| - I am seriously 50/50 on this place because of all the factors and how much they weigh:
The most negative things are- ITS A KILL SHELTER. 72 hrs for cats, and they're done! Dogs get a little longer, but here's my point-if you've lost an animal, you better get your ass here now! to find them and you have to go every other day (which is a damn 30 min drive for me) and don't forget to check the DOA/injured reports, and "animals out of public sight" catalog. They could be in there!
Second, I overheard a guy who found out his grandma's dog got picked up, who had a collar, and the shelter euthanized the dog without even contacting the owner to say they had the dog! the grandma left in tears with a leash in her hand!!!
Here's my median opinion-the people they hire are very low paid people and some are just plain not paid, volunteers....so what do I expect?
There are good things, redeeming qualities:
It is a clean, well maintained facility.
The adoptions areas are very nice, and they screen the pets that go into adoption.
If your animal is found and you claim them, they make you get the animal spayed/neutered if it has not been done already and they will give them shots.
Losing a pet is very sad and frustrating, but maybe you rescue another one to help both yourself and an animal on death row.
