Adopted Oreo on October 23, 2021. The staff made the process easy and efficient, and I was heading home with my new dog within an hour of visiting. I will definitely come back when I am adopting again.

So much to say that I don't know where to start. On 7/21/23 I went to the shelter to find a dog to adopt. I was greeted by a young woman and a young man. They were polite and friendly. I found a dog that I wanted to adopt. However they didn't know anything about her, that she gave birth approximately 3 weeks ago. They had named her Janey. She was in a caged inside a hot office. She didn't have any water and was laying on top and of her urine and her food was on top of her urine as well..The only person that could approve the adoption was Terri and she was not there. I was told that she would be there the next day at 10..I have came the next day at 11 but she was not there. I called her and she said that she was sick. After speaking to me in a rude and bossy manner I was told by her that she would be back Tuesday. When I got there Tuesday I was told that she had heartworm Not knowing anything about them, I asked if they was treatable?Terri said they were but neglected to inform me to inform me that could cost thousand dollars or more. I found out the next day when you I took her to the Vet office for her rabies shot and to schedule her for spaying. I have chosen to invest the money in the hopes that God and a good Vet can heel her..I've named her LU LU. She is so loving and is just craving attention so badly. More to say but I'll stop here. May God place His healing hands apond LU LU body and heel her of the heart worms.

Require you to fill out a form, then you must be evaluated, most are inside dogs, they might want to inspect your home or fenced in area, but the price of these unwanted and discarded dogs is respectable.I believe the trouble to go through isn't worth it when you can find dogs on Facebook rehoming pages.This is just my opinion, and in now way should it convince you to not call and try to adopt from this shelter, they are professionals and take great care of the dogs there.

We went Friday to the Humane Society and my husband and I had a wonderful experience! The staff was extremely friendly. The animals looked well taken care of and the kennels were very clean. We found our new baby here! I would recommend to anyone considering rescuing their next fur baby. I would definitely be a return adopter!

Don't try and help them with adoption events they cancel without telling the event center and have no communication skills. They don't want dogs adopted they want publicity from big businesses

My family and I went here to try and find a dog my 6 year old daughter and wife are not afraid of. We made 7 trips around looking at all the dogs. My daughter found only 1 she was not afraid of. We filled out the adoption application. We had a lot of questions and the staff answered to the best of their knowledge. Ryker was so new to the shelter and was not fully in the system. The great news was the nice lady that fostered Ryker was there she answered all my questions and concerns. Ryker was not fully ready and we were told he would be ready next week but we ended up bring him home and I still to get him to the Vet for a couple things. Ryker got onto our van and lay down on the back set and acted like him enjoyed the ride. Got home and he been exploring inside and out. This dog really blended into the family very well. He layed down beside our bed and fell a sleep fast.

First of all I didn’t wanna adopt from them again but I wanted to expand my family. The first time I adopted they said that the dog would be taken to the vet and PetSmarts groomer and when I went to pick up they had did everything themselves. And I just recently decided to try my luck again so when I went to look she showed us a chihuahua that was up for adoption and said that he need to calm down so they would give us a call when he was ready I called two weekends in a row and he still wasn’t ready. I call today and he’s been adopted!! They are very professional it took for me to call 3 times before they finally told me he had been adopted. I love giving fur babies furever homes but I will not longer bring me business here. They’ve disappointed me today!

We went by today and the conditions the dogs have to live in are terrible. This place is so bad it should honestly be shut down. There were 20+ dogs inside the building with no fan and it was 90 degrees outside so image how those dogs feel. The “workers” that were there looked like they never check on the dogs and they were surrounded by a cloud of smoke when we walked in from smoking. The condition inside the building where the small dogs were kept was so bad that there were dogs inside of small kennels in the heat. I have not stopped thinking about this all night. It was honestly like a horror scene. Shame on the humane society for not taking care of the animals better. I can understand some circumstances, but have those dogs inside the building in all that heat, I can’t believe none of them didn’t die of a heat stroke. Just shame on you. Someone please report this!! Someone needs to go in and see the conditions of those dogs then fire the employees that were sitting on their butts and not cleaning up or finding fans to put in that building or doing something! I really regret not taking pictures.

I'm not sure what these other people are taking about but I go here all the time and it is always clean the staff is always eager to help you with any questions you have and are always friendly. They have several fans placed throughout the entire facility to help keep the dogs from over heating and all the kennels have their own pool for the dogs to cool off in.

All of these dogs are so sweet! They have all sizes and all ages, with several different breeds. I love volunteering here, and I think anyone would be able to find a dog they love. All the dogs are well taken care of and there is such a variety!

They were all very nice and helpful. They helped us adopt the most wonderful fur baby for my dad. We fell in love with him before we got home. Thank you.

Very sketchy and unfriendly employees. Could not tell me anything related to the health of a dog I wanted to adopt. Dirty and horrible conditions for those poor dogs. Told me I could not give the dog I wanted the life he deserves because he would live outside and inside.

This is an old facility but the volunteer staff work very hard to provide the care that the animals need. They operate on a very tight budget which is sad because they provide a much needed service to our community. Please reach out and help them if you can. Cleaning supplies blankets food and treats are always needed and appreciated.

I am a big supporter of adopt, don't shop. All my animals have been adopted and are loved so much. The people working there are kind and you can see their love for the animals.

I went by today and adopted a sweetheart little dog named buster, they were very nice and all of the dogs seemed taken care of and very calm and nice. I’d recommend going here and helping these guys out as it seems they deserve it.

Just went by there for a possible adoption. Brooklynn ended up getting bit by one of the dogs. No signs of aggressive tendency not what so ever on this dog. All was said was your the third one he has bitten.

All of the animals are great. The people are so nice. In need of more volunteers I promise you'll have fun with dogs.
