    We have been fortunate to adopt Itty Bitty , a terrier mix.. The shelter helped us pick the perfect…read moredog for our home.. She great someone at the door by barking and then if she recognizes them she cries until she is in their arms or being given a good rub!! Love this place..

    I took my 17-year-old kitty to be euthanized yesterday at the shelter. I had an appointment at 2:00…read morep.m. they took my baby back. They told me on the phone that I could not go back with her which broke my heart. I've never left my kitties or dogs alone to be put to sleep without being with them. But I'm a senior citizen on social security with little funds having seven pets at home. So I went ahead and took her there to the shelter So an hour after that I was waiting and waiting and waiting and Iwent back to the desk and asked what was taking so long? They told me because of the cat's age 17 years old, that it was taking her longer to be put to sleep because her blood flowed slower. I have had cats for over 30 years, six at a time and put many down up to 21 years of age. That was the most ridiculous explanation I could ever imagine‼ At 90 minutes I went back to the desk and said give me my cat. I'm going someplace else to what is going on??? and a lady came up and said the same thing and that they were almost done. I told him how upset I was, and that I was going to post on Facebook what a terrible experience it had been. When I brought my kitty home I unwrapped her from the bag that they put her in, so that my five other cats and dog could say goodbye. She had a sibling. They say you should let them see the dead pet, so that your other pets are not looking around for her and know that she is passed away. So when I unwrapped poor Coco I saw that both her front paws had been shaved, so obviously they had trouble finding a vein to put in the anesthetic ‼‼ Why couldn't they be honest and tell me that they were having trouble finding a vein to put the anesthetic in her? Why did they have to lie about it? Her heart would have been pumping 10 times faster, not slower being in a strange place, being put in a carrier, and driven there, so it certainly didn't have anything to do with a slow blood flow I would not take my pet there if anyone ever thinks of it, for euthanasia even though it only cost $25. They're liars. I have no idea what kind of terrible panic my kitten would have gone through back in that room for 90 minutes with these people stay away from this place unless you want to adopt

    I honestly don't even know where to start with this place. I am extremely upset with how this…read moreentire situation has been handled. When I adopted Huxley, I was told he was a sweet, loving, laid-back dog who had never shown aggression toward people or other animals. I trusted what I was told and trusted that I was being given the information I needed to make an informed decision about adopting him. Once he was in my home, that was NOT the whole story. We discovered food/resource guarding that was never properly disclosed to me. There were also things in his vet history that I feel should have been explained to me before I adopted him. My own vet also questioned his age and believed him to be closer to 5 rather than the 2 years I was told. Then Huxley bit an older man at a dog-friendly restaurant when the man offered him a treat. He broke the man's skin and drew blood. And now he has bitten me. I have spent a lot of time trying to make this work because I genuinely cared about this dog. I am not trying to "dump" him somewhere because I don't want him anymore. I have reached the point where I don't feel safe or capable of handling his behavioral issues and I am trying to find him a home/rescue that actually can. Instead of helping me, they accused me of abusing him and trying to hurt him. That is absolutely unbelievable to me. You adopt a dog based on what a rescue tells you about that dog. If serious behavioral issues exist, adopters deserve to know about them BEFORE they take that dog home. You can't tell someone a dog has been nothing but friendly and gentle, have them discover serious issues after adoption, and then turn around and accuse the adopter when they can no longer safely handle the dog. I also find it incredibly concerning that their response seems much more focused on blaming me than on actually finding a safe solution for Huxley. I am not claiming Huxley is a bad dog. I don't think he's a bad dog. I think he needs a different situation and someone who knows how to handle his behavior. That's why I'm trying to surrender him responsibly instead of putting him in another unsafe situation. I would strongly recommend that anyone adopting from this rescue get every vet record, ask about resource guarding, ask about previous bites/aggression, and verify everything they possibly can before taking one of these dogs home. Because right now I feel like I was sold a completely different picture of the dog I adopted, and when I finally said I couldn't safely handle it anymore, I was treated like I was the problem.
