The other Goodwill location in Harrisonburg that I stopped at and I had better luck. This one sits…read morein a plaza with other places to go if you feel the need. Much like the other location I had gone to, they had the items that made this place not feel so much like a traditional Goodwill. But what they did have wasn't a lot. I was able to snag a basket, which I was looking for, and a little something else that I was just lucky to be in the right place, at the right time. After picking up the basket I did a quick search of their electronics. They were kind of scattered about and not really in a designated area. When I came across a VCR. I know, why did I want a VCR? Because, that's good enough. They actually had two here, but this one appeared to be in better shape. However, I had no way of testing it to see if it worked. There were no outlets nearby nor a television to hook it up to. So I took my chances and bought it for the $10 they had it marked. No remote, but no big deal there, that's what universal remotes are for. Staff at the register was pleasant to deal with. However, the bag was a little too big and I should have just said to forget the bag. Oh, yeah, the basket was decent too.

What the dogs looked like compared to now is a complete 180 and they are unrecognizable. More importantly than that she takes in dogs that don't know nor understand a kind human touch and love and shows them a life free of pain and full of love and compassion. This is paradise truly.

Their website it by far one of the best sites I have been to that write such loving descriptions of each cat. The reason why I stopped by is because my significant other adopted a cat here in 2021. That cat ended up being such a sweetheart and a pivotal member of the family - even converting my dad into a cat person. This also sparked my brother into getting a cat too. It was all thanks to RHSPCA and their staff allowing my SO to adopt this particular long hairs orange cat that day.

From what I know, this is an organization that prides itself on giving back to the community. Yes, there is a selection of older, less popular paperbacks priced low, but for people on a budget, the used "newer" books are overpriced. They are just used books, people. There is no need to squeeze every penny out of us, especially since they get these books for free. So much for shopping local. I'll go back to ordering used books online. So much more affordable.
