Are you all asking for donors and then turning around by shipping them to other cities for a profit?

This was my first visit to this facility and I must say, I was very pleased with the service provided to me. The staff was very friendly and accomadating to me and my daughters who I brought with me! I plan to donate more in the future and would recommend this site to others close to the Waco area.
