Horribly unprofessional and rude adoption staff. Just prepare yourself before you visit if you re planning on adopting a pet here.

I honestly never leave reviews but I feel this is necessary so that maybe the staff can get proper training and the dogs will have an increased chance of getting adopted faster and to better homes.
I just moved into a very dog friendly apartment complex and came today with full intention to adopt a dog. Let me walk you through the experience.

We walked through an office to see the dogs available. We started talking with a very friendly and helpful dog walker/ care giver about what we were looking for. We mentioned that we were looking for a non pitbull because our apartment complex did not allow it. She said it would be tricky but there were a few not listed as pit bulls including a Great Dane mix and a bull dog and then asked if we d like to talk to an adoption counselor. She showed us back into the office where a nasty blonde girl commanded us to fill out an application and wait in the hallway to be called( there was no one else in the office or waiting and there were 4 adoption counselors doing nothing in the office). So I filled out the application and brought it into the office where there girls were still doing nothing. And she said to go back and wait in the hall way in the rudest way possible. When they finally called us in they didn t look over our application at all just took my ID. I asked if there were any dog friendly dogs and she said no that they don t have any friendly dogs but to go take a look at the dogs again to pick one to meet with.
So we went back and looked around and found a cute English bulldog that we wanted to meet. The caregiver also showed us that there was in fact a list of dog friendly dogs on a white board. So we went back to the office to ask to see the bulldog and another Great Dane mix. The counselor said that there was a problem with my application - that because I live in an apartment complex they d need to know if there were any breed restrictions - I said yes pit bulls are not permitted and she stopped me there and told me that they don t have any dogs that aren t pit mixes and that she can t allow me to adopt a dog. I told her that there were dogs that weren t pit mixes and she argued with me and told me there was not.. at that point I was so frustrated I got up and left. These two dogs were NOT pit bulls. Yes, most at the shelter are, but these were not and did not have pitbull listed on their documentation or even look like pit bulls.
I wasn t going to spend another minute arguing with a woman who clearly didn t care about the animals or the organization in anyway shape or form. I honestly can t even comprehend the rudeness.
Please hire some better staff!!
