Our affordable spay/neuter clinic serves low-income families and feral cat populations. Procedures are performed by licensed veterinarians using modern surgical techniques, including pain management protocols. Services include pre-operative exams, anesthesia, and post-operative care instructions for pet owners.

In all my 53 years raising 5 children we have always found our pets at shelters. (Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma and Germany) I have never seen so much chaos and confusion as I did at this shelter. They rudely ran us out of two cat areas telling us they were doing visits. Is that not what the visitation rooms are for? Come to find out there were a bunch of people waiting. They need to explain the process or at least post signs explaining it. Better yet do " visits" in a "visitation room" many of which were empty, so others can look while you do so.

The staff are rude and not understanding! I took my dog to do a meet with another dog that I was potentially going to adopt. There is a rude staff member as I was walking around looking at the dogs. And the staff that did the dog meet we're over the top rude left me for 10 minutes in the hallway with my dog And did not help me so I just decided to leave!

It was clear and very organized they really care about the animals and who they go to. We looked at 2 other dogs and unfortunately they didn't get along with our 2 girls but the last one our girls and her got along and she ended up coming home with us. The humane society is really dedicated to finding homes for their animals!

My husband and I had a very good experience adopting our kitten from here. We arrived earlier in the day on a Saturday and only had to wait about 10 minutes. We were able to walk around freely and explored their little shop while we waited. Every staff member we talked to was very friendly and helpful. The adoption process was simple and smooth and didn't take long at all. I would definitely adopt here again if we decide to get any more animals in the future.
