Our 6 year old was especially enamored with the experience. While Tamerlaine is clearly a believer in animal rights, the tour wasn't pushy or judgemental at all in terms of their vegan beliefs. I would highly recommend this tour if you love animals, regardless of your food choices.

For 4 months I have been told the new owner of my sweet little ADULT dog to call me. She NEVER has, so who is lying? I specifically told the shelter that he needs to be with someone who is always home. They gave him to a young girl, who lives alone and works long hours. I'm devastated. I had to give him up due to my declining health, which they have made worse for they did everything I asked them NOT to. Be careful... ur fur baby will disappear forever. I'm devastated.

I have been involved in animal rescue all of my life. All our cats and dogs have come to us from a…read morerescue situation. I visited the Wantage Animal Shelter and frankly found it unpleasant. The director of the shelter is often called away and there is only an office person to care for the animals. The shelter is small and crowded and certainly does not speak well for Wantage Township. I have lived in Wantage for over 25 years. I love the town. I love our home. But the Animal Shelter brings shame to the township. Quite frankly it needs to be rebuilt with adequate staff. Wantage Township is a large and prosperous town. Surely we can afford better. Presently I would refer to this shelter more as an animal jail than a shelter. If anyone reads this review and has time on their hands to volunteer to approach the Township to improve this shelter, please respond to this review. If you love animals, the ones in the Wantage Animal Shelter need our help. All you have to do is model a new shelter after Fr. John's Animal Shelter. They started small many years ago and are now a stellar example of rescue work.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Graceland Farm German Shepherds. Adam and Erzebeth are…read moretwo of the kindest, most caring people you will ever meet, and their dedication to their dogs is evident in everything they do. Their facilities are exceptionally well maintained, and it's clear they take great pride in providing a clean, healthy, and loving environment. We have purchased four dogs from them and have had an outstanding experience every time( Anya, Gunner, Freya, and Hunter) Each of our dogs has an excellent temperament -- well-balanced, confident, gentle with family, and incredibly loyal. The care, socialization, and attention these dogs receive truly shows in their behavior. We couldn't imagine going anywhere else and highly recommend Graceland Farm German Shepherds to anyone looking for a responsible, ethical, and devoted breeder.

Since January 20 23, they've taken in close to 400 local dogs that were either lost or needed placement into new homes due to circumstances beyond their control. The local SPCA is not associated with the ASPCA, but they are a small nonprofit that depends on funding from communities to keep the doors open and keep the employees paid to continue rescuing and saving and placing puppies and dogs into their forever homes.. the new board and all of the employees give a warm welcome to people coming in and take care of all the animals that are in the shelter as if they were their own. It's a beautiful facility and they do different charity events to help. Keep those doors open. The dogs that I adopted are the most perfect pups in the whole wide world and I may be a little bit biased because I love them so much. When my cat died, the Spca helped me with getting him cremated and we're so caring which really warmed my heart.

And come away knowing just how messed up modern factory farming has become. Get up close and personal with some of the most darling animals and get to know their personal stories and how they were rescued. Bring your little ones too, because unlike at a zoo, you can get as close as you like to these fantastic souls. Bonus, after the tour, you get to enjoy a nice outdoor meal. Just watch out for the chickens.

They did a wonderful job with socializing her and starting her off on training. The facility itself is beautiful. It's very clean and well staffed. We were able to spend time with different puppies out in the main area, which gave us the chance to see how they did with other dogs, people, etc. We probably spent two hours there and never felt rushed into making a decision. Highly recommend!

I haven't received a reply from Anyone at this "no kill cat…read moreshelter". We had adopted two cats from them 8 years ago. One had a huge tumor between her eyes. OUR vet told us she was in extreme pain, and it was cancerous. She only lived for one week. (The manager at Guardians of Mercy Animal League had told us she had been examined by THEIR vet who said she was fine. The other cat we adopted was sick and had been locked in that filthy sewer for 11 years. We rushed her to our vet who said she had a BB shot into her side, and only had a head cold. After further testing she had the herpes virus, which was contracted by 2 of our other cats. Sadly she only lived for 5 years. The shelter kept a huge wading pool in the big cat room and filled it with litter. The pool was filled to capacity with urine and feces. The stench was horrific. It was like walking through a land mine what with the feces also all over the floor. Is this place still open? We were there 8 years ago. If it's still in operation, who manages it, and where is it now located? We knew Dr. Pardine, the owner, who created this amazing home for unwanted or feral cats. It was beautiful at that time. We were so impressed. Then years later we re-visited to adopt, and were appalled at what we saw. If anyone knows ANYTHING about this shelter, please please let me know. Thanks so much.

I went into redeem some coupons I had and the exact items I needed were not available and the owner was willing to see if she could order them. Since it was trial sized and just two cans of food, I did not want to bother her with it since coupons were expiring. The following week, I got a coupon for a size of dog food that I saw that the shop carried. I was able to get a $18.99 bag of premium dog food for just the cost of sales tax which made me very happy. They carry lots of specialty treats for your furry companions.
