Testimonials
My daughter's Girl Scout group made blankets for the animals and they allowed the girls to come in and meet some of the rescues. They all had a great tine and the staff was very friendly.
Everyone I encountered was very friendly. I drove from the east side of Columbus to adopt my handsome boy. I would happily make the drive again based on my interactions with staff.
