This could have been a nerve wracking experience for me, but it wasn't anything but that due to the…read morewonderful staff at the Tallahassee Animal Shelter. I haven't had a dog for many years but had been considering adopting for about the last year. I checked their website for specific type - due to allergies I was looking for a more "hypoallergenic" dog. I found one, sent a request for information on a Saturday evening around 7pm and immediately was responded to by Erika. I came to see my new doggo the next day (Sunday) and was greeted by Mara outside, who I ended up hugging because she was so lovely. I was helped by Spencer who allowed me some time with the pup, and then allowed some one-one-one time by Cara. I decided to come back the next day to make a decision which was great - they had given the doggo a bath and spayed her. I was provided with medicine, a collar, leash, paperwork, and about a week worth of dog food. The cost for all of this was $30. I named my new pup Blanche and could not be happier. I believe every review should have some balance, so here are small negatives. Someone said the Blanche had been spayed, which she hadn't been, so I had to prep to take care of her which I wasn't prepared for. She was listed as a labradoodle, which she is clearly not (that wasn't important for me, but it might be for others). Lastly, the staff was understandably stressed the weekend I came in. There was an unusual influx of dogs and a lot of drama regarding this. I witnessed a few people being snarky with the staff, and they didn't seem overly friendly at first. As soon as they knew I wasn't there to yell at them, they were all very sweet. I think this reflects on the consumer rather than the staff though - please be kind to these folks! They deal with a ton of crud and they are only looking at spreading love around, in the form of our furry friends.

Another Terrific Visit!…read more A six-year-old, a four-year-old, and two tired (but happy!) grandmas had an amazing time again. Pro tip: bring a wagon, a big bag of carrots, and plenty of energy! We love that this experience is completely free--but please consider supporting them by making a donation or buying one of their adorable T-shirts. The volunteers are fantastic and love sharing fun facts about the horses, donkeys, and even the Zorse (yes, a Zorse!). We spent about three hours exploring and definitely saw it all--then left totally worn out but smiling. Bring your own water and snacks, or grab carrots there for the animals. And don't forget to save a little money for those cute shirts at the end--they've got sizes for everyone, from the tiniest tots to the grown-ups.

While there's no admission or entrance or parking fee, I'm inclined to recommend buying something from the gift shop and/or getting your carrots there now that they offer them rather than bringing your own; which you could do.

I recently viewed a dog on their site"Duke" and sent several e-mails telling them who I was and that I had adopted a dog from them the prev. year. I did not hear back from the e-mails(this is why I sent so many) and when they did reply they had placed the dog with a Great Dane group. Why would you place a dog with anouther shelter when you have some one who was so interested to adopt? So sad, would not waste my time looking at their page. If they want to save animals they should adopt them out instead of shuffling them to other shelters.
