Sun Valley Animal Shelter... WOW! What a great experience adopting our kitty Todd. My daughter and I went to a few shelters before finding Sun Valley and I was so impressed when we walked in. We were greeted, signed in, and then directed towards the kitty room to go play with and meet all of the cats up for adoption.
For the 3.5 hours we were there, everyone was helpful and knowledgeable and answered every question I had. The facility was extremely clean and organized.
We fell in love with a little cat named Todd and knew we would love to have him as part of our family. We talked with Sarah the adoption counselor and had a very extensive interview to make sure the cat we chose would be a perfect fit. I'm thankful they were so thorough because we have had our kitty at home with us now for 2 days and he is the absolute best fit for our family!
After our interview and time spent playing with Todd the shelter called my husband as well to make sure that everyone was on board with bringing Todd home. I'm so glad they vetted us as much as they did because they obviously really care for the animals they have taken in.
It is definitely a more strict and multiple-stepped process to adopt from this shelter than most, but I appreciate that because we were "matched" with a cat that was perfect for us and more importantly perfect for Todd.
I will always recommend Sun Valley to anyone looking to adopt the perfect pet for their family because as extensive as it is to adopt here, if you are selected for the particular pet you love, it's a life-long decision you know is right!
