Grant County Animal Shelter

I would give this place -5 stars if I could. I dropped off a Tuxedo cat that had shown up at my work on Christmas eve. He was a really sweet boy but he wasn't fixed. Some of the staff were incredibly rude and the lady who runs the place had a horrible attitude. After filling out paperwork and dropping the little guy off, I leave for work. This was about 3 pm. At 9 pm, the same cat shows back up at my work. Turns out, nobody wanted to fool with "the mess" of an unfixed animal, due to the holiday break they were taking. So the solution was to just put an unfixed cat back out into the community, next to an interstate exit, in 10 degree weather? VERY PROFESSIONAL!!!
