I wanted to address just a few major misconceptions that people posting negative reviews about Lollypop seem to have.

In regards to the fact that they are a kill shelter: First and foremost, the decision to terminate any animal's life is not a decision that they take lightly. Many people choose to drop off animals with diseases and health issues too severe to handle in hopes of giving the animal one last chance. Other animals, especially dogs, are brought in with major human aggression issues. Lollypop cannot release these animals to be adopted - It wouldn't be right to the customers that they serve. Yes, Lollypop is a kill shelter. No, savable, adoptable animals are not being killed without considerations.

Next, yes, Lollypop will make you jump through hoops. They expect you to live in a stable home, be at least 21 years old, and be a good fit for any animal that you adopt. This mans that they will not adopt out shy dogs to people with loud kids, active dogs to people with inactive lifestyles, or dog-aggressive dogs to people that already have dogs. Yes, there are a lot of requirements. These requirements are in please to ensure that the animals are going to forever homes, and not simply ending back at the shelter when a family is unable to care for them.

With all of that said, Lollypop farm is a great place to get an animal. All dogs and cats are evaluating for behavior, health, and other issues before they are adopted out. The facilities are nice, the adoption counselors will work with you to find the right pet for you, and the behavior team works hard to help you train/bond with your new dog.

Great place.
