The volunteer asked if we had other cats and were they indoor or outdoor. Told her the truth that 3 were in and one was both in and out.

I hate saying this because they do help animals but our experience was painful and rotten

It's been a while since we've visited the humane society. I remember that we were able to interact…read morewith the animals last time we visited, which was quite a bit ago honestly. But this time it was different. You had to get on a wait list to be let in the room, and they watch you the entire time, and you have to commit to adopting in order to interact with the cats and dogs, which is so much pressure. I was told that they had to do it this way because the old way was stressing the animals out, because people had unruly children... I can see it both ways, but I was selfish in the moment and just wanted to cuddle some cuteness. I wish people would consider these things when they go places with their children, teach your kids how to properly interact with animals, and respect their space. That's how I teach my son, I point out the animals social cues to him, I tell him when to pull back if the animal is getting over simulated. We've never had an issue, we always enjoy our visits with our furry friends and it's always a great time! So, I hate that a boundary had to be set, most people are looking for their next pet and may not be ready to commit in that moment, had I known this prior to coming we would have not come at all. The facility is clean, but the minute you walk in to where the animals are being kept, you are slapped in the face with a really pungent smell... Some dogs had feces in the spaces that they were being kept in, which was really sad. Dogs are much messier than cats so I know it happens. Our visit this time around wasn't as pleasant, because of the changes. But the staff were super nice and attentive.

I met my new little family member at a 4th of July Block Party and knew she was the one as I have been looking for quite some time now. After speaking with Holly Hicks (owner) and the rest f the staff it was clear that they were in this for the animals and truly cared about finding them loving homes. I filled out an adoption form and called Holly shortly thereafter. While she is not located in Midland, NC, she often meets there as she works closely with McCoy Feed & Supply http://www.mccoyfeed.net/ ( hence the address is McCoys) The adoption was $250 and includes her first shots, micro-chip, and spay when she is older (voucher). I also was given a huge bag of food, some de-wormer, and some special treats from McCoys. While I know not everyone can adopt, I strongly encourage you to donate as they are a wonderful organization http://tailsofhoperescue.org/available.shtml Thank you Holly, as I can honestly say Bindi has already enriched my life so much, I really admire what your organization does and am a very happy dog-mom!

There was no sense of courtesy from any employee and I, among others, waited over and an hour and a half before leaving out of frustration. When calling out names, the employees were not even being loud, with the dogs and cats barking, its no wonder how people cannot hear their names. Its like the girls were purposely trying to not have to interact with the customers. I noticed a lady asking the employees questions and she reported that the girl was giving her an attitude. It really did seem that way. I had gotten so anxious waiting and feeling unwelcomed that I had a panic attack and left before they even called my name. Got in at 2:25 and left at 3:55. It sucks to see the employees not care about others and the animals. I was there to adopt!! I hope they work on management amd customer servive because it was horrible.

Our new place down here isn't big enough to handle fosters, but we still want to help out all those poor kitties. The shelter is set up to hold about sixty cats at a time (not sure how many dogs), though when we went there were under twenty of them. The cages are very spacious and clean which is important to not only the cat's health but to make them more "attractive" to prospective parents who drop in. There is also a nice little wooded area set aside as a dog walking trail, so there is a nice place where their dogs can get some exercise. The employee at the front desk was very friendly and appreciative of our donation. The location is a little off the beaten path but still worth visiting if you're looking to bring home a new family member. The cost to adopt a cat is $85 and it's $95 for a dog. I would highly recommend adopting over purchasing from a breeder or somewhere else.

People that should never owned a pet got one. For example the cuteness of the puppy has worn off so I am just going to drop it off , or I am moving , or just tired of owning a pet . Owning a pet is a lifetime commitment their lifetime.
