I didn't meet your reps, but these people just moved in that have the dog. I like dogs...but I'm not gonna put up with a dog that barks non stop for hours on end with the owners not doing anything about it. Bad way too start off moving into a new neighborhood.
Nice selection of animals. They look well taken care of. However staff was rude. A lady yelled at my two nieces for dancing. (No they weren t twerking)
Thank you for all you do for animals in our community!
They found my dog and made me pay to get him back. Who does does that?
They are carering and professional group of people.
Like the star indicated. I hated it. Boss wasn't even given a chance before the people euthanized him. They assured us he would be placed with the Pit Bull Coalition. He never made it to the Coalition they killed him 2days later. So yes I hated it. Boss was the sweetest dog.
Always fun at the Local Shelter. 8-) Be nice to them. They have a hard job!
Great place people really care for the animals treat me with respect awesome place
Have had many positive experiences here with the animals, the educational programs, and community events. My teen is in her third year of Animal Care Teens and has learned so much!
They were quick and gave us the second opinion that we needed. Helped us put our stormy to sleep. Will definitely be back.
Please forgive me, the Fw animal shelter is outstanding. I was reviewing the Milwaukee shelter in the wrong place.
It was Milwaukee Wi, not Fort Wayne Indiana.
That gave me nightmares for years after I had to walk their sorry rows of cages to pick my dog up.
Please
I am glad they are are there to ensure the safety of the animals of fort wayne.
Remarkably unhappy staff. Everyone seemed miserable and was loathed to help anyone in the waiting area. I have donated to the FWACC facility before I had ever needed to go there. After being there and interacting with the staff, I don t think I will donate again.
Please note that the ADOPTION hours differ from the Business office hours! Adoptions is open at NOON Tuesday-Friday Open LATE on Wednsdays until 7pm CLOSED on Monday and the 1st & 3rd Saturday at 11am-3pm
I never have liked them for 9 years. Made me put my dog to sleep for reason
Very friendly staff. They do things that are safe for everyone and for the animals.
I had a difficult task-euthanizing my 15 year old dog who was very sick. Everyone was compassionate and helpful.
He was adopted at the animal shelter 8 weeks old ,he is 5 years now. Wilbur.
I adopted dilihea about 6 months ago. I went back to meet her after seeing her on the web page. She jumped almost to the top of me head. I fell in love with her. She was very skinny and I was told she was returned do to house breaking issues. She only had one accident. My family n myself love her very much. Thank you for what u do for all these animals.
The adoption of a shelter pet is a great service to the many discarded animals and often an animal of great temperment to have a loving home.
We loved the compassion they showed to the animals they were caring for!
Cannot thank them enough for the newest member of our home!
Went to look at a dog. We arrived and filled out the paperwork to see the dog and waited. While waiting we watched another couple ask about the same dog and were told they had to fill out papers. Also we were told since I have a 2 year old son we couldn't adopt the dog anyways. They then showed the dog to the other couple who had a young child and they adopted him. So I guess first come first serve doesn't matter or does the rules about age restrictions. I wouldn't go back there if they were giving the animals away.
Excellent place for finding that special, furry friend to bring joy and happiness in to your life.
I took my grandkids and they loved it! It was very clean and the ladies work very hard to keep it clean and they take care of all the cat.
We have got 2 dogs from here over the years and staff has always been wonderful and knowledgeable about the dogs. I can't say enough great things about them. This is the only place we will ever go for our furbabies! Thank you so much Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control!!
Drake play straight people suddenly the management believes that cats should not be allowed outside??
Allen county is farm country I guess those folks don't like to eat. If you've never open the grain bin with about ten thousand mice and it you don't know what sadness is.
I went there to pick up her cat that was put into the community cat program. If you're playing to go it may take some time waiting outside in line. They only are letting one person in at a timewe did not know this information in advance before we got there. Not a big issue but nice to know that type of information in advance. Volunteers and employees are both very nice and helping out with the pickup and adoption process. Mask are currently required. It is one of the cleanest and more well organized facility said I have seen in state.
Thanks so very much for ur service's & e jus love our Neo we adopted
Everyone is friendly and helpful. We found the doggies home
Quick response time...they picked up a cat from my garage.She did not have a microchip.So they kept her a couple days and dropped her back off spayed,tipped and now part of the community cats..hopefully she will find a home but she is alive and not reproducing.Great job ACC..Another time I called about a dog hanging out on my porch with me.Again they got there quick.Scanned him in front of me.Called the owner and took him directly home. Please microchip all your animals and spay/neuter!!!!!
Wonderful place. Wish I could bring all the pet babies home!
I went there to see about adopting. I will probably be volunteering there. They are so good with the animals. And clean.
