Animal rescue, adoption, vaccinations. Affordable, clean. Some animals will be sent to other rescues for faster placement. Holding area for strays.Pleasant personnel, caring. Accepts pet donations, blankets, towels etc.

Got my dog Luna here. She's a Pit Dalmatian and gorgeous! Staff members were so helpful and my wish came true when I got the call to come get her! She's a lot bigger now lol but it's a perfect place to go if you're interested in adopting etc. Thank you all! She is definitely at home lol maybe a little too comfortable...she sleeps with me every night under the blanket with her head on a pillow. It's great!

I have had great experiences here. We didn’t adopt but had our pup chipped and came back for the half price vaccinations. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Nyx thanks you!

I brought my little dog for the vaccines, it was fast. I recommend making an appointment before you go and that way you can have all the vaccines at once, I will get back for one that was unable at the time. Thank you 😊

I’ve always thought this shelter was always a little sus imposter if you know what I mean….. since renovation, they no longer allow volunteers, accept job applications, and they’ve closed off the adoption area for public viewing. On their Facebook page, they posted a gray and white cat. They said they were looking for its owners. Three days after that post, I see the exact same cat walking up to me in the street. I think a little bit of transparency would make this place in a little sus. Maybe consistency with animals that are up for adoption being posted on Facebook, maybe consistency posting animals that are being adopted would help fix this shelter’s image. It’s been years. Where is the website?

I wish I could give them 10 stars. Love this place, I got my best friend from here in 2019!If you don't see your soul mate on the website/ Petfinder, just go in. They have fur-buddies that haven't made it to the website yet. That's how I found my girlie. Good luck!

I will give 0 stars but one is okay. Brought my dog and they discriminate him for getting frightened over a vaccine and they wanted me to mussle him? I saw other big dogs and didn't tell them that. So discriminative, if you're going to have this job you got to be ready for all the obstacles

Very clean place. I adopted a puppy many years ago and the staff was very helpful and attentive to my needs for adopting a dog

I went to get my shots for the booster event and a consultant veterinarian there was extremely racist, ignorant and in patient while waiting for us to get her shots and said we were holding up the line that there was no one to hold up for there was no one behind us.

Thank so much Veronica. For your help. Excellent customer service and very helpful. What a Professional worker to add to that too. I didn’t have to wait on a call like I did with 4-5 other places that I called or had to go through those robot calls. -Eric millan. <3

Adopted my dog, Oliver, and my cat, Sabrina from this shelter. The staff was super helpful in helping both of them transition to living with each other

A staff informed that the dog has six people interested. We get there with the form signed and to find out that they not giving the dog because you have to be a home owner for this specific dog. They need to be more clear when they post about adopting a dog and be specific and clear with which dog need to have a Home owner. Sad what makes it better if you rent or own a home as long as you take care of the animal. home owners abandon pets as well if they don’t want it at all as they get older.

We had a female stray cat living in our yard for about 3 months she was very friendly but when she became pregnant in October we knew that she need to find a good home. Waggin tails save the day and we were grateful they were able to help find her a good home.

Unprofessional veterinary for an event, i believe it was racially motivated. Ignorant woman refused to give me her name to report her.

Was waiting outside for 10 min on a Monday before they opened, finally staff came out when they were supposed to open and said they are “short staffed” and that we can’t go in to see the dogs because they need to clean and immediately shut the door and locked it. She was completely rude and dismissive. Strange because most shelters I’ve volunteered at always let people see the dogs to get them out of the shelter, not keep them there longer. My guess is that no one cleaned the cages over the weekend and they didn’t want people to see the filth these dogs were living in. No other reason not to let people “adopt not shop.”

Super nice vet and ver friendly staff and people. The dog park is very nice for the pupers and is separated by the dogs weight class. Right next to it is a little exercise area with machines to workout! And right next to that is a park the kids to play in which is super nice and brand new the ground is made up of a very soft squishy material so that just Incase your child happens to trip and fall they will not be in pain at all trust me! And right next to this all is a soccer field and next to that is a field to run around in. normally early in the mornings or late at night on the soccer field there are actual soccer games going on but if your kids want to play soccer there once the game is over the field is completely free to play in! Over all this place is very safe for your pets and for your kids! The adoption fees there are also very fairly priced is you’re looking into adopting a pet! Every couple of times throughout the year there are some special days where the prices for adoption and for shots and checkups or discounted so I would definitely advise you to look into that!!!

They really care about the animals adopted my dog Tolí from there and she's been amazing. Erica the director is amazing as well, I met her one day while playing at the dog park and met her beautiful dog who's well trained and just demonstrated the importance of a good trainer.

Cicero and Wagon Tails are so thoughtful; they offer us vaccines for our cats and dogs at an great, inexpensive price. I'm so grateful for this. I'll still take my dog to her regular vet, but just for check ups and her thyroid tests. I saved $50 at this event This is so useful to me. :-) Thank you Cicero and Cicero Waggin Tails!

Cicero Waggin' Tail is a good place for the pets to get vaccinated, the prices are reasonable, the only change perhaps because of the Covid is that now you have to make an appointment! Staff is Very friendly and responsible.

It was okay but they don't have many pets and you can interact with the pets. But you really don't have many options. Its great because the people there are good plus good staff. But the bad thing is that there are many people who enter applications and you really don't have a chance. But other wise it's great.

The staff here really cate for animals deeply. They're super friendly and will go out of their way to help you and your adopted pet. Minus a star because their cage setup isn't sanitary.

Met this beautiful pittie here today when we dropped off blankets and toys for the furry friends... he was so cute and friendly, I wish I could take him home ... please spay and neuter your pets, #AdoptDontShop there are so many furry friends that need homes at a fraction of the price. That and the fact that some of these babies are also a product of irresponsible backyard breeders that were just trying to make money not caring where these babies end up. 😭😭😭
