Our little 18.5 year old Scruffles has some difficulty seeing and hearing now and over the years, she's had some traumatic grooming experiences (cowering, shaking when I went to pick her up, nails clipped too close to skin, whiskers shaved off!) She generally comes here twice a year-- mostly to get rid of her thick Winter Is Here of a coat. So, when we know we'll be down in this area, we try to schedule an appointment for her in advance. I always joke that getting her a full groom costs more than my hair, but as far as groomers go, they are reasonably priced. Her fur comes out clean-shaven and she is always so happy when we come to pick her up. They give her these cute bandanas and it just makes our hearts melt because yes, we lowly humans don't deserve them! Tip: Schedule your full grooming few weeks to a month in advance. For nails, we've lucked out with a few walk-ins but typically, call ahead as over the years, they've gotten quite popular and packed. Scruffles says: Two paws up!

They charge a $25 non-refundable fee for booking new customers.

I'm a…read more21-year-old college nursing student with a flexible schedule and extensive experience with dogs. I've cared for my 10-year-old rescued Jack Russell full-time, and I've been planning to adopt a second dog for over a year. Unfortunately, this shelter treated me with outright disrespect and completely dismissed me as a serious adopter. Now, I fully understand why so many people choose breeders instead of dealing with shelters like this one. I arrived at 11 a.m., waited an hour for them to open, and came fully prepared with supplies in case the puppy came home with me. But instead of allowing me to even see the puppy, the staff sat me down for an invasive, condescending interview. The woman who spoke to me treated me like I was a child or completely incapable of owning a dog, despite my obvious qualifications. I'm a dog trainer, CPR-certified, and regularly foster and babysit dogs. I clearly explained that I live independently during the school year with my current dog, but she insisted that I needed my mom's permission to proceed because she owns the home where I'd be staying over the holidays. When I explained that my mom couldn't answer the phone because she was working (and that my mom isn't involved with my current dog due to allergies), the woman implied that I was hiding something. She even made rude remarks like, "Does your mom even know you're here?" as if I'm not a grown adult making my own decisions. I also told her my dad fully supported the adoption, but because he was out of town for work, his approval didn't count. It was insulting, disrespectful, and downright infuriating. I was completely prepared to provide a loving, stable home for this puppy, but instead, I was judged, dismissed, and treated like I wasn't good enough--without ever being allowed to see the dog. To top it off, they acted like I didn't know what I was getting into, even though I've cared for a Jack Russell for 10 years and know exactly what their needs are. This whole experience has left me furious and heartbroken. I've waited to adopt instead of buying a dog because I wanted to do the right thing, but now I understand why people turn to breeders. MSPCA lost out on an amazing, responsible owner who was more than ready to give this puppy a great life. To anyone thinking of adopting from this place: don't waste your time. They'll treat you like you're not good enough, no matter how qualified you are. I will be adding pictures of my current dog to show how loved and spoiled he is--and now I'll be reaching out to breeders. MSPCA should be ashamed of how they treat potential adopters. Shelters should encourage adoption, not make people feel disrespected and pushed away.
