They are really busy, don't take lunch breaks, very caring for the animals in their care, accommodating, reasonable fees, free bath for over three days of boarding, closed weekends but willing to open so you can pick up your pet if possible. Thanks Mrs. Kathy and her niece Jennifer we appreciate your business, love, care you have shown to us and our dog. read more

Super friendly staff, they immediately gave love and care to the rescue kittens. Thank you so muvh

Called in when they opened. Took 7 calls to get a real person. Set up a pick up for a dog that is in my back yard. Was told,they would give me a courtesy call. It is now 15 min before they close. No one is answering again after numerous tries finally got a person who went to check on it. So at 4 pm there may be a chance to come get this dog but it looks like tomorrow morning to come pick it up. If there was a way to give this place no stars I would. Telling me there is only 1 person picking up for all of Killeen. But I know people who work there. read more

Don't surrender your dog here! I've been to many shelters and this was by far the worse one yet. Half of the dogs looked sick one had bright green mucus coming out of his nose, another had yellow diarrhea all over her kennel. One even had a oozing cut on her nose. The kennels were filled with feces it looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a couple of days. The kennels were also outside and it was 34 degrees with a strong wind. They were shivering and miserable. A portion of the kennels are covered but it's not nearly warm enough. The website is asking for donations for blankets but walking to the back there's shelves of blankets and the dogs had one thin blanket each. Just sad, asking for dog coats would be a better donation request. I truly hope they do better if they actually care for these animals. On-site vet needs to be hired here ASAP read more

The only reason I gave one star is because I couldn't do 0. I adopted a sweet dog but as soon as they gave him to me he was weak and coughing. I asked the nurse is this normal or is he sick she took a look at him and looked at his file and said nope he is healthy. Took him home and his nose was constantly dripping with bloody snot. He was in physical pain and all he did was whimper and have no energy. I knew something was wrong, it is stated as soon as you adopt it is your responsibility for the dog. But they shouldn't lie and say dogs are healthy and give them in physical pain. Also the state of the dog living area was terrible most of the dogs in the shelter were in a small cramped space with only two fans on each side of the hallway it wasn't enough to keep them cool on a hot Texas summer day. Bottom line these people didn't care about their dogs. Terrible place read more

They don't deserve even 1 star! I reported several times about an abused puppy that they simply ignored. This time I reported about a pit bull on the loose, whose owners allow to roam free. It craps in everyone's yards and terrorizes people riding by on their bikes. Been two days and they still haven't gotten back to me. Again I say, these people are horrible! They do not care about the welfare of animals. They are just lazy and good for nothing. The police just tell you to contact animal control. So animal control does nothing, the police do nothing. What a shame. The animals who need our help get no help. And according to some of the reviews of those who have adopted animals from their care, these people are abusers and neglecters themselves. Again, if you see abuse or neglect, don't waste time with these insensitive people. You are the only hope the animal has. Not the so-called animal control! read more

Picked up dog that seemed friendly, got her home she was kind around me, found out next day while at work she clawed and bit my baby while my wife was trying to change Him. Asked to return her after business hours and they told me no because I get off work late. The next day I returned her and they told me I should stick it out longer with the dog who bit a baby and acted aggressive. Know it all said I didn't know how to take care of pets. Can't believe this is a community ran business. Give you 5 day return but expect you to give the dog 3 weeks to get to know your home. Dog also but other dog that we had at home. Do not adopt Lily a beagle mix if you have a family or other animals no matter what the shelter tells you. read more

Had a really good experience here! The staff was very friendly and answered all my questions. We adopted a 4 month old puppy today who was owner surrender. They gave every detail they knew about "Jack" now Chase and handed over everything the owner left for the puppy as well as documentation. They explained everything in detail for me and even asked if we could update them on how the puppy is doing! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the kennels did have animal feces but, I also went in the afternoon and looked fresh. As well as some of the officers passed by us to go inside while we where looking at the kennels and didn't even ask if we needed any help. The ladies at the front desk and the officer up front helped the most! Thank you Killeen Animal Shelter!! read more

