In the past month, THEY HAVE FIRED ALL OF THEIR LONGEST TENURED STAFF and kicked out multiple volunteers. Someone who gives their time for free and constantly helps you, and you tell multiple volunteers to never come back? All of the good staff is now let go, and there is no one to let dogs out at all! More days than not, the majority of the dogs don't even get let outside to go to the bathroom, or god forbid get exercise. You would think, as any competent person, you let your dog out when they first wake up from the night. They just let them all pee and poop in their cramped little pen, and don't clean it or let them out. THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE TOLD THAT LETTING THE DOGS OUT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. VOLUNTEERS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT LET THEM OUT. YOU CAN'T RELY ON VOLUNTEERS TO DO DAILY ACTIVITIES. WORST PART IS VOLUNTEERS AREN'T CLEARED TO HANDLE EVERYONE, SO MOST DOGS NEVER GET OUTSIDE DURING THE DAY.

PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE GIVING THESE PEOPLE ANY OF YOUR MONEY. DO YOUR RESEARCH AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS PLACE EUTHANIZES MORE ANIMALS THAN MOST VET HOSPITALS.

THEY HAVE FIRED THE LONGEST TENURED EMPLOYEES SO THAT THEY DON'T TELL EVERYONE HOW THEY ACTUALLY OPERATE!

THIS IS A KILL SHELTER TO THE FULLEST.

THEY RECEIVE THOUSANDS OF DONATIONS YEARLY, YET STILL WON'T PAY TO IMPROVE THE FACILITY, AND RELY ON THE GENEROUS PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING MISLEAD EACH AND EVERY DAY

Extremely disheartening. I have just recently been realizing how backwards this place and its management are. Being a non-profit, your goals should have nothing to do with money and solely on the well-being of the dogs. Even if it wasn't a non-profit, you would expect people who are with these animals every day to actually care about them. Yes they recently became no kill status. To them, its all about numbers, and to maintain no kill status, you just have to not kill a certain percentage. So they import dozens of puppies to put their overall numbers up, and then in turn can euthanize more because their percentages will still work out. The worst part is, they euthanize dogs who are sponsored, which means an extremely generous person paid for their adoption fee, so that if someone wanted them, they wouldn't have to pay the fee! A great idea and many people do it. BUT, what they don't tell you is that they probably euthanized that dog, and replaced it with a puppy that they sold for at least $600. So they don't reimburse your sponsor if the dog is put down, or even tell you, because then they would have to allot that sponsor money towards another dog. But they just don't tell you, so that they can double down and make more money. The CEO MAKES OVER 200K A YEAR. All of your donations go straight to his pockets.
