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.

I want to start out by saying I don't aim to prevent animals from being adopted, as I think all of…read morethe animals here deserve to find loving homes. However, I recently adopted a cat from White Oak Animal Safe Haven, and if I knew then what I know now, I never would have adopted from here. We took our new cat to the vet after about a week of having her home, and she tested positive for Giardia and Coccidia, two types of parasites. If you don't know anything about this, a quick google search will show you what a process it is to get rid of these parasites in cats. It is really difficult to get rid of and has been an emotional roller coaster. We have spent hundreds of dollars in vet bills and cleaning supplies. We had to treat and quarantine our resident cat. We have a carpeted apartment which makes this so much harder to get rid of. We spent hundreds on carpet cleaning alone. It is also highly contagious, so it is very likely all of their cats and possibly dogs could have this as well. I find it very hard to believe the shelter had no idea their cats have this, and if they didn't, they are not properly vetting their animals (which is funny because they told us they denied someone's application because they said they wouldn't take their cat to the vet). Giardia and coccidia cause the cat to have really bad diarrhea and gas, so if they really did not know their cats were infected with the parasites, they were knowingly not seeking care for their animals. We noticed the smell on the drive home after picking her up, so there's no way they didn't know something was up. They never once mentioned to us that this is something they were dealing with, and they knew we had another cat at home. So they risked my current cats health as well. The adoption process is quite intense and very thorough, which I don't think is a bad thing necessarily; however, to have that type of adoption process and then give me a sick animal is crazy to me. After we got the results, I called the shelter to inform them in case there's some possible way they didn't know, and the woman I spoke to was kind of rude and very dismissive. No apology or anything. I will say, we had a good adoption otherwise. The cat coordinator was very kind when we went to meet the cats and when we picked up the cat we adopted. I just can't believe they gave us a sick cat and never felt the need to mention anything. All of this being said, be aware that if you have recently adopted a cat or plan to, there is almost a 100% chance they will also have Giardia and Coccidia because it sometimes takes multiple rounds of medication and cleaning to fully get rid of this. Our cat has been on one cycle of meds already, and there has yet to be improvement. I don't know how long this has been going on, but if you want to adopt from here, please do some research so you can get it right from the beginning and help the sick cats. It is treatable but it requires a lot of time, money, and consistency.
