We found a beautiful and EXTREMELY loving orange tabby at bridle creek apts. Took him to the society to be checked. I wasn't thrilled with the lady who took him to be checked for a chip. Her attitude was very rude and I could tell she was clearly sick. She also carried him away by the neck which isn't how you handle any feline. So, I'm not saying the entire staff are bad and I understand being overwhelmed or frustrated. But if that's gonna impact how you handle animals or act around folk, you shouldn't be in this line of work. And that woman needs to be fired or get her act together. This cat is someone's lost pet so if you have any info call this facility

We just took down a sweet but very food-territorial cat, we called her Sweetpea on the paperwork. Please make sure she gets the upmost care and be very patient with her. She deserves love and a good thorough checkup

I dont know what all services they offer but they gave my friends new puppy his first set of shots at a greatly reduced fee & that was awesome! Also I know you can get a grocery bag of dog &cat food for free which helps alot of people.

For a couple months now my Son has been checking post of a beautiful girl Husky named Skye. He kept saying I'm going to call, but he didn't. We last Friday Dec 3 he did. He took his Boy to a meet and greet with Skye, (also a Husky). They were great. Per rules Skye would have to meet all animals. This being around 3.30, they close at 5.00. My Son rushed home grabbed me and my Husky girl. Skye was brought back out and all 3 kids did great a mini pack in the making.. the woman who was at the desk came out and ask if it was okay. She was just so happy that Skye was going to a forever home. 💙 One week later she is getting along with the family and her fur-family.. thank you
Skye is to the left, right , right

Most of the staff is miserable, rude, and condescending towards other people wanting to help the animals. Ive been told three different things from three different employees in the shelter about the process to take this cat home. Everyone has a different process and nobody is on the same page. You’d get better customer service from a brick wall. You’d think with all these reviews talking about their piss poor attitudes, obviously a long time issue, they would do something about it. Can only imagine how some of those animals are treated behind closed doors..

I had lost my little furry baby about a month and a half ago it was very devastating! My daughter and I were driving close by the Humane Society had not even thought about looking for another dog yet but something told me to go ahead and go look so by chance we did for another small dog. When we went inside Luanne met us she was so kind, patient, understanding, tell she cared about the animals very much and Ruth also helped us and you can tell she very much loves the animals! I came across Scrappy they showed him to me and it was instant love at first sight! He hadn’t been neutered yet but they let me take him home right then and there anyway and he and I fell in love and are a perfect fit for each other and we are so very happy together now it’s unbelievable!❤️🐶❤️Thank you so much everyone at the Humane Society that helped make this possible for Scrappy,now named Mikey and I!

I’m a student at Knox College and was very interested in adopting a dog. When we arrived the workers were rude and literally greeted us with “What do ya want?”. They barely opened the door and I essentially had to FORCE myself inside. I explained I was a college student and when we asked to see a dog we were denied and told to look at cats instead. The condition of the cat room is very dirty and looks miserable for the cats.

They then explained they do not adopt dogs to ANY college students because of previous bad experiences. I even came with a contract from my college which I signed stating that the dog would not be neglected or uncared for. I gave all of that to the “board”, the “board” consists of the two people who work there. I was obviously denied.

All an all, if you’re a college student DONT GO THERE, you will be turned away at the door. They will discriminate against you based on where you live and your age. The people there are rude and so very unfriendly. It’s very unprofessional and not a welcoming place to be.
