Caring, kind and patient people working here. We brought in 5 feral cats for TNR and one stray for adoption in the past couple months. They spay/neuter them in a very clean facility. What is great is they do not Euthanize the animals but find homes for strays 💗 Great organization. THANK YOU!!!

Great facility! We adopted our new dog here and the process was quick and simple. They’re currently by appointment only for adoptions, so be sure to go online and fill out the application and include the animal you’re interested in. You can find their available animals online and see some general info about them (if they’re spayed/neutered, age, etc) I submitted my request and received a call the following business day to set up a visit. We ultimately decided on Banjo and couldn’t be happier with our decision. He is so cuddly and sweet! The staff was also friendly and very informative, providing his past medical records and current vaccine certificate. Highly recommend this place if you’re in search of a new addition to the family. Adopt don’t shop!

Have reported dogs Loose that are dangerous the male dispatch is rude and hung up multiple times. He says an officer will call and nobody calls. It’s horribly upsetting. It would be nice is someone truly cared instead of gate keeping assistance to feel better about personal misery. A shame.

I visited this shelter to adopt a puppy. Once I adopted her, they scheduled her spay for two days later and I was able to pick her up and bring her home the same day she was spayed. Everyone I interacted with at the shelter was wonderful: kind and informative…I could not have asked for a better experience or a more perfect puppy! Thank you so much.
