Angels for Animals

I have had such a great experience with this shelter I recently adopted my kitten from there well my fiancé did for Valentine’s Day but he brought me with to pick the kitten out of course. Some may think the adoption fee is high at 100 $ for a kitten but it is well worth it if you think about all they do for the animal, the cats/​kittens are microchipped, spayed, up to date on all their shots and they have been tested for many different diseases and issues. I also like the way they have the dog wing set up, they have it set up so they don’t have to be inside all day, the dogs have a door in their kennel to let them go outside when they feel like it. Keith was awesome (cat adoption manager) he lead me to visit the kitten i adopted, and the kitten is perfectly healthy, I would recommend to anyone looking to adopt an animal everyone I came in contact with that day was as helpful as nice.

My experience with Angels for Animals was not enjoyable. I had my puppy neutered there, and when I first walked in the young girl working at the desk was rude to the customers waiting to drop off their dogs. About a week after my dog had recovered from his surgery he developed Kennel Cough. He had his Bordetella vaccination in April, but the bacteria was still in the shelter while he was recovering after his surgery.
These things happen, but I wanted to call and let the shelter know my dog had been sick from their facility to help ensure the safety of all other dogs. The girl who talked to me informed me there was no way he got Kennel Cough from their facility (my dog spent the entire week and a half in the house recovering with no exposure to other dogs). She also told me it was my fault he got it, because you are supposed to get those vaccinations every 6 months, which he had. If they would have just apologized for him getting sick and said we will definitely talk about this issue, I would have been fine. Instead, they placed blame on ME.
If you think you will save money getting your pet fixed here, factor in vet bills and antibiotics with that (hint, it’s MORE than going to a vet).
I know they are a non-​profit, but you can’t treat your patrons that way. PERIOD. I will never go back to Angels for Animals.

I really support and love this place. If you’re shopping for a little furry friend, I always think shelters are the way to go (here!!).
Right around when I got my kitten in May, my parents adopted a puppy here. When they came, they weren’t looking for a wild crazy puppy, they just wanted to save a dog, so when the staff told them that their dog was almost 2, it seemed like a good idea. Upon looking at his teeth and experiencing his wild behavior, their new puppy was definitely still a puppy, though a big one. Of course, now he’s calming a little bit and becoming a well rounded dog. It’s always rewarding to adopt a pet in need of a home; they always seem so thankful for your kindness! Just be sure to do some reading before you come here so you can predict a better life timeline for your pup or kitten – my parents have had many a pet, so they knew that he wasn’t misbehaving out of spite or a bad temper, he was simply WAY younger than they were told.
So, since my parents had success, I wanted to check this place out for myself, but not to adopt. A friend found my kitten mewing in some bushes in a field, so I already had that component, now I needed some of her «components» removed. I took little Caper to get «fixed» in September and it was a pretty quick and easy process for us all, though she was a little mad and drugged for a couple of days. I didn’t have any problems with the service, staff or healing process.
Pros:
–The service is cheap. Being a recent grad, I didn’t have the money to spend on pricey procedures.
–You are supporting a loving shelter and everyone clearly loves animals here.
–It’s reliable as far as I can tell. Though my kitten was a little loopy for longer than I expected, there were no complications and everything turned out great!
Cons:
–It’s BUSY here. I waited almost an hour to pick my kitty up and my mom probably waited around the same amount of time to drop her off. By the time I left, my blood sugar was in the basement and I hated to make any extra stops with my kitty in the car, but I needed a candy bar or I wouldn’t be able to drive us all the way back to Cleveland! Bring a snack if you’re picking up – many others complained of hunger while we were waiting too!
–For me, it was far away, but that was a choice I made on my own and it was totally worth it.
