Old Drum Animal Shelter

"We had the best experience at Old Drum Animal Shelter. We found a puppy on Petfinder and called the shelter to ask about her. They put a hold on her and called us back when they said they would after she had been spayed. They were all friendly, helpful and accomodating, as we had an hour drive to get there. They seemed to know all of the dogs well and gave us great information about the puppy we adopted. When we left we had dog toys, a sweater, and a few days worth of dog food. We absolutely love our Lily (formerly Kool Aid, lol)."

"I have volunteered here a few times and the people there are so nice and would politely point you in the direction you need. The animals are well cared for and the kennels and cages are cleaned plenty. The animals seem happy and the cats love to play!"

"This shelter has given me the life time of an experience. The staff is beyond friendly and so much more, the story of me and the dog I adopted ( Goose) is beyond unique now. He has filled the hole where I thought nothing could, I made multiple visits while waiting to adopt him hoping and praying he would be mine. The staff stayed in contact with me all throughout this process and made it thee most memorable experience I will ever have. Huge shoutout to them and I will always go to them if I ever need anything and will send my friends and family their way to adopt their forever fur babies. Thank you so much for being apart of mine and Gooses adventure."

"I picked up Evie Galore, agent 009 from the Old Drum Animal shelter almost a month ago. First, I travelled some distance to meet Evie specifically and the staff (Molly in particular) helped keep me posted on Evie’s availability so I could ideally meet Evie. Now you can’t put a hold on a pet which makes sense because what happens then if a forever home is turned away and then you get there and realize it’s not the match you had hoped for…it’s not fair to the animal. I CANNOT say enough good things about my experience, all of which I attribute to the staff and their dedication to the animals. Evie is a bobtail Manx which was a quality I was super interested in, however it’s her personality and playfulness that melts my heart everyday and I am a first time Cat parent. I’ve had dogs up to this point in my life. Please consider adopting from this shelter. All shelters across the US are filling up with pandemic pets. Pets being abandoned now that humans go back to their busy lives. Evie gives the most awesome head butts and welcomes me when I come back to the apartment. She has to be in the same room I am ALL THE TIME. Our match is a perfect one and the staff at Old Drum certainly made that easy. Thanks to the staff for a match that could NOT have been any less ideal."
