My husband and I tried to adopt "Taco" from here. We completed a stellar application and visited…read moreTaco for months. Finally, a lady at Sunny Meadows pulled us aside and told us the lady over this place does not allow African Americans to adopt and we are wasting our time. True story

I really like this shelter, but is it a fact that you have to initiate contact often. I applied…read moretwice and was never confirmed but was also never rejected, nor given any reason I would be rejected, which they insisted they would give me if I was so I could remedy it. To be honest, they seem to have the same communication issues as every other pet rescue in the area. I feel like if you initiate often you will be fine. Everyone here is incredibly friendly. They recommend if you want a dog that you visit often and talk to them often. They respond to their Facebook page often so if you are having difficulty try communicating with them through there. We did not end up getting a dog through here, or any other shelter, but I still think fondly of this place. My roommate got his dog, Blue, from here a decade ago, so I know he will always suggest I give them a try if I ever am looking for another dog. Hopefully we won't need to for another decade or so but I know I will check here first when I do.
