I had a feral cat that I was taking care of for three years. His name was Tom for three years. I…read morewas taking care of this cat to make this short because it's pretty lengthy. I had called a place this place and I feel like giving their names, but I won't go that low as they do so anyhow I called this place because my feral cat named Tom who again i've been taking care of so he not only was waiting three hours in a cage inside my home which he didn't like in the first place he had to wait 2 1/2 weeks for his appointment on April 14 to get neutered so let's fast forward here on Sunday the day of him trying to get neutered this lady messages me and says I'm sorry but your cat has cancer so my husband said hold on let me go talk to my wife about this right like a second later, she messages back and says do not worry about it. We already put your cat down now if I'm not mistaken How dare you take it upon yourself to God and put my cat down without notifying the owners of the cat feral or not that is not why the cat went there that wasn't their decision to put my cat down, but they took it upon themselves because they didn't want the cat to suffer obviously, we were not gonna let the cat suffer, but we would like to be there when the cat was being put down in the first place That should've never happened and then another thing were you even gonna give me my cat back I had to notify them and ask them for the paperwork and for my cat and then when they gave me my cat, they stuffed them in a trash bag. This place is absolutely Ludacris. It's the TNR the catch and release the feral program They should've never did what they did. I understand that my cat had cancer, but I also understand that you go ahead and you put my cat down without us being notified First about. It is absolutely disgusting. I do not recommend this place if you wanna keep your cat very wrong and many many ways you do not put someone's animal down and not notify the owners of the of the cat. It's absolutely wrong and so many ways you do not do something like that and you do not shove the cat inside a freaking garbage bag, so I have my cat and my cat is buried right where he always used to hang out. I'm not suffering anymore and I would've never let him suffer in the first place but how dare this place put my baby down that I loved and I cared for very much because they think that they have the right to do something like that which they don'tand I won't give them names but if they read this review, they will know who they are. That was out of Laconia as well. Do not contact this place.

These people don't get enough credit. They are wonderful people caring for the furry creatures. I…read morehave already adopted two animals from them .

I had adopted an adult cat of approximately four years old from the Concord SPCA. They assured me…read morethat he was checked out by a vet and that he was in good shape. He was not. He had mites his skin was full of scabs he was scratching himself so badly he developed an infection on his chin and $600 later I have him in good health. Do not take their word that these pets are in good shape and have been checked out by a veterinarian. My niece also adopted a cat which they said was in good shape and it was suffering from a urinary track infection which cost her $300. My suggestion is do not adopt a pet from this shelter in my opinion they really don't care about pets all they care about is space.

She came out and said you're limping You won't be able to walk the dog. She asked me what was wrong with my leg which is none of her business and I said it's only temporary I can still walk. She was not nice at all and she kept saying she had other applicants. You could tell she didn't want us to have the dog because of our age. Then she said her computers were down and she couldn't do anything anyways but she didn't have any consideration calling us when she knew it was a half hour 45 minute drive to her location.

**Super uncomfortable experience**…read more A little while back me and my bf were searching for a new addition to our fur babies. I naturally wanted to adopt (as I had rescued our first two from behind a dumpster) knowing how much rescuing means fo animals in need and myself. It wasn't what I expected from a typical shelter set up; the area for the cats were some trailers behind a building in a lot. But the facility was clean and the team trying to assist us was very lovely. It was my first time trying to adopt through a shelter and wasn't sure what to expect and I'm don't feel I did, but since it was my first experience I'm also not sure if something I did was offensive because the woman who seemed to be running the shelter wouldn't let any staff show us a single cat. There wasn't a ton of cats there but possibly around a dozen or so. She was very terse, told us all the cats were either spoken for or couldn't be adopted yet. We asked if there were any we could visit with and one staff member was about to show us the back room where he said some were up for adoption when this woman cut him off saying "no they can not see those cats". It was so odd as if she did not want us to adopt any of her cats however I'm totally baffled as to what that reason could be. Possibly just a bad day and we caught her at the wrong time? We are a couple in our 30s, friendly and polite. We both work with the public and are pretty good at being thoughtful in interactions with others. Felt perhaps she just didn't like how we looked or something and was dead set on not helping us. Felt so uncomfortable, judged and unwanted from the whole situation and I would never try to adopt from this location ever again. **I have since adopted from other shelters and had wonderful experiences**

I don't know why everybody keeps putting stars on this place. If you adopt an animal and you bring…read moreit back, they will put it to sleep. This is not a good place to bring your pets, and they do not care. They killed my cat. I got stuck in a really bad position and I had to move but was getting a place in two weeks. They told me that I had to surrender which I did but I told him I would be back in a couple weeks if I could readopt I just had nowhere for the got to go at the time. The next day I called them and told him that I had a bunch of food and his favorite blanket, and a cat house for them. They proceeded to tell me that the cat was no longer alive. Unreal how anybody could even bring an animal here adoption fine.. don't ever bring a pet here to give it up. Go to a Manchester animal shelter, or MSPCA in Methuen.

Before I moved back to New England, I searched for animal shelters in the area. I volunteered at…read morethe Irving Animal Shelter in Irving, Texas, and I loved it. I was hoping to find a place where I could do the same. - The Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire is a really nice place. It's right on Route 101. There isn't a ton of parking here - maybe 10 spots up front and 20 or so in back. It's not a large place (not compared to other shelters I've been to), but it's nice. - I've described this place to people as "mostly cats and rabbits" because they don't have a whole lot of large dogs on site. At least, not many that the general public can view. - I signed up to volunteer. You have to first take a "class". It's two hours long and you have to donate $10 at the end - more as an act of faith that you're serious about being a volunteer. (Also, they really need the money). The class wasn't much of a class, to be honest. You don't learn a lot, you just hear about all the good things the shelter does or has done. After the class is over, you have to sign up again for training. And the training could be in anything from "small cage cleaning" to "walking dogs" or "laundry". You get to pick which one you come back for. The next time you come back is your first day of volunteering. I've come back to learn about their dogs, but as a new volunteer, you don't get to interact with many dogs. Many of the dogs here are "senior only" meaning, only a "senior" dog walker can take them out. A "Senior" walker is defined as someone who has booked 50 hours volunteering here. It's very technical. You have to sign up online to come in to volunteer - you can't just show up and help out (well, you can, but it's almost discouraged). They have a lot they need to get done and they do it by having volunteers sign up for specific things - laundry, cage cleaning, etc. What bothers me is that there are a lot of dogs here, and I have time and I've handled all kinds of dogs in the past - but I'm not allowed to help because I'm not a "senior" walker here. I just feel bad for the dogs here that aren't being taken out because a "senior" isn't around that day. - OK I digress. Otherwise, it's a nice facility. Lots of really nice cats. A surprising number of rabbits. There was even a turtle there up for adoption last week! The dog kennels are a little shocking to see - they're in a room that smells like bleach (this place is big on cleaning) with glass doors to the kennels. There is only one outdoor fenced-in area for the dogs to exercise off leash. Volunteers can take the dogs on-leash through the woods/trails behind the place. - I just wish the place had more land - they could use some outdoor runs for the dogs. Let them play and that way potential adopters can see them having fun and not barking behind glass doors! - It's a good place - very well organized and passionately run.
