Claiborne Animal Shelter

"Wonderful place, doing a great work with dogs and cats. Don't get a puppy/kitten from a puppy mill, adopt a dog/cat that will be a wonderful companion and family member. ❤️"

"Very nice people and a clean place as well. Just took my sweet cat kiki to be surrendered.. it broke my heart that I couldn't keep her but the ladies working here reassured me that she would fit right in and that she'll be well took care of. I miss her already. Coming here and speaking with the nice ladies made me feel like I made the right decision bringing kiki here."

"I took my dog to the Claiborne Animal Shelter to be fixed. That day we were expecting a snow storm and the vet tech informed me that they may close early so they were going to try to get the animals fixed quickly. I gave her my work phone number and told her to just call me when they were finished. They called me not even an hour later and told me that my girl was “too aggressive” that I needed to come pick her up. They said she was nipping at staff, growling and showing teeth. I left work and when I got there, they were too afraid to get her out of the kennel so they took me back there with them and she was so out of it she couldn’t even walk, I had to CARRY my girl out of there! They had already given her medication to sedate her and I couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t go ahead and do the procedure. I took her to Rowland’s Veterinary to be fixed a couple weeks later (today as a matter of fact) and told them what happened and that I wanted to know if she was aggressive or not. When I picked her up, they told me she was “an angel”. No aggression whatsoever and her tail was wagging anytime they got close to her. I think that the shelter just wanted to go home early and lied to me. I had to leave work and was concerned my dog was showing traits I was unaware of, but no, my girl is sweet as can be and now she has care from somewhere who actually puts animals first. This picture is from the day we left the animal shelter, she was so drugged up, like I said, she couldn’t even walk out of there. Just please consider another place to take care of your pet, somewhere that actually cares."

"They made the adoption of our Pyrenees pup such a smooth transition! She had all her shots, vaccinations and worms AND she was spayed!! Super easy and extremely friendly staff!!"
