Unpleasant telephone experience with a sarcastic volunteer who had an "Holy-er than Thou" attitude…read more After being told that I would not be eligible to adopt from their business, especially considering that I don't live within a four hour driving distance. (Originally from Mars Hill, NC, visiting family in Etowah, NC, currently living in Vermont.) I lamented that in this instance their policies would be denying a dog a good and loving home, and ended the call. Five minutes later, the same, self anointed "Director of Phone Etiquette" volunteer called back to chastise me, and my attitude. She ACTUALLY called back to put me in my place. (Hence the 1 star rating.) After a heated exchange, she told me to "Go back to the 'North' where you came from!" and ended the call. I think if I were an actual 'Northerner' I might have been offended by that statement. Keep this in mind my Northern neighbors who have moved to the area. Your 'Northern Dollars' might not be wanted if making donations. I feel sorry for this frustrated woman and anyone who has to encounter her. Guess I should be blocking the phone number, I suspect she might also be the self anointed 'Responder in Chief" to 'less than positive, reviews. Apologies only accepted by paper mail.

They really do try to do their best to make their dogs adoptable. Upon intake, they see a vet, get their shots, get spayed/ neutered, get washed etc. They have even started doing some training with the dogs so they learn basic commands. Some dogs will have stars on their kennel to indicate what level of training they have achieved. They also do some muzzle training and socialization with dogs that were not socialized as puppies. The first 6 months of a dogs life are very important for this so if that window is missed, additional training is necessary. All dogs are walked at least three times a day and usually extra by volunteers. They also go outside for playgroups twice per day. If you get an opportunity, I would go watch a playgroup and actually get to know the dogs. I saw another review that stated that all the dogs were vicious and lunging at her children as they walked past. This is simply not the case. Many of the dogs are just very excited to see humans walking by their kennel. Get them outside and they'll be as sweet, and lovey as can be. Adoption fees are ridiculously cheap here and they include shots etc. All you have to do is make sure that you buy heartworm protection upon adopting. It's totally irresponsible to NOT buy heartworm protection so it just makes sense. They post their adoptable dogs on petango and on their website. I also try to post any dogs I play with to my instagram page to make sure that the word gets out about them.

She was sick when she got here -- vomiting and diarrhea, sometimes with blood in her stool. We took her to our vet, only to find that she had an intestinal parasite. Total cost to cure: over $500. She has also been a constant behavioral problem -- destroying furniture. Worst of all, she is afraid of almost everything -- from the first day she arrived. The Crockett trainer said she was shy -- hardly. It's as if she were traumatized as a very young puppy. She is the product of a Lancaster, PA puppy mill. The Crockett people should be driven out of business. We spent thousands of dollars for a dog that is a constant problem.

They all just got spayed/neutered and were awaiting pick up for their new homes. A lot of the big dogs too. They were only about 4 available dogs. I got there about 3pm and also saw people leaving the clinic side of the building with their cone head dogs too. This makes my heart so happy. This place is doing wonderful things and making magic. They had adorable cats too, well 1 cat and about 6 kittens. ‍ also noticed they had a cat cafe but I didn't see a espresso machine and I only saw 1 cat. I don't know if it's only open certain hours but that's a wonderful idea. The sign said tea also so I hope they're able to get that going and they make need a volunteer for the cafe. Or a book club and other groups to visit! Wink wink

It's been a while since we've visited the humane society. I remember that we were able to interact…read morewith the animals last time we visited, which was quite a bit ago honestly. But this time it was different. You had to get on a wait list to be let in the room, and they watch you the entire time, and you have to commit to adopting in order to interact with the cats and dogs, which is so much pressure. I was told that they had to do it this way because the old way was stressing the animals out, because people had unruly children... I can see it both ways, but I was selfish in the moment and just wanted to cuddle some cuteness. I wish people would consider these things when they go places with their children, teach your kids how to properly interact with animals, and respect their space. That's how I teach my son, I point out the animals social cues to him, I tell him when to pull back if the animal is getting over simulated. We've never had an issue, we always enjoy our visits with our furry friends and it's always a great time! So, I hate that a boundary had to be set, most people are looking for their next pet and may not be ready to commit in that moment, had I known this prior to coming we would have not come at all. The facility is clean, but the minute you walk in to where the animals are being kept, you are slapped in the face with a really pungent smell... Some dogs had feces in the spaces that they were being kept in, which was really sad. Dogs are much messier than cats so I know it happens. Our visit this time around wasn't as pleasant, because of the changes. But the staff were super nice and attentive.
