If you’re looking for an animal to spoil and love, do NOT go here. They let you and your children fall in love with their animals, just to gate keep and hoard their animals on some weird power trip.
After waiting nearly two weeks to hear about a kitten for my son, they denied our application, after going back and forth almost every day. (Can’t you just pickup a phone and call? Or maybe ask all your questions at once, instead of one at a time in a new email?)
The application got denied because my parents cat, who they only had for 4 years, did not have an “extensive enough vet history.” I don’t know how long a cats history could be when they only had the cat 4 years.
I’m also not sure how my parents cats vet history would affect myself and my husband getting a kitten for our children. The shelter also wanted a death certificate or proof that their cat died, Which is so wild to me, and was nearly traumatizing to my dad, who loved their cat so much he has her ashes on the mantle in a personalized box. I had to keep asking my dad for the name of the animal hospital where she died, what day, and what was cause of death, etc, which was very upsetting to him.
I feel bad for any animal stuck at Wayne animal shelter, they’re the ones getting punished because of these over-achieving, power-tripping gatekeepers.

This has to be one of the cleanest animal shelters I’ve ever been to. The animals look like they’ve been taken such good care of & the cats are such sweethearts! You do have to submit an adoption application & wait about a week but it’s honestly worth it for these cuties!

This is by far the worst experience I’ve had with a shelter ever. I didn’t want to believe the reviews but everyone is absolutely right. First off, I had to email them and call them every week to get any kind of update. Each time I called there was something new I had to mail in that they “forgot to mention”. After a full month and multiple visits they finally emailed me back only to tell me my application was denied. The reasoning ?Simply because one of my references was on vacation and could not call back right away and the other one was either written down incorrectly ( my fault I admit it) or dialed incorrectly. Regardless, I sent them the correct number and my other reference managed to called them back. They still denied my application and would not allow me to reprocess just because of a simple mistake! I have been more than understanding when it came to their late responses and have made sure to be prepared every step of the way. I would have loved to provide that kitty with a loving home but this shelter clearly does not care about that. PLEASE FIND ANOTHER SHELTER AND AVOID THIS ONE AT ALL COST.

NEVER EVER go here. UPDATE: now the woman is calling my household a day later to tell me I am "ruining the entire animal shelter" and said "no one wanted your cat". Might I remind you I believe calling my personal phone number to raise ones voice at me would be considered harassment. I would also like to note other human beings left reviews of this same animal shelter and I quote some of them - "This shelter should be shut down. " "It was a joke" "there were at least 4 people milling around with attitudes" somehow with those great reviews I - an 18 year old girl - am destroying and ruining an entire animal shelter as this MIDDLE AGED woman claimed - so childish. I beg of you to not scream at a teenage girl and call my home but instead take that same time to do your job. Unless u enjoy the police being called on you or being yelled at then do not go here.I bought a pet here in 2016 and she was a lovely cat. Unfortunately she was bullied by the other pets in my home and needs to be the only pet in a house - it is unfair to her. So we called and after nine days of no response or the hostile working telling us to wait for her supervisor we decided to just take the cat down there. They refused to take her and when we said we had no place else to go the worker called the police. The police were MORE understanding than her and found our side fair but they still could not do anything. Then she told my father that we would have to wait and when they decide to take her they would "Just kill her anyways" in her words. A SICK woman as this cat is healthy and adorable. They waisted 9 days of our lives and two hours of our day today. I have never met such a rude woman - especially one who seemed to not care AT ALL about the animals. I only hope she actually treats the animals in that shelter correctly and feeds them when she is supposed to as she does not seem to care about the health of any animal. Once again sick and disgusting so unfortunate to have cruel people in this world next to such beautiful animals who do not deserve that. Also wasting police time when there could be a true emergency - childish of her. This entire place needs to get its act together and I see that in the other reviews too.

We got our first cat there in October 2022, and because I love him so much and thought he needed a friend. I went back 2 weeks ago and got him one.The staff was very helpful, and I would definitely recommend going and adopting a little cutie for yourself.My King Louis & Binx are happy and healthy!Update, I am in the process of adopting my 3rd ? kitty from the shelter, and yes, I needed one more...lol. fingers ?! The wait is the hardest part.

I had a decent experience adopting from this shelter. They made me have an appointment to come see the animals and when I did, I wasn’t able to take one home immediately because they said someone else had first dibs already but apparently that person fell through and they did call me to adopt. I found the process to be a little annoying but since I live close, I was ok with it. I am assuming they are screening their adopters very well and maybe that is why they don’t seem to allow same day adoptions. After all, adopting an animal is a life long commitment and too many people don’t understand that. I found the shelter to be clean and the animals to be taken care of. I see them walking the dogs outside often when I drive by. They allowed me ample time to see the animals and decide on which one I connected with. I also understand they temporarily house lost animals until their owners are located. Overall, I found this shelter to be one worth adopting from and I will adopt from them again.

This shelter should be shut down.‘Favoriting’ is an absurdity, due to the fact that they ‘care, not rescue’ animals for homes.I personally have a story with a certain dog that went on for 6 months. SIX MONTHS. Photos of the dog in the office and chilling, made up in holiday gear as well. Then nothing. I had 7 people call from animal control friends, rescues (not shelters) as my reference. And the ONLY response I got (not even ME) was ‘that’s cool. I’ll rely the message.’ If you’re serious of caring and homing animals, I’d suggest actually doing that.
