This place is a joke . You call about stray dogs and they say . We are short staff and we will have someone come out and see about it . Been calling this place for the last 2 weeks and still nothing has been done. They don't do a thing .

Called the hotline. Someone hung up on first call immediately. On second call Kristy was rude and the opposite of helpful, upon matching her energy she turned it around and seemed to become helpful. The customer service was the equivalent of call the IRS.

These good folks are taking care of an injured community cat I've been feeding. They do awesome work here and should be supported whenever possible!

I'm going to start this by saying that Michael Parker-Badge #251 with McKamey's Wildlife rescue division is an angel.I read some of the reviews and to be honest I am shocked. I just wonder if it's the same place. I've never taken an animal to a shelter or adopted one, all of my animals were strays that I just kept. When my father was alive he would take large bags of dog and cat food to them and also gallons of odor ban. My sister and niece used to volunteer there. Some of these reviews were about people calling for animals to be picked up that were roaming neighborhoods and alike. *Keep in mind as you read this next part that I do live in the city limits of Chattanooga*. I came home last night and there was a very sick maybe rabid racoon in my driveway. When I got out of my vehicle it just stared at me. I wasn't sure what to do because there was a stray cat that we feed on the porch at the top of the stairs he was blocking. He finally went up those stairs and I followed him and grabbed the stray cat and took him inside (we've been feeding this cat for years). This racoon was not only sick but it was injured and I had no idea what to do. My sister called McKamey and they came out within the hour, this was about 7:30 last night. This young man was extraordinary, his name is Michael Parker and he was patient and kind to me and this animal. He was very professional and it was dark and almost impossible to see in this outbuilding that the racoon had decided to hide in, but he did his work quickly, efficiently and as humanely as he could. I was so appreciative for this young man and his attitude during this whole issue. Thank You McKamey for this service and Michael Parker!

My husband and I went to mckamey to adopt a dog. I understand places where animals live doesn’t always smell great. The urine smell was strong, in every room. I had to cover my nose and mouth with my jacket. I couldn’t even look for a dog, I couldn’t take the smell.

I understand there is a lot of good that this shelter does. I understand that sometimes things slip through the cracks. What I don’t understand is the lack of transparency. I adopted a cat about a month ago and was never told that it had a history of litter box aversion, a scarred eye, or was going through treatment for a “cold”. So I was sent home with a new cat and a folder and came to learn all of this once I sat down to look through everything. When I called about him needing medicine, they told me that the medication was on the counter, so essentially saying it was my fault. I was never made aware that the cat needed medicine in the first place because I was not handed his medical paperwork until I was walking out the door with him so thats not my fault. When I did get the medicine, I was never given instructions on what to do. So when I initially had it picked up, it was left in the car for a while instead of being refrigerated like it should’ve been according to the label. The cat continued to have problems with a cold. I called as asked to take it back. They told me I had to wait five days. Obviously that’s long enough to fall in love and couldn’t do that to my kids. So I took it to the vet and right off the bat was made aware that the cat will suffer from chronic upper respiratory issues due to having feline herpes. So now I’ll have constant vet bills. I have two other cats and two young children to protect too. This is all an added stress on me during an already hard season of life that was completely avoidable. I am so incredibly upset with this place and how the staff was rude to me on the phone during this. I am all about honesty and compassion. At this point all I want is an apology at least and for others to know to ask for medical paperwork before they’ve paid for a new animal.

Short version: The facility took in a stray on a Sunday when no one else would/was open. Very punctual, compassionate and kind.Long version: My boyfriend and I were driving through Chattanooga during our vacation yesterday, and found a half starved dog with an enormous tumor on his backside wandering in the middle of the road in an industrial area. Of course we had to stop and get the poor thing, we fed him a tuna packet that was in the car and he jumped right in with us. It was a little difficult to find a place to take him on a Sunday and we really didn't want to drop him at animal control even if they were open. Finally we got ahold of admissions at this animal center and the girl who I spoke to was so sweet and told us to bring him in. The girls who came to do his parvo test were just as kind, as well as the gentleman that we walked inside with to fill out paperwork. The facility was very nice and didn't seem too loud which I appreciated for the other animals. We offered a donation and left with peace knowing that Walter (yes we named him in the short amount of time we had him) would be well taken care of.

Adopted our dog (pinwheel pam) who is now "zada." Absolutely the sweetest animal we've ever had the privilege to call ours. Remarkably patient with our children and continues to fill our home with joy everyday. We adopted her about 2 years ago and she is nothing short of a family member at this point.

Terrible place terrible people. I was told to leave my stray cat on the side of the road where we found it. Evil cooperation.
