Absolutely HORRIBLE, they find reasons to kill the animals they have there. They just posted 2 pictures of coyote puppies & was gonna have them killed to get them tested instead of being a good shelter & calling wildlife centers, they also are very discriminating, when it comes to certain people getting animals, they never keep track of everything, a man came in one day with his wife and tried adopting a dog and waited 3 weeks just to find out that the dog was JUST adopted & they told me man and wife that it was never put in the system or called any references, they never called them to let them know until they showed up just to find out the dog was adopted, I do not recommend this shelter to anyone or any animals. They should put the animals in other places and close this place down

All who work or volunteer here have a genuine love for the animals in their care. Great attention is given to the health and comfort of the animals here. Volunteers are always needed!

I adopted Nicky an 8 year old Beagle mix on 2/4/2021. I love my ny new family member. He's a great dog,happy and lovable. The staff at Dessin were friendly and courteous. I highly recommend adopting your pet at the Dessin animal shelter.

As far as I know, you can visit the animals when they are open. Call first.

How much does it cost for a gift certificate to have your cat nuetered?

Sherree Mccollum | Nov 28, 2020
Crissie B | Nov 29, 2020

The shelter doesn't spay or neuter the animals they give you a voucher for your vet, that's free, but it doesn't cover the entire cost. The ending cost will be up to your vet.

Yes kittens are inoculated and fixed

I read on the web site about their spaying and neutering thing....why are they spaying and neutering animals at 8 weeks old? I thought that had to be at least a year?

Haley Cummings | Nov 28, 2020
Emily Dilatush | Nov 29, 2020

I found this link below from the ASPCA that says normal timeframe is 6-9 months for puppies but can be as young as 8 weeks if they're healthy and 8 weeks for kittens. Hope that helps. https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/general-pet-care/spayneuter-your-pet

In what instances are animals put down at this shelter?

Emma Brown | Nov 28, 2020
Carrie McCormack | Nov 29, 2020

It's a no kill shelter so I would think unless an animal is terribly ill, there wouldn't be any time they did that.

what can you do if someone is trying to be an aninal control officer and the person isnt but is giving out fines for cats and such because in my community there is this person that is giving us a fine for my cats and she isnt an officer?

Cheryl Bacsardi | Nov 29, 2019
Susan Hunt | Nov 30, 2019

Impersonating a control officer? Are you in a private community? If so, contact your board to ask them about this woman issuing fines. Sounds weird. Could she be a constable? I'd get her identification card and find out what authority she has to issue fines. Could be a scammer...

Adoption prices vary. There isn't a set price chart. They are reasonable

I live in Sterling, PA. My 15 year old Jack Russell Terrier chased a deer early morning June 24. He is still missing. What should I do to get the word out there. He is wearing a tag with my phone number on it.

Marilyn Cremona | Nov 30, 2018

If you have a Facebook page I would post it on there along with a picture and a way for someone to contact you if they found the dog. Request for people to repost it so that as many people as possible will see it.

Im looking for advice about Ferrell cat and her 4 kittens living on our porch. They look like ready for adoption. Advice please on what would be best for them and mom. I’d be willing to catch mom and get her spayed but what is best process for all?

Lori Pierangeli | Nov 29, 2018
Cindy Johannes | Nov 30, 2018

By putting out food, you can gain their trust. The EPAA does low cost spaying and neutering on cats. Also Dessin rents humane traps. Good luck. I have ex ferrel cats that are sweet and loving.

Do you help with having a female cat spayed? If not would you know of any clinics that would soon be available?

joe yacinovich | Nov 29, 2018
Mayne D | Nov 30, 2018

Dessin animal shelter sells vouchers(coupon) that pays for an animal to be spayed or neutered. The voucher cost is 110 for a dog and 70 for a cat. The voucher only covers the spay or neuter cost if there's anything else that is needed like extra anesthesia or you get shots for your animal that cost would be on you. The voucher only works at Cherry Ridge vet, Wallenpaupack vet and Carbondale vet but you can ask your vet if they will take the voucher. The voucher is only good for 2 months and is not refundable. I recommend that you schedule your appointment first with the vet, so you don't waste your money.

Do you know if there are going to be any rabies clinics in the near future ?

Lisa Wilson | Nov 29, 2018
Olya Trushina | Nov 30, 2018

Not sure. You should call the shelter directly

Is Hunter still available?

Lori Funk | Nov 29, 2018

Vanessa Naturale | Nov 29, 2017
Margaret Zalewski | Nov 30, 2017

They do have a real nice cat room. I don't know if they have room right now, you would have to call. They are very nice and easy to work with. I'd they don't have room right now you can ask if they'll take your name.
