The Animal Service League, Inc.

First of all, just look at how many one-star reviews they have. It’s remarkable. They deserve a one-star review just to note how many one-star reviews they have. In all seriousness, my experience with The Animal Service League was in fact one-star worthy. My story is very short and not even worth rehashing but I will for the sake of credibility and to help potential adopters look for pets elsewhere. I applied for a cat using their application system on the site. Humbly, I was a great applicant, great housing, lots of space, experience in positive reinforcement training, financially stable, the works. On top of this, my home was already pet proofed with cable covers, anything swallow-able locked in a closet, for the sake of my own pets. All my pets up to date on vaccines, regular (more than

I've adopted 4 pets from ASL and had a great experience each time. They do all the can to make sure the pets go to a good & safe home. All of the pets we adopted from them were very healthy & up to date on vaccinations. They're a no kill shelter. I highly recommend ASL and their kind staff. Attached are photos and Neptune & Phantom.

I was very happy with Animal Service League and their adoption process. Andrea responded timely to all emails and to my application. The entire process from submitting my application to taking my cat home was about 3 weeks. They schedule appointments to meet or adopt the cats on Saturdays as it’s all volunteer run. I didn’t mind this at all because it also shows me how thorough they are to ensure their cats are adopted into a great and safe home! If you truly want to adopt a cat for the right reasons, I don’t feel anyone should have a problem with their process and should actually appreciate how thorough they are. They really care about their cats! Also, Andrea texted me some cute photos (see photo) during the adoption process so I could see my buddy which I felt was above and beyond! Ever

I adopted Bowie, Django and Tori from ASL. They take great care of the cats and the rooms are so clean! Fast response time to inquiries, and very pleasant folks to deal with. Andrea was great and took the time to talk to me at length after hours. No other shelter returned my inquiries for adoption except ASL, so I am going there tomorrow to adopt another cat. Yay! Not sure why all the negative reviews. If you were turned down for adopting, the shelter was doing what was best for the cats. They are looking out for the cat's best interest--not yours. They really do care about finding the best homes for these forever friends, and I really appreciate that. Update 4/12/23: Since my last review of ASL, we adopted Nigel and Jon Snow from them.

I’m posting to inform others of my wonderful experience with ASL. I was slightly hesitant to work with them after reading some horrible reviews on this site. My experience was quite the opposite, and I have major respect for ASL, the wonderful facility, the volunteers and most of all the care they provide for their cats. If you are hoping to walk into a shelter and adopt a cat right away, this is not the place for you. Both Andrea (the president) and Amy (the vice president) do a very thorough job of screening/interviewing who to adopt their kitties to. You will have to fill out and application and have vet references checked before even going to visit. Once you get there, you will spend some time visiting cats in their various rooms, moving from one room to the next (without being able t
