We adopted my very best friend from here 13 years ago. When we went to meet him the first time he was sick and being cared for at one of the employee's homes. We came back to meet him when he was well and just knew that he belonged with us. They took excellent care of him while he was there and allowed us the space to meet and greet with him. He passed away at 17 years old last month. I will never be able to replace him and am grateful for Columbia's role in placing him with us.

Was looking to adopt one of the amazing animals. Emailed the paperwork and the person who responded was really rude and unprofessional. They proceeded to tell me that the dog wouldn’t do well with cats but didn’t say anything about that in his details of the adoption page. This person was incredibly rude and unprofessional. This person also said that the neighborhood where I live I’m not Allowed to have another dog and not allowed to have outdoor cats. If I wanted to ask this person whether I’m allowed to have another dog or outdoor cats I would’ve talked to the managers of my establishment. Other than that I don’t really this was appropriate for this person to say any of this. Just trying to help and give a dog a needed loving home.

The Staff was very rude. I could hear dogs barking sadly. They have dogs sleeping on cement outside. They refuse to have volunteers. Which is so sad :(. I saw the cats had no food and water at one point. They do not have a current website!

I agree with some of the previous reviews, they're rude and condescending. talked to me like we didn't know anything about dogs. Absolutely nowhere on the website or in the application does it say they will not allow you to adopt a male dog if you have a male dog no matter the age. Absolutely nowhere on the website or application does it say they only allow adoptions of small dogs if you rent. There are many other shelters and rescues around the state to adopt from. Call around and and educate yourself about the people and the rescues.

coming from someone who WORKS at a humane society, and sees the way our front desk staff talk to strangers, compared to st. helens is actually crazy, i call about a cat of mine and i tell the lady what’s going on, she immediately tells me to put her down, not nicely either, put her down? is the way she said it, learn some compassion and grow some heart if you’re going to be working with living animals, it’s not that hard to show a little bit of care :)

Person was extremely rude, argumentative and condescending on the phone. Tried to "require" that my indoor only, female cat get fixed before they would accept my kittens, even though the male was already fixed.

Whoever works here is extremely rude! We submitted an application to adopt one of the young pups. Some how I received an application from another adopter and they received mine. I also received an email from the shelter that they tried to call and then instantly another saying that was not for me, then before I could respond got a call. I informed her of the application mix up and she demanded the name. She was very rude. She then informed me that we were not suitable because we have a male dog and I asked for clarification, not being rude just to understand if it was aggression or another reason! Her response and tone of voice were extremely disrespectful as if I had just offended her. Then she went on to explain that because this dog was large breed, Great Dane, and I have a 2 year old he could not be placed with us. I totally understand in some situations this is true. He is a puppy still and we have the training and experience for this breed. I then said ok that’s fine! But we currently have two Great Danes and they do wonderful with our daughter. Her entire attitude was unacceptable. She then proceeded to argue with me that large dogs shouldn’t be in families with small children and that they have had them returned for this in the past…. That is 100% the fault of the shelter and adopter. The shelter for allowing a dog that size to go to a family with no large breed dog experience and not aware that large dogs can knock over small kids. The family for not doing their research regarding large dogs and small kids.Overall I regret submitting my application to a shelter who is not willing to be professional with others. I simply was confused how my personal information got released to another adopter. She didn’t need to be out of line.
