The Anti-Cruelty Society Review

I look forward to visiting the shelter this summer! can't wait to give a pet a beautiful home

I did not enter a review of this site and do not know how to delete this information.

Amazing shelter, I would adopt another dog here if I didn't already have one

I love that you can take the dogs out and play with them!

Very clean and helpful staff. The animals are well kept and ready for a forever home.

They were very caring when I took my cat in to be euthanized.

They have a great variety of dogs and cats.and some beautiful kittens.and the animals look to be well taken care of.

They always have a wonderful crew of assistance on staff and great areas to take the pets to get to know them. I love this shelter so much.

I got my first little buddy here. His name is Commodore. It was love at first sight. All the shots, etc were taken care of already and I did not have to pay a lot.

He was so tiny and now he's 9 years old and so big and fluffy!

Thank you Anti Cruelty Society for bringing us together!

Have adopted my cats from them for the past 30 years .They are awesome! A great place to volunteer that can always use donations .A five star place.

Love the work they do to insure the best in animal care.

I took a stray kitten in because he had a respiratory infection. I was previously told that the kitten would be fine with just some medication. Not even 4 days later, they euthanized him. He was only 6 weeks old. PLEASE DON'T TAKE ANY SICK STRAYS IN. THEY WON'T GIVE THEM A CHANCE. They'll just euthanize them.

This is an awesome place. I have gone Two dogs from here they helped us because parents of our fur babies over 8 years so far
We have a Pomeranian and a Shih Tzu From here because they gave me a chance to adopt them both
And also they gave our puppy here chip oh wow I can go on..
We love our pets and the Anti- Cruelty Society
thank you

Sadly, we had to put our dog to sleep. The staff members were compassionate and caring. They treated our dog nice and made sure to tell us in detail how the process was like. Our friend was sedated to make him comfortable. I know that they also do so much good for other pets too and I truly admire all the good work they do to make sure these animals are feeling special and finding good homes. Thank you!

Yesterday was a very emotional day for me I had to put my Dog down the young lady that came to my home was so nice an understanding she cared about my feeling an how I felt about my dog she made me feel better Thank you Samantha this was on 02-14-20

I was so excited to adopt a cat.i filled out a form after I chose a cat. Then they told me they will not let me adopt any cat because I'm graduating in December and I'm going back to my country.

Couldn't have been nicer or more patient as they walked me through the adoption process. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

I've had a great experience here. I've adopted 3 cats over the last 20 years from here and they were all great. A week ago I adopted an older cat (see pics). He was frighted in the shelter and they had him in Charlottes Corner (where the cats aren't caged, usually older ones). He was terrified as his former owner died and he'd been in the shelter since September.

Anyway, I got him home and he got really sick, an upper respiratory infection that a lot of cats from shelters get due to stress. As he's older (they said 10 years) he was having a really difficult time, no eating and no drinking for three days. So I called the shelter and they immediately had me bring him in for fluids and a vitamin shot. They offered to keep him there but they preferred me bring him home so I did. He kept getting worse so I called again. They took him back and stated he'll be there for a week. They also did blood tests and they weren't sure he was going to make it (actually still not sure). I was able to go back yesterday and visit him in the clinic and he seems completely different and better. They gave him fluids, antibiotics and other treatments. I'll find out Monday or so if he's able to come home. I'm hoping although he still is a little sick and it's day by day.

I gave the ACS four stars instead of five. This is not due to his respiratory infection as that can't be prevented. It's due to the fact that they/me think he's older than what it says on the placard. More like teens maybe which worries me. They did do all the blood work and urinalysis and he only has a slight trace of kidney deterioration (normal for age). I hope he lives and does well at my place. It has been stressful and the clinic and everyone have been so nice. Part of me wants to give him back because he's older than I thought and has a beginning of kidney deficiency. He's so sweet so I'm going to keep him if he recovers. I'll worry about anything else later. It's nice they pay for all the initial and current treatment for 15 days.

