Drove an hour each way to meet a specific puppy we were interested in adopting. We were told we would hear from them one way or another as to whether we were a “good fit”. After a 20 minute interaction with the puppy and a volunteer who never asked us any questions about us, our home, area, lives etc we left and have yet to hear from any staff. As the puppy is no longer available, I’m assuming we weren’t a “good fit”? We felt because we were not interested in any other pups we were deemed unsuitable. Weird place with lots of show boating going on. Many animals in need of adoption in the area and we won’t be inquiring with this place again. Disappointing.

If I could I wouldn’t even leave one star, this shelter is inhumane and awful, the way they treat their animals is terrible the same as they treat their staff, by separating bonded animals and euthanizing animals that don’t need to be. Lying to their staff saying that an animal has been adopted but was actually euthanized. Someone who adopted a cat from the shelter ran away for only a week after the shelter calls them and tells them that their cat has been adopted by someone else and that there are other cats they can get. I am shocked that the shelter is still open. People truly don’t see what is happening on the inside, see four stars but you don’t know the truth.

I have always donated and have even dropped off supplies I collected from others and myself because they were in need. NEVER AGAIN. Our dog ran out of our door and was 2 streets away and picked up by animal control within 5 minutes before we could find her. We called before they even knew animal control had her and wanted to grab her directly from animal control because I did not want her locked in a cage alone. They did not help us get directly in contact with animal control so we could get her right away and said that we HAD to wait until she got there. Once she did they said BECAUSE she stepped foot in their building we had to pay fees and couldn’t have her until we did. My husband didn’t have money on him at the time and they said he couldn’t have her and needed to leave to get funds. It was all a cash grab so they could collect money from us when animal control was blocks away. I will absolutely NEVER give a single penny or supply to this place ever again via fundraiser or any other means. Taking advantage of someone to squeak money out of them and act like it’s mandated and goes to the state when it goes directly in their pockets. If you truly cared about the well-being of my dog you would have had me contact animal control directly so she didn’t have to go through this experience, but then again you couldn’t have forced money out of someone’s pocket. I hope you enjoyed this minimal fee causing no future support from me for a lifetime.

I had a great experience here adopting the new addition to my family "Oreo". They were very nice and made sure they did their research to make sure Oreo would have a safe and loving home. We absolutely love him so much and he is so sweet and laid back. I'm glad I had the opportunity to give him the love he deserves.

Yes go to Middle Town Ri. Go to the dog kennel there.I my respect this is a special breed of animal.All the other shelters have a scarce variety of animals. You want the best Middle Town Ri. But know most people keep these animals until they pass or give to another family members. Read about Bull Dogs. Many different types.

Per their website, dogs and puppies 11 months or older, adoption fee is $280. For puppies 10 months or younger it's $400. That includes all spay/neuter, flea &tick treatment and all necessary vaccines as well as a microchip placement. I'd give the website a look if you have further questions. Hope this helps!

Susan Mroz | Sep 3, 2019
Wendy Farias | Sep 3, 2019

Yes they are, if u got an animal for free & took it to the vet to get it neutered/ spayed and all it's shots it would cost you close to $500- $600. Depending on what kind of animal. So when you look at it that way it not expensive. The cost also feeds, gives medical care & shelter to all the animals in the shelter.
