★★★★★ 5.0 Cassie Foster · Feb 2026

Lovely place. I got my first cat, Salem (previously Stetson), from this shelter. he had all his vaccines done, no health issues, beautifully taken care of, and does great with everyone in my home. only noticeable issue was a small bald spot on the back of the neck, likely from allergies or due to recent vaccines late last month. it's clearing up really well, and has visible hair growth returning! the staff was so nice there, and the adoption fee is super affordable. would recommend 💜

They've got a ton of animals with little staff. They love what they do and do the best they can. With that, it causes serious issues. Our dog did not have any vaccinations until being picked up (the vaccinations necessary to be in the environment of an animal shelter). The dog had kennel cough and a visible flea & mite infestation. They did not provide rabies records although fixed & vaccinated through their spay program, even with follow ups. Love my dog, love the people providing these services, but they are spread thin and need some hands to avoid serious mistakes.

All them girls down at that place tell you they can’t take anything right now they’re full, but don’t believe them they have to take them. They have no choice. I don’t like it either and I’d like to save all animals, but I hate cats and they’re not gonna be in my house on my land.
