Wow... I honestly wish this place was ran by different people to be honest. We got our puppy here a couple months ago from here flea infested and had tics, over 50 fleas...
Let's get started with Concho Paws and their staff, more importantly, their manager. Not gonna name any names but I will say, she is by far the worst possible person to run this place, the attitude and rudeness from this lady is honestly kinda outlandish. The conversations I've had with this lady has been nothing but disrespectful and rude, giving short answers and avoiding questions that I legitimately had for our puppy. Now onto the rest of their staff.
There is two different buildings for Concho Paws, one where they keep all the older doggies at that are in the rows, and the other where they keep all of the puppies and really cute doggies to make sure they get picked up right away because, oh also, you HAVE to go to the other building if you really want to look at any other puppies because they keep them in the very back and have to have authorization to look at them. The staff that are at the actual animal shelter are beyond sweet an amazing, but honestly it doesn't really mean anything.
Unfortunately, we did have to rehome our puppy due to us being too busy and our puppy having serious separation anxiety issues, hence being to Concho Valley Paws separating her and her mother right when they came into the shelter together at 9 weeks old, make that make sense. When we were trying to find places to rehome her we couldn't find anywhere in the area and the last thing that I wanted to do was bring her to this horrible place. My wife ended up calling them anyways, one of the girls that has always had attitude with us answered the phone and gave my wife nothing but horrible answers and rudeness, and she also said, "If you bring her back here we're gonna euthanize her" interesting that you really would put down a 16 week old puppy that could go to a much better home but they wouldn't even attempt.
Overall, I think adopting from this place is fine, it is an animal shelter and every dog deserves to be in an amazing home, but all this place really cares about is money and making sure they can get by by making euthanizing lists. If you really want to adopt an animal, where you aren't going to have issues with paperwork, or getting their shot, or literally anything at all, go to Abilene which is about an hour away. As well as their website still states that they are a NON-euthanizing shelter, yeah that bs too.
Hope this helps all the people that are animal lovers and wants better for this shelter. read more