Seeing other people's responses I was expecting to not be satisfied. I was very happy with the service and the dog I chose is very happy in his new home. Outstanding service. They provided vouchers for spade and neutering and small gifts for doggy to play with. read more

If you want a pet adopt from here if possible. Yes, they have to euthanize. It's a fact of life in Killeen that the city is overrun with backyard breeders and hundreds of strays never reclaimed. They were at max today and 18 dogs came in. 18! No adoptions!! Those that care for the animals do this job (many volunteers) because they are trying their best to help. They don't want to euthanize either! Adopt don't shop! Spay or Neuter! Volunteer! Give donations! All these things help any animal control. If nothing else get the word out that they NEED adoptions or animals reclaimed. LOST a pet? Look here! Visit don't just call! read more

If I could leave negative stars I would. This place and the staff are atrocious. I adopted a horribly sick kitten and their response was oh well. The staff is the truly worst ever. I feel sorry for this poor animals read more

I suggest to anyone that wants to adopt to get every single animal out of this place. I've been here many times and it's terrible and depressing every time. I was here the other day and really wanted to take one of the kittens home but she was covered in poop so much she was constantly shaking trying to get the dried poop off her body. I told the woman at the desk I wanted the cat but she was so filthy I didn't want to hold her until she was clean. The woman went on to be EXTREMELY RUDE saying she was busy and didn't have time to do that or go get someone to do it. She then told me if I wanted the cat I had to buy it and then bathe it myself in the sink. Excuse me???? I literally had to make a scene and go talk to other people in the back to have something done about the cat. One of the employees went to tell me they wouldn't let her bathe the cat because it would only get in its shit again. The cat has been there for 2 days.these people are so rude every time. Not to mention the dogs... those poor dogs): they have big fans pointed inside where the dogs are so you can't walk in and feel how hot it is. I've been in when they didn't have fans and was dying in there. I can't imagine how the dogs feel. Y'all this place isn't good. Report report report read more

Went to the station about a pup living in horrible condition and they said they would send some one out yeah never happened this pup has been living on the outside for weeks on end. Been outside even during storms. Way to go animal control bunch of lazy no good people. If I could give no stars I would they don't care about animals they only car about a pay check. read more

We adopted a puppy form here (25$) they said he was a mastiff mix about 3-4 months old. We take him to the vet and find out he's a 14-16week old black lab (which we obviously suspected since he looked nothing like a mastiff) and he had a terrible ear infection that had never been treated and even worse off kennel cough that took weeks and a lot of medication to cure. read more

These people are only in business for money. The front staff is rude and the building smells like death. I will NEVER do business with such lousy professionalism. We went in for a guard dog and they sold us a deaf dog. After weeks of working with her and not knowing what the issue was we finally had her screened and found out she was deaf. Upon returning her they said there was nothing in her records indicating this and that we still had to pay. Turns out she had every trait that is known for deafness and this place didn't even screen her for it. This place should be shut down for not giving their animals adequate care or the prospective owners adequate information on their health and possible needs. read more

I recently adopted from here and I must say everyone was friendly, the dogs were being treated right, although they did not treat many of the infections and fleas the dogs had. We saved a 5 month old chi-shiba mix and he is the best! Really sweet for a shelter dog. I just wish they wouldn't kill the animals that don't get picked to a home. read more

