Me and my friends went to go buy a cat and they had none available... so we went to look at the dogs while we waited. The second we walked into the dog building it was filled with a horrible smell of dog pee and there was urine all over the floors and it was so nasty. I've worked in humane societies before and never seen anything that poor. There is no need for them to have all those dogs if they are going to be treated like that. read more

We adopted two of our dogs from here and had the BEST experience! The staff was really nice and answered all of our questions. I will be getting all of my animals from here from now on. read more

THIS PLACE SUCKS, DONT BELIEVE A WORD THEY SAY ALL LIARS. I would give this zero stars if I could. DO NOT listen to them if they allow you to put a hold on an animal. I fell in love with a cat and he wasn't fixed so they said I could put a hold on him until he was fixed. They then changed the date of when he was getting fixed to the day before Thanksgiving. I was in my hometown so I couldn't pick him up until I got back which was the next time they opened. Also the rules they told me were that the hold would be taken off the day after he got fixed so I showed up the next time they were opened and was told he was already adopted the day he got fixed. They broke the the so called rules they had. THEY ARE LIARS AND FRAUDS. DONT GO HERE!!!!!!!! read more

I found a dumped puppy on Mumford road Brazos County. Took the small puppy to Aggieland to drop off. They claimed it was Bryan Animal Shelter's responsibility so I drove to the Bryan animal shelter and they looked up the specific location the puppy was found and sent me back to Aggieland. They called to let them know the dog was found in the County and not the city limits and to know that I was returning. They also mentioned to me that it was very common for Aggieland to send people to Bryan shelter when it was County jurisdiction. Returning back at Aggieland they again refused the puppy and was told I needed to return to the location where the pup was found and call animal control so that they can determine who is responsible. I was also yelled at when I placed the pup on the grass claiming that it was unsanitary for the dog to pee and it had to remain in my arms at all times while on their property. Because it was already dark I didn't feel safe returning to the secluded original location to wait for animal control, so I took the pup home and treated its flea infestation and gave it a meal. I was informed that once you feed a found dog it becomes your property so I can no longer call a shelter unless it is an "owner surrender" and that takes at least 4 months for them to process. I am forced to find the puppy a home on my own and the closest low cost spay and neuter clinic available to the public is in Brenham over an hour away in a smaller community and different county. It is EXTREMELY hard to get a spay/neuter appt at Aggieland humane and they require proof tha you are on gov assistance. I was told it is easier if I "know" someone who works at the shelter. Do they not collect funds from taxes from the County and College Station and/or Texas A&M and if not why? Why is there no low cost spay and neuter clinic open to the public in Brazos county? With such a large community with a massive Texas A&M Vet school and high property taxes why is there such minimal services available for animals and the services that are available are so limited that only the privileged few that have friends that work at the shelter can get appts. Shameful policies and rude staff when all I was trying to do was help a puppy left abandoned on the road. read more

Could not love this shelter more. Such caring staff. Amazing volunteers. Please support! And adopt don't shop!

Go somewhere else if you can. We've had too many bad experiences with this place. They will clear you for an adoption, have you fill out all your paperwork for a dog, finalize the date to bring it home (after getting spayed), only to tell you on the phone call to come pick it up that the dog is heartworm positive. We also were told that the two lumps on her head were "just cysts" and that they did not require medical attention (leading to a pretty serious surgery later on to test and remove the growths, taking off most of the area on the top of her head and resulting in weeks of recovery). Frankly, these people do not care about animals. They are pretentious, presumptuous, condescending, and rude. And don't even think about trying to contact them about a found animal or animal in need- they are no help. Aggieland Humane Society deals very under-the-table, and you cannot trust them or their vets. (This is also not a no-kill shelter, in case you didn't know.) It's a nicer facility than Bryan Animal Center, but you'd do better just to drive to Austin for a pet. read more

