Testimonials
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.
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.
