North Country Animal Shelter

I volunteered for them for a few months and everything went very well! The animals were well taken care of, each of the animal's cages had toys in them, and the staff were very polite! :)

Our family recently 01/08 adopted a little chihuahua/terrier mix. Great little dog!! The staff was very responsive with letting us come visit, with my application and keeping me informed with the adoption process, as well as a flexible pick up time for our new fur baby. The little dog room was very clean!! Big dogs also all have clean pens. I definitely recommend this shelter if you are looking for a healthy rescue dog! They are all vetted, spay/neutered. UTD on all shots. Definitely worth the adoption fee.

We adopted from this shelter two years ago and were extremely impressed by the cleanliness and excellent care for the animals. We were asked to wear booties, all animals were kept separated in order to cut down on disease transmission, and as a result, our new puppy didn't have any health concerns, not even worms. They run a tight ship, which we very much appreciated. They do not have a lot of money, but they do the very, very best they can with what they have. They serve a very economically depressed area, and are doing a great job of it. Adoption fees are quite reasonable given the population they serve and the great need for their services in the area.

I visited the shelter yesterday (7/25/2017). The people working at the shelter are non-stop busy - - caring for the animals, feeding, water, cleaning, phone calls, paperwork, scheduling medical appointments, pickups, etc. I was very impressed by the animals health, attentiveness to & respect for the people working at the shelter. The adoption fees are very reasonable and obviously do not cover the expenses, medical, labor & other resources this no kill shelter & the people working at the shelter are making available to provide a safe, clean and caring environment for animals that some people just threw away from a last minute shopping afterthought or an inconvenience. The health of a community can be seen by how they treat the most vulnerable (children, elderly, animals) and the North Country Animal Shelter impressed me with their professionalism, ability and willingness to continuously provide resources, medical and care for the animals.

This shelter is an amazing place. They treat each dog & cat as their own.
The animals are well fed and happy until they find their forever home.
They all visit the vet & are spay or neutered before leaving the shelter.

Its definitely worth a visit to see if you can fall in love with a pet to take home.

We adopted our dog from here about 2 years ago. The staff were amazing and so helpful in helping pick out a pup. I recommend this shelter to anyone. Adopt don't shop❤

Thanks for finding Mabel for me! A perfect fit ! A sweet dog who i cant imagine my life without her💓

Very nice clean environment animals need some loving homes

Loved the cat room where the kitties aren't caged. The owners of this place are very caring animal lovers.

Was looking at a dog and they were nice saying they no longer had the dog and gave us a number to a lady who was fostering him.

Very friendly and shelter is very clean and organized

Excellent shelter that abides by all laws and puts the well being of the animals first!!

In rescuing pets you will find your soul...

My experience has been very positive. I adopted a lab/pit mix in late December. The staff, in particular Penny were very caring towards the animals, and seemed to be doing their best with limited financial resources. She was willing to answer the phone on off-hour times, and quite knowledgeable about the dog's background. I had wait a few days after my first meeting for the dog to get a rabies shot, and she was able to get the dog tested for heart worm and Lyme as part of the vaccination - not part of the normal routine. The only reason I don't give them 5 stars is that they are somewhat expensive in comparison with other shelters. But certainly happy with the new puppy,
