★★★☆☆ 3.0 Louisa Troyer · Feb 2026

The place is clean and staff are sweet, but after reading responses to some of the lower reviews, all I can say is that please, chill out. The point of writing reviews is to express complaints and mark what's good. The owner of these place seems to be very short tempered. The other workers, however, are excellent

★★★★★ 5.0 Donald Drobisz · Mar 2026

The folks here were very cooperative, and helpful. They had me fill out' an Application for a dog I would like to take home. Haven't heard from them however, and now wondering what my status is. Remaining hopeful, D.D.

Nothing but good experiences here. I’ve brought Several lost animals here and they take great care of them and try to find their families and reunite them. And if/when they can’t find the original owners they place them in a good home. They Also give out free dog and cat food to those in need. And blankets or beds that are donated for the animals as well. I included a couple pics of the cute dogs I’ve dropped off there.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lauren O’Mara · Oct 2023

We adopted Rosemary almost two weeks ago! We had a great experience with HSAC! We went to meet some kittens, and I briefly explained what we were looking for, and as soon as we met miss Rosemary we knew she was the one! We came back a few days later to pick her up and they sent us home with a bag full of food and toys! Rosemary made herself right at home and is exactly what we were looking for, we are so happy to have her as a part of our family!
