My Nonprofit Reviews

Our family visited Briggs on a sheer whim. We are new to the area and didn't know anything about the place but had passed by it many times. We decided to stop in one day to kill some time. We could not have been more impressed by the cleanliness of the facility itself, the large pens, the cat room (AMAZING. Literally zen, I'll never understand how many cats can live in one place so peacefully) and overall friendlines of the staff. One dog in particular caught our eye. We weren't really in the market for a dog, but we felt a connection and decided to pursue it. Our adoption process took several weeks- which I think was really wise. We were required to visit with the dog at least 3 times to ensure a match, but as we have 3 children under the age of 6, I was hesitant and wanted to have several additional visits. The staff was more than accommodating and understanding and allowed us to take as much time as necessary to feel comfortable. When he did finally come home I believe he adjusted much more easily because of these visits and his established familiarity with us. He was brought to us with food and medications and paperwork to get us through the first few months and the transition was truly seamless. I don't have enough good things to say about Briggs. I truly believe that it's apparent they have the animal's best interest at heart. They absolutely will not adopt an animal just to get them out of the center and free up space. Life term placement is the goal, and when time and care is taken to ensure such, good results ensue. I would 100% recommend this adoption facility.
