Last Friday, 01/05/24, my family and I stopped by this shelter as it was on our way home from vacation. We live about 2 hours away from the shelter. We found a dog who we immediately fell in love with. The staff, who was extremely short and rude, informed us the dog would be available today, 01/09/24 and it was first come first serve.My wife drove two hours back to the shelter this morning and made sure to be the first one there an hour early. When the doors opened at 10am, the staff said it would now be a raffle and not first come first serve as stated in person on the original date and numerous times on the phone during the week. When asked what changed the staff did not have an answer. People who had no interest in the dog we wanted decided to put their name in the raffle just for fun and ended up getting her.I would stay away from this place and their shady practice sicne they lie to potential adopters.

From what I see on line they are euthanizing pets every week just for being their for a 3 month period. All over IG is this shelters attached to dogs being euthanized. Maybe they should work harder at finding homes or Foresters for the dogs.... Such a lazy way to treat a life. Who is euthanizing all these animals anyways. How do you sleep at night.

While I appreciate the importance of adopting from shelters, I cannot overlook the issues I witnessed during my visit. I notified a staff member about the filthy kennels who turned around and told me that they do not manage that portion. WTH! It does not take a degree to remove litter filled food and water bowls and tiddy things up. I am giving 3 stars because they are providing a safe place off the streets. My foremost concern revolves around the shelter's practices. CVAC is a kill shelter, and I was disheartened to learn that they euthanize healthy animals simply because they may not be as social. Furthermore, the lack of attention to cleanliness in the kennels is alarming. I've observed feces smeared and stepped on by dogs, and the placement of food and water bowls next to litter boxes is unacceptable. It seems that staff and volunteers need to prioritize maintaining a sanitary environment for the animals. Another significant drawback is the absence of infectious disease screening upon intake. This lack of testing puts both adopted animals and their new families at risk. CVAC charges $12 for the SNAP test, which checks for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline leukemia virus (FeLV), and feline heartworm (FHW) and while reasonably inexpensive they do not tell the adopters. While I understand the importance of covering costs, this fee should be included in the adoption process. Do not be alarmed as these can be managed and treated. Some shelters and vets will encourage to use euthanasia which is totally inhumane. FIV cats can live a normal life, while their immune system is weaker they certainly can be managed with nutrition, species appropriate balanced diet, no kibble crap food. FELV cats should only live in a cat household of other FELV positive kitties. Please educate yourselves and be an advocate for these voiceless beings. I hope CVAC addresses these concerns promptly. Animal welfare should be the top priority for any shelter, and I believe improvements in cleanliness and health protocols are crucial for the well-being of the animals and the satisfaction of potential adopters. I also think they should not keep over medicating cats with meds that they are not responding to. They should get a better health exam and go to the root cause and not use ineffective bandaids. ALL shelters and rescues should watch this video including any cat owner. Cats and dogs should have a better diet learn how to make your own cat food treat your fur babies better than you treat yourself and it starts with diet. Do not settle for crap kibble or the wet food sold in stores. Make your own food Dr. Jones is someone that I appreciate because he knows just how bad the vet industry is and can help pet parents

Staff was so caring and genuine. I took my new rescue dog on their doggy vacation / adoption and after one week I knew that Sarge was going to be an amazing companion for me. The staff at the shelter set up to have Sarge neutered next door. Very convenient! Sarge was having a hard time coming out of surgery. I am disabled and unable to lift a 110 jobs animal into my van. Three petite ladies lifted him up with the assistance of two body straps and walked him to my van. It is difficult to find that level of service!

The place was clean. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They answered all my questions. Even though they were busy they took the time to meet my needs. They let us spend as much time as we wanted in the facility and when we left, we left with a kitten.

This shelter is now closed on Sundays! That was their highest adoption day!! Now they are killing all the dogs not getting adopted. People are only off two days and you've closed one of them. Open the doors! Stop euthanizing healthy dogs for space by opening! I would have saved a pup today.
