I can’t say enough good things about our Animal Shelter. They put me at ease every time we come there. We’ve had both a cat and dog fixed. I’ve never had a problem. Really nice people that care about your pets.
This is a wonderful place.So kind and helpful.They matched MacGyver and me and it was love at first site.The adoption fee was very reasonable.Be sure to adopt not shop!
Very nice experience I take my cat there for her shots and they treat her very well places seems to be very clean and very nice people
This place does not take all stray animals brought to them. They often turn down cats. If you are an Animal shelter than you should take all animals that are brought to you. End of story.
I my be spoiling Roz just a bit. Love her.
Because.of the covid they are remaining open but offering curbside service only or u can always reach them.by phone if there are any questions. The are prompt at greeting you once u have pulled into one of the numbered parking spaces and call the number or your parking sign.
Got my two wonderful cats from here. It’s is a great deal of fun to volunteer, and it is easy to tell the employees love their jobs and want to help 10/10 wonderful treatment to the animals. The place is always clean
Staff was very kind and accommodating to our cat.Highly recommend and staff you can feel that they enjoy there profession and animals they take care of.
Got my puppy here a year ago love her to pieces
If you have a soft spot for kids or soft spot for Animals this is not the place for you. We went there just to look at the animals and we ended up leaving with a cat. They make it super easy to interact with the animals and to see what they have to offer. Initially the cost seems to be a little high but when you think about the fact that they are spayed and or neutered and they come with all of their shots the prices are actually really reasonable compared to what you would pay that a breeder or a pet shop.
Staff is polite and answers any questions you may have!
My girlfriend and I went in there and adopted a cat. Paid the 70 dollar fee. We couldn’t take the cat home that do to other obligations. The next day we came in, the cat was gone. They mistakenly adopted our cat to another person. We were heart broken. We understood that accidents happen and hope that the cat went to a good home. To say the least the women who took the cat home did not want to give her back, understandably. Then the staff threw the front desk employee mike under the bus and said this wasn’t the first time that he had done this. My question is why do they have an employee or volunteer who is incompetent enough to mix up the animals. To me this is very sad and I do not doubt that the other people in the past were upset as well. I was livid to say the least. My recommendation is to relieve him of that position to prevent any other heart break. The staff refunded our money and granted us a free adoption. Other than that situation the facility is nice and the other staff were very apologetic. I doubt we will return to the humane society.
OUR family has adopted 2 kittens not at same time, but these people have been great, they are kind and answer all questions professionally. We adored Emmy in December and Caroline the following June. Love those FURBABIES.Now wanting to get a in for neutering and shots. He was dumped at our house on possibly Wednesday nightMy husband found him Wednesday morning.
They were very understanding and used great care when handling my boy.
One of the staff(Jessi) in particular was rude to us through the whole process. Definitely should not be working there as as she was biased against the person who tried to get a dog rescued. Funny part was went to another shelter and she had no issues. My opinion is if you arent going to be nice to the people or dogs you have no business being in that profession.Sorry to say I would never do business with them again. Feel sorry for the dogs.
Not open to public I understand there concerns but cant just make an appointment to see a few without having to wait on a call back I was at dog pound today so stopped down cause I did get a call back but since. I still didnt have an appointment was turned away and Jessie was rude with me telling me I had another dog which was upsetting due to the fact after 11 years I had to put mine down about a month ago .they lack compassion I cried as I left Im just try to help a pet in need of a fur ever home.
I once had a dog, his name was Shaggy. He was between 12 and 14 years old and had few health problems. After a while he had ended up with a polyp in his ear. Due to his breed that would be a constant problem but I had it removed, but it came back. I cared very much about him. He would also get frequent ear infections which I attempted to address but they would keep coming back. The vet who saw him from the shelter had said we would eventually have to put him down.Eventually, we had to make the decision to put him down. I was reluctant for the longest time but I finally agreed it was time. Before we could prepare to see him off he ran away.He was found by someone from the shelter, and they did not notify us until a week later that he was found. They found him with mats in his fur as well. Which if I was in a proper state of mind and not a depressed slump, I would have called the police when they did not want to let us see our dog, nor give him back.I loved him, a lot. So when they threatened us with the humane officers and claimed that by missing two appointments that constitutes neglect. They coerced my mother into surrendering him. I was reasonably angry, and sad.They judged us for taking too long to decide to put him down. Yet they kept him alive for a couple weeks, treated him, etc until he stopped eating and called us to let us know they were going to put him down. Damned hypocrites, I will never come to this shelter again.He had separation issues, and while we were not of means he had a good life with us. I gave him a funeral that befits a friend who I spent my teens with.I was going to get him a haircut and feed him his favorite food before having him put down and cremated, but they ruined that, now I had to just have him cremated and send my mother to take him to crematorium.Director and Vice Director, I would have sued you and the shelter and I considered it, but I care too much for the animals in your care and you gave us his body instead of throwing him in a freezer after finding out the witch who found and coveted him wouldnt be able to keep him.Im not saying to cease your support for this shelter, but to the Vice Director(whos name I couldnt be bothered to remember due to this), had said something along the lines of just another job. I will eventually upload the death certificate as proof he was at this shelter once I get a copy from the landlord that they sent it to so he could be removed from the lease.
