Great staff, clean facility. Lots of volunteers active and helping with all the fur kids that are waiting for their forever homes.
Awesome place. When it comes to caring and helping animals, this place has heart for these animals.
Adopted our sweet girl Molly here yesterday. They were so helpful and friendly; very easy process. 2 page application takes up to 24 hours to review. $130 adoption fee included spay and immunizations. The place was clean and orderly with some hard working volunteers. Their website is not current since puppies go so fast they said; best just to call ahead and ask what is available.
Adopted my sweet cat Perry from here. Great services. He'll need a buddy soon. Thanks!
My husband and I adopted a puppy from the humane society last weekend and he is such a joy and a blessing to our home. The staff was very professional and the facility was very clean. The animals were taken care of and volunteers were working to ensure they have great care . Thank you for our new puppy we love him so much already !!!
If you find a stray kitten don't expect them to adopt it out, they kill their animals they're NOT a NO KILL shelter. The officer is mean and their excuse is "its cat season".
It was to my understanding that they would take in my dog Gordy for "Operation: Spay Bay" to have him neutered and up-to-date. Granted, we didn't already have an appointment made but that was THE WHOLE DAMN POINT! Truthfully, I don't even want to part with him, it's just that we can't take the dogs whenever we are actually able to go home. They lied to us!
I HATE THIS PLACE!
Nothing but garbage!
I really love the hard work and dedication of this shelter to serve the homeless pets of Bay Co. Clean facilities and loving staff.
Wonderful, helpful group committed to matching great dogs with proper owners. We were VERY impressed.
Very pleasant experience and staff made me feel comfortable about putting up 2 kittens for adoption. Clean and professional.
I have adopted seven wonderful pets from the Humane Society over the past eighteen years, each time was a pleasurable experience all the way from dealing with the staff and volunteers and their assistance in helping me choose the perfect addition to my family by guiding me through the "igloo" and calling just about every animal by name without having to look at the information sheets attached to the cages. My first visit is what I think made me a repeat adopter. I remember seeing on the news that there were some overcrowding issues along with funding, staff and volunteer shortages. However, even functioning with basically no budget, very few paid employees and not very many volunteers they tried to give everyone that walked through the door the same amount of attention, because they were all there for the same two reasons: the love of animals and to find these sweet animals a new forever home. You could truly tell that the people working and volunteering actually loved what they were doing. Even with the constant echo of barking dogs, meowing cats and occasionally a squawking parrot they never lost their calm polite demeanor. This is probably the biggest reason they have quite a few returning "parents" looking to expand their families with a new "baby".
So, if you are considering expanding your family, make the Humane Society of Bay County your first stop. They have a wonderful website now that shows you all of the amazing pets that they have ready to become the newest member of your family but nothing beats going to see them in person. If you are torn between purchasing a "new" pet or adopting a "used" one, I type from experience when I say that you will be just as happy if not happier by adopting. Most shelter animals, dogs especially, are more often than not already housebroken and when their previous owners surrender them they normally tell the shelter the reason, a lot in Bay County is simply due to the Air Force and Navy bases, which is sad for them but a great benefit to those of us looking to adopt because our Service Men & Women do outstanding training their pets. But even if it isn't a pet from them you will know if they housebroken, if they love children or other pets, if they walk well on a leash, know any tricks and my favorite, if they love night time walks along the beach!
