The last time I adopted from there was years back, a cat, no offense to the previous administration but the improvements are amazing. They respond very quickly to any questions or request to see a pet after application is done. The kennels are all clean, animals well cared for. The don't leave you hanging for days when you call, ask questions or do application. The front desk ladies are extremely professional and well organized, as good, much better actually than other rescues I have seen. They have you bring in current dog to meet potential adoptee which to me is a GREAT idea, the young man that handled that was extremely knowledgeable and kind. In todays world of so many needy pets, they are the light at the end of the tunnel, wonderful people and amazingly professionally run. The adoption fee is also very fair considering how much it includes, getting a pet already spayed or neutered is a huge plus. I would recommend adopting from them to all who are looking for a furbaby to add to their family, Bravo SPCA!

A year and three months ago, I adopted my dog Bella from Seventh Heaven Rescue, and I couldn't be…read morehappier with the experience. From start to finish, they were incredibly thorough, kind, and truly dedicated to doing what's best for their dogs. They take great care to ensure the right placement, and while the process may feel lengthy or demanding at times, it's clear that it comes from a place of genuine care and responsibility. They want their dogs to end up in loving, forever homes--and it shows. I'm so grateful to Seventh Heaven Rescue for bringing Bella into my life and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to adopt.

I applied to adopt a specific dog from this shelter. Linda let me know that dog was not a good fit,…read moreso I thanked her and let her know to put my application on hold. A week later she called me while I was at work saying she had spoken with my landlord and that my apartment did not allow pets. I was quite confused because I had never heard of the woman she had spoken to, and I had asked her to put my application on hold and was now midway into adopting a dog elsewhere. I tried to calmly get to the bottom of the miscommunication, reminding her that I had sent her written proof of my pet policy over email, and that this was not my landlord she had spoken to. I suggested maybe it was a wrong number, or a new employee at the leasing office. She snapped at me "Would you just be quiet and let me talk!" At this point I told her to withdraw any of my information from her system, and never contact me again. I called my landlord and she said she had never spoken to Linda. This strange miscommunication should never have happened, as I had already requested my application be put on hold. It also could easily have been resolved if Linda had listened to me and conducted herself with professionalism. I am so happy I will be picking up my dog tomorrow from a more professional shelter. For these reasons I can unfortunately not recommend this shelter. But please, adopt (elsewhere) don't shop!

Linda and Ed are marvelous, honest, and very hard working and really care with a massive heart about what they do. They are strict about requirements to adopt from them. That is only because they want to do their very best to make sure any adopted dog is in the safest hands possible and that potential adopters are fully prepared and able to take the best care possible of any dog they may adopt. It is a lot about the dog and minimizing return to shelter situations. They really do dig deep into potential adopters, again this to make sure any adopted dog will be safe. Linda and Ed have made Gerties Small Dog Rescue their life, they have an excellent track record and are well respected in the community as well as within animal and rescue circles.

They get them fixed, if needed, shots , etc and screen adopters to be sure the kitties are going to safe and loving furever homes! The staff is wonderful and so caring of the cats and kittens that are there! They do rely on donations of money, food, litter, etc. to be able to take in more cats. They find foster families to care for mamas and their babies and post pictures of the available cats. I do donate as much as I am able. They truly do an amazing job!! They also have a gift shop to purchase items and that money goes directly to the caring of all the cats. Stop in if you're looking for a kitty to join your family- you will find the perfect one for you!!

Arlo is now almost 6 months old and the picture of perfect health. He is now fully vaccinated and has had no health concerns. When I went to the foster's house, they kept the same litter together but, had two different litters in different rooms. I still stand by my four star review and they are an awesome place to adopt from. The foster even checks in from time to time to see how Arlo is doing and wanted to see pictures of him growing up! Also, I mentioned in my previous review that I would rate five stars if they offered more things like microchipping and the like. I stand by that as well but, would like to add that East Coast Adoption Agency is a 501(c)3 and my local shelter gives low cost adoption to dogs adopted from a 501(c)3. Saved a few hundred dollars that way.

We waited years for the perfect puppy. Adopted a three month old goldendoodle from East Coast…read moreAdoptions. We picked her up from the foster home within two hours of them being transported from Birmingham Humane Society so the adoption agency did not know much about her litter. What we thought was kennel cough was advanced pneumonia. All puppies in the litter were hospitalized after being adopted. Our puppy, Hazel, did not make it after being on oxygen for several days. She passed away within a week of us adopting her. All families involved spent thousands on medical bills as our pet insurance did not cover pre-existing conditions or any bills within two weeks of adoption. East Coast Adoptions should change their practice going forward to hold dogs for a longer period of time after transport. They administered antibiotics to our puppy that were inappropriate for her size and made her sick and they do not have dogs by a vet after making it to New York. We are unlikely to ever rescue a dog again but we would never recommend East Coast Adoptions. We know that this was an unfortunate event and everyone is trying their best to rescue dogs but ECA has put dogs and families in terrible situations.

There are many cat rooms here with cats that have been neglected or left behind. There are also many dog kennels in areas that patrons do not see. You can look at dog photos on the wall to pick a dog to play with. There is an outdoor area for you to play with the dogs. My favorite cat is princess lord. She is adorable. This animal shelter accepts food, monetary, time, and toy donations. The ladies that work here are really nice. There is a thrift store across the animal shelter which donates all the money to the animal shelter. Support it! The Susquehanna Animal Shelter also brings the animals to the local colleges to help students and faculty to destress during finals week. Adopt , don't shop!
