Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

This place claims to be a "no kill" shelter but my wife worked there and told me that the more aggressive animals or feral animals they keep in back and do put down. She since left there and now works for a vet office as a vet tech, and she told me that they choose the cheapest treatment for the animals. Even if it causes them more pain and discomfort.

This place claims to be a "no kill" facility but my wife worked there and told me they keep the aggressive and feral animals in the back. If those animals don't "calm down" or become people friendly they are put down......how is that a "No Kill" shelter?
Would love to talk to you about True Friends. Please contact me: [email protected] Read my experience below:
Senior animals who have lost their owners grieve
as much or more than others left behind. They can not verbalize their emotions and are at the mercy of .sometimes uncaring humans.
True Friends of Montrose does not understand this.
For years I have provided a safe, loving place for senior dogs and cats who have lost their home through no fault of their own (and have worked with other shelters, i.e. Lackawanna County Humane Society for one). I give them a place to spend their last days.
Dory Browning of True Friends has deemed me an unacceptable adoption home because I have made the decision that on my death the (elderly) animals in my home will be humanely put to sleep by a vet. While this might sound harsh, to put these animals through the stress and trauma of losing yet another home and ending up in a cage at the shelter is (beyond) cruel.
Having the forethought to provide for my elderly pets makes me unfit to adopt a senior dog from True Friends. Shame on you, Dory.
This ignorant little girl had a concern with something I said, NOT something written on my application. Dory did not contact me to clarify it; she just talked behind my back. True Friends is (supposedly) overcrowded and the animals are suffering because Dory Browning does not possess an ounce of empathy for the animals who have the bad luck to end up at True Friends.
