Safe Place For Animals

This is the most unprofessional place I have ever had to deal with. I applied to adopt a puppy, they also let six other people apply for that one. They never once called to tell us anything. But when I called all she could do is apologize for pickup by another family. I called numerous times just to check on the progress of the application, they just don’t seem to review the applications at all. This place is absolute joke. They make you feel like a criminal for trying to adopt an animal.

Great pricing, friendly staff! Double check their address. The one on Unilocal is incorrect and they are moving to a new location soon.

When you adopt a puppy from a shelter, you assume your adopting a healthy puppy that can be around your other animals. We adopted a puppy from SPA recently and paid the regular adoption fee of $ 160 and have paid on top of that an additional $ 260 dollars for her to be a healthy puppy. Not to mention now having to have parasite screenings on our other dog. After contacting the shelter, the response I got was «she’s only had her one wormer». I understand that, but during the first day of having her home, we knew she had worms from looking at her poop and they were tapeworms, so they were just falling out of her anus. she end up having 4 different parasites. The dog in the cage below her had a sign that said «do not touch, sick dog.» I hope these animals are getting the health attention they need. We rescued our first pup and never had these problems. I’m glad we have her now and can make her a healthy dog.

SPA (Safe Place for Animals) is a trifecta of animal love. It is a combo no-​kill shelter/​affordable and friendly veterinarian office/​thrift store (all profits benefit the shelter).
My mom took me to «visit the animals» and warned me that I would have a hard time not bringing one home. Well… she was right. I had to resist, but I was *this close* to be adopted by one of the sweetest, ugliest cats I’ve ever encountered. I kind of cried when I was holding her.
The folks that SPA are very friendly and obviously put a lot of love in the place. That is evident with the super tidy and spacious cat rooms and dog kennels.
I’m not quite ready to bring home a sibling for my cat… but when I am, I will most definitely return to SPA.

Not only can you find a perfect furry companion (please don’t buy from back yard breeders, and pet stores) Safe Place for Animals offers a thrift store, grooming services, and now extremely affordable vet services. At this time, they offer wellness checks, and are able to give shots/​worm/​heart meds. The Vet only works three/​four days a week, but if more people use this service, then she may be able to move to SPA full-​time. Not only that, but if more patrons use these services, it will help accumulate the funds needed to buy the necessary equipment for more intrusive medical needs.
Last week my German Shepherd was limping, we took her in, and found out that she had broken a toe. While there, we also updated her shots. The Vet was awesome. She was attentive, down-​to-​earth, caring and you could see the compassion and love she had for my dog. The entire check-​up (body check, two shots, meds), came to about $ 50.00. All of which go straight back into the rescue organization. My old vet charged $ 77-​just for walking in the door.
If you don’t mind the smell, and sounds of the many furry friends who want to come home with you (and perhaps you will adopt another one while you’re there) give it a try and support these poor little animals.
I forgot to mention that I also checked out the books while we waited for our appointment, and bought two books for my daughter. They were «buy one get one free». I payed around1.00 for both. Not too shabby.
