Fairhaven Animal Control

Adopted my German Shepherd here. Best decision I have ever made. Staff were friendly and courteous. Next adoption will definitely be here! Thanks Terri

Last year we rescued Buster from Fairhaven animal shelter. It was instant love for us and our other dog Luna. The experience we had was phenomenal. They not only contacted us right away to set up an appointment, but they also made the process of taking home Buster quick and easy. We couldn't be happier with our decision to go through them, would definitely recommend.

The ACO is very kind and caring. I adopted 3 cats from here and my parents adopted 1. He picks the best person for the animal and I would go back again.

Great animal shelter, the Animal Control Officer and Assistant Animal Control Officer work hard to ensure all the animals go to the best home possible, I have adopted 3 of my cats from them.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience here .. everyone there is so caring and they truly care about the animals n match them perfectly I would suggest this place to anyone

Very clean and volunteers are friendly, helpful and care about the animals.

Can't get them to answer phone to take an animal abuse report!!!!

The day I called, Nobody answered. I wasn’t sure if you needed an appointment or if you could just show up as many animal shelters have turned to appointment only due to covid. Couldn’t get through to anyone so we decided to show up. Saw one man with his feet up at his desk chatting with another man. We waited patiently for their conversation to end, He said we could just go ahead and look at the dogs. So we went into the kennel by ourselves and looked. We (Another person I was with and myself) both found a dog we wanted, Filled out an application, The man said if we’re approved we will definitely get a call, If not I guess we won’t hear from them. During that same day we applied at two other animal shelters and got accepted to adopt at both of them, We are actually in the process of adopting a dog in Dartmouth. Weird how we didn’t get approved here but everywhere else we did. The man working didn’t seem to have a care in the world. Sad because they always post cute dogs on Facebook (When we went in they only had two and one aggressive one). Probably won’t come back here

Went to visit a surrender dog "Toby" call prior to visiting . The woman that answered my call said that "Toby" was available so I said I'd be over! She said I'm not taking any more applications as of my phone call!She just made that decision on the spot! WOW I went over anyway, she said that she had a dozen or so applications. I asked why won't you take mine?...What happens if some people cancel, some aren't qualified etc. She looked at me an didn't answer! It certainly appeared she had the owner picked out already....That's how it looked to me and my friend!I am totally discussed by how I was treated by this woman. Sadly I didn't get her name! She is completely unprofessional and certainly needs lessons on how to deal with the public! She deserves zero star! The young volunteer that showed us the pup was very friendly! She deserves 10 stars being able to work with the other woman! I would avoid Fairhaven Animal Control at all cost! She'll never see us again there are way to many fine establishment that have wonderful animals and know how to work with people!
