Just defund them, they do little to nothing for the animals anyway

Seems like they try really hard to save all they can. Molly Jennings and ACO Hodges were patient and answered my questions that I had. Seems like one of the better shelters that I've dealt with.

I was told they weren’t comfortable giving me a cat because of my previous one running away. What they didn’t know is that it was my son’s father’s cat, before he was murdered last year in Roanoke City. They said because I trained him to be both( cat owner didn’t want him neutered) indoor and outdoor then him running away made them concerned.
How would you feel if you had and owner and then he disappeared? My cat was depressed. One day he never came home again.
I never wanted that to happen again because my son was already going through a hard time losing his father.
I ended up adopting my spayed female cat. I planned on spaying this new one since she was going to be mine too.
I just feel sad. I can provide an amazing home and life for the baby and was denied. Losing my cat was already detrimental to the family. Being told that’s why they won’t give you a cat just breaks my heart more.
Months of looking at 4am till the sun came up. For my baby. Putting up flyers. Just wow.

I went to the shelter looking to adopt either a cat or a dog, I've been wanting a forever friend for quite some time and I couldn't wait any longer. They were very friendly and helpful and let me take my time. I was able to find a cat I thought would fit and adopted her and now she's my little buddy. Thank you for your help and all that you do.

This shelter required exclusively curbside appointments to come and see adoptable pets. My wife and I scheduled an appointment to come and see a specific dog we wanted to adopt, took time away from work to do so, and made arrangements to be able to take the dog that day, only to be informed that the dog had been adopted two hours before our scheduled appointment time. If you are going to require appointments and schedule multiple appointments for the same dog on the same day, you should at least inform the holders of the later appointments that the earlier ones are taking place. It was very upsetting to be informed in this manner that we had gone to such lengths for absolutely nothing.

The staff is wonderful and we absolutely love our new kitty. We named her Pepper. She is so sweet and and lovable. We are so happy that we could give her a loving home. I wish we could adopt more.

Please come and help. If not here then go to your local shelter. If your child needs volunteer credit for college applications take them to your local shelter. Put in the good work. Every day more and more animals are brought in to the shelter. Anything you can do to help makes a difference.

A few months ago I lost my little man of 17 years. Felt ready to adopt. Sent out the message with three requirements. Small to medium size, female and child friendly for the grandchildren. We are retired and home most of the time, looking for a house baby.They sent back a response the same day. We think we have the perfect match. Set up an appointment for the next day. They were right. We are one month into our adoption and love Molly. She is a perfect match.

Amazing and well maintained dog park! Headed to TN for a road trip with our Belgian Malinois and we were lucky enough to stumble across this place. Only a few miles off 81 and definitely worth the stop. Half a dozen dogs of all sizes and wonderful people. Highly recommend!

I love this dog park! I stop here on my drive from NC to Northern VA, and it's such a big park so my dogs get plenty of room to run and let some steam off. Everyone there has always been so nice to me!

My husband and I have lived here for a year now and I cannot believe that it took us that long to visit this dog park. It has two areas (small and big) with secure gates so no pups are able to escape (two gate entrance). Most of the area is covered with wood chips but there is an area of Bermuda grass. There's also a few concrete tunnels, a small obstacle, benches, shaded area, a proper refillable water dish and a hose (love that even though our dog isn't a fan--great for water loving pups and cleaning off muddy paws). There were a few people with their fur babies and everybody was so nice and kept a watchful eye on their dogs. The entire place was free of poop (there are poop bags and proper can for waste). They do ask that no treats or toys are brought into the park so maybe not a great place to play fetch but that wasn't an issue for us. We can't wait to go back.

Great dog park. Stopped here with our lab while traveling down 81. Just a short way off the highway and it is such a well maintained dog park. There are large areas for each of small and large dogs, a pavilion for shade, and a wood chips covering on the ground so no mud. Poop bags and water available.
