Very disappointing experience. We visited to meet a kitten that we truly wanted to adopt. The staff…read moretold us that we could not reserve the kitten and that we needed to come back the next day to complete the adoption. We trusted what they told us and returned exactly as instructed, only to find out that someone else had already reserved the kitten. This situation affected me deeply. I have been feeling extremely depressed and overwhelmed by what happened, and my anxiety became so severe that I ended up going to the hospital. Losing the opportunity to adopt the kitten after following exactly what the staff told us was heartbreaking. We wasted our time because the staff did not clearly explain their adoption process or give us consistent information. If someone else was allowed to reserve the kitten, we should have been given the same opportunity. I hope management takes this seriously and improves the way the staff communicates with potential adopters. No one should be told one thing, follow those instructions, and then come back the next day to discover that the opportunity was given to someone else. I m on several depression at the hospital

We adopted our now 2 year old poodle mix, Jett (previously named Loki) from Pets & Pals in mid…read moreNovember. When we first arrived there, we noticed how peaceful the place was - none of the incessant barking that you encounter at the local shelter. Their grounds were well maintained. We were told the dogs are let out to run in the yard for 3 hours a day. Their website has a bio on each pet so you can read a background info on each one. Obviously when it's an owner surrender they have more information on the pet, less so if the pet was a stray. But even then, they observe them while at the shelter to give you an idea what to expect. Their system makes it easy to adopt. I recommend sending an application in to get approved first. Once you've been approved, just call to make an appointment to see a dog or cat that you would like to meet. They will hold the dog or cat for you until your appointment. This is different from local city shelters where you might see a dog or cat listed online but it might be gone by the time you get there. Their adoption fee ($350) is fair as my dog was already microchipped and his shots were updated, except for rabies. I was a bit surprised that he was released without updating his rabies. All in all, I would recommend PetsNPals to anyone looking to adopt. They definitely care about the pets and try to make their shelter stay as pleasant as possible. Please adopt, don't shop for a pet.

Adult cats are great to adopt, since their personalities are formed and you know who you're going to be living with. I wanted a male cat that loves people. A search on the online site pet finders, found 502 adult male cats within 100 miles. Then I looked for black or tabby, and a mention of an affectionate disposition. Escalon is 1hr 40 minutes from home, but they had the perfect cat! They treat the animals very well, even though the shelter itself is old style with cats in little cages. I was impressed that they take care to get to know the individual pets and their personalities. Thank you for my new partner in mischief!
