Fresno County contract SPCA. Staff was courteous and welcoming.

We headed to the adoptions area and the dogs were as expected in a rescue/surrender shelter. Many adorable, some sad, some clearly ill but the "best of the rest." We picked our pup and did our due diligence. A sign clearly read of a discount for adoptions over the previous weekend but the staff refused to honor it.

We headed home to deal with our day including a new family member. Made an appt to go to the vet the next day to find that pup was infested with multiple parasites. SPCA claimed the pups were worm, tick, and flea free - Pup's guts were infested with multiple types of parasites. 2/3, I suppose? Nothing unexpected but the false health claim and unwillingness to honor an advertised price left me feeling like we were fleeced for choosing to rescue a dog from death.

No bad, not good. Just, "Okay." Dealing in death is like that? I suggest exploring other options as well.
