The DCHS has always been the place to go for a pet. I hadn't been here since I was a kid, but it hadn't changed too much. When you find an animal or two you can put on the list to meet them. It is very busy on Saturdays and Sundays. This was a Sunday and I was the last one able to out my name on the list at 215pm. They close at 5 so it was going to be quite the wait. The staff tells you any information they have on the animal and anything that might not make them a good fit in your home. They have a screen in the hall to let you know your wait time and see who is before you and their animals they're interested in. My first two choices were already on other people's lists and they were both adopted before I could meet them, which is okay they need happy homes! I was also prepared with back up options just in case, which worked out for the best. After waiting until after close I was taken back to the staff area because this little boy was a special case and very shy. The woman that helped me explained how to hold him and how to handle the situation. In his little "purrito" I fell in love with this shy purr machine. Ravioli was ready to head home that night so the staff stayed late to get the paperwork set, give me all the instructions and advice to help Rav adjust, and make sure I had all the things to take care of him for the evening (they sell a package of items for $45 to set you up and proceeds go to the DCHS). The staff member even helped me carry everything out to the car. Yes it's a long wait on busy days, but it is so worth it. The staff truly cares and one staff member even checked in with me from time to time. This is a place that provides a much needed service in a very good way with wonderful people. I know they helped me meet a wonderful boy who is changing my life for the better.
