Exceptional Service. All individuals I spoke with both pleasant and professional. They are all doing a terrific job during an extremely stressful time. Please give the staff the credit they deserve and add some patience to the menu. That is all it takes.

They do not answer the phone. I called 10 times to let them know that my sister would be picking up my birth certificate and never got through. Pitiful customer service. Pair that with the fact that they are only open until 3:30 and any person that works a normal shift would never be able to pick up documents.

They make you feel like a nuisance for calling them and wont deal with the issue. Potential outbreaks of rabies or distemper are treated with lackadaisical contempt which will undoubtedly lead to bigger problems down the road.
