As I have yet to adopt, Sara at the shelter helped me so much, she held a puppy for me when I couldn’t make the first meet and greet. I got to meet Sara and the puppy the next day, Sara, by the way is AWESOME, and the puppy was well cared for and happy but she was going to be way too big. The shelter was very clean and well run, if they get a puppy that fits me, I will certainly be back!

I have to admit, I wish I would have read the Google reviews before we adopted from here. My wife and I adopted a doberman/boxer mix and had to relinquish him after 7 days. We were led to believe he was cat friendly (not an entire lie, but it was a CONSTANT obstacle to get him to leave them alone). We were also told he was a sweet boy that was normally calm ( we should have questioned that more when Sara brought him in and he was OUT of CONTROL jumping, barking and just unreal energy). After a week of 6 mile a day runs, 3-4 20 minute fetch or tug sessions a day and CONSTANT watchful eye we could not keep up with his energy. There was no off switch on this dog. The only way he laid down was in his crate and he barked for several minutes before he would calm down. Although Sara was very helpful and didn't make us feel bad or uncomfortable in any way we do believe she painted a MUCH different picture of the dog than was true. We felt absolutely awful having to give him up, but we also didn't get what we thought we were getting. So, 2 stars, the staff was fine (nothing like the rude comments posted in other reviews), but they are not honest about the tempermant of the animals.
