★★★★☆ 4.0 Sienna Williams · Jan 2026

I adopted my dog named schnauzer from here. The dog was very loving right away and great with kids. The staff asked me questions to make sure how was the right fit. And they made sure the process was seamless for me. The only thing I could say is the place did stink but maybe that’s from the nature of the situation. And when I first got the dog, she smelt like a skunk and her toenails was growing in her skin, but luckily I was able to Get a grooming appointment right after I adopted her. I do recommend this place. Just make sure you have a grooming appointment set up so they can smell good..

We had a great experience at C.A.R.E.S. I stopped in to drop off towels and decided to visit the kitten room. So many sweet summer kitties! I met my match and the team at C.A.R.E.S. walked me through the adoption, scheduled the next round of immunizations, and even talked about introducing her to my dog. Thank you for all your help!!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Washington Oklahoma · Aug 2025

Going through a traumatic experience having my dog/best friend taken from me and the first thing the staff says is “you know he’s going to be euthanized, right?” Even if it was the truth how dare you say that! I was under the understanding that he would not be and her saying this was not only inappropriate but devastating. I’m not ok. They did not handle the situation well.
