This was my first time adopting from a shelter. Having recently lost my Great Dane I found myself looking to rescue a pup. Yes, the cages were dirty, many dogs were coughing, and the feeling of every animal watching intently longing to be chosen was heart-wrenching, especially for an unsuspecting first-time shelter visitor. What an incredible opportunity to volunteer and make a difference without the commitment of adopting - an opportunity I hope to seek out soon. I spent approximately 4 hours at the shelter, and adopted the only pup I asked to interact with. All the staff members/volunteers I encountered were cordial and helpful. The process was easy and far more affordable than purchasing from a breeder. Diego has been home for 2.5 weeks now, he is getting over his kennel cough without incident, and he is overall an absolute joy! Of course, it goes without saying, it was an added bonus to find his previous family had invested time in training him well. He's perfect!
4/5: I'm definitely a fan of this place. As good as it gets? As a first-timer I can't really say, but I was tempted to give out that 5th star.
