Union County Animal Shelter

"I would give zero stars if I could. Animal control in its name states controlling animals. My neighborhood has a huge stray cat problem. They do nothing about it. They allowed me to get a cage, one officer, said I could keep it as long as I was bringing in cats. I was, I took him up to about 20 to 30 cats. One day I got a call from another officer that stated I could only have the cage for a week. And that I needed to bring it back now. I told him that due to their location I was not making that drive without having a cat in the cage. They came and got the cage and banned me from getting cages again. Now, one of the stray cats has been attacked by a dog. They want to come shoot the cat in my yard and have me dig a hole to bury him. I said I didn’t want them to do that especially in front of my family. Response from officer was he didn’t care. I also told him I am slightly disabled and can’t dig an hole, his response was it wasn’t his problem. Absolutely ridiculous. This division needs to be shut down as it is absolutely useless."

"Fast, friendly service. Easy to locate, smooth, handoff process. I constantly see stray cats wandering the woods behind my apartment building. I was able to catch a young tabby kitten last night before going to work. She was very friendly, no hissing scratching or biting. But she would not eat, and probably requires medical attention. I would have loved to keep her, but my family already has two dogs, and two small children. I contacted Union County animal services and they said I could bring her at any time before 5 PM. The staff shows compassion for the animals in their care. I hope they can help her recover and get adopted. Thank you for your service.!"

"I hate that people come out to my area and drop off dogs and cats. Well a cat showed up very affectionate we considered keeping him but something attacked him and we don’t have the means to care for him. Thankfully the animal shelter took him. They said they could help him. I hope he makes someone very happy. I affectionately called him squeaker. The only thing I don’t like about the animal shelter is the website says they are open on Saturday but the only part open was the adoption side."

"We got our kitten, Scottie, a stray, last week and is a wonderful addition to our family. Thank you Union County Animal Services for our kitten. He’s a climber, loves playing, cuddling, eating and sleeping. We are in love. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a nice pet."
