Our experience with STAF has been excellent. From the beginning of the adoption process, they made us feel welcomed and encouraged us to take our time when meeting their cats. It took us a couple of visits, but we adopted the loveliest kitty of all. We could tell that STAF cares deeply about their cats and dogs. They told us right off the bat that many of the cats and dogs are going to be in their lifelong care, which really shows how much they are invested in the life of these animals. Our kitty has been a joy to have. She's the perfect furry companion. They provided medical records and caretaking tips when we adopted her, and we felt like we knew what we needed to be great cat parents. Thank you, STAF!

I could not be more pleased with this shelter! The workers (all volunteers!) clearly love these animals and are very helpful throughout every step of the adoption process and beyond. They even make a point to specify that the animal you adopt from them will always have a home at STAF if for some reason it doesn’t work out. Thankfully, things have been working out wonderfully with my Zira, who I adopted from them last year. I would absolutely recommend checking them out for your next furry friend :)

STAF is the best. We have adopted 2 great cats from them and I highly recommend setting up an appointment and adopting a new family member.

Our family is very thankful to all the volunteers who keep the Save the Animals Foundation open, you are all SO WONDERFUL! Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there adoption process had to be adjusted and it was incredibly seamless. After submitting an adoption application we were scheduled for a pre-screening phone conversation with an Adoption Coordinator, we spoke with Julie who was so lovely and kind. We then were scheduled for a visit to the shelter to met and play with all the kittens and cats! So fun! Upon arriving at the shelter, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming [masked] smile by Adoption Coordinator Amy. We immediately fell in love with Jemma and scheduled a pickup the following week to give her time to see their in-house veterinarian. Adoption day! Jemma is about 20 weeks old and is a Russian Blue breed. We were sent home with a gallon of cat food, gallon of litter, toys, and a plastic carrier to safely transport Jemma home. Perks of adopting a slightly older cat? She was already litter boxed trained and immediately used the scratch boxes. #winning We are absolutely blown away with the shelters service, everyone was lovely and supportive through the seamless process of adopting our kitten. We couldn't have imagined it any better, all the volunteers are very passionate about what they do and it's truly received by those who visit the shelter. Thank you!

Thank you so much for reaching out regarding these babies! While STAF can't perform spays/neuters as we are a shelter and not a veterinary facility, Ohio Alleycat Resource (http://www.ohioalleycat.org) offers low cost spays/neuters and is also in the same eastside neighborhood as STAF.

An elderly lady in my community has a dog that she is no longer able to manage. The elderly lady has finally agreed to allow me to search for the dog a new home (which I was unable to find). Can I bring the dog to this no harm shelter?Is it safe

Melvin Wallace | Feb 2, 2022

STAF is a no-kill shelter and our primary goal is to rehome every dog and cat that comes to us. However, some of the dogs and cats that come to us end up staying with us over the long term and our team is dedicated to ensuring that they're all well fed, have access to veterinary care, are loved and, above all, are safe.
