The adoptions team is wonderful!! Nicole, Saba, Anya and Kass are professional, kind, patient and care a great deal about the animals. The officers at the desk have also been very professional and helpful. I've adopted two dogs from them and fostered a couple as well. You know that when you go back for a visit with the dogs and they are excitedly pulling you into the building that these folks take great care of the animals!! Keep up the good work!

It was supposed to be a trip just to go “look at the puppies”, but I guess I should have known better. One step into the shelter and I knew we couldn’t go home alone. The staff here are incredible. Everyone was so kind, knowledgeable, and willing to help us have the best experience possible. No one was pushy or insistent, just encouraging to help us find a perfect match. The dogs were well taken care of, and I was so impressed with their dedication to helping each dog receive enough training to be ready to go to a new home. The process was simple and straightforward, and they really took everything into account, making sure we felt safe, confident, and comfortable before walking home with a new member of the family. The SLC animal services center is phenomenal, and I’d highly recommend it

This was our first visit to Salt Lake County Animal Services, and we were truly impressed! The staff provides exceptional care for animals in need of a home and were wonderful to work with. We hoped to adopt two sibling tabbies—and we found the perfect pair of sisters!

I had a 14 year old dog, with lung cancer, blind in one eye and could hardly walk. That was picked up in front of my house. He was gone for 5 minutes and you can clearly see him walk towards the road on my cameras. When he was picked up by someone, obviously concerned. (Not blaming the person for caring, but maybe if the dog could hardly walk. You’d think they’d knock on surrounding houses doors to figure out where he came from.) But when arriving at the this awful pound, he was given DHPP Vaccine: Deworm- Pyrantel: as well as Bordetella- Intranasal Vaccine. . Which was a Saturday . I was unable to get my dog out of the pound until Tuesday because they weren’t open. When I finally got my dog out Tuesday, he was obviously unable to stand or even hold his head up. The lady carried him out to

We just had a great experience at the Salt Lake County Animal Services. We have been looking for a cat companion to our other cat and just haven't found the right cat. I checked out their website and we found a cat that was perfect. I emailed the office and received a prompt response to my question. The actual building is easy to get to and we were able to go to the cattery to view the cat we had inquired about, we spent a little time with her and decided to take her home. The process was easy and even though they were busy it was fairly efficient and fast. What I liked the best about this place is the fact that the staff was friendly and very helpful. I found their volunteers very friendly and helpful and grateful for our visit there also. This is not the same mindset as a well known anim
