Midlothian Animal Shelter

Wow, I had a baby squirrel stuck between the roof and the patio and she came out in less than 30 minutes! She freed the squirrel and literally carried it to the mother!

Staff was not very friendly on the phone. Before I even finished asking my question they abruptly were answering it. Then I asked a question about why an animal would be transferred to another facility and the lady on the phone answered it like I was stupid for even asking the question. I’m sure they get the same questions a lot and I’m sure that can get very annoying but was disappointed with how they responded to someone wanting to adopt a pet.

Don’t bother with this place. Refused to take on orphan kittens when I called them. So I just showed up instead and they still refused because the person that found them originally doesn’t live in Midlothian. Nevermind where I live - the person who has been caring for them for 2 weeks. What I’ve learned from this whole ordeal - animal shelters AND rescues are worthless. I see now why people dump animals on the front steps of shelters - it’s the only way to get them to take them! I’ve tried for two weeks to get these kittens into a shelter or rescue with NO LUCK. I’m at my wits end and can’t care for them any longer.

I was so disappointed in my whole experience there. The inside of the shelter is dark and gloomy and seems to have no insulation for sound proofing. the cats were all stacked up in cages on top of each other in the back area of the same room. i was really surprised at the ugly conditions.

Thanks for coming out so quickly!! I appreciate your time and effort in finding the animal!! Thanks from KIDS Care Center!!!