I adopted my dog named pearl she is an amazing dog but the people there for some reason are just unprofessional and have major attitude issues. if you want to adopt make sure the dog isn't sick before you leave or sign the contract they have a problem with adopting out sick dogs. Mine is currently sick with kennel cough because they don't take isolation seriously especially with there being only two housing units now I'm stuck with an expensive bill of more than $200 just to try to treat it with antibiotic. If you see any sign that the dog is sick pay attention because they will tell you since they don't have a veterinarian on staff they can't guarantee the health of the dog but they will oNly tell you that after you adopt. One of the staff members was vEry rude and was actually arguing with me and stormed off with an attitude. If I could give them a zero star I would that is how terrible I it is. If you can adopt out a sick dog and claim you didn't know it was sick when she clearly has coughs that sounds like she is choking then they definitely are not doing a good job of keeping an eye on who is sick and who isn't because they don't have a veterinarian to see if tHey are sick honestly this is the saddEst shelter ive ever been to read more

Disgusting shelter. The cages were filthy and the staff was rude. The animals up for adoption barely look clean, and some had fresh open wounds. A woman went into the adoption room and all she did was sweep the floor. No one checked on the animals. Many of them didn't even have water in their dishes and had full litter boxes. Saw one cat infested with fleas!! The front staff was extremely rude and admitted that the previous cat I got from them wasn't Of legal age to even sell. They're not courteous nor do they even care about the well being of their animals. Just in it for the money. read more

There was a Cat outside in my lawn inside the tool shed. She looked like she was going to have babies. I invited her into my place even though I'm not supposed have cats. I took care of her after the birth of the kittens. Waited till the kittens could eat on their own before calling the shelter. The man informs me because I took care of them for more then five days. It's my responsibility. I was trying to do the right thing. Now they won't even pick them up. read more

Adopted a dog here and by far this shelter is the worst I've seen. The front staff are ok and the other people in the back who take care of the dogs are nice but seem clueless. Anyway I adopted a dog here and was surprise that it didn't have a rabies shot but I guess that's normal here (I've adopted at another shelter they gave the rabies shot and did the neuter/spay for $20). $350 maybe more later, I find out my new family member has an ear infection and kennel cough that took quite a few doses of antibiotics and ear drops. I feel sorry for the other furry animals there and if I could I'd adopt all of them to save them from this place. read more

I have been walking the dogs there on my day's off . It breaks your heart that SO MANY dogs here are being Euthanized . I adopted a 6 month old because they were getting ready to Euthanize a lot of the dogs because they have no room. I took the Pup right to my Vet because I was concerned bringing him home around my other animals. Well my efforts didn't pay off my dog ended up with kennel cough and had to bring him in to be checked and medicated even though the puppy had No Cough at all. Here's the thing . I read some of your reviews on here about the conditions of this place and have to say I have never been there and found the kennels dirty on the contrary the dogs and kennels seem to be well cared for although some of their policy's I don't quite agree with. The staff I met on numerous occasion's have been very sweet and helpful I might add most were volunteers!!!! People want to complain about this facility but here's the hard facts. People who take on pets need to be held accountable this place is over run with dogs and kitten's the "Fault is on the Public at Large" who keep breeding animals not taking responsibility for the pets they take in and then not neuter or spay or get shots and chip . When the novelty wears off or the training gets too much they toss their pets and then expect Tax Paying dollars to maintain their pet in these type of shelters to be adopted. This Shelter I hate using that word because it's Not it's like death row for Animals YOUR ANIMALS! I recently looked at the city budget for the shelter and the Public Voted "Against" More Animal Control Officer's. Ask yourselves where do they have the funding to take on as many dogs as they are taking in on a daily basis ! They only have 29 kennels . I was there last week and they were full at capacity with 8 more dogs coming in late afternoon which meant the dogs that had been there and either not picked up or adopted were to be Euthanized to make room for more. Instead of us all complaining lets try to find solutions to the problem. I myself have written the New's Team I have written the Local Paper over a Month ago and Yet to have a response to either of them. The Public is the Problem and I believe The Public is the only one that can resolve the problems if People would just come together and Help find a Solution for these Helpless animals that wouldn't have to Die ! read more

This is a horrible sad place! People are rude and the amount of dogs they put down is not right they don't follow the guidelines what so ever! read more