I adopted a little dog from here and after I had gone there to pick up the little dog and reaching for the little dog, the service person told me "oh by the way she is positive for heartworms. In front of a room full of people and the little dog right in front of me the service person asked me if I still wanted to adopt. This place knew the day before they called me and they still waited till me went all the way there. The vet they have there didn't even know the little dog is going blind as well. I thought we were suppose beware of puppy mills and cruelty but what they did to us was inhumane as well. read more

my roommate and I recently adopted a sweet kitten from here. During our process not once was it verbally expressed to us the cautions to take and the fact that he was literally neutered the same day we brought him home. We had never had a cat before and of course were super excited to play and cuddle with him. He ended up getting an awful abscess that ruptured all over the place due to an infection from his neuter. i ended up having to go back and get him antibiotics and pain meds. I also called ti express how frustrating and sad this process has been. i told the lady on the phone that people are excited for a new animal and should be sat down and told about this procedure and what to do. all she said was that it was in the contract and paper in our bag she gave us. Which is absolutely true. I just think a surgery a pet is getting should have been taken more seriously. I literally walked in the day of pickup and got the cat handed to me with a baggy.. our brand new kitten has been crying in pain and dealing with something that could have so easily been avoided if something was verbally gone over. read more

I have volunteered over a thousand hours at BAS over the last seven years (this month is my anniversary!). It amazes me how incorrect the local politicians and media can be about this private, non-profit organization. Seeing folks like Bryan City Council and people with personal agendas attack the Shelter on a daily basis embarrasses me to be a citizen of Bryan. What makes me proud to be a citizen is the yeoman's work Shelter staff and volunteers do in spite of all the pressure they get from outside the organization. There is no commitment to the welfare of the community that is greater than that commitment I have seen on a near daily basis at the Brazos Animal Shelter for these seven years. I have witnessed children and adults cared for with open arms and shoulders to cry on; happy families and college students walk away with their new best friend; and people expecting nothing but death and sadness to be awakened to life and rewarding, boundless love. These staff members endure grief every day yet refuse to share it with the community they serve. They go through more grief counseling in a month than any other profession goes through in a lifetime, simply so they can have the energy and attitude to show up and help the community and our beloved animal friends make it through the day. I've seen skunks, ferrets, spiders, possums, lizards, rats, hamsters, chinchillas, rabbits, horses, goats, cows, frogs, fish, chickens, guinea pigs, pigs and yes, cats and dogs come through the Shelter. And each of them has a story that includes several people who have loved them before they have come to the Shelter and after they have left. The pivot point for each of these 9000 cases every year is the staff and the volunteers, who carry those relationships with them forever from both sides of the adoption story. I've seen people angry because Animal Control caught them acting illegally and irresponsibly viciously attack Shelter personnel, and I've seen Animal Control officers play politics with the staff as well. But through it all, and more, the Staff and volunteers have made it their personal, instinctive mission to provide for the better welfare of animals and their owners in our area...so they put up with all the incumbent junk that comes with the territory. Whether coordinating vet school students and any of dozens of local vets (whom I would also rank in level of the way they treat the Shelter folks), educating local organization through presentations at lunches filled with rubber chicken, maintaining a database of nearly 100,000 pets and owners, fund-raising, putting on events, hitting the media circuit, managing goofball politicians and incompetent city staff, dealing with overcrowding (two staff members have to "office" out of the employee break room!) or driving back and forth between vets who refuse to upgrade their technology when it comes to registering animals with county tags - the folks at The Brazos Animal Shelter do the right thing every day. They serve. read more

I began volunteering at this shelter because I loved animals and I wanted to make a difference. I soon realized that after every volunteer day the shelter was the one changing me. Aside from the wonderful animals that reside there, the staff could not be more welcoming. It is clear that they love what they do, if not shown by their work ethic it is seen through the smile that you're greeted with at any point in the day. They are so helpful and willing to answer any questions. Krystle does a wonderful job with the events and keeping everyone updated via email and facebook! So even if there's no time for volunteer that week, you still feel like you were there with all the updates! I look forward to sharing more memories with the Brazos Animal Shelter and watching it continue to grow. Thank you BAS for everything you do! read more

