The staff was very friendly. They were patient with me while I was meeting the dog I came to adopt and didn't rush me. He's been the best dog and is truly part of our family, I can't thank them enough.

I live in Italy. We found a dog in the center of town that had been hit by a car. We took her to the SPCA and they said they couldn't take her and I needed to take her home and call animal control. We begged them to take her because she needed immediate medical care but they refused. When animal control got there he said he was going to take her right back to the SPCA!! I can't believe they did that. I don't think they care about the animals at all!!

SPCA offers to help animals. Live in a rural area that is notorious for abandoned animals but every time I’ve taken a stray to them they refuse to help, asking questions like where do I live and other nonsense isn’t that what they’re there for. I constantly see commercials asking for donations but do they realize that all that money they spent on those commercials they could have saved hundreds if not thousands of animals. I just can’t wrap my head around it.

Multiple staff members were very rude and I received several eye rolls in the middle of a conversation.

Someone dumped mom and 3 kittens. Guessing 6 weeks or so. If I can get them fixed free or really cheap I would keep them. But I can’t afford to fix them all. Any help anywhere?

Katie Ellington | Nov 4, 2020

You would want to contact Joan at the shelter. I'm sure she would love to work something out. The weekly or monthly spay and neuter is happening this Friday. If you call up there and talk w her she might let you get them done for a discount.

I have a momma cat appx 1 yr old and 2 female kittens born june 3. I am allergic to cats but rescued the momma right before had kittens. All are housebroken and very good natured, lovable. Will SPCA take them and find homes?

They should. I fostered several families and they found homes for them all! But of course it depends on space. But never hesitate to take them up there.
