The new building they have is a 5 star facility.
Nice people and the dog area was impressive with air conditioning inside, dry floors with bedding plus the dog's had a indoor/outdoor grassy area for each dog attached behind their cages with dog door's in each so they could walk in and out at their leisure to go to the bathroom.
The cats take turns in a very deluxe playground all floor to ceiling glass with many toys and climbing posts, very nice donation to the new facility.
not a depressing facility. They also have bunnies,birds and exotic animal breeds.
Animal are mixed and purebreds. I used my Military/Veteran Discount which reduced the small adoption fee.
Adoption Amenities: Shot's, Neutering and for an additional $10.99 microchipping (which I was rather happy about.)
Medical: Monthly medication for Fleas and other medical stuff for the animals which I will go into detail below about. A puppy discount booklet is included for PetSmart and you are given a very nice leash to keep.
The majority of the animals were/are abused as well as animals from overseas (they showed me two dogs that were saved from a diner in China). The dogs self-teach themselves from what I saw to go outside to pee/poo utilizing their dog/doors to the attached grassy area behind their cages. Case-in-Point when I took my puppy home he was already potty-trained waiting by the front-door to go which was a pleasant surprise.
I strongly suggest visiting the shelter, as my puppy has helped me deal with my PTSD from my service deployment. If you live in a townhome area like myself there are restriction's on breeds you can have, however; if you designate your animal as a Emotional Support Animal (which I did immediately upon adoption) the paperwork is a legal and binding requirement for the housing area to allow said animal to reside with you.
The animals there from my experience were scared, nervous, yet also eager to please. They need good homes having survived harmful, deteriorating conditions that led to The Humane Society rescuing them in the first place. My puppy was abused by other animals and has his own form of PTSD around animals in general, however; he is slowly getting over his fear and doesn't hide behind me as much as he did. I STRONGLY suggest that if you get an animal from this facility take the time to properly acclimate the animal to his/her new surrounding's and provide positive reinforcement to help them get used to their new normal.
There was one dog in general that pulled at my heartstring's yet I already was set on my puppy for adoption.
That dog is Norma, who was rescued from a illegal Pitbull fighting ring. She is 4 years old, very sweet and very scared/nervous; she is a SURVIVOR. If you intend to adopt her then I would offer my thanks in advance and encouragement to show her not all people are bad. My townhome isn't very large, and my puppy is still getting used to other animals, otherwise; I would have adopted her in a heartbeat with him.
I adopted Buddy the Dog (formerly DJ) Born 3/9/2019 Adopted 07/26/2019. He follows me everywhere, does not bark or growl in-less he feels I am in danger or he has to go to the bathroom. For the first day after adoption I thought he was mute. It wasn't until I brought him along with me to PetSmart and a rather big dog came lumbering towards me that Buddy jumped in front of me and growled his heart out in a defensive posture. Very Smart, Very Protective, Very Calm and Very patient; the pen-ultimate definition of guard dog and man's best friend. Buddy chose his own toy's when I laid three in front of him at a time by grabbing them and walking with them, impressing the staff nearby as well as myself.
Thank You for reading my review and I hope you find the time to visit the shelter and see for yourself the animals in need of adoption. read more