There's a difference between a non-profit organization and a non-profit organization that is run efficiently. Humane societies seem DESPERATE for shelter space, volunteers, and foster homes, then make it nearly impossible to provide any support. I PERSONALLY FOUND a kitten recently, and brought it here, but would have liked to foster it until it's old enough to get adopted out (it is very young). Now, I would just like to adopt it: foster it, and then re-home it myself (now, for more than one reason). AHS had previously told me the "Good Samaritan" option was to take the kitten off their hands (immediately) at no cost but apparently that offer is only good for a now expired 24 hour period (??). After learning the offer had expired, my counter offer was to pay the full adoption fee (while it will not include any of the typical vaccinations, because the kitten is too young-- I would pay for them at a vet once the kitten was old enough), and take the kitten of their hands (immediately). They did not accept this offer: they would rather I pay them HALF that price and have that kitten take up space for two more weeks while they "try and find a foster" (and then, bear the cost of providing shots once the kitten is old enough). Meanwhile, I am raising my hand, JUMPING up and down, and am offering them a great "deal" (for a kitten that I found, mind you). While the kitten takes up space, the risk of having to euthanize it if they cannot find a foster increases (which I imagine does not come in at zero cost, either). I understand that not every household is fit to foster and adopt pets and guidelines need to be kept in place. But when you claim you need all the help you can get and you are running a business trying to "save animals' lives", how is this the best way?? Especially since, ahem, I am the one who found the kitten in the first place. This review has also been shared on facebook. I will revise the review once I receive the kitten on my terms. read more

I've been working as a foster for aggieland humane society for several years now. I've personally seen everything that these people do for the animals in their care, and the lengths that they go to in order to save those animals' lives. Several hundreds of dollars of heartworm and diabetes treatment into a dog that might have otherwise been deemed a lost cause, special care for special needs kittens, arranging animal transfers to out of state shelters for adoption so that they don't have to euthanize any animals in their care if they can help it -- just a selection of things that I've personally witnessed. Their processes can be a little messy and the staff can seem stressed, but that's only because of the immense amount of pressure put on them to save animals that they sometimes can't take in, whether for legal or spacial reasons. It's a quality shelter run by quality humans, and I plan to continue fostering for them for as long as I'm in the BCS area. read more

I'm not from Texas. I just moved here recently for the Air Force. Traveling from Abilene to Houston to catch a flight I saw a stray dog and picked her up. I had no signal whatsoever due to my location. By the time I had signal, this shelter was the closest one listed on Yelp at 24 miles away. I proceeded to Aggieland hoping they would take her in, but was told no because of where I found her and that perhaps I should not have picked her up. Thinking I was doing something good only to be told no by a "humane society." It should not matter where the dog was found, your job is to help all animals regardless. I was so angry at their lack of concern. I was left feeling lost. With nowhere to go or no one to rely on, I had to call the pound. Thank you so much Aggieland Humane Society for nothing. read more

The girls here were fantastic at handling our stress of losing our dog. Of course my wife wasn't being very articulate because she wasn't having such an easy time of losing our dog. We posted online on every site we could think of and someone had taken our beautiful baby to the Humane Society. When we got the call that she was there we realized we could do nothing until the morning. When we got there, they helped us understand the process of impounding and how to go about the next few steps. We felt so foolish about losing her the way we did and, frankly, I figured I would sense judgemental attitudes from the people here. This was not the case and we had a very happy ending the next morning. read more

I came here to adopt a dog and when I went to check the dog out it was VERY dirty. The nails weren't groomed and the fur( though short) was unkept and clearly unbrushed. I asked the staff member some questions about the dogs health and the member couldn't even tell me if the dog had any kind of worms or not. This place advertises that the dogs are dewormed but could not confirm whether the dog had worms? What? If you are adopting an animal here, you need to ask all the questions.. Because they won't tell you unless you ask. I had to ask if the dog had heart worms for them to tell me. I was very unsure about adopting at this point, because I wasn't sure if the dog had issues that they weren't telling me about. Overall the staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. I did not adopt from this place. read more
