It's day 5 with her and she's had blood in her stool everyday. I've reached out and have been told there's no availability until next month. You would think they'd be all over it trying to see what the issue is or want us to bring her in since it's a pretty serious thing. Last I was told was they'd reach out to their director to see if our puppy could be seen in between a surgery tomorrow and here we are today no response back still and more blood in the stool. Went to academy animal hospital and found out she's got 9 parasites in her from being exposed to pretty much nasty environment. Fast forward 2 weeks later the puppy is healthy and gained weight. She's running playing and much happier. Go some where else trust me.

I can not extend my thanks to this establishment enough. The workers I've encountered/talked to…read morewith my three visits here have always been very nice. They took care of both of my babies spaying and their prices are affordable! My baby was cold so they brought her out wrapped in a blanket and were kind enough to let me keep it. You can get microchipping, spay & neuters, vaccinations, and more here. My favorite feature is that you can conveniently book an appointment through their online portal. They'll email you thorough details for your appointment and they sell a variety of pet items at their office. Lovely place!!

You need to have at least a 2 to 3 day waiting period before you inject 3 vaccines in 1 day. I'm giving her a couple more days, hopefully I won't need to take her to the vet. Change your vaccine policy, please!

I have adopted two shelter pets so far and both have been the most loving fur babies I've ever…read moreknown. The first was "Mister", an incredibly sweet, miniature schnauzer with silver hair (just like mine), so we were inseparable for the rest of his years on earth. The next was "Nakey Jake", an amazing, two-year-old, Sphynx! He's my hairless fur baby who is loving, playful, and sassy. He's proud of his uniqueness, and loves to cuddle when I'm home from work. You'll notice that neither of mine had (or have) actual fur. Schnauzers have hair, and Sphynx have no fur. The SPCA staff and volunteers in Lenoir County are simply wonderful! They care for some very special animals who end up abandoned for some reason, and they keep their stress levels low while finding them the best homes. Adopt one today!

They are starting on the new building that will be located on Hwy 258 Kinston and everyone is excited about that! In the meantime, they have so many animals who need to be adopted. Please everyone if you want a new fur-mily member go check this SPCA to see which dogs and cats they will have. They change all the time so what is there this week won't be the same next week. Keep shopping around each week if you are serious about getting a pet. They occasionally also have other animals (other than dogs and cats) so call and/or go stop by so you can bring one home with you. You will be saving a life.

After losing my dog in March, I finally got the courage to adopt.

Yes they are a kill shelter if due to aggression or medically compromised that a rescue partners can't take on. They have made drastic measures to have people stop dumping their animals. Its not just on the county shelter to house the strays. Its on the owners of the property where they are located. Stop making it someone else financial burden. Take ownership. Animal adoption is for the life of the pet. Being a foster they provide the supplies needed you just supply the love and attention till they can do on the adoption floor.

Upon arrival to the grooming salon, Kristina was already irritated and informed me that because my…read moredog did not get along with other dogs she would have to rush through his grooming because there was a full schedule today. I informed her that it's okay if she can't dry him as he has never liked the blow dryer. She informed me that they would shave him "dirty" and then give him a bath to which I said what ever is easier for y'all. She calls us an hour later to pick up my dog. His haircut is so bad. He's got insane streaks, his legs, his tail, and his head are not shaved. We were charged 89$ for my dog to look like Frankenstein. I have taken my dog there for about 8 years on and off , however this last year things have really changed with this salon. He used to have no issue having his nails cut and after going to this salon he will not even let us touch his feet ( which everyone knows what that means). However until today the salon has never returned him to me looking crazy or even wet for that matter. It was not until he was groomed by Kristina that things really escalated. The manager of the store did refund me for the haircut, which I appreciate, but morally I feel I have to leave this review. I think we all have to deal with difficult things at work, but most of us manage to still be a decent person and act with kindness. Especially when you are dealing with a senior animal). I wouldn't trust Kristina to shave a strangers leg let alone touch my dog again. My dog is high strung and loud, not aggressive what so ever, he does not like the blow dryer. I know this and always tell them it's okay if you cannot dry him completely , I would rather him be damp than stressed out. He is 9 years old and has hip dysplasia in one hip, all I ask is that his hair be cut for the summer. I'm disappointed but honestly I appreciate this experience because who knows what happens behind closed doors.

Just don't get your heart set on one shepherd; he/she might not be available even though the photos are still up with no notice of "pending adoption." That's a draw back, as I see it. The workers are volunteers and donate their time to the cause. That's very commendable! It might take some effort, and you might not get the shepherd that you want (at first); but there are many shepherds (mainly mixes) that you can pick from once you have been fully vetted. They do have a high satisfaction rating.
