I put in an application for a very sweet dog and was told I was the first to put in an application, and would be the first to get a call about her adoption. I visited her over 6 times waiting and anticipating her adoption. I have a fenced in yard, one elderly cat, and so much time on my hands. I had such a deep connection for this dog and was constantly waiting for the call. Today I get a call and was informed she had been adopted and that they were a better fit due to a fenced in back yard, which I have. I will go to other shelters moving forward. Be prepared for misinformation
We adopted our cat Buck from here about 6 months ago! We couldn’t have had a better experience with all of the staff. When we were in the process of adopting we had a personal emergency happen and had to leave. We were worried that Buck was going to be gone by the time we got back but they placed him on a hold for us!! 🤍 We couldn’t recommend them enough and will be back soon to add another cat to our fur family!
The people who work/volunteer here are rude. I went to drop off a donation with my grandson and we were hoping to take a look at the cats & dogs and maybe play with a puppy while we were there. When I first brought in the donation in they seemed nice & appreciative, but when I asked to go in their demeanor seemed to change. We asked to see a puppy and the guy seemed annoyed (he walked back & forth past us a bunch of times and didn'teven acknowledge me). He had to get someone else and she also seemed annoyed that I was asking to see a puppy, or even speaking to her. I even pointed one out and she just kind of stood there and made me feel really awkward, so I eventually just said nevermind and left.
Really great place. I haven't adopted a dog from them yet but they have a very nice set up for greeting the dogs. The cat area is pretty spectacular, kittens are mostly kept separate from larger cats in large temporary holding pens. With a private 1 on 1 room and also a full cat room for the adults. You can watch them interact and play with them before adding a friend to your family. You can tell the volunteers who have been there awhile and the new ones, but you can always tell they love the animals.
Walter “Winston” will be a part of our lives for two years next year, and the amount of joy he has brought to our small family because of the Humane Society in Bearden is unmatched. Adopting him was affordable and easy. Everyone there was kind and encouraging, but allowed me to make the best decision (which was adoption). I’m so grateful for this humane society for taking such great care of him before we brought him home.
This is a group of people that you can tell not only care about animals but also the people they work with. I have recently had to surrender a dog, and although the Humane Society couldn't take my dog, one of the employees took me aside and talked me through my situation and my options. I didn't know how much I needed just someone to help and they offered a listening ear and comforting words. They helped me so much and will be always be grateful.
