Helping Hands Humane Society Inc

I'm pretty sure only superheroes work here. They have a hundred things to do, but they still took the time to help me find the right fit for my family and my needs. They took all of my concerns seriously (even my silly pets) and sent our new kitten home with the necessary medications and instructions to give her the best start in life. These people are providing a necessary public service and when they're busy you have to wait your turn. Sometimes that's a long wait, but that doesn't mean they're not approaching every situation with empathy, expertise, and kindness. We're so happy to have this new rambunctious, curious, and cuddly addition to our family. Thank you for getting Susie sorted for us!

Our dog we got from here? Fantastic. He’s a sweetheart and we love him. However, despite being assured he was healthy, he left with kennel cough (dog pneumonia) and we had to redo his rounds of vaccinations since they were not done sufficiently. Additionally, they are NOT a no kill shelter. If you bring a stray animal here, if they do not pass requirements, they are eligible to be euthanized. Be aware of this if you want to bring in any stray animals. I was assured of this at least twice when I brought in strays. They do great for the community, I just wish I knew where to take animals I find on the street somewhere they won’t be killed. If anyone has recommendations, I’m all ears.

To adopt a pet, You'll need to start by filling out an adoption form at the round counter. After turning in the form, it may take a few minutes or more for someone to be with you, so go ahead and start looking at pets. Once someone sees you, they'll ask you some questions at their desk, go over information about any animal you're interested in, and try to find you a good match for your preferences. Once a candidate(s) is(are) identified, you'll get a chance to interact with them in a room. Assuming all goes well and you choose to adopt, they'll take you back to their desk to do paper work. Microchips are currently being offered for $10. AKCreunite is the company currently used and will grant access to your account for as long as you own the pet. I don't know much about other companies, but I heard there are some that charge you a yearly subscription fee. Other things I've read is that microchips might possibly move to a different area of your pet's body. Just something to know and keep in mind. Overall, we've had great experiences here adopting pets! My cat already send to feel at home, following me to the bathroom, jumping on my counters, and sleeping in my bed.
