North Smithfield Animal Shelter

Honest experiences

2024-04

Ray Pentergast is highway director who has staff pick up dead animals and oversees shelter in his spare time. lol Seth worked for highway but became an expert animal shelter person with little to no training about animals He seems to care more than previous man and is nice but has to follow some state corruption .He also served in the military for a bit. Thank You Seth. The woman who works there Tracy is overwhelmed and can be a bit brass but, also seems like she cares. She does as much as her time allows with limited hours and one other staff member for the entire town? She needs a bit of help the problem is they don’t accept help easily. He Pentergast the man who has worked for state to long; promotes animal abuse and sleeps well at night, unlike the animals he gets paid to oversee. Pentergast encourages neglect and abuse by not properly training staff or, having enough staff. His spoken words shows a sense of governmental entitlement. He told me to find a cause. I told him I am a cause…Heartless person.

I couldn't be happier, my cat was stuck in a tree and I guess fire departments don't rescue cats from trees anymore and recommend animal control in north Smithfield. I called the lady explained my situation with my cat being stuck in a tree for hours and the lady came right out, used a lady in my yard and climbed up and got her. I'm so thankful to the lady at animal control. My cat Trixie sure is happy being back in the house. Thank you so much ❤️❤️

My mother found her neighbors cat neglected, matted and injured Friday night. She took him in and fed him gave him food and shelter overnight and brought him to animal control Saturday. Seth from animal control said he would get this cat medical attention AND NEVER DID! He returned the cat the the owners who he personally knows without any medical attention! This cat is still injured and needs to be taken immediately! This cat WILL NOT survive much longer without medical intervention!

I've needed the assistance of ns animal shelter 2 times in the past years, Scott was always great to deal with and Seth is carrying on with his level of diligence to the position.

Had to use the NS Animal Control a few times over the course of the years and they've always been helpful and willing to make the trip to the house to at least have a look if not be able to actually resolve. In the latter case they've always been able to recommend viable solutions or good and reliable contractors to lend a hand.
