Souris Valley Animal Shelter

The ppl there were very nice n helpful. My dog was happy ..i seen him befre he seen me so i got to see how he was wth the grls there and i honestly say he was good. Most times then not i have seen dogs be sad and not wanta be there but Bruce was happy. This place is great!

Seriously so happy with the service here!! The staff was super helpful and patient with me as this was my first time adopting. And the animals were well taken care of too; everything was clean and the overall atmosphere was so cheerful!

Adopted a dog from them but ended up having to give him back a few months later sadly due to aggression that I couldnt seem to train out of him. Loved him and miss him so much. Was so hard to do to give my Bear up.

Great staff, adopted my best friend from there, Rex

In Nov. 11. 2014 our little Flufferton came into our lives. He's our beloved family member. He continues to fill our lives with constant love. Thank you for your kindness and allowing him to be part of our lives!San Antonio, TX

Adopted my furbaby from them! They are awesome, staff is friendly! And the new facility is amazing.

Let the dogs there the staff is wonderful and the shelter is really clean I didn't find a pet for myself but there's a lot of great animals there.

I used to love this shelter as this was where my beloved cat came from. But as of late they have become low level at best. They don't and will not care for local animals in need but will truck in shipment after shipment of animals FROM OTHER STATES! We have an animal crisis right here in North Dakota. They are horrible and have no regard for the safety and needs of local animals. It's sad but I guess that's what happens when you have poor low level management

Love seeing all the animals getting taken care of and going to great homes! Great work SVAS!

If I could leave less stars I would. To anyone looking for honest reviews or to help an animal locally please research actual shelters/rescues that help their communities. SVAS is not one of them. Not only does SVAS ship massive amounts of animals into an over populated area, well bragging about their disaster rescues, they refuse to help with actual disasters in their own area. From the constant false information provided by them, to actual horrible experiences from many adopters, to a constant outflow of Not spayed or neutered animals, to animals not properly screened for behavior issues, to running a local shelter like a pet store, and actually refusing to take back animals they lied about well adopting out, there's issues with themselves and the community they're supposed to serve has created an endless list of problems. Well reviewing their reviews here, please keep in mind that when the community started to be honest and give them the reviews they deserve, SVAS somehow managed to get over 100+ 5 star reviews added in a matter of several days. Most reviews coming from profiles that have never even lived in or visited the actual shelter they left a review for, and profiles that where just created and had never left a review before. This ridiculous outflow of fake reviews is nothing more than another example of the extent they go to to lie and profit off animals in horrid situations. This rescue should honestly be completely rehauled and current leadership actually charged with their lies. I could not even begin to fit the problems and complaints from local adopters and other rescues themselves having major issues with this pretend shelter.