UPDATE

I changed my review to one star. My cat was estimated at 10 yrs old by the ACS. While he was sick at the ACS, the estimate was changed to about 14. Now at my private vet he indicated that he is at least 14 and probably a little older. On top of that he has the beginning stages of kidney disease. And my private vet said too skinny. So now I'm sitting at my vet paying $200 to get x-rays to see if he has cancer. On top of that they might want other tests. And he's also being prescribed an appetite stimulant. Plus the chart said he has moderate dental tartar that would need to be treated. That I accepted because I saw it on the board. Apparently it might be more than that with gingivitis. And the x-rays came back and he may have cancer or irritable bowel disease
Further imaging is recommend at at least $500. So now I'm stuck in a really bad place. Having a nice cat, that's older and sicker than I was led on. I'm sure I can bring him back to the ACS but would anyone else want him and want to pay for the costs? I don't know. He also had to get a vitamin B shot. So my first trip to the vet was $300 for a cat I've had 3 days. I'm not even factoring the 7 Uber rides I've had to take to the ACS and vet, thats another $100.

I want to be fair to him and fair to myself. This is very upsetting. And the ironic thing is I got him because my 16 year old cat has kidney disease and probably won't be around for more than a year according to my doctor. So I thought I was getting a 10 yo cat to help lessen the blow. Absolutely upsetting and nerve racking.

LAST UPDATE

The ACS called me back and we spoke about him. I have the option of bringing him back at anytime. I just decided to keep him, he's a good cat and I can't bring him back to the shelter. My pocket book will hurt but hopefully he'll have a good few years.

They let out of towners socialze with the animals even knowing we cannot adopt.

Best place to be a volunteer and show your love to the animals. I am volunteering here everyweekend and I adopted my lovely cat here.:)

The lady at the front desk of the adoption center was a bit rude (no greeting, swearing under her breath) but besides that everything was great! The rest of the staff was very friendly and genuinely cared for the animals that were there.

Nice employees, and the dogs seem well cared for. The adoption process was totally stress free.

My pup was spayed here and the operation was great. However, she picked up a very serious intestinal parasitic infection that has left her very ill, requiring medical attention. She was not exposed to anything after the surgery and another vet agrees that it was very likely to have been picked up there.

Unfortunately, I had to give up my 6 year old cat I told them about her personality as honestly as I could. I was told they were concerned about her anxious and bit anti social personality towards other animals and said she could be euthanized. Plus she also had a mite infection that got treated but still needed ear ointment for the swelling. I got upset because anxiety is no reason to kill an animal. She may need particular owners and maybe more training and tolerance but she has love to offer. I thought veterinarians would also seek to her ear infection, she wasn t terminally ill. I ended up taking her back with me :(

This is such a lovely shelter with great staff and a wonderful visitors area that makes meeting the cats a breeze. Clean and awesome.

Took great care of my fur baby for spaying. Very affordable care.

Very friendly staff and they keep the place spotless

3-15-18 had my BFF BENG euthanized. Had rectal rectum cance

We always go to anti cruelty and always find great dogs who need homes . Don't shop with Breeders , adopt one of these babies who want a permanent home and are really good dogs

Got an adorable puppy from a Subaru event here. It was kind of hectic, but there were a lot more people than dogs, so that's to be expected.

Got my first cat, Bear, here..... not sure what to say here, it's a building full of animals that want to be loved and people who are dedicated to seeing that they find it. Your kind of an ass if you give an animal shelter anything less than five stars.

I got a puppy and he is so cute. If anyone is looking to adopt a dog or a cat go at the anti-cruelty society. Thay good bogs and cats.

I spent 4hours at their foster orientation. Eric was offering first time dog owners to take a dog today but he basically pretended I'm not good enough to take a dog. I've spent thousands of hours and dollars caring for my nieces and nephews but I'm not good enough to foster a dog lol. don't waste your time with their prejudice foster program.

Great service. I adopted my dog Derek yesterday. Great decision!! He is so loving and friendly. Thank you all!

My only complaint is they promised to tell me when my cat for adopted and I never got a call or anything. I see she's not on their website for adoption anymore so she must have been adopted.

Free parking in building, spaying
And neutering was 25.00 with online website for family pet. Feral cats free. Bedside manner a little gruff. Could be
Due to production line assembly
Schedule....lots of clients.

Super friendly staff doing great things for stray animals

Very high quality organization helped me to save a kitten we found in the alley!!!!

these dogs are too expensive especially they are unwanted dogs some from bad situations and it's alot to take on.

