Here’s what they’re saying...
“I've had both of my cats spayed/neutered here. The staff were so friendly, patient and kind to my babies both times I’d been. My most recently spayed cat was so much calmer and so loving when I picked her up. They have such wonderful programs that are so affordable. Thank you for all that you do!!”
"We have adopted two dogs from this location, and have been met with wonderful staff and a smooth adoption process both times! They are friendly, willing to answer any questions, and there for you through the entire process! They do great things in the community, and deserve our support! I cannot recommend rescuing a pup here more!"
"Took my cat to get neutered here and very glad I did. The facilities are clean. The staff is nice and professional. You are given a time to arrive and then another to pick up your pet. Everything was prompt and it was well organized. As a group, we were all provided with recovery instructions so that everything was clear."
