The folks that I encountered working at this facility have been very nice, patient and supportive and spent time with me, helping me with all the wonderful dogs I was interested in. I have to say that the county needs to channel more money into this facility, its sad, nothing fun or creative, no nice yards for the dogs. Monterey County needs to work on a program to expose the dogs to the public more, take better, more creative, frontal view pictures of each dog (because you can barely even tell what a dog looks like on the web). Most of the dogs are beautiful but you would not know it by the pictures. They should have volunteers walk/socialize the dogs, provide some basic training for the dogs, give them a obedience certificate which will in turn make the dogs more desirable. Dont just put these sad dogs in a kennel and hope someone will adopt them. There are plenty of people who would volunteer their time. Also the facility should stay open longer than 5:00 PM and stay open on Sundays to give working people time to view dogs/cats. Who can get there by 5:00 PM? Not many. They should look at what other places are doing to get dogs exposed to the public and adopted. Look at Humane Society Silicon Valley for instance. Even the Salinas Humane Society or the Monterey SPCA has better pictures.

HORRIBLE!!! Drove from Monterey last Thursday, arriving @ 12:15 (15 minutes after the facility opened for viewing of animals) only to be told that they had closed access for 2 hours for cleaning! I made and appointment yesterday to bring my family to socialize with a prospective adoptable dog today. I took time off work and drove from Monterey and met my family there only to be asked "oh, didn't you see the sign?" referring to a sign posted on the entry door stating that it was not possible to see the dogs today because the farm next door was spraying. Somebody could have called since, NO, IN FACT, I COULD NOT SEE THE SIGN FROM MONTEREY!!!

Unprofessional staff that will give your the runaround. Don't believe a word they say about a so called "waiting list". If possible, you should avoid this shelter.
