She referred someone to help us trap a feral cat in our neighborhood that just had 6 kittens and then took all seven of them into the shelter for spay/neutering and care. All the kittens were adopted and mama was returned to our neighborhood under our care. We were able to visit our feline family while they were cared for at the shelter. The shelter is clean and bright on the inside where the animals are kept and the staff and volunteers are wonderful in how they interact with all of the animals. They also have someone who works with the larger dogs on behavior and commands to improve their chances of adoption. When the time comes for us to adopt another dog (we prefer large breeds), the Wayne Animal Shelter will be our first stop.

We let him heal and my house to calm down before she brought him over and we immediately bonded, another perfect match and it was great to keep a brother and sister together (for better or worse because they are crazy now). You can tell seconds within meeting these two that their love for animals is immense and they are willing to do so much for them. They provide the best care and only have the animal's beat intentions in mind. It's not about the adopter, it's more about the adoptee as it should be. I highly recommend them whether you're ready to provide a fur-ever home or get a new home.

They really care about their pets they really know their pets and I respect that. This is a no kill shelter so although they want the cats to go to a good home they will not put the cats in any potentially dangerous situations their screening process is thorough and I really respect it. This is not a shelter that you can just walk in and walk out with a pet they want to make sure that you are match correctly so you do have to stop by a few times it interacts with different cats I could not thank them enough for that because me and my cat get along so well because we took her time to get to know each other. thank you so much for pair me up with my best friend for life!

What a horrific experience with Emelinda Navaez. She has no empathy for humans, which is a clear…read moreindicator that she cannot be trusted with animals. I called her to inquire about any assistance she could provide for my poodle with an injured leg. Not only was she unable to assist in providing information that could help, she was judging and critizing that I did not take my dog for immediate care. I say Navaez , if my dog concerns you so, why were you unable to help in any way? Your establishment is a scam. I will make sure you get audited. She could not even guide me to where I could take her. Unbelievable. Aspca (212) 876-7700. Send those whom call you for help here, at least. Judge less.

Prices are fair with making reservations and the time frame you can spend with them is a good amount of time 30-60 minutes CONS: They don't have a phone number so there's no verbal way to connect with them and they have no sign outside so it's tough to find them.

My biggest problem is that you can never see the animals available for adoption without going in person... their in person hours are almost comically limited especially for anyone who works regular 9-5 hours. They are not on Petfinder. Their website says to look on Facebook for adoptable animals. But their Facebook page does not have any sort of aggregated list of adoptable animals... you have to sift through dozens of posts of the head of the shelter's PERSONAL DOGS to find any posts about any animal available for adoption. Absolutely ridiculous. The posts are only sometimes updated when the pet is adopted. I've also been told that their adoption fee typically does not include a spay/neuter or voucher. Really???? How incredibly irresponsible. They also do not have the appropriate resources to vet their animals. They do not even keep subcutaneous fluids or basic dewormers/antibiotics on hand... if you've ever worked in rescue, you know how insane and ridiculous that is. No wonder the fee is so inflated if every little thing sends an animal to the vet's office??? They are not knowledgeable about cat health specifically. I have heard on multiple occasions the HEAD of this shelter refer to a SNAP test as being for FIV & FIP. Seriously?? They also routinely take kittens away from their mom, claim they "can't trap mom", and try to find someone to bottle feed... everyone knows that removing kittens from mom is a last resort at best as their survival rate goes way down as bottle babies. Speaking of which... they advise that you can feed PUPPY FORMULA to a small kitten... a BASIC Google search will confirm that this is NOT true & should be intuitive considering the vast differences between the diets & digestive systems of cats & dogs. They're VERY dog focused and do not provide appropriate care to their cats. Also, they lie. I was once told that someone is there all the time, then I was told that no one is there after 3pm. What?? How do you leave animals in cages from 3pm until the next morning???? Their response was they have cameras to see if any of the animals are in distress. The head of this shelter also drives a luxury car and claims that she works at the shelter 7 days a week. I don't understand how someone working full time in rescue could afford such things. What a disappointment. Don't give them your money- adopt from a local RESCUE group instead where they actually properly care for their animals & will NEVER send a pet out without fully vetting them.
