The worst. 9:56 and was turned away from donating dog toys, blankets, and clothing because they don’t take donations until 10. Asked if I could leave them as it was 4 minutes and was told donations were 10 to 3. Five people standing around. Do not donate, they apparently have… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)

Write a reviewI have heard very disturbing negative posts about this organization. Shame on them for diguising the truth. I KNOW that not all humane societies are on the up and up View on Facebook (opens in new tab)
The new insurance rule about dogs with bite history is all a farce and if a dog is a favorite, it is still adopted out. These people do NOT care about the best interest of the animals unfortunate enough to be in their care. This policy allows them to euthanize whatever animal… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)
Absolutely nothing they do is in the best interest of the dogs. They are a money hungry Dog Flipping/Killing Garbage Dump. I feel sorry for all the Dogs and Volunteers. They are the victims. View on Facebook (opens in new tab)

In a community of animal lovers who have supported our shelters when they needed it most, euthanizing adoptable animals is a disgrace. Pathetic, lazy, and useless are accurate… Read the full review on Facebook (opens in new tab)
