I would like to thank Action for Animals team for giving my husband and I the option to adopt a…read moreyoung homeless dog we truly were blessed to find in their shelter....the staff truly loves the animals they care for and do all they can to hook you up with the right animal you are searching for. Our pet fit right in from the start with a little patience and training they all need after being homeless for so long in a shelter. There are so many homeless pets waiting for their "forever home", I hope more people will realize the need for so many of them who are waiting for love and care and a place they can finally call home. Such comfort, love and joy this little guy has given us. If you are looking for your new fur family member, this is a great place to start at the Action for Animals in Latrobe.

Horrible experience -- truly at a loss for words…read more Our application was initially denied because our cat wasn't spayed. Fine. We immediately scheduled the spay for the very next morning. Then suddenly, they claimed our landlord said there was a two-cat maximum. When we called our landlord ourselves, he not only denied this to them but confirmed the lease says no such thing. So why lie? What should've taken one simple call turned into a series of frustrating and unnecessary hoops caused entirely by their disorganization and lack of communication. Their condescending, "we know best" attitude creates more barriers than bridges -- and ultimately prevents animals from finding loving homes. Despite knowing we lived an hour and a half away, they waited until 30 minutes before our cat was done with surgery -- meaning she would've waited over an hour for us to get there-- just to tell us the cat we'd applied for was adopted by someone else. Luckily, we were only 15 minutes away at that point. They insisted they "don't hold applications," yet somehow ours remained active during this whole process. And their excuse? "We couldn't guarantee you'd come back." While our 9-year-old cat was in their surgical suite. None of it makes sense. None of it felt fair. The lack of logic, empathy, or even basic organization was astounding. Save your time, money, and emotional energy. Go with Save Our Strays or literally any other rescue that's actually focused on matching animals with loving families -- not gatekeeping adoption with made-up rules and callous behavior.
