I rescued a dog there about 5 weeks ago. They told us that he was 2, when we took him to the vet the vet said he s probably 10 months. Which I understand is hard to determine. Then after having the dog for a little over a week he went after a visitor. We tried a different approach multiple times and called the SPCA for advice. It took a couple days for them to get back to us after multiple attempt asking for an appointment, which they say they offer when you adopt there. Once we got a behavior appointment, the guy took us to the back room and just played with our dog. He then proceeded to tell us that the dog was doing this with the people that adopted him prior to us. That information would have been very important for us to know before taking him home. We left there feeling like we got no help. The next day our dog went after another person and we made the choice to take him back to the SPCA. This was a very hard decision for us to make. Once we took him to surrender him, a lady grilled us about how we cared for him. She asked us if we even tried to help him. She was very belittling and condescending towards us in a very hard and emotional time. My experience here was awful. I fell in love with a dog who became family and I had to take him back since they didn t give us pertinent information during the adoption process.
