My Nonprofit Reviews

I have adopted 3 cats from Shelby Humane Society over the last 7 years and they are fantastic. I began volunteering with the shelter in 2007. Since then, I have participated in several programs that Shelby Humane Society offers. This would include working at offsite adoption events, low cost vaccination/microchip clinics and the Shelter Partners program. The offsite adoption events help find loving homes for many dogs or cats. The low cost vaccination/microchip clinics and Quick Fix Spay/Neuter program have been a huge success in our communities. These two programs provide low cost options to residents who may not be able to afford the regular cost of the services provided. Not only will these services keep our community pets healthy but will also help with the pet overpopulation that we have. The Shelter Partners program transport dogs from our crowded shelter to shelters in New England where they have spay/neuter and pet license laws. Due to these laws being strictly enforced, they do not have the overpopulation that we have. Since this program began in 2006, over 4400 dogs have found a loving home in the north. I've had the opportunity to do one of the transports in which we carried 31 dogs to New Hampshire. When we got there, the receiving shelter only had 3-4 dogs up for adoption. They had adopters who were already approved and were waiting on our dogs to get there and be placed up for adoption. Within a week and a half, all of them found their new homes. If it were not for this program and the generous donors and volunteers, many dogs would not find a home of their own. I am proud to be associated with Shelby Humane Society and look forward to many more years with them. The communities in which they serve depend on them.
