Upland Animal Shelter

A very nice shelter that provides many opportunities to adopt pets at a low cost. They are very knowledgeable on the animals they have available and put out announcements on their social media if they believe they have found a lost pet. Meeting rooms are nice, spacious, and clean. Kennels and cages are clean and well attended to. Pets available all have beds and blankets. Pets go on daily walks and receive affection from staff and volunteers. They give you an adoption kit with every pet you adopt that includes a free bag of food from Cozy Pet Supplies up the street and a very generous $25 voucher for their second hand shop nearby. Doggy chew, 2 blankets, bandana, and medical history if available of the pet was given to me. All included in the cost of the adoption fee. They have very very nice pet beds also available for only $10. Most stores sell them for a minimum of $25+ for the same size! A wonderful shelter to find your new best friend! I know I have found two of my best friends from this shelter as well as one escapee who went on an adventure and got lost for one night. We picked her up the next day. They give you their "mugshot" photo when you go claim them. Very funny and cute! Makes for a great memory keepsake.

I've read the reviews, and I must admit that I don't agree with the unfavorable ones. I don't know where they are coming from, but based on my countless interactions with them, I can only speak highly of this location. I have adopted 2 dogs from them and they are very happy. Although adopting an animal takes a little while, I understand that it is necessary for the animals' safety. The staff is really kind and helpful. They genuinely care about the animals' welfare and ensure that they are placed in a loving home. They also operate a no-kill shelter, which I much respect.

I adopted a kitty on May 15 2022 and he is adorable he brought so much joy to my family we love him so much.

I am very upset with this place!!! our family decided to adopt 2 kittens 12/17/22, shelter have me signed a waiver for us to take them home same day and take them to the animal hospital to get neutered 5 days after. Well we took them home gave them love, got them all necessaries. A few days later we take them to the vet, after picking them up, “vet”. foster mom tells me they have ringworm and we need to treat them, she currently has more kittens with her and they are getting treatment for ringworm, she said “ be careful because kids can get it” as is very contagious to humans, honestly I am very upset how Can the shelter give us SICK PETS with out our consent? They could have said something and it was going to be our decision to adopt them or no. I can not take kittens back as my kids would cry endlessly for them, I’m scared for my kids to get infected, I need to buy treatment, medications, especial shampoo, treat them 2-3 times per day, take specific care of them, make sure my kids don’t touch them, disinfect all my house, keep kittens in quarantine and work my 40+ hour job all because SHELTER’D negligence. It is way to much for me, very stressful, extremely sad for poor kittens not to mention my kids are not able to give them love as they are in a cadge that of course I had to buy. A LOT of money over spend, I wished they would had called me right when they find out, how are the other cata already getting treatment? She said the other kittens already got adopted, contradicting her self because “they treat all sick pets” makes NO SENSE!!!! PLEASE CHECK ALL ANIMALS, if they are sick let family know for them to decide if is something they can take or afford.

My daughter and I had to come here to take her dog because our family is about to lose our home and we have no way to care for Buddy. Habitat for Humanity are selling my home right out from under us because my mom died. So now our poor dog has no place to go. We can't care for him with my daughter being pregnant and not knowing where we are going to live. And they wouldn't take him here. And there are no shelters taking any animals at this time. So what am I supposed to do now? They make these laws about owning a pet but they don't even enforce them. So I guess it's no longer necessary to give your pets vaccination shots because they no longer care. And you no longer have to get your pets fixed because they don't knock on your doors to check anymore either. I'm not happy with any of these government funded organizations right now.

i adopted my cat from here almost a year ago and they were always so nice! Never felt uncomfortable with there staff like i usually do at other shelters/vets.

It's hard to give them two stars. I wish our experience was good, but it was not at all; there are a lot of mixed and sad emotions. This shelter is a non-kill, but to get an opportunity to adopt the doggie you have a connection with, you need to have a relationship with the shelter manager—an unfortunate situation. If you see the reviews, I'm not the only one that feels that way.

Not friends of the animals is a better name. I'm a Veterinarian Technician of 22 years. My boyfriemd and I were traveling, here from Arizona. We were stopped on the side of the road, Pokemoning. When a cat walked under our car. Before driving away we checked to make sure she was gone, she wasn't. Trying to get her out, I reached under the car to get her. Once she was in my hands, I realized how emaciated she was. There was no way I could leave her. We stopped and got a carrier and some food. The next day we were planning to take her to the Humane Society, they were closed. So we googled, and headed to Uplands Resue. They were callus, careless and dismissive. They tried telling me that she could belong to someone. There is no way she could have an owner, definetly not one that cared. Being that she was a skeleton with skin on it. Not my kind of people. If I was home, this wouldn't have been an issue. I wouldn't need help from people who obviously don't have a heart. So disappointed!!

Since day one, the staff has been great. They truly care about every pet, & owner. Ive taken my Sally for shots, to get fixed, & recently for a surgery on her paw. Every time, the staff took great care of Sally. They remember Sally by name, and how she acts with the staff, and reacts with any meds that Sally has had. The prices are very reasonable. I understand they may be offering more services in the near future. Give them a call, before you go somewhere else.

I adopted my forever dog here. So friendly. If I could I would adopt more dogs here, but I can't. I love my dog. He has been with me a week. Thank you so much.
