Pros: Not a single one to list

Cons: Animals are neglected and euthanized within days, RUDE staff

I would not bring a goldfish to this shelter. I have has several experiences with this shelter and am horrified with this place. I once called about an animal being abused in our neighborhood. They told me that no one comes to pick up animals and that I should just ignore the situation. Then she informed me that the dog would be euthanized within 3 days if no one came to adopt it.
On another occasion I went to look for an animal that was missing in our area. When I got there I saw a dead puppy laying with it's living litter mates and mother. The woman who runs it (this may have changed) came out of the building and began screaming at me that I needed to leave because they were closed for the day. When I began to tell her that she needed to check on the puppy, she became even more irate and chased me to my van. Me and my husband went to the judge with this information and were told that she was a family friend and we needed to cut her some slack since she had a rough home life. Thankfully, he is no longer the judge.
Someone needs to step in and do something about this place! People out here just think animals are feelingless and disposable, this includes the "shelter" workers.

UPDATE:
I am happy to report that this shelter has made a complete turn around! With new staff, this shelter can now be called "a shelter". This shelter used to mean certain death to any animal that wasn't claimed within a few days. Now, animals are adopted out and only aggressive or gravely injured animals are put down. I could not be more happy with this news. I have avoided this shelter since my last experience. Now, I cannot wait to get down there and try to volunteer with my children. Our community desperately needed someone to take over and do something about this shelter. I am so happy it finally happened!!!
