Customer Reviews
We had an overall amazing experience with furry friends refuge. We adopted our first dog to add to our family and they were so helpful set us up with everything we needed to get her started, we also were given all her medical records and basic information about her. The staff gave us tons of information about her past so we are aware of what she has been through. The staff were super friendly and answered any and all questions we had. They made the adoption process easy and fast with a very professional manner. We will only ever be getting our pets from Furry Friends Refuge! Thank you for the amazing staff, facilities and overall experience!
Throughout the years, I have stopped by this shelter to see the small animals, and to drop off donations. While it's wonderful that this is a no-kill shelter and that is great to see cats and dogs enjoy more freedom at foster homes and bigger rooms, that mindset needs to extended to small animals as well. I noted some distressed rabbits that clearly need a break from the busy shelter environment. I did have an opportunity to share this feedback with Bryn and she was polite and receptive. She also took the time to answer questions about the animals' medical. I appreciated that. However, I must say that there's one employee by the name of Mayzsin who is better off not interacting with potential adopters. Throughout time, there has been a few interactions with this particular staff that ju
I adopted my cat Dracula (formerly known as Loki) from here, it's very well maintained and they are incredibly generous with what they allow you to take home! They gave Dracula a free cat bed (he doesn't use it because he's a cat) and allowed me to borrow a cat carrier, and just asked I bring it back! If I could give TEN stars I would! Adopt your furry critters here, they're well taken care of and loved. 🖤🖤🖤
I gotta say.... After reading the reviews, I wish I lived closer sp I could volunteer help in making this non profit more clean & more healthy of a place for these animals. Then I think to myself, what If I gets cat scratch!!?!!! Will I get sick from FIV? WHOA!! so I've not yet been here. I now plan to visit tho! Because I wish to see the unprofessional, rude and unfriendly staff so many reviews tell of i will pray for Our furry four legged friends.. saddened by suffering thought to be any better than a no kill...
Adopted the sweetest cat from Furry Friends 3 years ago! It was an easy process. We always love visiting the cat rooms.
