Ukiah Animal Shelter

"I stopped by there, which turned out to be a miscommunication.I spoke to someone at the clinic not the shelter. But when I knocked the woman was pretty rude and looked at me crazy or like I was weird for even coming by or talking to her. She did tell me it was for somewhere else. Usually people that work at animal places are a lil nicer tho."

"Every one who works or volunteers here cares deeply about animals. I foster kittens for them and get all the support and supplies I could wish for. Spayed and neuter your pets, people!!"

"My boyfriend and I went by to try and find a dog to adopt, and we’re told they do not allow viewing the dogs in person, and if we wanted to see them we’d have to schedule an appointment online to meet just one. It seems impossible to make a connection with a dog just by seeing a photo online. When we voiced this, the person up front told us we wouldn’t be able to tell their temperament in person anyways because the shelter is too loud. This seems very counterproductive, and feels like it discourages adoption."

"We got the best dog from here. We're so lucky to have found her. Staff was very kind too, made sure she was a good fit for our other dog. Her name was Sprout when we got her. She goes by Belle now."

"This is a great place to volunteer. They are very flexible. After a simple orientation, you can drop in when you are available to walk dogs or interact with cats. There are many different ways to help. Would you like a hiking buddy? You can make a quick stop at the shelter and pick up a pup to take with you. Would you like the companionship of a pet but can't commit to having one full time? Stop by the shelter and bring a fur baby home for the weekend. The staff make it easy to help in any capacity. Pictured here is Marty, a very sweet and handsome boy we had over the weekend. If you're looking to cuddle, he's your man."
