If it were possible, I would give this location zero stars. My experience with the customer service…read moreon the morning of June 16, 2026, was extremely disappointing. I found the staff in the front office to be unprofessional, discourteous, and lacking the level of respect and customer care that members of the public should reasonably expect. Based on this experience, I do not plan to adopt from this location again. The interaction left a negative impression and raised concerns about the quality of customer service being provided. I hope management reviews these concerns and takes appropriate steps to improve staff professionalism and customer relations. This review reflects my personal experience during my visit and is intended to provide constructive feedback regarding the service I received.

Don't bother with this place unless the animal is at deaths door…read more We walked in and I told the lady in the red top with botched lashes that we had a 2 pm appt (this was at 1:50) and she's like well it's not 2 pm yet and under her breath she said "I hate my job" and so I asked her if there was anything we needed to fill out while we wait and so another lady jumped in and said she'll take the cat to the back to see because if the cat is healthy but they can't take it in unless it's sick and injured so she checked out the cat for about 2 mins and said the kitten was fine so I was like well can we put it up for adoption and they clarified that no exceptions can they take a healthy cat which is fine because I know shelters are at capacity. My mom had a similar experience trying to rescue a cat as well so it's a pattern. That woman is the first thing you see when you walk in unfortunately and is extremely rude and unprofessional saying things unprovoked. Would not recommend.

This is a wonderful resource for those who find stray animals and want to foster/adopt them. I…read morefound my Theodore on my porch two weeks ago, and today I finally adopted him. They have provided everything I needed for him and more, from shots to microchip to neutering! Andy works the foster side and she is literally a lifesaver. Every interaction I've had with her she has been professional, compassionate, and friendly. There was a situation that I was pretty upset with and Andy perfectly de-escalated it and made me extremely happy. I'm a little embarrassed at how angry I was (and I never get angry), but she really did a great job of bringing me back down. I would highly recommend this place!

I turned 18 last October and as my first big decision as an adult, I decided I wanted to adopt a…read morepuppy. I had a puppy as a child, but after he passed traumatically, I never owned another animal other than cats. When I first looked on the SPCA website, I was so excited when I found a dog I found cute. His name is Cupid!! Setting up an appointment to meet him was very easy. I made an adoption application for a meet-and-greet with him and it got approved in less than a few hours. Scheduling was very open and compatible with even my mess of a schedule. As soon as I got to the shelter, they brought out Cupid and he got to meet me and my mom's dog. He was a little bigger than expected, but besides that, I knew he was meant to be my baby. He was skittish, but he warmed up fast and I immediately adopted him. The prices listed on the SPCA website were actually incorrect... he was $300 cheaper!! Not only was it only $100 to adopt Cupid, he came with a collar and engraved tag with my phone number and his name, a leash, his microchip and its information, a bag of the food he was currently on, and a folder with plenty of information about how to make your puppy comfortable in it's new home. Thank you, SPCA, for making adopting so easy! P.S: I have to say, I've only had Cupid for a short amount of time, but I can tell you that he is the sweetest boy. I only got him last week and he knows how to sit, go potty only when outside, wait for me to give him his food, and a bunch more. He is the light of my life.

We've been here before. We brought our two cats when they were having a special on vaccinations and…read morethe staff was great with them. But this is our first time adopting here. The process was quick and easy. I booked an appt same day, we walked around looking at all the animals. They are soooo cute! The cat area is adorable, they have a cat patio and inside is decorated adorably. The cats do just want affection which is heart rending. I wish i can take more than one home. My Mariah found a kitten she liked. The fee to adopt a kitten was $150 and he was fixed and had his vaccinations up to date. We chose his name, they had a collar made for him. They sent him with a cat carrier, just fyi. Again great experience!!!

I didn't have to wait at all which was amazing! Communication with her was so easy! I have had four dogs (including the one I have now) in the past but this puppy is the smartest and easiest pup I've had. She is healthy and eats well and I can tell that they took really good care of her before they gave her to me. I strongly recommend adopting from here if you are thinking of adopting. I am thrilled to have found this organization! Anais
