I have spent a bit of time here recently, and for the most part this place is amazing. The facilities are super clean and of the highest quality of all shelters I have been to. But.....its the humans that seem to be problematic, not all, and only on specific days. At times there are so many volunteers that it makes it difficult to actually spend any time with the animals(dogs specifically), for individuals truly looking to adopt. The humans inject themselves into your meeting so much that you cant even get a glimpse of the animal you are trying to engage with....followed up with an aggressive, "what do you think, should we fill out the paper work?" I just wish the goal was to find the right human for the right animal companion, instead of adoption pressure, and volunteer animal trainer elitism.
