I honestly cannot speak highly enough about the staff at the Coquitlam Animal Shelter. We took about four weeks of a transition period to fully adopt our dog. Throughout the whole process we felt very well supported and communicated with. I was so heartened by how much they truly cared about our pup, and impressed by the individualized care she received. They gave us very detailed accurate information about her care needs and were really skilled in helping us set her up for success. If you are looking for an addition to your family, I would strongly suggest Coquitlam Animal Shelter.

My family and I went to this shelter recently and absolutely loved the experience. The staff were kind, informative, patient with us and our excited children. We saw our new potential family member and completed the painless application processss which asked for our family information to make sure the pet was going to a good home. We hope it works out.

I wasn’t looking for another cat but my husband was really missing having a fur baby since our 2 previous cats passed away. We went to multiple shelters including BCSPCA. We saw many cats but none really called out to me. We went to Coquitlam animal shelter and really liked their set up. Cats were free to roam around a nice spacious area. The cats that didn’t do well with other cats had their own kennels that were decently sized.

I was originally interested in Maverick. Super affectionate black kitty that just wanted to be loved and petted. However he got adopted before we were able to submit an application for him.

We decided to take one last visit to see if there was a kitty that caught our eye before taking a break from looking. Immediately upon seeing pumpkin spice (now Dumpling) with her little cone of shame, I couldn’t get over how adorable her face is. Her soft meows and gentle pawing made my heart melt. She had such a friendly and happy demeanour despite just being spayed the day before. She also has white paws and pink toe beans and black paw pads as well as those adorable freckle on either side of her nose!!!

Needless to say, she’s bonded quite quickly to my husband and has him wrapped around her paw ❤️

Definitely recommend Coquitlam animal shelter!! Amazingly patient staff with no pressure to adopt.

We adopted the loveliest kitty from the shelter. The staff was wonderful, very helpful, and made the whole adopting experience such a pleasant experience. You can tell they genuinely love their jobs and have the animals' best interest at heart.

Excellent and warm experience! Sam who was the peace officer who came to pick up a lost dog just before closing time at 8pm. The poor dog was clearly upset from missing her owner and wouldn’t leave the premise where I found her. Instead of forcing her to leave and get her in the van, Sam was amazingly patient and was sympathetic of what the dog was going through. He waited patiently while us ten neighbors trying to see if the owner was in the building and outside looking for her. Noting that this was after hours for Sam. And when it become apparent that the dog has to get on the van, Sam was very careful in getting her in and just exhibit the best of humanity. Thank you Sam! We appreciate your service !

Friendly staff. They take good care of the animals there. Definitely a place where most people aren't happy to be, but the staff were easy going and made it a good experience.