Dogs may look sad, but it's because they want to go home with you. The volunteers take really good care of them.

Amazing place doing such good things for animals in need. Drop in, even if to justvpet the animals, it's lovely.

I VOLUNTEER THESE ANIMALS ARE SO WONDERFUL THEY MAKE ME HAPPY

The staff is so passionate, but PLEASE people help $upport a great organization!

Gave my bunny up to this this place. The person who took my bunny accused us of breeding her for money then dumping her when we were done with her.

I adopted a 2 year old german shepherd female! She's a lover and the best thing that could have happened to our family.

sarah the manager is a attitude havin beach lol spinning me in circles to get a dam kitten shts crazy

Got our loving cat here. Everyone was friendly and helpful!

Great service. Had my cat neutered and had a great experience. Kittyy didn't seem scared or harmed so I trust nothing else happened to him.

We have adopted from Anti Cruelty over the past 20 years...When we lost our beloved Sophie in November, we were heart-broken! The staff at Anti Crulety were ALL SO friendly and helpful!!! The volunteers in the cat rooms were WONDERFUL!!! They took the time to really listen to our desires and needs for our new kitty!!! We were given time and attention, and we adopted 2 BEAUTIFUL oange tabbies...Zoe and Millie!!! The process was easy, and efficient!!! Anti Cruelty maintains a spotless and inviting shelter!!! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Anti Cruelty as an adoption center..and a non-profit WORTHY of your support!!!

Very caring, responsive and affordable. Sadly I had to put one of my kittens down due to cancer and I was so overwhelmed with the prices for euthanasia and cremation offered by my vet and the local pet hospitals... I called them in tears on a Saturday and the lady who spoke with me was so understanding and gentle. I brought my kitten on Sunday and was received promptly. They have a free parking lot that is very convenient. Another lady walked me through the whole procedure to help me come to terms with my decision and was again very caring and gentle. We had a private room where my kitten passed away peacefully and I was given plenty of time to mourn and cry... The lady also recommended low income clinics for my other kitten. I'm still heartbroken but really glad that the anti-cruelty society exists and provides euthanasia services.

That's the best from desk ever I will always come back y donate money to them

Calming place for pet parents who need to euthanize their pets. Free parking. Reasonable price for services.

On time and friendly staff. Love that they offer free parking especially down town.

Affordable neutering services from caring vets my boy came home safe and sound

Aside from a very busy waiting room, our experience there was good.

Easy to get too and I have adopted a dog from there 8years ago

Took our yoshi there paid $35 to ensure our family pet meets new family and not an untimely death. Anti-Cruelty (This is a no kill a small charge of $35 to ensure these pets can live and find a new family) small price to pay. (Update)
This facility found our family pet a loving family to grow old with. As well as he only stayed from feb-April before being adopted.
(Customer Service)
The team ensured me they loved our yoshi and loved him almosy as much as we did .
They stated he was adopted by a family he seemed to love his happy personality. Also he was very friendly. Even though I wanted to go back and get our baby I'm very happy they found him a happy home

We had too put down our 15 year old dog. They made it so easy. Thank you

Will not help dog with bowel obstruction suggested we kill the dog for $35

I cannot say enough good things. May the gods bless these people for the work they do.

Good place, good people working/volunteering there, good doggos and kitties. You can hang out with the dogs and cats as much as you want and take the dogs out in the courtyard if you want.

This place is amazing and help me say good bye to a very special friend.

I am writing this review because 15-years-ago I adopted my sweet dog Carley from here. She had clearly been abused: she was nervous around people, and had no idea how to be a dog. With a little patience and love she quickly became the most incredible dog and truly my best friend. Unfortunately, I just had to put her to sleep after nearly 15 years of unconditional love. I owe it to the the Anti-Cruelty society for giving me so many good memories with an incredible four-legged friend. Adopt, don t shop.

I love this animal shelter. In fact, I got my doggo from here, they take care of the pet well. They have adoption center, store, and clinic here.

Really great organization to work with, adopt from and volunteer for.

So fucling depressing in here once you go downstairs

They explained the details of intake for lost and/or found pets. Parking great, nice to have appointments with full attention. Professional and courteous!

I took 3 cats there. One was adopted, the other two were euthanized. I was disappointed because the cats were young and sweet!
