Boys were up and running around a half hour after pick up! Take advantage of the discount rates if you are unemployed!! Very satisfied customer!

Got my dog his shots and nail trim last week, this was the best and fastest experience I have ever had. The staff was great, quick and took great care of my buddy. I will def be returning here for all future vaccinations.

Got a pup from here, got him home and he went nuts and bit me. Came from a kill shelter from Mississippi, they new nothing about the dog. I took him back the next day. They refunded my money, but they made me feel like it was my fault.

Brought a stray mama kitty and her babies (8wks old) that we have been taking care of to the vaccination clinic. We made their appts and paid online, arrived a little before our appt time, and they met us in the parking lot, took them all inside, and had them back out within a few minutes. Very nice people, very affordable vaccinations. We paid $90 for Mama & 4 kittens. Mama was $30 b/c she also got her rabies vaccine, kittens were $15 each.

0 Stars. Go to ithaca if possible. Ive called here 2 times in my life because Im barely in Chemung county, to surrender a pet. One was a girl I took in from an abusive situation, although I had no money to care for her if she had wounds or illness, I wanted her out of there, if I didnt take her, no one would of. She ended up having some sort of stomach issues. I called and explained her condition, WITHOUT A SECOND to explain after the stomach issues. The receptionist got attitude saying she needs to go to the vet. Second time. Recently, I found a batch of kittens in a box. I took care of them for a week when then noticing they had something wrong. This time I called and explained that I found them before explaining the condition, STILL got attitude and was spoken to rudely. I guess if your heart is there to save an animal, but you dont have money for the unexpected illnesses they may have. LEAVE THWM THERE. Is THIER MOTO they are trying to spread around. If your a receptionist here reading this. Dont bother replying. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Great people. Nice facility. Adoption options galore.

Staff is amazing and they were very friendly and gentle with my animal when we went here. They do what they can to make the animals as well as the owners feel comfortable

Good place! Really enjoy the cat room!

Had both of my current cats and 5 others in the past Spayed/Neutered there. Very friendly, helpful, compassionate staff and Volunteers. I especially thank Carmela, she is very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend that people adopt from the SPCA rather then buying Pets in Stores, Puppy Mills, etc.

They are very nice and very Loving people here and they help out anyone who has a pet

Very good and wonderful people who care for others animals I would recommend them

Great service, my sister adopted a beautiful dog, shes such an angel, special shout out to Lisa at front desk, awesome lady

Little on the pricey side at a $175 adoption fee. But considering the other high cost of everything here in NY, its understandable. These folks work hard for the fur babies.

It was very clean, and all the animals were very friendly! I wanted to take home a cat, but my mom said no. I had alot of fun, and cannot wait till the end if March, because my Social Media Club is hosting a dance at my school, and all the money is going to the SPCA! See you guys again soon!

They wont pay me my $30 dollars back. I was the for my dog rabies shot and microchip. They refused to see my dog. Because I wont allow them to put a muzzle on my dog I believe that is animal cruelty

This is a great place to adopt a pet for a good cause. I adopted my cat here and everyone was very happy to hear that I was taking a cat home. They let you spend as much time as you need with the animals. In the entire time I was there I never felt pressured to adopt or felt like I outstayed my welcome. The prices are more than fair and they help to make it very clear what your responsibilities are when adopting a pet from an SPCA. If your looking to adopt from a shelter this should be one of your first stops.

So wonderful to take Bella who is pregnant who was threatened by neighbor.

The staff is great with the animals under their care.

I adopted my beautiful cat, Sasha, here. They are wonderful, caring people.

Havent been in to see animals but got my cat neutered there. Went back to see animals but theres no obvious entrance or anything. I was confused so I just left

I kitty I found in my trailer park my son named him Milo . I loved wish I could of keep him so loveable it hurt my feeling to give him up plus I have 3 outside but u cant catch them I feed and I named them also I was told that Milo was adopted fast that is ? What they met fast.

Cared for our brood of cats (6), didnt care for rude attendants that brought them out.

Super great people. They are very caring .. do wonderful everything

I adopted my puppy Maisie there. Very kind and professional people. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

They are so wonderful! They allowed us to meet the puppy and gave us great tips and tricks. We love our new baby

A no kill shelter

I have gotten all my pets fixed here. They are caring and loving with the animals. Facility is always clean.

