So it started off odd. Walked in they requested both ids and then decided they didn’t need both because and I quote ‘we are just trying to get rid of animals’. After we went back and looked at the dogs we decided on James. While filling out an application for the puppy we overheard the male in the office say we decided on James. The lady commented awe everyone loves James. The guy then proceeded to say ‘Yeah everyone loves James until they get denied’ we proceeded to fill out the application. Monday came and we had to call them (of course cuz you def don’t get paid to call people 😂) we ended up getting denied because we didn’t tell them our entire life story such as the situation with owning our home. They were very bent out of shape about my cats not having a vet since I just moved here either. Don’t forget though, they don’t even have a vet to provide animals with up to date shots or neutering them or spaying them. God forbid someone else doesn’t though 😂 even though they just wanna get rid of animals. Imagine saying that and then holding the animals hostage to the point that you see the complete disappointment on the poor babies faces. I bet if we wanted the kittens he tried pushing onto us we would have gotten approved. 😂😂😂

I called to ask a question snd get answer. A guy answering the phone thought he was going to seriously bully me. Such rude people! I'm sure there has to be a nice person working there. I don't believe the rest care at all about cats or dogs. The mayor should have one or two different people call and see what they say and how they are treated. All but maybe one or two should be replaced with people who care about animals and know how to treat people.- Unbelieveable! They need a new and larger kennel line up to temporary foster. I am still angry from just trying to talk to some of these people. Maybe this place should close its doors for good ! I will remove that star and put an F for failed now! Horribile.

Always came across very compassionate people who work there. Only a few incidents with my own dog getting loose years back and strays in the area. Good people, keep up the good work Hammond Animal Control.

Really bad and rude customer service. The lady and the guy in the front desk had an attitude towards me since the very 1st second I got into the building. She asked what I needed for I explained to her I had found the dog wandering around. She asked me where I had found it and I told her I found Him at the South Shore train Station in Hammond, but she insisted it was East Chicago. Then she asked if I was a Hammond resident, I said I live in Munster. She asked how I found him there if I live in MuNster... I told her I went there to drop my son off at the station since he was going to Chicago. Then a rude guy came saying I have to be a Hammond resident those are the rules WITHOUT EVEN FACING ME OR GUIDING ME INTO THE RIGHT PATH TO FI D THE DOG A SAFE PLACE. . I thought they were there for the animals regardless of the residency of the finder. ANYWAY, THEY NEED TO BE TAUGHT HOW TO TREAT PEOPLE ESPECIALLY IF WE R TRYING TO HELP.

They will not spay or neuter the animal, after you adopt an animal you will have to spayed or neutered them or they will give you a citation and will not disclose this after you adopt.