My ol man and I came in and adopted a dog from the shelter.....best decision ever. Unfortunately they lied to us about his health and said he didnt have worms and was in good health...on top of that, they only accept appointments on every Wednesday and everything is just inconvenient as far as getting a proper health care for your animal....especially after adopting an animal from there. Its really annoying that they wouldnt just sell a de-wormer over the counter since its so hard to make an appointment. Really grinds my gears. Im an animal lover and for some place that saves dogs from the streets you would think that they would have a better health care center at the shelter.Not happy at all.
This is where we found our sweet Desi. She is absolutely the sweetest girl. We went there to find a playmate for our other sweet girl..They play and sleep together daily...Im So happy to have her.
Took my dog to be neutered and they treated him great!
Love this place. Old male worker is the kindest gentleman youll meet. The rest not so much. And the animals could use a LOT more attention beyond just being housed.
Adopted an older lab mix that was featured as pet of the week. It was very busy but they took care of our paperwork promptly. The crew here is committed to helping these animals find a better life.
They did well with my dog. Had him neutered and shots...BUT sent him home with no follow up care paper or PAIN MEDS! He struggled with pain for 3 solid days!!!
These are the greatest people caring and loving these animals as they carefully find them loving forever homes.We just adopted Nugget/changed name toChloeand we couldnt be happier.
I got my dog buddy here when he was 7 weeks. I love this place. There is a vet here to help you as well. You can adopt cats dogs and sometimes even hamsters.
I loved see this dog name Tubo. He was the best dog! He was sweet and fun to be with! I am sad that I didnt get him! He would be the best dog for anyone! The shelter was a great place! It had room for you to walk and know the dogs!
They are very good with the animals are its a very clean. We love visiting the Animals shelter.
Staff was great and knew a lot about the temperament/personalities of the dogs. They worked with me to find the perfect companion and I am so glad that I chose this shelter!
They have a vet tere five days a week.she is just great with the animal.staff is always curtious and. Good with the animalsi didnt order any thing.i had two kittens spayed
The family and I went in for a cell dog but left with Nellie.
The place is always clean I love going in and looking at all the animals all though I had someone back up into my truck in the parking lot and take off while I was there
Sucked today due to not seeing any animals due to the virse everything planned online to set appointments up n everything else
Most Caring People In The World!!!! 🐈🐾🐕
Jessi hannum is rude disrespectful and knows nothing of how to introduce animals into a pack. I have been a supporter of this organization for years but after today I will be having a long conversation with the director and if miss hannum is still there I will seek compensation for the damage to our reputation and no longer give this organization support in any way.
Not even one star!! Pathetic...so much for being the HUMANE society! A wait list, are u serious?....you wouldnt take a pregnant cat, in desperate need?? Even with the knowledge of a very scary and possibly fatal outcome. Shame on you Muskingum Co. Wont be donating another dime to this bs....and your employee in the receiving department was rude and no help at all! 👎👎
It is a very nice place if youre looking to adopt a pet please stop by there a lot of very lovely animals dogs cats rabbits you can also donate to help the shelter as well remember to spay and neuter your pet
Great staff very helpful, they really care about their animals.😍 Helped me find the perfect fit for our family!
Great place but there are a few people there that arent polite.other than that this is a awesome place
Absolutely horrible treatment to guests and other employees..i was yelled at by one of the suprvisors like a little kid and when i spoke up to defend myself i was told i was mouthy and told to leave or the sherriffs would be called and told not to come back or the sherriffs would be called..sad part is i donayed my free time to help thwm out and thats how i was treated
Superbly awesome staff!!! Very helpful and extremely knowledgeable!!! If you have questions about pets they are the ones to call!!! If you want a good and healthy pet(rescue) they are the ones to see!!!
