I hit the cat jackpot!!!!!!!! Last year both of my senior cats passed. The loneliness was unbearable. I went to Petsmart on Brook Rd and found my new lifetime companion. The actual adoption was thoughtfully handled through Hanover Humane Society. I emailed the Adoptions Coordinator, Lynn, per the instructions at the pet area. WOW!!! Lynn is WONDERFUL!!! She responded quickly about my interest in " Elise".. She graciously and patiently answered all of my questions . I completed the application for adoption. I now have my beautiful, sweet, loving companion in my arms as I write this! I could not be more pleased with Elise and the wonderful people at Hanover Humane Society. Thank you ! ❤️

I recently adopted a beautiful little black Bobtail mix named Wednesday. Her story was not that unusual. A first heat Momma and given up, she was small and a bit malnourished. Thanks to HHS she and her babies have new lives. She made a wonderful, nurturing young Momma. Wednesday is growing, loving, and playful. I have ambulatory issues and HHS allowed me to be a Forever Momma to Wenesday. I am greatful to them. Oh! Did I say she was Spoiled? She stays close and is very much a caretaker at heart. Once a Momma always a Momma. The adoption process was a little nerve-racking. I can say they did not discriminate. The were great matchmakers.

Outstanding kennel! My dog perks up in the car when he sees the parking lot and I have to hold him back as we walk in. He loves the whole staff!

My wife and I, who have been cat owners for decades, firmly believe these folks are not the least bit interested in placing their animals into loving homes. A paper shuffling, pencil pushing, bureaucratic mess, where, apparently, some type of authoritarian style "committee", as they refer to it, looks over each application and decides if you're worthy enough to take home a homeless kitty. In fact, you're not even allowed to meet the cat outside of it's viewing cage until you're first deemed worthy by these people. Their application consists of psychological probing, background checks and impossible to answer hypotheticals. They demanded references, (whom they never contacted) and even required our current cat's veterinarian information. (Whom they also never contacted) Upon completing this application, we were then told, in so many words, "Dont call us. We'll call you." "If you're lucky." After all that, this so called "committee" that is the Hanover Humane Society, has apparently decided this poor kitty, that is in need of a good home, is physically, mentally and emotionally better off in a 2'x2' glass viewing enclosure over at the Pet Smart than with a loving family. And, the way they see it, no explanation warranted. I quess we don't deserve one. Their adoption disclosures did state they may do a physical tour of the potential new home as part of the decision process. Fine. So, where were they? They were welcome to have knocked on our door, unannounced, day or night. They could have even met "Rudy", our other cat. But, I guess doing that as well as checking the references they required would have been too dificult and time consuming. And simply denying the application was easier. Who knows? Call me crazy, but, I would think when none other than The Hanover Humane Society has the application of someone looking to give a poor animal a fantastic life, in their hand, they would bend over backwards to try and place that animal. And, only in the most obvious cases of potential abuse and neglect would an application be denied. I guess I'm wrong about that. Of course, the real loser here is this poor kitty. I was just at the Pet Smart today where she still sits in her glass enclosure a month after applying for her. And we're sure she's not the only animal that has missed out on a great life thanks to H.H S. These folks have obviously lost sight of the ball.
