You all did a better search than I did. I couldn't find the reviews last night. There are a lot of negative reviews and they do have a consistent claim about it not being a no kill shelter. I will see if I can find anything out. I can ask someone at the shelter where I volunteer. Of course I need to connect with someone who would know something. That might take time.
You are right that we can't actually write a review for a shelter we haven't seen. I am the only one close enough and I am still too far away for a visit. I am concerned that the shelter is no longer affiliated with the SPCA. If that is true then they have no right to use the name.
I am worried about the adoption fees. They seem very high. I looked up the adoption fees here in Toronto and none were that high. An older dog is much cheaper($80.00), but even a young purebred dog was only $350.00. Many dogs were $200.00, but they were already neutered and vaccinated so you are paying for that in the fee. So an adoption fee of $600 or even $800.00
makes the shelter seem more like a money making place.
Perhaps the fees could be explained to us.
