Great place,this establishment has helped us immensely! After squatters took over my boyfriend's mother's house for months after she passed and brought in over 15 cats, which soon became an unbelievable amount of cats that just kept multiplying, they have helped us find loving forever homes for all of those innocent fur babies.

We adopted two of our dogs here 5 years ago, we adopted them around July 4th so my license is always up around that time. I prefer that because they I don't have to see people giving up there pets yet this last time I went there was a lady arguing with the staff about taking her poor, scared dog. It's one reason I can't stand going to any shelter, seeing people discard their pets, it's horrible. But staff were nice and I've never had an issue with them. Adopt don't shop, and if you can't make it a lifetime commitment, do not get a pet!

The staff here are always so nice and professional. If you have questions and they always try and answer with a smile. They also seem to be very knowledgeable of the animals in the shelter.

Wrote a review a while ago and realized it never uploaded! Anyway, a year and almost 3 months ago, we came to see a 8 week old ginger kitten. We fell in love with her immediately and she has brought so much joy to our family. Since coming home, she’s established herself as the alpha cat and protector of the house. They take great care of their animals in this shelter and I wholly recommend you coming here to meet your new best friend! Enjoy the compilation of our beautiful Kiki (originally Kelly) from 8 weeks to 1 year, 3 month!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

They are open Tues - Fri 9am- 4pm..last adoption is 3:30. Sat. They open at 9am -?? Closed on Sun & Mon. Hope that helps..

Do you have space for a young white very loving cat I rescued? Can’t keep due to my daughter.

**Godcanhelp** 7 | Aug 27, 2020
Cynthia Simon | Aug 27, 2020

Linda B is wrong about this shelter, they only put down the dogs who have attacked people or other animals, and work with local rescues in the area to get animals that haven't found a home in a group that can take more time to home the animals. I've seen it with my own eyes happen.

What would I do if a shelter adopted out my lost dog? He is microchipped, and current information!

MJ McHueftle | Aug 28, 2018
Sarah Howlett | Aug 28, 2018

If they scanned and found chip, they tried to contact you. The animals are also on a hold period, longer if they are chipped. If you didn't look hard enough for your dog and it was adopted out after all those attempts to find and contact you, that is on you. Once adopted, you will not be getting your dog back. Sorry
