Near my grandmothers house people frequently abandon their pets within the neighborhood. Two kittens were recently amongst the abandoned so my grandmother called about bringing them in. She had a pleasant conversation over the phone and was told she could bring them in. When she brought the two kittens in she dealt with a completely rude woman who tried to make her feel awful for feeding them and not just essentially ignoring the problem. She also made sure to say to my grandmother that she “hoped they wouldn’t end up at the farm.” If this is the way you talk to and treat people it’s not a mystery why people don’t bother to surrender pets the proper way and just continue to abandon them. Appalling the way you spoke to an elderly person who was trying to do the right thing.

I took my little scrappy to their neuter commuter and they did great. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I also like that they won’t chance your pet’s health just to make a dollar. My Rambo has seizures and they would not chance it there because they don’t have the emergency care they would need. So I like that. Also as I was waiting at the light I looked down and saw this beauty is everywhere you just have to look. And then there is Izzy making sure scrappy is fine I would recommend them

We had a stray that was in pretty bad shape and terrified. I called to have someone come get him, was told it would probably be a little while. 5 minutes later a beautiful young lady showed up and said she was just around the corner. I didn't catch her name but she was super gentle and caring to the sweet little pup and did an amazing job! I told her she looked like she was good at her job and she said she loves what she does. Thank you guys so much for taking the poor doggo. I hope he gets better and finds a great home 😊

Someone left their dog in front of our house, and the dog was in TERRIBLE condition, ribs showing and it's obvious she had babies at some point, we don't know who left the dog but we fed her and took her here. The staff were rude and accused us for the dog being in the condition she was in and were even more rude when we said we couldn't take care of her, we got two dogs of our own, accusing us of her condition and not being able to take care of her is beyond rude. Why don't you be disrespectful to the person that actually caused the dogs condition and abandoned it at our doorstep instead we get disrespected for it, and for bringing the dog there and then getting disrespected even more when we said we couldn't take care of her. Never coming here again. Hopefully the dog gets the care she needs though and that y'all take good care of her.

My rating is solely off of my interactions with Alisa or however her name is spelled. She honestly needs to work in the back cleaning the kennels versus dealing with people or the animals; granted maybe she would be better with the animals. EVERY single time I've interacted with the shelter, and it is her... She is so nasty, and provides inaccurate information. I spoke to her about fostering in the future and she informed me that the only option to foster was foster to adopt; which I later learned was not the case. The interactions I've had with every other staff has been very pleasant. I can bet my life that all the other bad reviews about a "lady", they are speaking about this same one. She needs training or to just completely find another place to work.

Most Caring Facility I surprised my wife with adopting a cat, and the process was painless and exciting. The cost was 10.00 this month so I donated the remainder of the normal fee. The staff are all so giving and it shows when you walk into the building. Our cat is at home and has already settled in and is feeling quite comfortable. I am so glad we chose to adopt from this shelter. Top Notch. Thank You

My neighbor's unleashed dog ran up to my dog and bit my dog on his side, while I was walking my dog on a leash on April 30, 2023. I submitted an affidavit of complaint for the dog attack/bite and gave the officer from Marion County Animal Control my statement and the officer NEVER gave them the citation and here we are in August. I called multiple times and they kept giving me excuses and the run around. Terrible service. What is the point of reporting a dog attack/bite if they're not going to give them the citation and not do anything about it? Very frustrating.
