Everyone I spoke with here was so helpful and professional. The staff truly loves the animals and I appreciate that they put extra effort into their bios on Facebook.

The meet and greet space outside was very comfortable and not overwhelming for my senior prior-shelter dog. I had such a positive experience here, and our sweet girl we adopted has adjusted beautifully.

Thank you for spaying/neutering your animals to avoid unintended litters! And thanks for the 5 star review!
Had our male cat neutered through the humane society for very inexpensive. Everything went well and the cat is healthy.
I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone they are neglectful and unprofessional when it comes to the care of the animals I was a foster not once did they check to see where I lived ect they let anyone foster and adopt out to anyone without doing a physical home check they also treat thier fosters very poorly theres alot of favoritism several other people will tell you this shelter isnt a good one I suggest going somewhere else this kelly Nelson and Nancy very rude and unprofessional
