I received my greatest gift! My love Guinness! I didn’t like that we couldn’t book an appointment to see him first - it was first come, first serve and we almost didn’t get him! That was nerve racking! But he had all his shots and was neutered (even though we were told he was way too young to receive all that at the same time) he was 3 months receiving all that. He’s a great dog though and the staff was great and helpful!
Well run by experienced animal people. The trainers know the animals and do their best to match you with a forever pet.
Great place with awesome volunteers. Got my dog here who had been brought up from a shelter in South Carolina. If I trusted myself enough to not bring home every single dog here I would definitely volunteer
The SPCA's Simpson Clinic is a fabulous place to bring your pet for well-care. They are professional, caring and dedicated to helping pets stay healthy. I just brought my two new kittens there for a checkup and initial vaccinations.
Some of the volunteer staff can be rude but overall, fairly helpful. Many animals looking for their "forever home." Please consider adopting from this no-kill shelter!
Worst place ever money hungry, conflicting information, sort of like a car dealer do not trust them, don't believe anything they say. Watch out when they start offering services,
They will have you come in them hold your pet hostage trying to sell you additional services over the phone. Waste of time. Hope this helps I spend enough time and money on this dishonest place.
Tout themselves as a "no-kill" shelter. WHAT A LIE! I brought in a lost cat the other day, called them up less than a week later to check up on it to see if they had found the owner and they had already euthanized it, because it had "too many seizures" - are you kidding me??! This could've been somebody's cat and you take it upon yourself to do that??? I had originally told my husband we would wait maybe 3 weeks and take the cat in if the owners were never found. They obviously couldn't wait as they killed her within days. Deceiving crooks, that's what they are!! I wish I would've looked at the reviews before bringing the poor cat there, would've kept it instead!!!
After viewing a family trying to see a dog for adoption they were treated rude by a staff member in the cat building.. Then the Trainer for the dog I saw was extremely rude and unprofessional.. Did not even formally introduced herself and yet started to ask me questions of my lifestyle, in which I understand for the adoption process. Not once did I even know her name and just because "bill" changed the policy to see the dogs for adoption quickly (that the trainer knew nothing of) started to unprofessionally talk down to the blue shirt staff on "why Is he here seeing the dog on a leash outside the cage" Not returning for an adoption and I will warn others of this location. I do apologize but no thank you
I had been looking to adopt a cat for a while, but it seems like every rescue I contacted around NYC either ignored me or found a reason in which the animal wouldn't be a good fit for my home. So I decided in a last attempt to adopt to go up to Westchester, and the decision was super worth it. As soon as we got out of the car a greeter came up to us and asked if we needed assistance, we let her know we were interested in adopting a cat. She led us to the cat house, then had us fill out an adoption form. From that point we were allowed to meet any of the cats as long as we sanitized our hands first. We absolutely fell in love with a Himalayan named "Monique".
To adopt her we let one of the volunteers know we were interested in her, and then we went to the front office to have our application approved. They called my reference not even 5 minutes after I handed the front desk my application and I was approved after giving a copy of my lease.
After that I just had to walk back to the cat house and give my approved application. They then handed me everything I needed for the journey back to the city: a soft cat carrier and a ton of cat food. I left very happy and felt well informed leaving the SPCA.
We adopted our puppy from this spca. We found them to be very caring for all of the animals on site. They take the application process seriously as well which I think is a very good thing. The staff were friendly. We couldn't be happier with our puppy that we brought home that day! He needed a loving home and we truly gave him that! Thank you for helping animals in need SPCA!
Great experience-they were very organized. A lady with a clipboard met me at my car. I was in the "cat building" and it was spotless. They were very diligent about making sure I used disinfectant on my hands in between touching each cat. I was very impressed and would definitely return.
We adopted a 2 year old cat from the Briarcliff SPCA and had a WONDERFUL experience. The folks there guided me through the process and answered my every question as a first time pet owner. Our new family member is as sweet as can be and has filled our hearts (I have two kids who were desperate for a pet) with love. She is social and cuddly and we are so happy that we adopted her and the SPCA was wonderful. They followed up with us to check on how things were going and were always ready to help.
