Testimonials
Very nice people. They are taking care of over a hundred cats and dogs. If you are considering getting a pet, please go and see all the adoptable cats and dogs they have.
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.
