Words From Happy Homes

Audrey Newcomb

We have 5 pets from the humane society, and all of them are wonderful! I believe the staff is nice and patient. The process of adoption is easy, fast, and efficient. From what I see, the animals seem to be well treated, happy, and clean!

Savannah Oleary

I love what they do. They keep it nice and clean in there. They are great with the animals. It's a great place to volunteer or find a fur baby.

Kirt Dewitt

This shelter is a great place to find a new furry or sometimes no furry pet to add to your family. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I've got 3 kittens from them over many years, and every time I do, it's a great experience.

Tenny Martin

Amazing people that are friendly and care about animals. They actually want the animals to go to a good home and treat each one as though it was their own. The best pets are rescue pets anyway!

Chris Daubert

Very friendly staff. They helped me adopt my beautiful cat, Casper! I would definitely go back and adopt all the animals I wanted, but that's obviously not realistic. The animals were in good shape and clean. It seems they're treated with care.

Ammie Baker

Amazing place. Animals are well cared for until they find their fur-ever home. The caretakers take amazing care of the loves. I hope that everyone will consider going and adopting today!
