Let's be clear, I like what the AZ Humane Society does and I think their Campus for Compassion is a mind boggling awesome facility.
My only problem is that out of the three times we've gone to visit they were... out of dogs. It's entirely possible we have poor timing or that their adoption program is so fantastic that the dogs fly out of their kennels but... it was still rather strange and I couldn't help but wonder if their kennels are being under utilized.
But that's all just idle speculation and perhaps a plea for them to get more good dogs out of the county shelters and into the air conditioned, classical music playing comfort of their Campus for Compassion. I have no doubt that once a dog gets into one of these places he is well cared for.
One thing I particularly liked about their design was that there was a low wall separating the two rows of kennels in each building. I think that seems like a fantastic idea for lowering the animals stress as they don't have to stare across the hallway at some pissed off dachshund all day. It also means that getting dogs too and from their kennels isn't as big as a deal because there is only one row of barking dogs they have to worry about.
And yes, it's probably the nicest shelter I've ever heard about.
