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 first sought to adopt a bonded pair of dogs and upon our meet and greet, our senior dog seemed indifferent, but the pair seemed agitated. I thought that this possibly would pass, but Liz really observed the meeting and said she didn't think it would be a good fit. While I was sad about it at that moment, I knew in my gut she was right. Liz is there for the animals and is very dedicated - even on our town's facebook group for dogs. She always responds to citizens questions when her name is mentioned and has great recommendations for pet parents who need guidance. Liz is a treasure!

Jo Ann makes sure to be very up front with all the pay info, time frames on the kitten's progress and health. It is very obvious how much she cares for these cats and will make sure the person they go to is the best fit for them. I believe the price is certainly fair, especially since so much time and care goes not only into the kittens, but also the kittens parents. I cant say enough good things about her and her love for these cats. So happy I found Khloe's kittens.

They had about 10-12 cats of all ages there waiting to be placed. They had identifying tags or ties saying whether they were going to be adopted or if they were "spicy" at all lol. They had diff types of toys and beds and huts and wall things to play with it was set up very well! They also gave you free coffee or hot chocolate which was a nice touch as well! We also learned about the cats through pics and little anecdotes about them on the wall. Please consider going to see them as the fee helps take care of the cats!!

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!

You put in the time to fill our an application, talk to the foster, and the pet that you are interested in promised to someone else. What a complete waste of time.

Will not deal with them ever again. If you want to be disappointed and totally upset, this is the place.

While searching for our forever furbaby, we came across this place online and drove right on over…read more This no kill animal shelter in Bloomfield was easy to find. We absolutely loved the staff there...every member has such a passion for each and every one of the animals they bring in there. They do their best to take their time to find out all of the dogs and cats personality's and characteristics which helps the pet and their new owner adjust to their new lives together. We wound up adopting an amazing 6 year old Pitbull Terrier named Ray-Ray. The paperwork for the adoption was not overwhelming and the adoption fee was $250- a small price to pay for unconditional love! The day we bright him home- they provided us a collar, leash and a bag filled with food treats and toys to help us get started! They also provided us with the necessary paperwork and tags for proof of check-ups and shots. For those who need this information- surrender fees are $65..which is also a small price to pay if for whatever reason you need to surrender your pet- and at least if you bring them here, they will not be killed and the staff will do their best to find them their new forever home.
