Walked in to see the workers all up front around a desk. They looked at me like I was an alien, when finally someone asked if the could help me. I told them I would like to see the dogs, at that point I was informed that nobody is allowed in back to see the dogs, but they have a wall of the dogs pictures of them.Having worked at an animal shelter years ago, it shocked me to hear that. How can you connect with a dog seeing just a pic? Of course if you like the picture they will bring the dog out, but seeing the dogs in person would have been nice.Please comment if you think this is right.Alice Nelson

This was the first time I've been in the new building. The dog we went to see was gorgeous! Had she been a couple years older we would have brought her home. I loved the room we met the pup and introduced the dogs in. Terry was exceptional! My special needs son was a bit overstimulated and Terry was so understanding of our situation. We got our current dog from this shelter, previously and he's been an incredible addition to our family.

Young, enthusiastic staff. Dogs looked well-cared-for. Beautiful facility, spacious. Not the cleanest place, more could be done to keep it clean.

My cat was wrongfully placed at this shelter 1 year ago and I’ve finally been able to track him to this shelter. I know he’s probably adopted by now, he’s a white and orange cat, would been be about 4 years old now. He was my SUPPORT ANIMAL that my ex guardians gave to the shelter a day before kicking me out of their house. He has a light orange circle on both of his sides (in the already orange fur) and a white belly. Greenish-orange eyes. Super spunky and has a lot of character. His name is Jack.

I called the animal shelter last week when I found a cat at the cemetery. I asked about the shelter's hours so I can bring the cat in.The woman had a choice. She did not have to be hateful to me. I have choices also. We have always funded the animal shelter we will no longer be supporting them . I am sure that that can be a very thankless job he thinks this job but there is no reason for anyone to ever treat someone so disrespectfully as that woman treated me.

We made an eight hour round trip on more than one occasion, just to come here. Caring staff takes excellent care of the people and animals. We highly recommend Stephen Memorial animal shelter!

Peggy doesn't leave my side. She snores like a cage fighter. She's the perfect dog I was looking for.

We found our rescue dog at their facility. She's a beautiful Monica Matic border Corgi, and we could not have asked for a better pupper. The people that had her before us had obviously mistreated her in some manner or another, but with Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter disclosing all of their concerns plus allowing the kids my wife and I to play with her for an extended period of time before we adopted her, we are very happy that we made the decision to be her forever home. I would love to have many many people to seek them out as a possibility to find there next fur baby.
