Friendly helpful and non-judgmental care about all the animals treat them as their own pets....the pets are open to be adopted

My wife and I recently adopted a beautiful Calico. When we took her to our vet for her initial exam she was found to have a severe ear mite infection. While we were treating her for the infection she stopped eating and stopped having bowel movements. Took her back to the vet. Liver infection. Were given three different medications that had to be administered at different times and before and after meals. Was no way my wife and I could do it properly. Called Open Door. They said they would take care of her for free. We took her to Open Door and they asked that we leave our pet carrier and put our name on it. After a week the cat was even sicker and we decided to give her up because we had spent thousands on our previous cat that was in kidney failure and we couldn't afford another high maintenance cat. When we went to pick up our carrier it had "disappeared." We have had no satisfaction in getting our carrier returned.

i adopted blossom over a year ago & she was a very shy kitty at first and she still is (nothing wrong w it im shy too c: ) but she’s always been the sweetest since day 1. she takes a long time to warm up to new people but that’s okay since me and my bf of 8 years don’t really have people over often. blossom LOVES me and my boyfriend! she runs to the door when we get home, and will always hang out in whatever room we’re in. she LOVES her fancy feast meals as well as always available for her dry food (she’s not an overeater at all) she loves to play and lay in the sun by the sliding glass door and birdwatch. she’s also VERY sweet and cuddly. if she doesn’t sleep right next to me then she’s sleeping on a comfy throw blanket i put at the foot of the bed to make her bed more comfy. just wanted to update Open Door on Blossom! thank you guys again, we LOVE her SO MUCH!🫶🏻 adopt from Open Door!

I love this place, such a wonderful place for homeless beings, giving them a 2nd chance. I have adopted over the few recent years 6 cats from here, my fur family pride ! The staff is always friendly and helpful, the workers in the cat area spend quality time with the animals. You get with adoption , updated shots / micro chipping / and either spay or neutering, the animals get a little goodie bag with toys, collar and such, plus you get a bag of food, it’s a GREAT deal !! You get the reward of saving a soul and giving them a loving home, you get a new family member with lots of love to give in return. I love everyone of my fur babies, they are so grateful and loving . I adopted 4 females and two males, / 2 were just over a year old , the greet me every night when I get home, I was glad a co- worker recommended ODAS to me , when I got my first cat. From there never looked back………..THEY ARE SIMPLY AWESOME , I do not think you will be disappointed .

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Do you sell any other kind of animals besided cats and dogs

MommA BeaR | Nov 2, 2018
Jeri Rider | Nov 2, 2018

First, They do not 'sell' animals. This is a no-kill shelter that has adoption policies. There are many sweet babies that need a furever home. There is a rescue place off of Little Brennon rd., that may be able to help you...

Darlene Licare | Nov 2, 2018

Do you guys allow people to foster pets for a certain amount of time?

Nneka Ichoku | Oct 25, 2022
Cindy Manning | Oct 27, 2022

I would definitely give them a call and talk to the woman in charge there . Ask her your questions and if they don't do the foster thing she can tell you many other places to get ahold of that do. Foster homes are always needed for fur babies.

Will donate food to individuals on low income?

Glenda Vaughn | Oct 2, 2022
Tim Gravier, Jr. | Oct 2, 2022

Yes, Open Door offers reduced price animal food for people with low income.

I think my dog has a broken leg and I can't afford a vet can I bring him here to get some help?

Mel Johnson | Nov 1, 2021
David Poole | Nov 1, 2021

I don't think that they will actually treat your pup there. But they have a network of Vetrinarians that do great work for almost nothing sometimes. If you contact them they may be able to help find an inexpensive option.

Jessica | Nov 1, 2021

Do you spay and neuter cats? How much for low income?

Kimberly Morris | Nov 1, 2021

It's my understanding that all animals are spayed and neutered before you take them home and it's included in the adoption cost.

How do I look for a free animal rescue volunteer job at the age of 13, I’ve been looking for a volunteer job my mom can take me too. I love my senior, young adult dogs, my puppy, and cat and want to help other animals like them.

Leah Madzen | Nov 2, 2019
Rebecca Crisel | Nov 2, 2019

You can attend the volunteer class and get a t shirt, then you can volunteer with an adult because you are under 16 years old. You pay for the shirt but that is it. Call to ask when a class is.

Hi Jamie, I love open door. They are so generous and helpful. They are also usually extremely full. I'd take her in person and explain your situation. If they can't help they can always refer you to someone else. There's also a website you can check out. Call them and they will tell you. I can't think of it right now. Sorry.

Debbie Gray | Nov 2, 2018
Christopher Charboneau | Nov 2, 2018

Do they have Disablerd cats?

Endy the panda | Nov 2, 2018
Cassi Hites | Nov 2, 2018

Yes, I am not sure why the other person says they won’t recommend them without explaining why. From my experience the staff can be a little rude but I feel they are very careful about the home they place their animals. They even do home visits to make sure the home is suitable. They have disabled cats as well as cats that have other issues making them harder to adopt (Such as a very sweet cat that loves to be pet and played with but not picked up or a cat with one eye or senior cats). I have never personally adopted from them but have accompanied several friends who have over the years and been present through the whole process.
