    For context: this happened 9 years ago back in 2017. I am finally writing a review about this…read moresituation because it still BAFFLES me to this day. We still crack jokes about this situation at any given time. At the time I was 13 years old and my mom and I were looking for a small dog to adopt. We were browsing shelters all around DFW trying to find the perfect fit for our family. We stumbled across Second Chance and decided to take a look at their small dogs, and that's when we found the cutest little brown Chihuahua! She was perfect, super adorable and amazing temperament. My mom and I instantly fell in love with her and were practically begging to fill out the adoption application. Once one of the adoption counselors sat down with us, she asked us basic questions (have you owned a dog before, was the dog spayed/neutered) etc! Basic questions that we easily had the answers to. Then the lady informs us that the little dog is heartworm positive, and asks us if we know what that is. Well yes we do know what heartworm is! She then asks if we have ever had experience with a dog that is heartworm positive. (This is when it gets absolutely ridiculous) My mom, thinking she was adding important insight and HOPING to inform the counselor that we will in fact actively treat her condition, said that she did have experience with a heartworm positive dog.....WHEN SHE WAS 5 YEARS OLD. IN MEXICO. IT WAS HER FATHERS DOG. My mom, at no fault of her own, once again let the counselor know what this was literally 25-30 YEARS AGO. And it technically wasn't her dog. She just grew up with this dog and knew that when her father first adopted it, it was heartworm positive. And of course they treated and cured the dog of heartworm as well! But, it didn't matter. The lady took the little dog out of my hands and said they don't adopt to anyone who has had a dog in the past that was heartworm positive. My mom was baffled and once again tried explaining that it wasn't her dog. They didn't care. I was sooooo upset and honestly I was mad at my mom for even saying anything but in retrospect it wasn't her fault. That rule is absolutely ridiculous especially if it apparently counts towards when you were a child with no autonomy over what animal happens to be in your life. I don't know if they still operate like this, but do yourself a favor and just go to Operation Kindness. A million times better and amazing customer service as well. This is where we ended up finding our new member to the family, Bella! This place definitely has first come first serve on animals but with their STAFF (as seen in other reviews posted) and they make it very obvious by the insane rules and "criteria" they use for adopting out a dog/cat. I am 22 years old now and still would not recommend.

    Through our years of living here in Sachse we have worked with the animal shelter and animal…read morecontrol a few times. It has always been a good experience, very professional but kind as well. Their first priority is the animals, where it should be. This morning my dog passed and I did not know what to do. I was here alone after a recent back surgery and did not know what to do. I emailed the animal shelter early this morning and got a quick response. They helped me take care of everything while the family was away and were incredibly compassionate and professional. I cannot say enough good things about this shelter and animal control.

    PLEASE READ!....I adopted a kitten from the Sachse Animal Shelter..the staff assured me that the…read morekitten should not have feline leukemia and that is was rare ..i trusted in the staff and brought the kitten home to a cat that is a year old to play with. The kitten was diagnosed with feline leukemia and was euthanized. The 1 year old cat contracted the leukemia from the kitten...I will lose 2 kitties over feline leukemia...Yes I learned a valuable lesson..My point is if you are looking to adopt a kitten or cat from this shelter get the kitten or cat checked 1st before taking the kitten or cat home... For anyone who has adopted a cat or kitten at the same time as myself your kitten or cat is at RISK...Adoption took place July 27, 2014...Feline Leukemia is highly contagious...please have your pet checked

    I hope corperate takes a closer look at this location and fixes the culture here. I end up having…read moreto drive miles in another direction to get food for my dogs cause they're so unfriendly at this location. It's an all white staff, has been for years, and none of them want to help you if you're ethnic. Every other spot I've been to is great, the most friendly staff, but this location is horrid. It's been like this for years now. You are only welcome there if you're white. Today I had a really rude large white lady with black hair snap at me for asking questions about my dogs snacks. She had total attitude from start to finish like I had bothered her whole day or something. Then, when I went to check out (cause apparently they removed the counters so employees could spend more time helping customers ironically HAHAHAHAHA) I asked for a bag and she snapped "we have none sorry" with this evil smirk on her face..... it's crazy how different literally ALL THE OTHER SPOTS ARE except this ONE. They need to recycle their entire staff and management and make a point to diversify, this neighborhood is becoming predominantly colored people, it's not right to have a location like this that promotes racial profiling and such grotesque behavior. ***UPDATE*** I have spoken to Sharon W directly myself and she was completely defensive and biased to the entire situation. So people know, most owners use AI to respond to us, this is just some blanket comment the "owner" left to cover their tracks. This company has gotten so big they do not care anymore about the culture of their stores or maintaining good customer service. This was really disappointing how corporate decided to handle this. I am wearing my meta glasses everytime I walk in now and hope I can catch this on film and blast this place.
