Southside Animal Shelter

This shelter really specializes in personality matching their animals to homes. We have three dogs and each time I had specific requests on what personality we wanted in the pet. Be honest with your needs and you will definitely get the best match for you.

We were informed that we would never have an approved application because our previous dog did not have established veterinarian care. Our prior dog lived a great, long, healthy life (a rescue!) and did not ever have a need for vet care. He was, of course, taken to the vet when needed (he had an ear infection one time), but it sounds like this wouldn’t suffice. I understand the need to be thorough and make sure animals get into good homes, but we were shocked that our application would never be approved based on this.

Donna and Amy were very genuine and easy-going to deal with at the greenwood petsmart! There was an ad posted on their Facebook of adorable kittens that It seemed too good to be true!! Went up there the next day and met Donna, happily answered all my questions and felt so easy to talk to and very nice!! Filled out the form and then talked to Amy the next day after getting approved and got the kitten the next day!!! I am writing this as I have my new kitten on my chest sleeping and my heart is in love!! Would highly recommend to anybody looking to adopt, friends, and family!! If I could leave 10 stars I would!! Thank you so much guys you rocked!

Unless you have stellar vet history and plan to never let your cats outside then this place will deem you unfit to adopt any of their pets. We have always had cats who live inside & out. They live happy healthy lives. Sure there's a few more instances where the vet was needed but we can afford it and they're so much happier it's worth it. We didn't raise our child in a bubble so why should cats have to live in one as well. 99.5% of cats will stick close to home and choose to be inside more time than not. In 30years we've only had one go missing and that's because we moved and after a year we believe he chased a cat off and got turned around in the neighborhoods. We still have hope that a vet will scan his chip. If you still want to bother with this place don't bother if you can't prove impeccable vet history either. Like humans, I don't believe our pets should have ALL the vaccines ALL the time. Thats not a "wrong" choice. But this place has deemed that so. It's an unpopular choice, not a wrong one. Basically they are inflexible, judgemental and have no faith in human kind unless they follow their exact rules. It's just sad really. So many animals need loving homes yet this place has decided for everyone what exactly a "loving home" should be. I have to really wonder if they'd even adopt out a pet if they're political views didn't line up. That's how closed minded I believe them to be. Absolutely ridiculous!

We found our newest addition here! The staff are very friendly! They do a great job of making sure your new fur baby is ready to go before you take them home! Great experience.

I adopted a new puppy from here. He was chipped, neutered and had good medical care. I recommend checking them out!
