    Beautiful cats and nice women, but I think they want to keep the kitties lol. It's more a place to…read morelook at sleeping cats. VERY gate-keepery. Right off the bat, you must remove your shoes, which I can understand, I guess. I felt shamed for having only a one-bedroom and renting. Their faces were shocked! You can't take home a cat the first day, as they do extensive background checks which can take awhile. Every cat I asked about, was unavailable. I even asked who most needed a home/ who has been here the longest and she said "it's not really a matter of them NEEDING a home" and trailed off ;) I felt like I wasn't good enough to adopt a cat from them! They made me cry I was off my hrt, though and I'm sensitive. I could go on, but I'll stop. They do love cats! Queen Kitty is less fancy, the people more normal, has more cats, a quicker and easier process while still making sure you're safe for the cat -- and $100 less expensive with all the shots and neutered. They were happy to see us and showed us many cats. They actually wanted people to adopt them! The boy I adopted had been found in a speedway parking lot in WD and did need a home. Very happy and my kitty slept with me in bed from day one! Meant to be:) I went ahead and stopped donating money and gifts to WW, but still have recurring cash donations to several cat charities, and attend to a few of their Amazon wishlists. These cats are very happy where they are! They don't need anyone to adopt them.

    In mid-December, my husband found an English bulldog named Olive on the Petfinder website. On…read moreFoster Farm's website, I filled out an application to adopt Olive. The application asked questions about our employment, housing, any fences, how we would give the dog exercise and other necessary things, our current pets and their veterinarian records, any experience that we have with this dog breed, if we have ever given up any past pet, etcetera. I spent time to write many thoughtful paragraphs of text. Two days later, the Foster Farm contacted me and said that they wanted me to adopt Olive, pending my answer about an invisible fence (which they do NOT allow). (I read other Yelpers' 1-star reviews about filling out applications and never hearing back. The Foster Farm is run by volunteers who have jobs or are in school, so they are low on time, but they should get back to you.) On that same day, they approved my application for Olive, and they scheduled my husband's and my first meet-and-greet/adoption with Olive for a few days later at our request to fit our schedule. In the meantime, the Foster Farm answered our questions via email about what size of collar and carrier to buy, what type of food to buy, etc., so we could shop in advance. They also emailed me photos of Olive. The adoption fee was $325, which was supposed to include vaccinations (DAPP and rabies), a microchip, deworming, and a future spay. Payment options were PayPal, Venmo, or a check. On December 22, a Foster Farm employee drove out to our house with Olive. She wore a face mask as a COVID-19 precaution. She allowed us to spend time with Olive on our couch, and she spent time to answer our questions before she left. I am deducting one star from my review, because the Foster Farm gave us *NO MEDICAL RECORDS.* I asked for medical records multiple times, particularly for the vaccines, and they said that they did not have them. The Foster Farm had told me that they would pay for a clinic to do Olive's rabies vaccine, which was included in the adoption fee, but the clinic for some reason did not do the rabies vaccine. With ZERO medical records for Olive other than for the spaying, I paid my veterinarian to do ALL vaccinations from scratch. The clinic did scan a microchip and give me the number at my request. In addition, the Foster Farm had told me that they had dewormed Olive, but when I took Olive to my veterinarian for a fecal test, the test came back positive for intestinal parasites, and I paid my vet to deworm Olive. Maybe the Foster Farm had dewormed the dog, but she contracted parasites again from other dogs in different foster homes or when she was adopted by another family? Olive is a very nervous dog who needs to be housetrained, but she has a very sweet personality, and she gets along with our cats (yay!). I think that the Foster Farm placed her into the right home, and their fee of $325 for a bulldog was very reasonable. For those reasons, I will award 4 stars. But I do recommend that the Foster Farm pass along vaccination records.

    Just adopted a dog from the Foster Farm this past week, and they are a wonderful organization. They…read morereally read our application and took into account what type of dog we were looking to adopt. The process was simple and our pup's foster mom was very personable, understanding, and professional. We could not be happier with our new family member, Rex!

    Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh (HARP) has three campuses, and this location is on the North…read moreSide. This campus has a veterinary center as well as a shelter for admissions and adoptions. The parking lot outside is free. In previous years, I took four of my cats to the veterinarians here. The veterinarians spoke very politely and thoroughly to me, and they performed accurate medical examinations and treatments for my cats. Please note that the veterinarians focus mostly on preventative care, such as wellness exams, vaccinations, non-emergency illnesses and injuries, etcetera. During my previous visits, the prices for services were very reasonable. During my most recent visit, I looked at the cats and dogs who were available for adoption. All of the employees promptly and kindly helped me to learn about the pets' personalities and health issues. They gave me a form to fill out, and then they arranged for me to meet a dog in a meeting room. I thought that the animals' cages were clean. Adoption fees were reasonable and varied based on the type and age of animal. This shelter also offers training classes for dogs. The classes are available in beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, and the trainers use positive reinforcement.

    My friends and I went on a Sunday morning right when they opened, and we were the only ones there…read more The woman was extremely welcoming and warm, and it was clear she cared about all the kitties and their well-being. They also have a little boutique where you can purchase items that support the organization. I left with two stickers, two cat toys, and a mug mat. I recommend stopping here if you're looking to adopt, or just want to hang out with some cats for a bit!

    This was by far the dirtiest and most disgusting place I have ever been to…read more I called ahead and specifically asked if they had kittens younger than 4-5 months old. They told me they did. I then asked how many, and they told me they had 17 kittens in that age range. I drove 55 minutes to get there because I was coming from far away. When I arrived, I reminded them that I had called earlier and asked again if all those kittens were available. They said yes. Then they told me I had to pay $10 just to see them. Excited to finally choose my kitten, I paid the fee and went in. To my surprise, there were only three actual kittens around 3-4 months old. Every other cat they showed me was 8, 9, 10 months old or even older. When I asked where the 17 kittens were that they told me about on the phone, they pointed at those older cats and claimed those were the kittens. They looked me straight in the eye and lied. I asked several times before paying because I didn't want to waste my time. They assured me they had them. Only after taking my money did they show me what was really there. I stayed for about two minutes, realized I had been misled, and left. It's not even about the $10. It's about being lied to and wasting almost two hours of driving time. Absolutely terrible experience. I would not recommend anyone waste their time or money here.

    This place is the most amazing shelter I've ever dealt with. My family has adopted multiple animals…read morehere and in our time of need they were there for us. Suffice to say my family and I are forever grateful for WOASH for their care for not just the animals but the people and families in the community, too.

    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.
