I took my 17-year-old kitty to be euthanized yesterday at the shelter. I had an appointment at 2:00…read morep.m. they took my baby back. They told me on the phone that I could not go back with her which broke my heart. I've never left my kitties or dogs alone to be put to sleep without being with them. But I'm a senior citizen on social security with little funds having seven pets at home. So I went ahead and took her there to the shelter So an hour after that I was waiting and waiting and waiting and Iwent back to the desk and asked what was taking so long? They told me because of the cat's age 17 years old, that it was taking her longer to be put to sleep because her blood flowed slower. I have had cats for over 30 years, six at a time and put many down up to 21 years of age. That was the most ridiculous explanation I could ever imagine‼ At 90 minutes I went back to the desk and said give me my cat. I'm going someplace else to what is going on??? and a lady came up and said the same thing and that they were almost done. I told him how upset I was, and that I was going to post on Facebook what a terrible experience it had been. When I brought my kitty home I unwrapped her from the bag that they put her in, so that my five other cats and dog could say goodbye. She had a sibling. They say you should let them see the dead pet, so that your other pets are not looking around for her and know that she is passed away. So when I unwrapped poor Coco I saw that both her front paws had been shaved, so obviously they had trouble finding a vein to put in the anesthetic ‼‼ Why couldn't they be honest and tell me that they were having trouble finding a vein to put the anesthetic in her? Why did they have to lie about it? Her heart would have been pumping 10 times faster, not slower being in a strange place, being put in a carrier, and driven there, so it certainly didn't have anything to do with a slow blood flow I would not take my pet there if anyone ever thinks of it, for euthanasia even though it only cost $25. They're liars. I have no idea what kind of terrible panic my kitten would have gone through back in that room for 90 minutes with these people stay away from this place unless you want to adopt

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.

Then you get on-site and the food and service is top-notch, the ladies take great care of you from sun up to sun down. The rooms are clean and roomy.

To Bianca, the website is clear there is no "facility", this is a rescue, not a shelter. If you really understood what rescues and shelters go through on a daily basis, you might be a little more compassionate. Everyone has the same goal, and that is to help animals that have been abused, starved, abandoned, in-bred, molested (yes, really), shot, burned alive, poisoned - the list goes on and on. Try a little patience, support and kindness for people who are willing to do what others won't --- it IS a very, very tough job for many reasons. They have bad days too, and not because they got 'lost' but because they deal with the results of mean, vicious, cruel people every single day with much worse agendas than venting with a crappy review. Do you have any idea how many dogs you just deprived of a loving home because you had a bad day and chose not to do your homework? Inaccurate reviews hurt, especially when it's about you, and not about what this rescue does, and that's saving dogs. Help, not hurt.
