“I have had nothing but positive experiences with Elmore SPCA and I think it’s important for people to understand how animal shelters actually operate before placing blame on them for every medical or behavioral issue that may arise after adoption. Shelters like Elmore SPCA are not full service veterinary hospitals with specialists on staff performing extensive genetic testing or advanced diagnostics on every animal that comes through their doors. They rely heavily on the information provided by previous owners, surrender paperwork, foster observations, and outside veterinary clinics. Unfortunately, many surrendered animals come in with incomplete histories, undisclosed medical conditions, or behavioral issues that simply are not immediately apparent in a shelter environment. I have personally seen the shelter go above and beyond to make sure animals receive the medical care, treatment, and proper placement when concerns are discovered. If an issue becomes known while an animal is in their care, they address it. But expecting a shelter to somehow predict every congenital disorder, future illness, or hidden behavioral issue, especially in animals that may have only been there briefly, is simply unrealistic. As for breed identification, even veterinarians and DNA tests can differ on mixes, especially in puppies. Most shelters make their best educated guess based on appearance and available information. That is standard practice across the country. At the end of the day, adopting an animal always comes with some level of unknown, whether from a shelter, rescue, or even a breeder. That does not mean the shelter is being dishonest. It means they are working with the information they have while trying to save as many animals as possible. The staff and volunteers at Elmore SPCA genuinely care about these animals and work incredibly hard with limited resources. I would absolutely recommend adopting from them and appreciate everything they do for the community and the animals in their care.”

“I called in for a specific meal for my frenchie and the gals who helped me on the phone was so lovely. The layout of the shop is so welcoming to walk around with my 4yr old pup. The help was fantastic! Better than any chain store. They reaffirmed why I love to shop local. Thank you ladies! Groot and I will surely be regulars.”

“We’ve been working with Jasmine to train our adopted puppy and she is amazing. She is so knowledgeable and kind and patient. I really can’t say enough about our experience. We will continue through more training programs at Petsmart because of her. So grateful for her. Highly recommend.”
