She took the time to reassure me, answer all my questions, and seemed to be very knowledgeable about the process. They were very transparent about the adoption process, the fees included, and what perks come with it. The facility itself is very nice. There were plenty of private rooms to spend time with the cats, and the whole place was extremely clean with no odor. Even though it was very busy when I went, service went pretty fast. The pet market where you can take recycled products was a nice touch and a good way to recycle gear. I had an extremely pleasant time here. The staff was beyond helpful and I'm so excited to bring the cat home!!

Found our Family Puppy here! ❤️ Extremely nice staff and Volunteers! Very welcoming! My daughter and I were very impressed how nice and clean it was too! Her comment was, “this looks like a dog hotel!” Thank you for all your help, specially Janice Bachtell our volunteer helper who assisted us during the adoption process, she was super sweet and kind! Highly recommend!
Great people, really nice facility. I've adopted pets from here before and also used them for the rescues I've worked with.
We recently adopted our cat Reggie from them and the experience was fantastic! All of the staff are knowledgeable and super friendly. The facility is clean and very well organized. The staff helped us meet Reggie and made sure he would be a good fit for us. Our adoption was smooth and Reggie is already running the house!
I was very moved when they showed such kindness , when I brought my kitty of 18 years in to be cremated
