Long story short, our dog Remedy ended up at the Humane Animal Rescue. From the time we got in contact with them and brought her home, the staff was nothing short of amazing! They genuinely care and took such amazing care of our pup. Remedy was provided with the utmost best care. She was spayed, chipped, and given vaccines. Though we wish different circumstances led us to Humane Animal Rescue, we are so blessed that we encountered them and their services. Our dog is now back home, and we will be utilizing their care clinic. Thank you, Humane Animal Rescue.

We had THE BEST experience. Sarah was our adoption advocate. Her co-worker’s name is escaping me, but she was fantastic as well. She had ‘meow’ and ‘woof’ tattoos on her hands 😊. They are dedicated, caring, kind individuals that obviously chose the right profession. I will not go anywhere else to adopt a pet. We ended up taking home two! Thank you Sarah and the humane society. Cannot say enough good things about this agency.

Fantastic animal shelter. It's very clean and well thought out and all the staff was very friendly and helpful. Each cat has their own space that has a see through glass top portion and a small open gated section at the bottom for interactions. You're able to visit with cats in private rooms before adopting. When you ask to visit with an animal, they also retrieve all the information they have on that animal (behavior, age, medical conditions, and additional staff or past owner write ups) and print it out for you to read through which is very thoughtful.

My family was placed with a very difficult decision and they were the only facility that would help us without questions or wait. The level of professionalism, kindness and compassion the employees shared with us was above and beyond. They took time to talk with us, to sort out possible options and provided comfort & support when it was determined there were no other options. And they made a heartbreaking situation more bearable. Thank you, we are forever grateful for everything!

They were Amazing on so many levels when We had to put our Senior Dog Coffee down & set Us foot prints along with a Card. I am still so grateful for the facility and the people that work there.

I hope the rescue and future pet owners read this. Just a warning from experienced cat and dog owners. This is a tad long, not spoken out of hate but important. My boyfriend and I recently went here to find a kitten to bond with my little over a year female cat. We preferred a female to bond with her since it might be an easier transition for her but we’re open to a male if he fit what we wanted for a bonding pair. We first went to the North Side, Humane Society and found a male kitten of which we considered but wanted to check other places first. They recommended that we go to the Hamilton Ave, Humane Animal Society since they had female kittens which could interest us. We found one that was perfect there. Our kitten was labeled as a female. They told us they would do a spay surgery after the adoption. They called us 20 minutes after we left after the next day and told us about his neuter surgery.This is the right kitten btw we checked. This was disappointing to us since he was mislabeled everywhere in his paperwork and shelter. We tried to call them a few times after the fact to just address our concern about what we went though but unfortunately they acted rude and said this it is easy to miss mix up and we can return him. As experienced pet owners of past dogs and cats, at 2/3 months of age which he was labeled, this should be addressed different. We are not that type of people to return pets for any reason so that will not happen and we are happy with him since he chose us as well. We just wanted to express our concerns as experienced pet people to future pet parents. Luckily, my female seems to be slowing adapting to him in the last couple days as he is kept in another room for the moment for the beginning bond experience. This could have been a very different experience if we had a male cat and male kitten. We understand that these places are run a lot by volunteers and you want the pets adopted to awesome families. Information should be clear as possible though. Overall, the lady who helped us in the shelter and the surgery manager were very kind, respectful, and supportive. We also had good experience here besides mislabeled issue. We hope to help future pet parents just to check the gender fully so nothing happens with your fur babies. Here is Oliver (which we changed since he is a male). He is sweet and very vocal. :) The first picture is bit blurry since he had cat zoomies that night haha. Added some new ones of him when he got adjusted to my fur baby and our home.
