Went for Santa Paws pics. Great opportunity for dogs and pet owners to socialize. Santa was friendly and great with our puppy! The event allowed you to make paw print ornaments and even had doggie biscuits and cream! We did not find the staff friendly or welcoming.

Extremely friendly staff and very clean facility! The staff was so honest they even let us know that our kitten "Boots" has a slight mental disability before we took him home. We couldn't be happier with the newest addition to our family! Thank you all for the amazing job you do to make sure forever homes are found❤️

I have never been treated so horribly. I came in prepared to pay and have only recently moved here. When I found a kitten I wanted I was told it still needed rabies shots and couldn't be done until Monday. I was told Monday they would call me when I could pick up debutante and when I got back to my car I received an email denying my application. Highly unprofessional and judgemental.

They were really busy, but we had a great experience and adopted a couple kittens.

We adopted Rosemary almost two weeks ago! We had a great experience with HSAC! We went to meet some kittens, and I briefly explained what we were looking for, and as soon as we met miss Rosemary we knew she was the one! We came back a few days later to pick her up and they sent us home with a bag full of food and toys! Rosemary made herself right at home and is exactly what we were looking for, we are so happy to have her as a part of our family!

Public intake shelter devoted to placing as many adoptable animals as possible. These are devoted animal lovers who advocate for the animals in the county. I work with them through rescue and can't speak highly enough of their commitment to the animals.

Adopted Snow White yesterday!Found her on petfinder and fairly quickly put in an application. We didn't get a call or follow-up from them, so make sure to be proactive on that front.Walking in, the staff was very friendly. We took our time playing with Snow White (and some of the other kitties in the room) and made sure it was a fit. Pets seemed friendly, well cared for, and most of them were excited for play. They sent us home with a bag full of toys, food, and treats, and they gave us a towel and a blanket for her carrier!She's still adjusting to the new environment of course, but nonetheless likes her brush and wants nothing more than to cozy up against the nearest person. Will certainly donate to this shelter in the future. Thanks for all that you do!

Tried to adopt a cat from them at petsense, I was looking for an ESA for my ADHD. I visited Beta and hung out wit him for two hours and felt a connection. Beta was a perfect fit and they said the other applicant had not shown up and I was allowed to put an application in. Never got a call, so I called petsense and they said that the other applicant picked him up late and that they tried to tell them that someone else had put an application in for him. They didn’t care and took him despite petsense trying to fight it. Petsense did not know that the other people had until Friday to get him. Amherst humane society was supposed to give me a courtesy call, but failed to do so. Beta would have been a perfect ESA cat, but the search continues and not in Amherst. Petsense has helped me with further shelter suggestions. Petsense is not happy at all about the situation. Also Amherst doesn’t answer their phone either. Try Bedford humane society or even the central Virginia animal rescue.

Came out for the low cost shot clinic. It filled up fast, definitely a great service should be done more often!! Would be nice if they'd update to take cards too. But, got all my critters hooked up with shots, I was very early so I got out quick, if you come out to the next one, be early!! It's definitely worth it to protect your fur kids!!!
