	+ ------ + ''2009-05-12 13:21:23'' [[nbsp]] I adopted a beautiful dog there 17 years ago. A great experience the staff was very helpful. There were a few people wanting to adopt her, but we were the lucky family. Sadly we had to say goodbye to her a week ago. Mahina was an amazing dog and will be missed. --["Users/agerould"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-05-11 22:42:17'' [[nbsp]] I currently work for Yolo County Animal Services, and I have been there 2 years this June 2009. After reading all the posts on this place, I feel the need to update to currrent. Yes, this is a shelter that uses euthansia, however, we try ou ABSOLUTE best to place the animal elsewhere before coming to this final decision. We will find a foster home, a rescue, etc before coming to the last straw. The procedure is completely humane, it only takes a matter of seconds and is not at all painful. A simple injection and the animal simply falls into a peaceful sleep. It is definatley something we all wish we didn't have to do, but if there were more responsible pet owners out there, we wouldn't have to do any of that. + + As far as the sick cat insisted on being spayed before it was well, I have never heard of that issue, although I don't doubt it. Since I have started working here and fostering kittens myself, I know they have to be at least 2lbs before any suck operation can occur. The cat has to be completely healthy, and adoptable. + + I absolutely love working here, and taking care of the animals. I like to make sure eachone is comfortable, and let them know I love them. Because I do. All those poor animals looking sadly at me as I walk by their kennel, needs to know someone loves them, and as I rotate them from their kennels, I make sure I pet each one and make it happy and have it wag its tail. It's a happy feeling for me! + + + + --["Users/animallover"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-02-17 15:51:09'' [[nbsp]] Unfortunately, there are just too many stray animals taken to the shelter that they can all be adopted; it's a terrible shame, but I do understand the necessity to euthanize as a last resort. Because I knew this, after my cat died in 2007, I made a point of adopting two cats from the shelter. They cost about $100 each in total. They were spayed/neutered, had their shots and a clean bill of health, and the shelter gave us a bag of food for each cat as well as the free vet visit. An SPCA representative also interviewed me and went over a questionnaire I'd filled out about pet ownership before the adoption was approved. I found out later from another visitor that he'd wanted to adopt one of the cats I adopted, but they wouldn't allow it because he intended for the cat to be kept outdoors at all times. I'm glad that they do screen prospective owners this way, in order to provide the best chance possible for the animals. Needless to say...my two adorable kitties are one of the bright spots in my life, and they'll have a home with me and my family all their lives. --["Users/amay"]

- ''2006-10-09 16:23:18'' [[nbsp]] So I really just gotta put in my two cents about the Yolo County SPCA. I adopted (more like bought, since they charge a gajillion dollars to 'adopt') my cat, Fizzle, from the Yolo County SPCA in 2003. Well, she was a stray and when I adopted her she was less than 2 pounds and had a minor upper respiratory infection. The girl who answered my questions and took me through the adoption bureacracy told me about the infection, and I'm not an idiot, so I wasn't concerned. They did, however, INSIST on spaying her before I could take her home. Let's recap here: she's barely 6 - 8 weeks old, she's less than 2 lbs (underweight), and she has an upper respiratory infection. WHAT IDIOT OPERATES ON A SICK ANIMAL?! But they did, and it nearly killed her. It cost me about $500 dollars in vet bills from post-op opportunistic infections before she was well again. Therefore, I have no respect for the shelter. --["SandyKnowles"]	+ ''2006-10-09 16:23:18'' [[nbsp]] So I really just gotta put in my two cents about the Yolo County SPCA.

- ''2006-12-30 20:28:58'' [[nbsp]] I think that it's REALLY important to point out two things: 1) The animal shelter in Woodland IS NOT run by the SPCA...it is run by Yolo County. The Yolo County SPCA is a totally SEPARATE non-profit group that simply assists in the adoption process at the shelter. They RESCUE the animals that are in need of removal from the shelter to SAVE them from being euthanized. The animals are then placed with families throughout the county as fosters until a good home is found for them and they can be adopted. 2)It is not the SPCA nor the County's fault that you had to have your animal spayed or neutered prior to adoption. IT IS THE LAW THAT ALL ANIMALS BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED or they cannot be adopted out. It is to protect the animals from overpopulation and crowding the shelter. Otherwise it's pure irresponsibility on our part. --["DarcyMcNie"]	+ ''2006-12-30 20:28:58'' [[nbsp]] I think that it's REALLY important to point out two things: 1) The animal shelter in Woodland IS NOT run by the SPCA...it is run by Yolo County.

- ''2007-03-17 14:38:43'' [[nbsp]] I adopted a cat from the SPCA (not the shelter) and I was told that the cat would become antisocial. My friend petsat him at her home and she said he was the most affectionate cat and was out roaming around all the time (for 1 yr and 8 months). We realized that the cat wasn't anti-social, instead he just didn't like my dogs. In fact, he constantly sprayed in areas that my dogs like to sleep in (my clothes, bed, etc). We realized we couldn't force him to be happy so he needed a home with no dogs so we took him back to the spca. The people at the spca were so rude. First, they DEMANDED a monetary donation which defeats the whole point of calling it a donation. They said that after 2 years, you have to make a donation which is bull b/c the contract we signed never stated so. So not only did we pay $90 for a cat that we had to take back to the spca, but they wanted additional money because we took care of the cat for 2 years? It does not make sense to me at all. --["TiffanyLee"]	+ ''2007-03-17 14:38:43'' [[nbsp]] I adopted a cat from the SPCA (not the shelter) and I was told that the cat would become antisocial.

