Curious George

Sep 22, 2022

I volunteer and work with the shelter and related activities. It is an amazing facility for animal care. Although I have only recently started, the animals are well cared for and the staff are wonderful for the amount of the daily maintenance that is required.

I submitted an application last Saturday was told I would get a call back Monday or Tuesday at the latest. It’s now Saturday with no phone call. I called Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday with no return call. I went to my vets office on Wednesday and they told me no one called to do a verification. Poor customer service and doesn’t seem like they want to get these animals placed.

Called in on a Sunday to inquire for an adoption after hearing about a dog that was found and dropped out at this facility. Was met with immediate hostility and rudeness. When i tried to explain the situation i was cut off and told the woman had 14 people sitting in her waiting room. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

No they do have rabbits just not all the time. It's like a hit or miss thing. I would suggest to keep checking daily bc I haven't been there to volunteer in like 2 weeks or so and they didn't have any at the time but about a month ago they had 5 for adoption. So keep checking.

Tricia Risley | Sep 24, 2018
Toni Saunders | Sep 24, 2018

Hi Trisha. The shelter has waived all adoption fees until September 2nd. After that, normal fees will be reinstated. Animals all leave with up to date shots and after being spayed or neutered. However because there isn't a full veterinary facility on site, the shelter recommends you take your animal to your veterinarian as soon as possible for a full check up after adopting.

Michelle Crye | Sep 24, 2018
April Middleton | Sep 24, 2018

Your vet who diagnosed most likely will put him down, also Voorhees AWA on centennial blvd will euthanize at your request,. I know this decision must be hard and sad for you. I’ve had to make the same decision. Not all surgery’s cure an animal, sometimes surgery is more for ourselves than for the quality of life the animal may have after the surgery. It’s very easy for someone to tell you to “cough up “ the money, but it’s unkind, they don’t know you, your kitty or your situation. And certainly that person has not faced a decision as painful as it must be for you. Whatever you decide is only your decision. Best of luck.

Hate is a firm feeling. Sad to say but true. If a person "Hates" animals then you must not have an animal around him. People can be cruel. And may take out their frustration on the animal in a form of abuse.
