Spca

My partner & I adopted a dog and were lied to repeatedly. They said the dog had no issues and would not require obedience training. Long story short the dog did require training and ended up biting both of us. When we returned the dog we were told that our adoption fee would be refunded and mailed out the same day. Two weeks later we were still waiting and called to ask what was going on. We had budgeted to use that money to pay off bills. Turns out that they only mail their cheques at the end of the month and you are not allowed to just go and pick yours up instead. Two times that we were lied to.

This place is amazing for what they do. They have way more space than it looks like. They have five cat rooms, you’re only allowed to access two of them because the other rooms are «sick» rooms. They can’t fully control kitty sneezes in the main rooms but make sure you use hand sanitizer between touching each animal, it helps control the sneezes. I love that these guys do everything that they can to create awareness for abandoned animals.

I have been fortunate enough to participate in the Spay & Neuter Program with the Metro SPCA on a few occasions, and I cannot say enough good things about this organization. Staff members are friendly, efficient, and generous with their information. Each cat that I have had spayed/​neutered has been treated well, and the veterinary surgeon has done an excellent job on the surgeries — my cats healed quickly and did not experience any pain or complications.
I have never adopted an animal from the SPCA, and therefore I cannot comment on the adoption processes. I agree with Rosalyn in that the size of the building seems inadequate — it would be fantastic to see an expansion in the near future — but this cannot happen without support from the public.
Please take the time to donate to the SPCA; whether it is your time or money, the people who run this fantastic organization will be most appreciative.

5* for what they do for animals of the metro area.
2* for the size. I wish that they had the funding to expand or move. There is just not enough space for these animals.
Wish they could change the rules as to seeing the cats in the room. Allowing people to just open cages to pick up snuggle and hold cats is nice but also makes it hard to stop the spread of illness and can cause some confusion as to where they are supposed to go (kids opening cages and putting them in other ones) Granted its hard to keep track of this with so many people in there on weekends.
All that said the ladies who work and volunteer there are lovely! And very helpful!
