The people at the SPCA are very, very unfriendly. They are in no hurry to help people who visit the main office on Zeigler Circle. Even when they find the time to tend to ones needs, they are rude and dismissive. I have experienced this behavior pattern of their employees three times now upon visits. In addition, they are quick to stereotype people who potentially could give one of their animals forever homes. One lady asked my husband who is 36 if he was even 21. This was humorous to us, because he is currently sporting a full beard. Finally, even if you do make it past the first conversation with the ladies at the front, it will be about a week until they even show you their animals. This in my opinion is the most devastating part of their backwards method to executing a charity. Being able to see the animals at the Mobile County Animal Shelter resulted in our discovery of a dog we just could not leave without. It is unfortunate that the SPCA would not allow such a fairy tale for one of their animals.
