UPDATE 2022: she’s still suspicious of everything but is the best Black Friday cat we will ever have. She’s a complete cuddle bug. We just picked up the newest member of our family at PARL over the Black Friday weekend. Her name is Lumos and she is super suspicious of everything, but was darling when we met her in a place she was comfortable in. The staff were great in helping us get her home and we can’t wait to see her adapt to her new forever home.

Everyone that works at this shelter is super nice. The shelter itself is super clean. The animals appear to be well taken care of. The adoption process was super easy and seamless.

Went for the vaccine clinic to get my cats distemper. Very fast. I think they took only 2-3 minutes per animal. Wish they had a shorter line, but you get what you get in a pinch. My vet was booked out for months!

I absolutely love this place. Was able to get my cat fixed and her shots for such a low cost. I would've only been able to get one of the things somewhere else for the price. When I felt something was wrong with my cat's suture after she had healed up, I brought her in. Not only did they explain to me what was going on, but they also didn't charge me for the visit because she was healing nicely. Turns out it was just itchy because it was finally done healing and she was biting at it. Causing irritation and redness, so they gave me an e-collar for her. My cat didn't appreciate the cone, but I sure did! Couldn't thank them enough honestly. I was so happy to see representatives at Pride, getting a cute kitten adopted and getting donations by selling waters. The beautiful service dog was a plus!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Do you accept donations of canned dog food?

Dean Marzullo | Aug 27, 2020
Amy Torrence | Aug 27, 2020

I think they do. Before restrictions eased up, they had me leave donations on the bench outside the front door. You might want to check and see if they still want you to do that or if they are open to the public. People were there daily to check on and take care of the animals so they were able to pick up donations quickly.

Joann Roberts | Aug 28, 2018
Steve Kilpatrick | Aug 28, 2018

Sorry to hear your dog isnt doing well. Call PARL tomorrow and ask if they can recommend a vet that can set you up with a payment plan. Your dog may need to receive subcutaneous fluids to help flush out her kidneys, and be prescribed special food and medications to help her out. Dont delay due to not having money.
