We looked at the website and registered beforehand which made the process easier. You are allowed to make two initial picks. Our volunteer was Liza and she was fantastic! She read us all the information on our picks and led us to the room where we met our cat. We instantly fell in love and decided on him. The entire process took about a hour. We were very happy with the service and ease of adoption. The only thing we didn't like was when we met our cat the area was very uncomfortable. It was an empty office.

She acts like she cares but this job isn't cut out for her. She cares only about money & ego! She lies a lot to inflate her ego and to get more donation money. I had to reach out to her over 10x for almost 6 months. To the point where the kittens turned into cats & then had to be put down bc she lied and played so many games with my cats lives! I heard that Happy Endings might get someone else to run their Shelter. PLEASE DO!!!!! Bc Rachael can not handle this role! I've known her for 2 years and getting any help from her was worse than pulling teeth! She's a master class at blowing smoke up ppls azz!

My wife and I recently had an approved application to adopt. We had inquired about a dog that was…read moreavailable for adoption. Contacting the foster family was extremely difficult. My wife finally got ahold of the volunteer family after several attempts and we set up a meet and greet with our pups at our home. They said she was from a breeding situation and had some difficulty when people touch her head, but she was a loving dog. When they arrived at our home the two volunteers didn't seem to want us to touch her. The younger of the two was interacting with the dog, but they kept her on a short leash and away from us as much as possible. As of they didn't want us to interact with her or wanted us to adopt her based on sight alone. When the dog did come up to us she was very loving and would like our face and try to sit in our laps, but they kept her on a short leash and away from us as much as possible. That is also when the history of the dog changed. That she jumps fences, darts to the road when walked and is selective about other dogs. Going to far to say that she attacks her own dogs and would kill cats. When our dogs did come out to meet, the volunteer kept a tight leash and after less than a minute she said her dog was going to attack ours and jerked the leash. Which I did not see, but they had only been in contact for 20 seconds. As reference, I have 5 years experience working and training volunteers as a volunteer manager in a shelter setting on how to conduct meet and greets, education on animal behavior and have conducted numerous meet and greets between adoptable dogs and potential adopters. This includes positive reinforcement training for shelter animals in order to find them forever homes easier. However, in my experience, I feel this was either a case of not wanting to adopt the dog, as they shared their desires to adopt her or poorly trained volunteer staff. As if they were looking for any excuse not to adopt to us, and quickly dismissed any further interaction. They then tried to push us towards another dog they have available on their website that has a known human bite history. They also mentioned other dogs on their website that are currently available for adoption that were "mean". I thought the pup we met was a very sweet girl from what limited interaction the volunteers allowed us, but I feel their mind was made up from the word hello. Then being pushed to other dogs with serious aggression issues made me very wary of wanting to adopt from their organization.

Yes Second Hand Purrs has high standards for adopters, and for good reason. The cats deserve the best. Recently we took in a family of cats. It was exceedingly cold and we wanted to protect them from the elements. We contacted Second Hand Purrs because we knew of their care, concern, and knowledge of what to do. My wife and I nurtured the kittens for several months until they were ready for more care. Second Hand Purrs was able to support us in getting the kittens the medical care they needed and provide them with excellent foster care as well. We went to a place that we knew would give these cats their best life. Second Hand Purrs is very caring, conscientious, and knowledgeable about what is best for the cats. These cats are wonderful creatures and deserve to have their best lives and Second Hand Purrs is there to provide that for them. We are exceedingly pleased with Second Hand Purrs.

All based on volunteers and donations. Kid friendly. Adoption fees are low, kitten's are on the higher side but that's normal. We have adopted two cats with no problems. I know the first time we adopted they did a home tour before letting us adopted our first cat. Oh before adopting a cat here, if you have other animals to make sure they are up to date on vaccines otherwise it will delay the adoption process. Unfortunately we did have to surrender one of the cats due to changes in our human family expanding and one of cat was stressed out and kept peeing on everything, we went to the vet and did all the lab work before surrendering and the owners, were very understanding. Our favorite place to go with our kids to see cats. They are only open two days a week. I believe it was Thursday and Saturdays.

I've been here on many occasions and rarely leave without something to bring home to one of my three aquariums and/or our backyard pond. They have a vast array of freshwater aquarium fish, snails etc, as well as salt water, and fish for outdoor ponds (you'll make your way out the back door for this). They have pond plants, aquarium plants, rocks, driftwood, and more. Pretty much everything you might need for your set up or to get set up, they have. They are well staffed and their staff is incredibly knowledgeable. If you're unsure what you're looking for, or having an issue with your aquarium that has left you flummoxed, they can definitely help you through it. One of my favorite things is they have all their plants well labeled (beginner, intermediate, advanced), so you know which ones might require special lighting or co2. This is so helpful to ensure your aquarium is thriving. The only thing I'll mention is their fish prices are a little higher than some of the other aquarium spots in town. It's nice, because they're a one stop shop with everything you need. But, something to be aware of. Big fan of this spot! Get to it!
