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!

I have not personally adopted thru gerties. But I have delt with Gerties many times. The people…read morethat help run Gerties are great people. They care deeply for the dogs in rescue. They take finding the dogs the best home possible seriously, and make sure it's the best fit for the dog. They are willing to help out anyone when they can. They have helped me with things a few times. One of the volunteers knows I have a dog with issues, she has offered to keep him a few times when I have had surgery or needed to be gone for a longer period, so that he didn't have to go to a kennel. They have thought of my dogs when the rescue has items that they can't use. My 12 year old was having issues getting on the couch, they gave her a set of steps so she could still get up to nap on the couch. They put everything they have into their rescue.

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!!

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!