I got my Carmen girl German Shepherd lab mix 8 1/2 years ago from SPCa she was the best! Unfortunately last Friday at 10 pm she crossed the rainbow bridge, she was 13. She was the greatest dog I have ever had in a little bit time. Protective, playful got along with other animals ( except cats sometimes lol ) if or ever I am ready to adopt again will definitely go to the SPCA again.

We adopted our Kitty, Snowball about 3 months ago. She has just been a joyful addition to our little household. The adoption process is easier then I thought.

Still waiting for a callback after 3 days with no success. Have not been able to speak to a live representative in over a month.

First visit there. Very clean and orderly. Got my adorable kitten Sterling now Lexi at the end of April at about 13 wks was well taken care of there. Lexi is growing like a weed full of energy and healthy!

We adopted two cats from finger lakes spca a couple of years ago, and we love them very much!! We receive posts from chemung SPCA and we were very interested in the kitten they showed as the pet of the week she was so cute.,but the problem is the cost to adopt is crazy. Since we adopted our other cats (which we had to wait until they were on sale, which is kind of sad, but it is the truth. ) anyway we would love to adopt the kitten they showed, but the cost is ridiculous. I understand there is cost to care for the animals but if their are so many animals that need homes they should make it a little easier for people like us and I am sure other people who would love to adopt, but can not afford to!! So I guess when we are asked again to help donate or help in some other way we will just save our money and look for a kitten from a farm or friend..I just hope that all the animals find homes. I just wish little lynx could have come home with us.

Wow, after reading Mr. Halls review I feel it necessary to post one in response. Being a volunteer at and foster care provider for the Chemung SPCA for over 5 years, I can say from first-hand experience that the place has done nothing but get better and better in so many ways. And the improvements are due to the hard work of a very dedicated staff, and also from the leadership and guidance from the managers. As far as the animals not being treated humanely … nothing could be further from the truth; they do the very best they can with the limited resources they have. I have found the facility to be clean, tidy and well-maintained, the animals well cared for, and the staff and management friendly and helpful. And I remember Mr. Hall, who always seemed like a nice young man, but his libelous “review” comes off like the ramblings of a disgruntled ex-employee. Come on, anyone with half a wit knows there has to be another side to his story. And how does he know what the managers or anyone else gets paid, or what theyre doing when not at the shelter … I sure dont know what my co-workers or my supervisor gets paid. Red flag, folks. Big red flag. And Ive had to call Mike, the volunteer coordinator, and the manager, Tom, at all hours of the day and night with questions about my foster kittens and they are always patient and very helpful, even meeting me at the shelter in the middle of the night to give me medicine for the kittens. Personally, Im very proud to donate my time and money to this organization, and Im just sharing my observations of how they do business. Seriously, instead of drawing conclusions from any of these reviews (including mine), I would encourage you to visit the shelter, talk with the staff and management, and form your own opinion. Im confident youll see that things are quite a bit different from the distorted picture Mr. Hall attempts to paint.

Excellent place to have animals spayed and neutered. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have flea drops available for purchase at reasonable price.

Great people, great cause, I support what they do fully!! I wish more would, as well ad help donate even if its time. to help with the animals and what they do for people. Keep up the great work

It was a very nice experience! They ROCK!!!

Not trustworthy no spca is

Staff is friendly but when we went to adopt a dog we werent given all the info and had to return him within 45 minutes. We didnt get a goody bag like all others do either. However, when I had to have my beloved cat out to sleep the staff was very compassionate and it was only 45.00.

A great place to find a fur baby.

There were so many animals to pet and play with and they were all so sweet! Also, the staff were great!

The staff is wonderful and truly loves the animals. The place is always clean, critters are well cared for and there is never any reservation about letting us see the pets.Unfortunately an unusually high percentage of pit bulls, but thats due to the demographics of the feeder communities and no fault of the dogs or staff.We have adopted several wonderful dogs from them through the years, and stop by occassionally just to say hi and love on the current residents.

Unfortunately we had a dog that we had no space for. We had rescued her with a friend. The friend was supposed to take her. It didnt work out. I took her in. Explained my situation. The people were great. Very kind and helpful. They were able to find piper a new home with in a couple weeks. I was very impressed with this organisation. They show that they truly care about the animals they take in. The best thing is they are a no kill shelter. I cant thank them enough for finding Piper her new home.

