North Shore Animal Shelter

Two pets and counting... I love that they interview you before take home and the staff have massive amounts of patience. Please be warned to have accurate up-to-date information when you attempt to adopt. The staff is trying hard enough to care for the animals, give them a little slack when they can't help you as you intended they help you. Enjoy your furry families.

Good visit. Very informative and they showed a genuine concern for the well-being of my dog. However, I won't give it a 5 star because they don't accept walk-ins, which my dogs condition sometimes requires..But overall, a very pleasant experience.

This review is specifically for the pet health center. I absolutely love this place. They are so passionate about taking care of animals. I have always encountered the most wonderful staff here. My dog has had dental work and cleaning done here. She has also had a serious surgery and they took amazing care of her. They always give me an estimate with the high and low end of what a procedure will cost. I never feel pressured to do anything unnecessary. I couldn't say enough positive things about how great this place really is, it just wouldn't suffice. I was there today, and last night was hurricane Laura down south. They had a drive set up in the parking lot taking in donations to help the animals affected by the storm that just happened last night. If you are looking to adopt a pet this should be at the top of your list. They do so much for so many pets and they are the largest no kill shelter in the world. My dogs current vet is Dr. Tejada and she has been absolutely amazing with my dog and my family during some difficult times with my now 13yr old dog. I am so grateful for the entire staff and how well they have always treated us... No place is perfect but for me and my family this is definitely as close as we can get.to perfect! ud83dudc99ud83dudc99 Thank you to everyone for all you do at this wonderful place. If you read my review all the way to the end and found it to be helpful, please give it a thumbs up and like it!

We were open and honest on our application about all of our pets. They reviewed the application and said there were no issues and we were approved to adopt. We drove an hour one way to find our forever baby. We found him and were ready to leave with him. Until the person helping us said hold on a minute and disappeared for an absurd amount of time, but allowing us to fall even more in love with our little guy. They came back to say our application needed further review, pending a virtual home visit, because we have snakes. We just drove an hour from our home, now you want us to go back and wait for a phone call? How was this not already taken care of? Not to mention, the snakes are a docile breed and very secured, which they knew and agreed was ok. Now who's to say our love bug will even still be there when this is all over. What they did to us today is so not ok. We are heartbroken.

Great staff, beautiful puppies... a bit of a wait but very satisfied with their customer service.