We took our dog here in the hopes they would make her better. They said they would try medication and training. They didn't even give her 24 hours before they killed her. Had we known they weren't going to find her new owners and that they were just going to kill her, we would have kept her and found another place to make her better.
Called to tell them about a stray puppie , they responded right away!
you should be able to hold your pets paw as they are having their last breath.
these folks are great and care deeply about the animals they take care of !
Other then I had to put my dog down the staff was amazing an thank u for ur help
I used to volunteer for acc and it's not a easy place to work. But I have to admit it's very rewarding once you understand the process of the program. I can understand why some people would think that It's a hassle to adopt with all the paper work and the animal control officer's having to come out and check your home's but people need to remember these animal's that are up for adoption are looking for a furever home. The people that work and volunteer don't just get to walk in and start working they go through orientation and classes before they can work the floor. People need to keep in mind good bad or indifferent on how they feel about the adoption processes. Not everyone/animals included will mesh with each other. So many different personality in everyone. If you feel you are not getting a good experience then take a moment and ask for another staff member that maybe available to help. For those who feel they have had a bad experience please remember just because you did not mesh well with the person working does not mean that the animal waiting for a fur ever home is the one to make you walk out the door and not come back.
I helped a friend adopt a kitten here a year ago and just started fostering kittens myself within the past two months. The staff and facilities are wonderful! The care they have to ensure the best outcome for each animal is amazing! If you are someone who has love for animals but can't commit to a permanent pet, this is the place to foster! It's an absolute joy!
Amazinv place. Friendly caring workers doing an amazing job.
I LOVED the staff . I adopted a three legged kitty her name is Luna and I am so happy with her and my experience with the workers and volenteers there. If I am looking to adopt in the future I will definately go see them
The strawberry - lemonade pie is very rich & Delish!
People are really friendly and caring... Just wish it wasn't a kill shelter.
They do a great job. Special events and sales are always a hit! We adopted brother bunnies on free small pet day and they are the best boys!
I work with a rescue group and we have pulled NUMEROUS dogs from this shelter. The staff is wonderful and truly caring about the well being of the animals. When I read some of these poor reviews, I became even more grateful for the adoption screening process. Being an animal lover and working in an animal control environment is difficult. It's a job that is never ending, very under appreciated. Those who have negative things to say should try working in a shelter and having to deal with the mentality of people who can't wrap their head around the need for adoption applications and vet references and home visits. The animals at the shelter have generally had rough lives (not all, but certainly most). The caring staff wants to make sure that their next home is a great home that will love the animal, commit to the animal and take the very best care of it possible. Seriously.. returning an animal because it has fleas? Wow... THANK YOU FWACC for all you do.
They take in a lot of animals. They take very good care of the animals. There is always someone to take care of the animals. It only takes a day or so for you to be able to adopt.
They offer great services and make it easy to adopt your new family member.
Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They do a lot of good work for lost dogs and make sure the animals are taken care of. Facility is very clean and does not come with the typical animal smell. Great educational resources for the schools and adoption options for the community.
Can i rate it zero? No. But they are awful there policies are awful and I know many of people they have screwed over big time simply cause there pet got out with out there collar and tags, or it got lost while the animal was lost then they fine the hell out of you and give your animal shots they already had and you have to pay for again as well and then press charges and ask questions later. It is a money maker for the city that is it
They were very professional, polite, and caring about my dog. However, he now has kennel cough. He was there less then 24 hours.
They found my lost dog and contacted me to pick her up. Very nice and helpful people.
We had a stray cat that we had them pick up, due to kids with bad allergies. They ened up spray and nueter her. She came back with a shelter they provide. She is now a commuity cat. Great program for strays so they dont get put down.
Lovely kittens. They have dogs and rabbits too. Friendly people.
Haven't found my new fur baby yet but still looking.
They are busy and possibly overworked. The staff on the day I was there were not friendly but Ive been there other days when visitors were screaming at them...I think they may be burned out.
People incredibly rude to me and my dog. Confusing to think that they don't like dogs
I had to surrender my animal back to them due to Unforeseen circumstances. They were rude disrespectful made me feel awful wouldn't listen to me. Employees have attitudes. Turn in info on some wanting my animal they lost it. . Also when it was adopted didn't release all information regarding the animal to me. All I care about is that my animal finds a good home
We adopted a kitten recently and the staff were knowledgeable and courtesy.
We had to put down our nearly 16 year old cat today. The staff was very compassionate and gave us time to deal with the end. Staff have a tough job but they are understanding of what you are going through.
It's great that the animals given second chances, but the down side is that any one can adopt an animal from them. Some people I saw there look like they need help themselves. People that very clearly will not take care the dog were given OK for adoption within minutes. Was very sad to see.
This is a very nice place because they try to place as many animals as they can into safe homes and environments.
