

Yvonne Clawson | Sep 1, 2020
D McF | Sep 2, 2020

I don't know really know how to answer that. Let's look at it this way as a courtesy would you inform them if you were trying to get pregnant and have children? In some respects it's the same thing. On the other hand if they are prone to stop by your place yes maybe you should. After you get the dog definitely let them know and see it then they know who it belongs to and don't call animal control...

So you have a kitten for adaption?

Do you guys still neuter cats for free in that one program

Brianna McDermott | Dec 31, 2019
crystal delancey | Jan 1, 2020

I don't think it's free. My vet wanted $400 bucks to neuter my cat and Animal friends program was between 45 and 55. Be prepared. It's almost a 3 month wait. I found a vet that will do for $200 and if I don't hear back from them soon, I'll just pay the $200. You have to get little boys fixed early to prevent them from spraying.

Do they offer emergency boarding for animals? I don't have any money and will be moving soon but I have to find somewhere where they will be able to safely stay. I'm hoping less than a week but could be a month I amdesperate, please help!

Christina Ellis-Snowden | Dec 31, 2019
Cassandra Shaw | Jan 1, 2020

They do have a program for emergency boarding but I'm not sure what circumstances meet the requirements. You should definitely call and inquire!

Is there any small dogs that stay small for adoption??

There are constantly a variety of dogs available. Dogs who are smaller, cat friendly and great with kids move through the shelter all the time. They are often adopted quickly, so it is useful to watch the website for available dogs - it is updated every hour - or call the adoptions department periodically and check in with the adoption counselors. They are also able to help answer questions about temperament and energy level, which are both important when considering whether your family and the dog are likely to get along:)

where can my cats stay temporarily until i find a new place to live? sorry for 1st question i asked about my son

Animal Friends does have a limited number of cages for emergency boarding, in the event, for example, of a fire that leaves someone homeless. I dont doubt that any cat would prefer an extra room at a kind friend's house as opposed to a cage at any shelter or boarding facility, so i would exhaust all possible resources before inquiring about emergency boarding. If you have, perhaps try to contact Animal Friends Admissions department to see if there is space. I do not know the cost of emergency boarding.

I have a 4 year old American bulldog he is growling at my wife and acting strange can someone help me with this

Ron Reeg | Dec 31, 2017
Jeremy DL | Jan 1, 2018

That sounds like reaction stemming from a developed behavioral instinct to "protect" you (or whoever he is NOT growling at). I'm under the strong impression that this particular behavior is something that can develop in numerous dogs, regardless of their breeds (for various reasons), but with the proper professional training it should be a very correctable issue. Although it will take time, patience & practice --for both you & your dog. I suggest you contact a professional trainer or behavioral specialist. Sorry that I don't know of any personally, but Animal Friends should be able to help point you in the right direction. If not, the World Wide Web is your oyster & Google is always your friend :) Dig around a bit; I'm sure there are some fantastic professionals in the Pittsburgh area that can help you, if they aren't already at Animal Friends. Best of luck & take care! -J.DL-
