    Sweet momma and babies
    Jennifer M.

    Thought I would share my foster experience with NOAH as a testament to their focus on animal welfare. I have fostered three times with NOAH: A litter of three 6wk old terrier puppies, a 6wk old daschund singleton, and a young mom with 4 newborns (YIKES!). The first two were easy breezy. I was given good instructions and tons of supplies. The mom with 24-hour old puppies was a bit of a stretch, but they were super helpful again on supplies and support. Unfortunately, the mom became ill. The NOAH team was super quick to respond. They had me immediately bring them all back, took everyone to the vet, and found an experienced medical foster family. All are doing well!

    I was fortunate to be a part of my employer's volunteer event at NOAH. NOAH is a non-profit organization focusing on saving dogs and cats. NOAH is a non-kill shelter. NOAH doesn't accept animals from the public or from pet stores. NOAH only accepts animals from partnering shelters throughout the United States (natural disasters and such). Once a NOAH animal, always a NOAH animal, meaning that if the owner can no longer care for the pet, the pet may return to NOAH. NOAH takes the adoption process seriously and has "match-makers" on site to go over the best fit for owner and animal. Keep in mind, the interest lies with the animal and not the person. Just because a person likes/wants the animal doesn't mean they will get the animal. Animals are only adopted out if the fit is right (temperament, home, family unit etc...) More places should operate within these guidelines in my opinion. NOAH offers discounted spay/neuter 7 days a week. The proceeds from these services unfortunately does not go back into NOAH. The majority of the tasks are completed by volunteers. During our event, we picked up dog poop, re-filled poop bags, laundry, cleaned and disassembled crates. In an attempt to keep costs down as well as raise money NOAH accepts donations. Donations can be placed in the drop box at the front of the building. Donations include but are not limited to: dog/cat food, plastic grocery bags, blankets, plastic gloves, bedding, etc...Donations that cannot be directly used at NOAH will be sold at their garage sale. Proceeds from the garage sale go back into NOAH. NOAH also has an onsite pet store in which the proceeds go back into NOAH. All animal bedding is washed every single day. The walking trails are clean and amply supplied with donated plastic grocery poop bags. The carrier crates are disinfected after each use. NOAH takes pride in their services and they love their animals. I personally am thankful to have been educated on all the work NOAH does. Now that I am aware, my future free time and donations will be given to NOAH.

    My new babies, perfect beans and they love to snuggle

    Crystal was super friendly and helped me through the process of playing with the kittens and making sure I had all the right stuff for them, the process was awesome and exactly what I came in for!

    got my two babies here. the two ladies working that evening were very informative and we could tell the cats were well taken care of. it was understaffed when we went but they still made time for us and communicated the whole time. they were also separating the sick cats from the healthy ones and i appreciated their efforts in letting us know and keeping them safe. i would definitely recommend coming here, whether to adopt or just to look at the kitties :) there was info and documentation on each kitten, and even a small shop for those who didn't come prepared. they made sure to tell us the pros and cons of owning kittens and made sure we were thoroughly prepared before bringing them home. overall a very positive experience.

    We had just lost one of our most beloved cats and decided to rescue a kitten (or two) to help us move past the grief. It's something we've always done, and in the process we've shared our lives with over a dozen rescued cats in the last 30 years. NOAH staff are extremely efficient at their jobs, and there are lots of wonderful, adoptable animals at their shelter. About the only negative we saw: don't look for a lot of warm and fuzzy (other than from the animals) We figured that anyone lucky enough to work with animals all day would be over the moon about it, but everyone is different, and these folks are mostly all business. That said, we did meet two beautiful kittens, a brother and sister, and it was love at first sight. They're two of the sweetest and most affectionate kittens we've ever adopted, but unbeknownst to us, they both had upper respiratory infections (URI) that became evident once we brought them home. It cost us over $1000, three visits to the vet, and three different antibiotics before the disease began to alleviate. They're still sneezing, but it looks like they're past the worst of the URI. Unfortunately, the infection was also passed to our two adult cats, even though we kept the kittens separate, and washed our hands and all the dishes constantly in antibacterial soap. The folks at NOAH had warned us the kittens may have been exposed to a URI at the shelter, and were treated once already, but apparently they picked up a second, different URI before we adopted them. I'm sure NOAH didn't know this because the kittens were not symptomatic when we left. I notified NOAH of the situation, and they immediately refunded our adoption fee to help us cover some of the extra expense we'd incurred for the kittens once we got them home (and for our two adults when they picked up the virus). They did this without being asked and it was much appreciated. They also promised they would look at their screening and quarantine procedures to be sure this didn't happen to anyone else. For stepping up and being totally professional in the face of this challenge, we give them highest marks.

The front desk…read morestaff was really friendly and helpful -- they took their time and pointed me toward some sweet dogs that seemed like a good match. While I was there, I noticed a little pug and asked about her. They told me she wasn't available for adoption. I could see why -- her butt was prolapsed and there was liquid poop and blood all over her kennel. She was panting, whining, and frantically trying to get out. It was really upsetting to see. I spoke with the manager, who told me not to worry, that they had it under control and the dog was fine. I left feeling terrible. I came back a few days later and the poor pug was still in the same condition -- prolapse, bloody diarrhea, the whole thing. She still looked miserable. I'm really concerned that they don't have the animals' best interest at heart. A prolapsed rectum is painful, and there was clearly blood coming from her. I just don't understand how a person could look at that and think it's okay to leave her like that. This experience has me seriously questioning the level of care the animals are getting. I wanted to support the shelter, but I left feeling heartbroken and worried. I'm still looking to adopt a dog, but after this experience I don't feel confident adopting from here.

I don't want to waste more time, I went to a different shelter where people know how to run the business. I got the cat!

The rescue is fully run and operated by dedicated professionals, animal rescuers, and animal lovers.