It cost me $15.00 for the adoption fee, $9.50 for the license, and $18.50 for the first round of vaccinations for a grand total of $48.00. I am also paying for the dog to be neutered which is $60 to a vet in Davis. So the grand total of the adoption will be $108.00. I think this is a reasonable cost since I would have to pay for vaccinations and neutering with any puppy. I see that the only real cost of the adoption from the Yolo County Shelter was the $15.00 adoption fee. --["SharlaDaly"]	+ ''2007-03-17 17:42:20'' [[nbsp]] I adopted a 4 month old puppy from the Animal Shelter today.

I adopted (more like bought, since they charge a gajillion dollars to 'adopt') my cat, Fizzle, from the Yolo County SPCA in 2003. Well, she was a stray and when I adopted her she was less than 2 pounds and had a minor upper respiratory infection. The girl who answered my questions and took me through the adoption bureacracy told me about the infection, and I'm not an idiot, so I wasn't concerned. They did, however, INSIST on spaying her before I could take her home. Let's recap here: she's barely 6 - 8 weeks old, she's less than 2 lbs (underweight), and she has an upper respiratory infection. WHAT IDIOT OPERATES ON A SICK ANIMAL?! But they did, and it nearly killed her. It cost me about $500 dollars in vet bills from post-op opportunistic infections before she was well again. Therefore, I have no respect for the shelter. --["SandyKnowles"]

At least the SPCA pays for the spay/neuter, plus vaccines, microchip and in the case of dogs, an ear tattoo for ID purposes.

That cost me well over $600! --["DarcyMcNie"] + ------ + ''2007-03-17 14:38:43'' [[nbsp]] I adopted a cat from the SPCA (not the shelter) and I was told that the cat would become antisocial.

He had reached a point where he couldn't hear, stand or walk for more than a few seconds, control his bowels and had begun to waste away. The staff led us to a private area, gave him a couple of clean blankets to lie on and let us sit there with him until he was relaxed and we were ready to give the okay. It was a very difficult moment for all of us since we had known him since he was a pup. Also, I had never had to do this before and didn't know what to expect. The staff at the shelter were very kind and patient, explained everything that would happen, were very gentle with him and gave us as much time as we wanted with him afterward, and I really appreciated everything they did. --["Users/DukeMcAdow"]

They said that after 2 years, you have to make a donation which is bull b/c the contract we signed never stated so. So not only did we pay $90 for a cat that we had to take back to the spca, but they wanted additional money because we took care of the cat for 2 years? It does not make sense to me at all. --["TiffanyLee"]

At least the SPCA pays for the spay/neuter, plus vaccines, microchip and in the case of dogs, an ear tattoo for ID purposes. I adopted a dog from the shelter and paid $100 and STILL had to pay for a spay, vaccines, microchip and antibiotics. That cost me well over $600! --["DarcyMcNie"]

	+ ------ + ''2006-12-30 20:28:58'' [[nbsp]] I think that it's REALLY important to point out two things: 1) The animal shelter in Woodland IS NOT run by the SPCA...it is run by Yolo County. The Yolo County SPCA is a totally SEPARATE non-profit group that simply assists in the adoption process at the shelter. They RESCUE the animals that are in need of removal from the shelter to SAVE them from being euthanized. The animals are then placed with families throughout the county as fosters until a good home is found for them and they can be adopted. 2)It is not the SPCA nor the County's fault that you had to have your animal spayed or neutered prior to adoption. IT IS THE LAW THAT ALL ANIMALS BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED or they cannot be adopted out. It is to protect the animals from overpopulation and crowding the shelter. Otherwise it's pure irresponsibility on our part. --["DarcyMcNie"]

- It is easy to adopt an animal from the shelter and for the most part the animals held there are treated nicely. The adoption process includes a brief interview about your home environment, including questions about previous pet ownership, yard containment, etc. if you live in a rental property, you must provide proof that your landlord will allow you to keep pets, which an Animal Services officer will verify. If your chosen pet has not been spayed or neutered, the animal will have to undergo the procedure and will be available to take home the day after the adoption once appropriate fees have been paid.	+ It is easy to adopt an animal from the shelter and for the most part the animals held there are treated nicely.

	+ ------ + ''2006-10-09 16:23:18'' [[nbsp]] So I really just gotta put in my two cents about the Yolo County SPCA. I adopted (more like bought, since they charge a gajillion dollars to 'adopt') my cat, Fizzle, from the Yolo County SPCA in 2003. Well, she was a stray and when I adopted her she was less than 2 pounds and had a minor upper respiratory infection. The girl who answered my questions and took me through the adoption bureacracy told me about the infection, and I'm not an idiot, so I wasn't concerned. They did, however, INSIST on spaying her before I could take her home. Let's recap here: she's barely 6 - 8 weeks old, she's less than 2 lbs (underweight), and she has an upper respiratory infection. WHAT IDIOT OPERATES ON A SICK ANIMAL?! But they did, and it nearly killed her. It cost me about $500 dollars in vet bills from post-op opportunistic infections before she was well again. Therefore, I have no respect for the shelter. --["SandyKnowles"]
