Visited earlier this week to look at the dogs and the kennels looked very clean! Staff was helpful, Delanie helped me look around for what I was looking for and explained certain characteristics of each dog thoroughly. Sadly at this time they didn't have what I was looking for but I'll definitely be back!

These people really care about the animals. Also, they have a policy of waiting to adopt which I really like because it keeps you from making impulse decisions.

Report
I have adopted pets and accompanied others to adopt pets here for 15 years. I visit even when I'm not personally looking for a pet. I cannot recall any time where staff behaved poorly, as alleged by some of these nearly-comical negative reviewers. You have to live in a terrible home (or be too clueless to lie about having a good home for pets) to have your adoption application rejected.
