Adopted a kitten from here. The process was fast and easy.

Incredible. Went there to adopt a doggo with close friends. Came back with the sweetest German shepherd we named Sparky the Fur Musket. Sweetest girl ever. All the staff were super friendly and efficient, and withing an hour we had our girl. Highly recommend!

for context, we went to the shelter in search of a cat, having a few specific cats in mind already that we had seen on the website. There are no walk ins. We waited no less than 30 mins, and when we were finally able to look at the cats, it became clear that the staff seems to be unable to keep up with the animals in their own facility. This is probably due to the fact that there was only one person who was able to show us the cats in the first place. Their website is wildly misleading and inaccurate, at least in our experience. Half of the animals listed on there were no longer even in the facility. Half of the animals we SAW there weren't even on the website. They lack general knowledge about the animals they do have, whose been adopted and who has not... Our questions were barely answered whenever we inquired about their personalities, they seemed either unsure how to answer or wanting to sugarcoat things. This all made it out to be a pretty awkward and confusing visit. In the end, we were pulled aside into a room after being told that we could see the animal we were interested in, (that we had seen on their website), waited, only to be told that animal had actually been adopted already. Each and every cat We had been interested in and saw listed on the website was gone. Needless to say we left without a cat and not sure if I would recommend this experience to anyone else.

Just an honest heads up: if you adopt an animal and it doesn't end up working out, they will not at all refund you, no matter what you paid and no matter if only a day or so has past since getting it. They'll just say "unfortunately no." So beware of being scammed. They'll definitely steal your own money unfairly and have no problems with it or an explanation why. Also the animals online don't accurately represent the animals in shelter when you arrive. There's no walk ins like the website says. You have to sit there for an undisclosed amount of time waiting for one single human to take each and every adoptee back to see the animals. Lastly they have no idea about the animals in their own shelter. If you ask questions they all say they don't know anything and you get tossed around with different information. Very unorganized and poorly structured.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Why do you let Rescue places come in and get all the small dogs? This is not how the shelter should work. No everyone wants a Pitt-Bull......

Eric Hall | Sep 18, 2021
Guilford County Animal Services | Sep 18, 2021

Animals are marked for rescue for either medical or behaviors displayed while at the shelter. Many times the small dogs are fear biters and cannot go on the adoption floor for the safety of staff and the public. Also, small dogs are often returned to their owners after being brought into the shelter as strays. Each animal is carefully considered before their placement decision is made. All decisions are made in the best interest of the animal and public.

Are you a no kill shelter

Wolf 1182 | Oct 23, 2021
Guilford County Animal Services | Apr 21, 2022

It is a common misconception that we euthanize for space or time here at Guilford County Animal Services. We evaluate every animal to enter our shelter and do everything possible to ensure a live outcome for the animals at our facility. Sometimes humane euthanasia is the best option for an animal depending on health and behavior, but we strive to have positive outcomes for every animal that can have one. We work closely with all of our transfer partners for those who may not be the best fit to adopt out from our facility. As long as pets are happy and healthy they remain here until they are adopted out. We have had some pets that have stayed with us over a year before finding their new homes!

Cheryl Wiggins | Sep 18, 2021
Guilford County Animal Services | Sep 18, 2021

We are so sorry to hear about your pet. We do have an Owner Surrender for Euthanasia service that we provide to our community. This is a free service for those who cannot afford humane euthanasia at a veterinary office. It is only for residence of Guilford County. ORE appointments will not be allowed to be with your pet at the time of euthanasia if it is determined by our medical staff to be the best course of action for your pet. You will also not be able to receive remains back. If you would like either of these things, a veterinary office will be able to provide those options for you. More information and to schedule an appointment, please visit our ORE page at https://ore.guilfordcountync.gov

They do however the euthanize ones that are sick, not because there isnt space. At the moment, they are euthanizing few enough animals to be called a no kill shelter. People bring in their old dogs to be euthanized which raises prices but they actually euthanize almost none

Shayla Scott | Sep 19, 2019
Guilford County Animal Services | Sep 18, 2021

It is a common misconception that we euthanize for space or time here at Guilford County Animal Services. We evaluate every animal to enter our shelter and do everything possible to ensure a live outcome for the animals at our facility. Sometimes humane euthanasia is the best option for an animal depending on health and behavior, but we strive to have positive outcomes for every animal that can have one. We have had some pets that have stayed with us over a year before finding their new homes!

They likely won't "hold" the dog that long. Once it's been surrendered and put up as an adoptable pet whoever gets it, gets it. You need to let them know asap that you want the dog back and you'll have to go pick it up now rather than 2 weeks from now. They won't board the dog for that long unless it just happens to not be adopted within that time frame.
