★★★★★ 5.0 Katelyn Evans · Nov 2025

I absolutely LOVE this place and what they're doing for these animals as well as those of us who come there to take one of these sweet babies to their forever home. Setting up a meet and greet was a breeze, the facility was beautiful and I will never ever get another pet from anywhere except for here!! When we adopted our sassy little Kota from here, we were given treats, so many toys and accessories for walks like a foldable drink bowl and poop bags, a leash and collar, food and any medications our baby was on. They go all out to help get you going and are just the sweetest group of people! Thank you for all you do and I can't wait to get my Kota a sibling, pending a successful meet and greet of course! Lol

Hm ok me and my boyfriend came to adopt a cat and checked them out they say they care deeply for there animals… but I saw some reviews were not too complementary but that happens sometimes so I tried to look behind it but now we’re kinda having issues that are now gone..? I’m not sure. Personally I’m going to say if you adopt a cat don’t call these people for help… especially with a cat you adopted from them if you want to ask more about how to warm them up to ur home because they know the cats personally more. Also on the website they do not tell you if the cats personally will bite you or not or will potentially bite you at random so you will have to go in and find out if the cat you like will be a biter. Which of course is no fault of the cat, but fault of not putting it on the website

January 31st 2026 marked my 2 year Gotcha Day anniversary with my 2 best friends I adopted from Animal Friends. ♥️ I could not recommend Animal Friends enough. Their staff was absolutely wonderful, kind, and beyond caring during the whole adoption process. There aren’t enough words to describe how grateful I am for the staff and for my bonded doggie pair. Thank you Animal Friends for all that you and your staff do! ♥️ Blessed to be part of the same community! Love, Champ and Hazel

We had a meet and greet today for a potential adoption into our multi dog home. The behavior staff were incredible. They structured the session and closely observed the dogs’ body language throughout the experience. What a skilled team!! Thanks to their expertise, everything went beautifully!