Dog food pantry, unique and helpful

The facility is clean and well-maintained. Our mother recently adopted an adult cat here and the process was very straightforward. We met other great dogs and cats that were looking for homes and everyone was clean and comfortable. Its good to know that there is a responsible organization in the area looking out for those animals that have suffered as a result of ignorance and abuse. Keep up the good work!

Very friendly and helpful! I just wish I could take all of those poor animals and give them a permanent home... Adopt one please!

We had our cat fixed here. They do a great job with the pets and are very well organized

There pet food pantry is amazing i went in to get help with some pet food and i got litter and food dishes and treats and hard food and soft food...these guys are a blessing...

Clean and very well kept place. The staff was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. You can tell that they really care about the pets.

Lost my 15 year old cat to kidney disease. I completed an application online and received a call shortly after I submitted it. I didnt have a particular cat in mind, but after speaking with someone from the SPCA, she suggested I check out a cat that was at Pet Co in Big Flats. I went that afternoon and met Kenny Blankenship, now known as just Kenny, and decided pretty quickly I wanted to adopt him. I think hes a reincarnation of my previous two black cats - hes a year old, not as spastic as a kitten but still makes me laugh out loud with the way he plays. Hes a purrfect fit for our family.

They do good for all involved

The staff was awesome !! They knew I was adopting Sophie before I told them!! Everything was clean and neat and the staff stayed late for us because we could not get there before 4:30...Thanks againTony Malarkey

A great place to get a new friend a cat or dog looking for a home with people that will love them forever. Stop in and maybe there will be your friend for life.

A great place to find a great pet! Lots of wonderful cats & dogs waiting for their forever homes!

Your Shelter must be doing terrific!! I looked your site over and although you show many pictures of cats for adoption you only have one dog! thats fantastic. good job everyone!

A great place to find your furever friend. Clean. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. You wont be dissatisfied.

My questions were answered immediately and very professionally

Amazing staff. Great facility wonderful with my fur babies. They are hard working wonderful people loving animals who desperately need love.

Went to look at dogs. Had one only (witch is a good thing). Very clean and well maintained for a animal shelter.

Love going here to see the pets that are available for adoption

Adopted several pets over the years, go to donate and pet critters. Nice actively considerate staff and volunteers. Nice affordable SNAP program for adopted pets even from,other shelters and found strays.

They told me I could look at the kittens and did mention that they could not be leave til Monday. I informed them several time where I was located and that they I could check out this week but would be able to pick up until next Saturday because I work, I drove over 2 hrs and after picking the two out I wanted did they say I had to be there Monday to pick them up and they are not allowed to keep them there longer if someone pays and does everything else to adopt them. Again 4th around trip and you didnt tell me that on the phone the at least ten times I talked with you. Unhappy with customer service skills, and where does it say anything like that on there web site, or adversitment sites, will not return.

Love tbis place and the dedication of staff and dr.

This organization does a wonderful job caring for homeless dogs and cats until they find their furever homes. The residents are given some training so the new parents are getting a family member that is not raw

They Do and Do and Do great things please support soca however you can !!!

They have a waiting list if you dont want your cat. I will not go back there again. The only plus side is they do appear to be adding on.

Great people helping out families in so many different ways.

Took stray in they are taking good care of him will take more..love them

Great services offered to the public and they are timely.

Got a very pretty kitten it was clear the shalter day got the kitten free she was already spayed and shots up to date very nice place

Amazing shelter

They helped save a stray female cat from certain death. We were sent there by Paradise Animal Haven in woodhull ny. I hope I got that name right. They were great also. Thank You. Kit Kat is doing good and has a fur-ever home.

Amazing people amazing Dr .If you need a pet spayed ,neutered or just want to adopt the special friend this is the place to go .

When I went to rescue a dog from the Chemung SPCA, I was given a dog with multiple health issues. None of which were disclosed to me at the time of adoption, and once discovered, the SPCA denied any knowledge of them. My dog was sponsored so there was no adoption fee; this was likely because they wanted to get rid of this dog due to the many health issues. Their lack of knowledge of the health issues seems impossible based on the severity of the issues. When I called to ask them about any previous knowledge, they did not offer to help cover any medical expenses and rather sent me a list of grants to apply for, half of which the website did not even work. I encourage people to adopt from this shelter for the sole sake of saving these animals from the shelter itself! I am so thankful that I got my dog away from them when I did so that he could have a fighting chance! Shame on this shelter.

