Animals seem well taken care of but customer service was so bad from one particular member (older lady) I will never be back. Been looking for a member of the family for awhile so I’ve been here a few times. I want to make sure the animal I get is fit for my family that’s why I’ve yet to adopt. I think the lady recognized me and made it abundantly clear she didn’t want me there. I smiled at her when I walked in and she gave me a disapproving look and grimaced. I was also wanting to volunteer here but absolutely not now! Everyone else was very helpful and sweet.

I personally have not had a experience of the staff just being straight rude to me but, my only issue is that it’s almost impossible to get ahold of anyone through the phone. I’ve called so many times trying to figure out information about strays and they just don’t answer. I know they use to cause I’ve never had this issue until about the past 6 months. It’s to the point my own vet said if I needed information about the animal I adopted from them they would call themselves cause they know how hard it is just to get them to pick up the phone. It’s just very frustrating when they are the only place in the city who handles strays and different things like that. Reading some of these recent reviews are very heartbreaking seeing how many issues people have had with them not informing people about animals medical history or personality traits (truthfully). Worst of all hearing how quick they are to put down an animal. If you don’t truly go to work everyday to love those animals and give the any treatments they need so they can get the best fighting chance at a good life, why are you even employed there? It’s like having a teacher who despises kids it makes no sense lol. Do better guys.

Only pets that are adopted from the shelter are spayed (female) or neutered (male) in accordance to Georgia state law (O.C.G.A. Title 4, Chapter 14 - Sterilization of Dogs and Cats in Shelters) and with a local veterinarian. If you have a pet that needs to be altered, contact a local veterinarian of your choice. There are additional resources available as well. Spaygeorgia.org can be found at https://www.spaygeorgia.org/. Valdosta/Lowndes Humane Society offers a low cost spay/program at 229-242-7729. South Georgia Low Cost Spay/Neuter clinic in Thomasville can be reached at 229-236-7297. Friendly reminder that all cats and dogs over the age of three months have to have a current rabies vaccination. This vaccination is state mandated and are only obtained with a veterinarian of your choice.

I have been wanting to volunteer here at this shelter for a while now, what is the minimum age for volunteering?

Lowndes County Animal Shelter | Oct 2, 2021

The shelter’s volunteer program is currently suspended due to COVID-19. When guidance is provided to reinstate the program, minimum age is 18 years of age for all volunteers.

Do you have a dog by the name of COCO in your shelter? Before Christmas, she was listed as an adoptable dog, but there we no picture of her available at that time. I cannot find any mention of her now.
