Both of my cats are from Anderson. I adopted both in 2019 at different months. My first senior cat cost me $125 to adopt, and my second younger cat cost me $50 to adopt. I love them both and they’re the best cats I’ve ever met. When I went into the shelter yesterday (2023) I told the worker I was looking for an addition to the family but had some criteria to make sure they would be a good fit. I looked at a handful of cats but ultimately fell in love with a younger male cat named Penn. I spent some time in that enclosure with him and another cat. Another couple joined in the enclosure and found interest in the kitten. When I went up to the desk to inquire about Penn (who’s rate was $295!!) I was told that the couple that came in after me decided to adopt both of the cats even though they’re not from the same litter. I just felt blindsided and wish I was given priority since I was clearly bonding with him. The other couple didn’t even meet him (probably because I was hogging him). But the situation was disappointing enough and felt unprofessional that I will no longer consider Anderson Humane an option for adoption. I felt it was a failure of having policy or at least awareness of what was going on (since I was communicating with the lady who worked there). ADOPT AT YOUR LOCAL CITY’s ANIMAL RESCUE INSTEAD.

We adopted Whiskey 6 years ago. He was 6 years old when we got him. Those 6 years we had together were great. He was a good dog and buddy to all of us who came to know him.

We adopted a cat one year ago. Great experience. People who work there are very devoted to the pets. Great experience. Would highly recommend.

I wish I didn’t have to give a star. My wife and I adopted a kitten from this location in December of 2022. We just popped in today because we want to add another adoption, cat or dog, but are not 100% sure which one yet and wanted to see what they have available for adoption. When we walked in the lady asked what we were there for and we told her what I previously typed and were told “if you’re not serious about adopting I cannot show you anything in the back and other people treat it like a petting zoo”. So we walked out and will not be back apparently they do not want the animals adopted or repeat customers.

We adopted our dog from here and she had parvo. We had her treated and it cost around $4000. Now our other dog is showing symptoms and we are going to have to pay for his treatment too. They have dodged my husband's calls and are still allowing adoptions at this time.

Someone I know adopted a cat and then a few days, and $500 on vet costs later, the cat was diagnosed with feline leukemia.I don’t think this shelter tests their cats for feline leukemia and now my friend will lose a cat from sickness that she just got.

ANDERSON’S DOES NOT TEST THEIR INTAKES FOR FIV OR FELINE LEUKEMIA (FeLV)! This is a HUGE red flag for any adopter. Feline leukemia is CONTAGIOUS! We had 2 kittens pass from FeLV, one spread it to the other. Anderson’s also allows socialized cats to live in “colonies” in their care, where they will pass diseases back and forth. Since they are not testing their intakes upfront, you have no idea what your potential kitty has been exposed to. They will tell you it’s an unnecessary test. Hundreds upon thousands of shelters and vets will tell you otherwise. FeLV IS CONTAGIOUS! Anderson’s, change your vetting standards. It’s cheap and irresponsible. ADOPTERS BEWARE.

Excellent place to get a dog. From just meeting the worker there to her explaining everything into details about care for our new puppy that we love so much! I would recommend a friend here :)*picture of Ruckus who’s new name is Milo*

We arrived almost 3 hours before the event time for a specific dog that was only available at the event, no sooner. We were first in line for the dog.When it was 11:00 we told the shelter the dog we were here for only to be told that moment the dog "was spoken for" and adopted. Exact wording.We were first! How is that possible?"Supposedly" that morning the foster decided to keep it even though Anderson's state they want fosters to provide a week notice if they wanted to keep it.What's stranger is the dog was there. If it's been "spoken" for and adopted....why is it even there?Regardless of scam type of situation it was, to sit there for almost 3 hours being first in line for the dog to be told, the moment the event start of the dog is no longer available is unacceptable.Why would an organization allow a foster family or "whoever" to decide before the event starts that it's theirs.Lots of underhanded things that went on. Beware of this place!The way this has been handled has put such a terrible taste in my mouth, my daughter has been crying as we told her the dog was ours when we saw we were first for her. Needless to say this will be our last experience ever coming here.I would recommend looking closer into your policies and foster families to ensure this type of situation should NEVER arise to another hopeful family. Heartbreaking. Shameful.