Welcoming staff who were very appreciative of our donation as well as our visit with the animals.

Ive taken a few cats to get fixed when they had the clinic with Paradise Garden

Great staff and they care really well for the animals there.

I really would love to volunteer for this company and get involved but its located so far out of the area that it makes it very inconvenient for people like me who do not own a vehicle and have to rely on public transportation; this place is so far out that none of the city buses are even able to stop anywhere near it. I believe the Chemung County SPCA would get so much more attraction and attention to their business if they relocated closer to more populated areas of Chemung County, like in Elmira, the Heights or Horseheads. I hope they consider moving in the future. Plus, the website has many errors on it that needs to be fixed and updated. Please, SPCA! I like your place... but Im just merely making suggestions.

Clean and wonderful staff. Very helpful, especially Megan.

They are not willing to take strays they told me i had to pay 50 dollars to drop off kittens i found in a trash bag on the side of the road. I was very displeased.

People care about making sure your adoption is a perfect fit for them & you.

Great staff, great purpose they serve for our community.

No one answers the phone here nor will they return your call so i showed up because i was in need of food for my babys and the older lady the works at the front desk was rude as hell and i had been calling all day dont think ill ever ask for help ever again from this place!

Brought my kitten Stella to get spayed. Very friendly, helpful and professional staff.

Great place to adopt a pet! Very clean and friendly atmosphere!

Got kitten fixed they way great

They have a monthly animal food Bank. They give treats, food,toys, litter and other stuff to help you out.

They were sympathetic as I had to put my cats to sleep

Very clean and friendly staff. They genuinely care about the animals.

Great costumer service and great pets to adopt. Would reccomend to anyone.

Very helpful accommodating our needs.

I have recently done volunteer work there, and I find that the animals are well cared for, and my experience was very enjoyable. I would certainly go back.

Rescued Rosie the beagle! Good place to check fgor surrendered, lost or otherwise dogs or cats, if that is your preference.

Was happy the day I visited as there were no dogs to adopt. Isnt that s good day.

Best shelter around. Would absolutely recommend ❤

Loved it

There are not enough stars to give this place! The staff are very friendly and helpful, and they take amazing care of the animals.

Had my kitties fixed. They were very nice.

Lovely place gave us a biscount when we got 6 cats fixed

Well...for murdering pits...that was not my experience. I adopted Sparkle...an ill-mannered Staffordshire Terrior a few years back. She was a Hurricane Katrina rescue as a matter of fact, who could have been perceived as a hostile, distant, aggressive gal...but...she was found...despite her ill-mannered ways (yes, challenging...but humorous at the same time), to be a gal evaluated as worth saving...and she had the personality to be brought back and be adopted to a forever home...and she had been returned to the SPCA more than once)! Despite that, adopt her I did...with a greyhound Gabby Hayes and a cat with attitude, Attie. All went well! I worked with the deaf-blind, and with that experience, she seemed to be ignoring me...so I began to feel she had a hearing deficit. Yes, she needed some adapting, but the SPCA sought help at Cornell to determine if she as indeed deaf...and yep...she was. They provided me with any assistance as I needed it...and never hesitated...I had been blessed with her...as many other dogs over the years from there, I can proudly sayI I only had her for a bit under two years, but she loved my grandsons, my Attie; and most significantly, my Gabby the greyhound...who was her ears. That was a bond you had to witness and could not be explained. We were all blessed with her. With that being said...pits...terriors, etc. are given a bad rap. But they are brought there because of the owners and their lack of control...neglectful handling and training...or because they are bored with their pit (or any other breed for that matter..............SHAME ON THEM). So...if you dont like them (pits)murdered...YOU adopt them and/or find them a forever home. Just saying....Note: My Sparkle passed from an inoperable tumor, two years ago...the tumor was behind her eye...I allowed her to pass in a dignified manner...as I have allowed all my kids in the past...but she had a forever home...and was not murdered. Again...just saying...

Amazing animals with stuff and shots already done at low prices
