Playground review: it's a super nice space and is designed for ages 2-12. There's a ton of different equipment for all abilities.

My child enjoyed every opportunity to meet animals in a relaxed and educational environment. They have a wonderful playground outside and is free. The animal tour is $10 / adult and $3 for kids. Worth every penny, my kid had never enjoyed animals until this trip. The outdoor animals are in excellent comfort and clean areas. We fed goats and pigs. Then we went inside and saw Guinea pigs, rabbits, and a lizard! Phenomenal educational opportunity!! You do need a reservation for the animal tours and they have summer camp so call Ahead to make sure it's available. Parking is in the lot.

I met my new little family member at a 4th of July Block Party and knew she was the one as I have been looking for quite some time now. After speaking with Holly Hicks (owner) and the rest f the staff it was clear that they were in this for the animals and truly cared about finding them loving homes. I filled out an adoption form and called Holly shortly thereafter. While she is not located in Midland, NC, she often meets there as she works closely with McCoy Feed & Supply http://www.mccoyfeed.net/ ( hence the address is McCoys) The adoption was $250 and includes her first shots, micro-chip, and spay when she is older (voucher). I also was given a huge bag of food, some de-wormer, and some special treats from McCoys. While I know not everyone can adopt, I strongly encourage you to donate as they are a wonderful organization http://tailsofhoperescue.org/available.shtml Thank you Holly, as I can honestly say Bindi has already enriched my life so much, I really admire what your organization does and am a very happy dog-mom!

We had been discussing for months on getting a new addition. Low and behold, we came across these beautiful puppies, filled out the application, and it added our name to the wait list. There was some mix up with when the puppies were born and having to wait longer to adopt. That's the only reason for 4 stars. Long story, but all worked out. We were able to bring home "Eric", now known as Baxter. He is a bundle of joy and is growing by leaps daily. I'd recommend looking for pups at this facility and other adult dogs.

We dropped in to the Cornelius Animal Shelter today to donate some cat litter, treats and toys…read more When we lived in New York we worked closely with the local animal shelter and would foster sick cats and kittens through them until they were ready to go back to the shelter and get adopted. Our new place down here isn't big enough to handle fosters, but we still want to help out all those poor kitties. The shelter is set up to hold about sixty cats at a time (not sure how many dogs), though when we went there were under twenty of them. The cages are very spacious and clean which is important to not only the cat's health but to make them more "attractive" to prospective parents who drop in. There is also a nice little wooded area set aside as a dog walking trail, so there is a nice place where their dogs can get some exercise. The employee at the front desk was very friendly and appreciative of our donation. The location is a little off the beaten path but still worth visiting if you're looking to bring home a new family member. The cost to adopt a cat is $85 and it's $95 for a dog. I would highly recommend adopting over purchasing from a breeder or somewhere else.

They fully disclosed the cats' medical histories and ongoing issues, gave us a discount on the adoption fee because the cats were 15 and 11 and still needed extra medical attention, and one of the volunteers brought one of the cats directly to our home as she had been fostering him at her house and thought it'd be less stressful on him to bring him over rather than back to AARF for us to then bring home. Everyone we've met clearly loves animals and wants the best for the ones in their care. Highly recommend adopting through AARF! Last night we went to their holiday open house and tree lighting, so we got to meet more of their volunteers, and we were treated like part of the family. Excited they'll be moving into a new and bigger space in the next few years!
