Friends Are Saying

  • As a large, inner city shelter we receive several animals on a daily basis which leads to overcrowding. Whenever they have the room, True Friends has stepped up to offer their help in rescuing & placing our dogs in amazing new homes. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your efforts on behalf of our animals. It is appreciated by all of us!

  • Several years ago, we adopted a dog from True Friends. Since that time, our family became volunteers and advocates for this very special, local shelter. We have been at the shelter when pets are surrendered and adopted, as well as many times in between. We have witnessed the day to day work put forth to run the shelter with the highest standards. The care and love that these animals receive is immeasurable. The staff, volunteers, and board are incredible blessings to the unwanted pets in this area, as well as to the community as a whole.

  • We adopted two puppies from True Friends in November of 2014 and you couldn’t ask for nicer, kinder, or more compassion people who take pride in caring for their animals. We were not necessarily looking for puppies, and they were so good about telling us not only the good traits of the animals in their care, but also the traits that wouldn’t fit in our family well. We support them as much as we can because we believe so strongly in their dedication.

  • As a volunteer, True Friends is a wonderful place to meet friends both animal and human, get some exercise, and make a difference for animals in need.

  • True Friends Animal Welfare Center is the greatest experience in adopting a companion for life because they truly care about the animals and provide a loving place until they are adopted. I am so grateful for finding True Friends, as it brought me to my wonderful baby, Ember.

  • I receive such gratification being a volunteer at True Friends. When you look into the eyes of our "furry friends", you see their souls. They just want some of your time and love and it makes a difference in their lives. I'm also proud to be part of a team that is truly dedicated in giving the love and care these beautiful animals deserve.

  • True Friends is simply amazing!! Every single animal that is lucky enough to find their way here on their journey to their forever home is treated like family.

  • Thanks to True Friends, we have met the love of our lives. True Friends is a no-kill shelter that goes above and beyond to make sure every furever friend get the love and support needed before being adopted. The staff are true angels that devote so much to make each and every future family member feel loved. Thanks to them, our adopted Basset Hound, Merle, took to us quickly, already knowing love and security. We and Merle will never forget the loving shelter that brought us together.
