This review if for the cat area, as I didn't see where the dogs were kept. The cats all hang out in 2 adjoining rooms, one of which is a good size outdoor covered patio. So they can go back and forth whenever they feel like it, and they're not confined to little cages, which is pretty awesome. The staff seemed really nice too, which is always a plus. I would definitely come back here when I'm ready to add to my kitty family.

Over the years I have adopted many best friends from the Skagit Valley Humane Society and every…read moreexperience was a positive one. They are a no kill shelter. Since our area has a high adoption rate, this facility takes out of state dogs from over crowded shelters. What an incredible program! You can find dogs from California, Texas, all over. The new facility is clean, well setup and bright. The animals are all well cared for and the staff is very friendly. They were honest about any issues they had observed with the dogs & had temperament tested them, I really appreciated that. Coming into the shelter at an older age and with several (treatable) medical conditions, some shelters would have chosen to put the two old gals I recently adopted down, I am forever grateful Skagit did not. They are full of energy (I guess no one told them they are old) & joy. Every day is better with them as my companions. Thank you Skagit Humane Society staff and volunteers for all you do!

I went to the Humane Society of Skagit Valley a few weeks ago hoping to adopt a dog. The front desk…read morestaff was really friendly and helpful -- they took their time and pointed me toward some sweet dogs that seemed like a good match. While I was there, I noticed a little pug and asked about her. They told me she wasn't available for adoption. I could see why -- her butt was prolapsed and there was liquid poop and blood all over her kennel. She was panting, whining, and frantically trying to get out. It was really upsetting to see. I spoke with the manager, who told me not to worry, that they had it under control and the dog was fine. I left feeling terrible. I came back a few days later and the poor pug was still in the same condition -- prolapse, bloody diarrhea, the whole thing. She still looked miserable. I'm really concerned that they don't have the animals' best interest at heart. A prolapsed rectum is painful, and there was clearly blood coming from her. I just don't understand how a person could look at that and think it's okay to leave her like that. This experience has me seriously questioning the level of care the animals are getting. I wanted to support the shelter, but I left feeling heartbroken and worried. I'm still looking to adopt a dog, but after this experience I don't feel confident adopting from here.

They have put a lot of thought into providing the best care for dogs; music in the kennel room, private rooms for dogs that need them, prioritizing special needs dogs getting into foster homes and out of the kennel environment They even go above and beyond by spending time training dogs and puppies in their agility room. Their social media pages follow a few of the same dogs which just shows the dedication the members at Homeward have to maximizing the amount of people to see their adoptable pups. The quality and the passion truly show at Homeward. I am grateful for my dog and the people that took such good care of him at Homeward when he was there.

I've been to several shelters in the past year to adopt and it's been up and down. I went here on a Saturday after work and brought home my fur ever baby girl. I'm a proud happy fur mom . This is the happiest day of my life . I cried so many tears of joy when I was able to adopt my new female dog. I named her Sasha. Previously known as Oldsmobile. Sasha is the absolute sweetest girl ever. Sasha is what my heart needed. As a puppy she is very smart. Introducing to crate has been fairly well. Eating wow this girl can eat, run, do sprints around the house, yard and is super excited. I am too lol. Potty training is going very well in the morning she wakes me up with kisses to say she has to go and stands by door we go out. We have a routine. Totally recommend Homeward Per adoption to everyone. You will never be disappointed. The accept donations from you if your pet has passed away, been surrendered or you just want to donate, food, toys, supplies for dogs and cats. Well, I could continue to give praises all day. Gotta go mommy duty is calling.

They are also well-taken care of by the staff and have a lot of land to roam around on. Also has other animals to see like alligators, birds, skunk, mountain lions, turtles and much more.

Trugoal Puppy Services…read more I recently read a negative review of Trugoal puppy Services. In the review It stated that the puppies where puppy mill dogs. In his defence and have adopted a puppy from Trugoal, I did months of looking around he was courteous and helpful in every way. He also provided me with several references which all where very happy with their puppy. In fact, my puppy did have an unforseen vet bill and Trugoal voluntarily paid the deductible on my insurance without hesitation. While some people may have an axe to grind, why not check with a credible source like the spca (which is what I did), they told me that they had visited Turgoal on Serveral occassions and have always found their facility to be exemplary. Have they had complaints..YES and when they where investigated the complaints where found to have had no merit. I have also been to the facility in Chilwack and there are no cages of any kind. It is a resort like situaition, not a puppy mill of ahy kind. People, let's keep are criticism in perspective and not say hurtful things unless we are certain that what we are saying is in deed true. PS We are now considering getting a second puppy ( guess that says it all).
