This is well-maintained facility staffed with people who are helpful and caring. The kennels where the dogs are kept are a fair size, with an outdoor and indoor half. I saw staff members cleaning and taking the dogs out for walks in a larger open area. There are fenced playpens for you to acquaint yourself with potential adoptable dogs.
They also have a color ranking system to help you select the dog with the right energy level. Staff are very patient and try to answer your questions. They also don't mind if you ask to see more dogs and when you're not ready to adopt.
After 3 or 4 visits, I adopted a male dog who was not yet neutered. The $85 fee covered:
- Microchip & Registration
- Rabies exam & vaccination
- Spay/Neuter Surgery
- Pre-adoption vaccinations
- Initial De-Worming
- 4lb bag of Hill's Science Diet food
- 30 Days of Pet Insurance
- Heartworm Test
They also threw in a collar for me because the collar I brought was difficult to put on. My free goodie bag included: a few dog food samples, toothpaste, a toothbrush, some nail lotion and a training video.
My one complaint is small, in that I wish they provided Jack with an e-collar to keep him from licking his surgery area. We purchased one for him, but he had irritated the area quite a bit.
Thankfully, the Humane Society was very responsive to emails. I took a photo of the surgery area and they were able to make recommendations. Jack is in great health and very happy!
I should also mention that they have an awesome website that includes photos and descriptions of available dogs and cats. I checked this site almost daily for dog types that I might want to see in person. It's a great site and updated all the time.
This is a no-kill facility that really seems to care about placing their dogs in good homes. I was happy to support them.
