| - An edited review after being contacted by the Director of Shelter Operations for AAWL concerning our experience at this location:
"Dogs, for a reason that can only be described as divine, have the ability to forgive, let go of the past, and live each day joyously. It's something the rest of us strive for."
? Jennifer Skiff, The Divinity of Dogs: True Stories of Miracles Inspired by Man's Best Friend
...and so shall I.
My wife and I were extended an apology for our experience of which the details have been removed as I do not want it to affect the chance of a pet finding its furever home. AAWL does care greatly about the animals and it shows here. This particular location actually used to be a mall pet store so the environment is similar with the kennels with the glass so you can fully see the pups and kitties and very clean facilities. The location consists of playpens and "meet and greet" rooms, small rooms that you can quietly get to know your potential new best friend. They sell pet toys (Ripple's personal favorite being a slingshot for tennis balls), normal treats, gourmet treats, and various other pet paraphernalia that I think is tax free. This adoption center normally carries more of the smaller breed dogs and young puppies as well as cats, if you are looking for a larger breed dog I would recommend the main AAWL adoption center.
"A dog is not a thing. A thing is replaceable. A dog is not. A thing is disposable. A dog is not. A thing doesn't have a heart. A dog's heart is bigger than any "thing" you can ever own."
