  Such a wonderful group of people. They were short staffed the day I came but we're still very friendly and helpful. One of the ladies recommended a couple of kittens that might fit well with my family and I ended up leaving with a senior cat and one of those kittens. The senior cat had a bit of an infection and they gave me everything I needed to fix her up. I even met the person who had fostered the kitten until she was old enough to be put up for adoption. These people genuinely care about the animals and made adoption an easy process. Both cats are quite happy and my dog and new kitten are literally attached at the hip. Thank you for all your help!!

  Staff was extremely rude and unpleasant. I received a call back about an animal I was looking at for possible adoption, the lady was very short and snappy and said "...First of all someone already adopted her and second of all you have TOO many animals so we will not be adopting any animals out to you!...." She REALLY could have handled that much more professionally. There was no reason for her to have an attitude with me at all, she could have just apologized and let me know the animal already found a home. I do have a few animals, but I also have fertility challenges, so I care for my pets like they are my children. Therefore I do not appreciate the insinuation on her end that I already have enough animals and couldn't care for another.

  The staff is helpful and nice when we first went there and adopted a dog. But, everyone was so busy running in and out, we had to stop somebody just to ask about a dog. And then there's the long wait just to see the animal. For everyone's information! Once you return a dog there for any reasons, even if it's for the dogs own safety, you are pretty much stuck on their, "do not adopt too" blacklist. The shelter supervisor basically told us, no, we will not be able to adopt there anymore because we returned a dog. I'm hoping this goes for everyone!! And not just because we are Native Americans, which I am hoping was not the issue!
