Sullivan County Spca

I adopted a puppy and was given incorrect info on breed, puppy was a particularly difficult mix. They never checked references, just wanted the $360. The shelter was dirty and cold. The floors were so wet and the air stank of bleach so powerfully that our nostrils bur...nt. Imagine what it's like for the dogs! The shelter lost electricity during Hurricane Sandy and had no generators! Sullivan County loses electricity frequently, how could they not have been prepared. They have puppies for sale all the time( which seems odd to me )but at $360 a puppy they couldn't buy generators for the dogs welfare. Something is very amiss there and it is a privately owned SPCA. Don't be mislead because they call themselves an SPCA. They have had problems in the past. I seriously wondered if I should write this because I was concerned about the welfare of the animals there but I am sure if this business is looked into by anyone that can enforce a change it will in the end benefit all the animals.

Buyer Beware! I adopted a pup from them on 4/30, on 5/1 I was in the ER Vet at 3am with an extremly sick pup, he had pneumonia. Not only did I pay the adoption fee of 350$, but now for his care less then 12hrs after taking him home, I have paid and will pay in excess of... 1000$. The refuse any responsibility, even though I was told this occured from a "Kennel Cough" that was left untreated. He was given the Bordella Vaccine but it doesnt become effective for 2weeks, and in that period he had been exposed to other sick dogs. This whole expierence has left me with a very bad taste in my mouth, very sad considering I was just trying to do a good thing by providing a needed home to a rescue. On a positive note, they do return your calls on you submitted application quickly, they seem to be caring about animals, I just dont think they handled this situation appropriatly. Read More