We adopted the best behaved little 1yr old Jack Russell last Monday and she has filled our lives with happiness and laughter
What a loving staff!!!!!!!I have adopted 4 babies from here. Go see the cats and dogs!!!! They are well taken care of from the staff and volunteers!!!!! Clean!!!!
Staff was so caring and friendly. We love our new baby
Very professional and friendly staff. We found our newest member of our family. 💗
All the people working there are helpful and ready to answer all questions. The facility was clean and all the animals were well-cared for.
Wasnt many dogs there and the calm ones were already adopted lots of cats that needs good homes they were very loveable
The people here genuinely love animals, treat them with love and respect. I wont hesitate to support them!
Took care of our beautiful furbabies like they were theirs.
Someone hit a stray cat in front of my house and just left I called animal shelter and they had me bring it right in...I was so sad for the cat but glad animal shelter could help me I didnt know what to do. plus I get my dogs shots there every year saves me money.
The animals are well taken care of and the staff is nice. I have not personally adopted from this shelter though.
They should put date available on the cell dog pictures!! They arent there. Wont be for 3 months! Dont advertise them till they are available, so disappointed!!
One of the best shelters Ive been too. We got our pup from here
Took real good care of my cats, very nice and professional staff.
We recieved two laege bags of dog food and Murphy is very grateful. So are we.
Terrible customer service. I had a dog on hold until I could come introduce it to my other dog. I was there exactly when I said Id be there. They adopted the dog out even though I had it on hold. I looked at other dogs and the staff was very rude.
Everyone was super polite and friendly and they did an excellent job repairing my Coppers hernia.
Rude, useless, never answer the phone they just stand there talking and let it ring.
Awesome all ways nice and you can tell the animals are well taken care of
The people are so friendly and helpful. They really care about the animals!
Wonderful place. Staff is so friendly and tries so hard to find homes and take care of discarded pets and strays.
Always clean, kind hard working staff, well organized) animals are well taken care of
They took great care of my pet and took time to explain things to me.
They are wonderful people and to me have the well being of the animals as first concern.....
We adopted a beautiful female hound and begal mixed Staff was great.
Very friendly staff an took very good care of our animals
Good people doing the best job they can for the animals. I wish people would learn to spay and neuter.
Theyre are very helpful when you go look at the animal shelter and those beautiful babies.
Great place for pet adoption! Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
If you are interested in a puppy, they will not let you see the ones in the back shelter.
Good customer service. very nice people esp the vet.

2022-01-08The person at the front desk explained to me that you werent allowed to see any dogs unless you had an appt. You cant get an appt without filling out paperwork. She was not kind. Told me to go online to figure it out. How is anyone supposed to bond with a dog?

2021-06-08I volunteered for a while with my grandma until the pandemic hit, and the staff was very nice. I have never had such a good connection with an employee until then.We got a great dog, who is super cute. Very big cages, and a spot to read to cats. You can bring the dogs outside to take on a walk. Im sad it has not reopened, because I want to start volunteering again.

2021-08-14I had gone in to drop off some stray kittens and it was an absolutely horrible experience. I dont know who the woman was, but she was harassing me for bringing in 3 kittens who had messed their kennel on the drive over. She sat there and harassed me for neglecting them. Claiming it was cruel and from a professional standpoint it looks like pure neglect.She then proceeded to harass me because one of the kittens was hot. Which was understandable as we had been sitting outside in near 90 degree heat with no shade for over 5 minutes.Im sorry but if kittens who have never been in a car before get diarrhea on a car ride what the hell am I supposed to do? Pull over on the side of the road and clean it because I just casually have stuff to do that sitting in my car.As someone with sever anxiety, this nearly sent me into a panic attack all because she wouldnt accept the fact that kittens do that while in a car.Absolutely horrible service.

2021-08-05I have always been a proponent of the animal shelter. I try to participate in fundraisers, and choose them for my AmazonSmile.One of my neighbors moved and abandoned their cat. I called to see if they could take her, but they said they are not accepting cats at this time.They told me to find a rescue. I asked if they had any recommendations, and they said to google it.I would have sponsored the cat. It was honestly a pretty disappointing experience.
