We adopted a dog from them in August of 2022. Chloe a rough collie that we have now renamed Laika, and she's going to be 3 years old in January! We have had her since and she has been such a lovely addition to our home. The adoption process was very straightforward. They provided everything we needed and all the paperwork. Would highly recommend considering them for your next pet!

They regularly provide compassionate care to pets and owners alike. I've taken advantage of their cremation service twice. Each time, my dog was handled with care, at a fraction of what veterinarians charge.

On a Saturday afternoon, my A. older dog became paralyzed in her hindquarters. Not knowing what to do on a Saturday afternoon, my wonderful daughter in law contacted her mobile vet to see if she could help

This facility is clean and their guests are extremely well cared for. Always lots of volunteer opportunities, and always full of hopeful critters waiting for your forever home. 💞 Rating will go to 5 stars when they find a new and larger facility! Awesome shelter! They also accept donations of animal related items, really helpful for folks who can't afford them... 🐶🐈🐩🐕‍🦺🐈‍⬛🐱🐕🐈🐕‍🦺🥰

My dad went in tonight to save a cat from being euthanized. The receptionist told him to pick the cat up around 3, he got there (45 minute drive 1 way), the receptionist refused to allow the cat to go home with my dad and said “she guesses she should have called him” but they moved the cat from a kennel to a cage and the cat might get upset if they tried to move it again. My dad asked if the woman could try and she reluctantly went in the other room shut the door for a few seconds walked out and told him it wasn’t happening. Mind you this cat was set to be euthanized this day and they told him to him to be there around 3 to pick the cat up… my dad said he also wanted to donate money to the cats, her response was “well yeah everyone does”….he is driving back out tomorrow to get the cat but the service he received was rude, unprofessional, and most of all uncaring.

Since my story is “unclear” let me rephrase. My father applied for the cat and was approved. He went to pick up the cat as instructed. He drove 45 minutes to be told to turn around because the staff member did not want to move the cat.
My dad has pleasant experiences everywhere else but here. I wrote a bad review because people deserve to know how the staff treats people who are attempting to save animals lives.
So he was approved for the cat but then later denied a dog for no reason expect for the staff member had a personal vendetta against my dad and his girlfriend. She gave no reason as to why he said denied they asked him to prove where he lived, he did that. She asked them if they could set a meet and greet with my dad’s other dog he said sure no problem. Then she denied my father and gave him no reason whatsoever. And guess who suffers in all of this… the dog.

Obviously your response reflects the professionalism of your staff.

Super understanding staff who were friendly as well as caring definitely this place deserves a five star rating. Dropped off three cats early In morning to be neutered and spayed they were ready to be picked up around three all of the cats were calm and little to no visible sign they had even had a surgery. Cats all healed amazingly and quick and you could barely tell by there demeanor anything had changed. The staff here do not get enough credit for what they do and they were overun by an enormous amount of cats, kittens and they all seemed well cared for and happy so I have to say if you have any cats or strays in your area that are not neutered or spayed give them a call or if you have any money, food, or time to spare this place deserves it and would appreciate anything to take away some of the strain after COVID, or if you are looking to adopt a cat or kitten they have an amazing selection of beautiful cats every type you can imagine that have been well cared for. I have to say these people really seem to care and also know what they are doing and I appreciate the service they put out and the time and care and concern they give. Thank you again Jefferson humane society of Jefferson county.

I've volunteered here for about 10 months now, and it's been a fantastic experience! The staff is super friendly, and I consider them to be good friends. Plus, I recently adopted a cat named Julius from here back in March, and he's awesome. This shelter deserves as much support as possible, they treat the animals so well.
