I was talked down to and asked if I could “bring my mother in” in order to adopt a cat as if I am a teenager. I am nearly 30 years old and live on my own. Shocked given how good the other reviews are. Left a really bad taste in my mouth. They also don’t respond to calls or emails.

Very rude service & not helpful. Very disappointed with the service I received. I requested that the stray cat not be brought back on my property once they took away, only to find that the stray cat was back on my property shortly after they took in.

I’ve gotten 2 animals from this shelter and the staff are very friendly and get a great selection of available pets. Definitely recommend walking in and visiting the animals as it is very easy to come in and view

This shelter is funded by the public- but that should only fuel why you adopt from here. I adopted my first, very loyal and hardworking, mouse-hunting cat (Shay, formerly named Lola by SRAS) from here in approximately May of 2008 when she was a stray kitten found in a trash bag with 5-6 of her other siblings. As of November 2023, she has retired to the good life of plentiful wet food and kitty treats- but I had an even more positive experience with this shelter in February of 2022.I had experienced a huge personal loss, and was looking to adopt a dog to occupy the role a former pet had held in addition to keeping me busy. I responded to a post by this shelter on social media of a male German Shepherd (current name Dean, formerly named Koda from SRAS) who needed a home, after having previous breed experience, but was dissuaded by an individual to not seek the adoption further. The manager at SRAS called me back within 48 hours of the communication from the individual, explaining why he thought I should give the dog a second chance, and within 48 additional hours, that dog became my best friend, caretaker (as he can alert to medical emergencies), and forever companion. I cannot thank this shelter, and manager Brian, who facilitated this adoption, enough.It has certainly not been easy- as my dog was formerly abused, it has been rough attempting to get him up to "normal" socialization standards. However, I do not regret my decision to adopt at all, and was fully educated, to my level of understanding, when I adopted my dog. Although, on a somewhat joking note, if SRAS could've give some warning that my dog had undergone police training and would always love the command "sniff" so much, I definitely would've appreciated it ?

It is clean and odor free BUT! After adopting 3 different senior redtag dogs and a young cat from St Huberts I felt we were qualified to be good pet owners. Seems we are not. We live on property with chickens. Our cats have always been indoor/outdoor cats. Working farm partners would describe them best. They spend the night and days inside and go out if they want. We sleep with them and treat them like family. Seems I am a monster for doing that. When I told the woman what we were looking for we were disqualified from adoption. Seems all the cats that were long term to the shelter are better off in their view. The manager got involved and lots of whispers. I ended by saying "I don't want your cat" and walked out. Before you attack me settle down, I don't care for your view. I would expect a tax payer assisted organization would allow a proven (vet references) pet owner would be able to get a cat. The next day we picked up two young cats that are currently sleeping on my couch. When and IF they chose to go outside they will.

Place seemed to be very busy. First couple of people we meet were nice but then the others were rude and we felt that we were being judged that we did not have our current cat up to date on all shots even those we have a appointment in a couple of weeks to get it done.Place looked very disorganized and not well maintained.Also they are Very expensive for their adoption fees. Nearly double the going rate for area. We are looking for a forever furry friend but most likely will never Adopt from here.

I got my cat Rayleigh (formerly Kramer) here. The staff were super nice and well informed about the animals, they could tell me anything I asked about each one! The adoption process was super simple, (only requires proof of other pet's vaccinations, landlord permission if house isn't owned, and everyone who lives in home present at adoption) Much easier than any other shelter we tried. Also, the place was kept super clean and hygienic, there was no smell or dirt and the animals looked content and got time out of the cages to play! very humane and wonderful, I tell everyone I meet who wants to adopt a cat or dog to go here. It really is a great place. (Btw, the cat is doing very well he loves all his new toys and running around the house, he's very sweet and loves everyone!)

My husband and I recently adopted a one year old pup that SRAS dubbed “Janice” (who we re-named “Roxie”!). Here are photos of how amazing Roxie is and what a good dog we found with this shelter. She loves outside time and loves to snuggle. She never barks at anything and always plays with other dogs. Roxie is the fastest runner and loves to give hugs. She is shy around new people, but warms up quickly and will pretty much do anything for a treat!We loved the experience with SRAS and love our dog so much. The staff truly care about each animal that comes through their doors. A colleague of ours was easily convinced to adopt two cats from SRAS because we couldn’t recommend the shelter enough! Five stars all the way.

Both of my cats were adopted at this clean, well run, caring shelter. I would return for all future dogs or cats. Wonderful people work and volunteer here. Animals are loved and cared for. Top notch. Great place to donate to. Your money will always be used to help the animals.
