I visited the shelter today with the intention of adopting a dog. Upon arrival, I was informed that…read morevisitors may only view up to three dogs and that all adoption paperwork must be completed before meeting any animals. While my own paperwork was in order, my roommate was informed that she had outstanding licensing fees related to a dog that has since passed away. Because of this issue, we were not permitted to view any dogs available for adoption. I understand the importance of policies and administrative requirements, but I left disappointed that a paperwork matter prevented us from even meeting dogs that need homes. As someone genuinely interested in providing a loving home to a shelter animal, it was frustrating to feel that procedural requirements took priority over facilitating adoptions. I hope the shelter will consider whether its policies strike the right balance between administrative compliance and helping animals find suitable homes.

After the passing of our ten year old golden retriever, I was eager to foster as my husband and I…read moretook the time to think about the next member of our family. I called to inquire and was sent the foster and adoption paperwork. As a homeowner, the turnaround time for my paperwork to be approved was a matter of hours. When I called to ask about meeting some of the adoptable dogs, they let me know that I could meet up to three dogs during a one hour appointment. My first visit was great, and I met three wonderful dogs. Shelter staff does temperament testing and each dog we met had adorable traits. I had an idea right away regarding the dog I was drawn to. I made a second visit up to the shelter to spend one hour with the one dog I couldn't stop thinking about. I enjoyed a nice visit with her in a back room of the shelter. Staff was so kind and offered me brushes to use on the pup during our visit. The third time I went to the shelter was to pick her up to foster her, and it only took five days for me to make the adoption official. I am so grateful for the tender care that the animals receive during their interim time before they find their forever homes. It's apparent that staff truly care about the work they do, and I'm grateful for them. I couldn't be happier with my experience there.

I cannot speak highly, enough about this organization. They are a non-profit, no kill shelter. They…read morerely on donations to keep them going. They take care of animals. They are protecting animals' health and well-being. The Humane Society!is not a pet store (who sells animals nor matter who you are or what your plans are with that animal). This organization does not exist to appease to your specific situation or give you a break. THEY RESCUE ANIMALS. And... before they allow you to adopt (especially dogs) they will check you out, check out your space and if they deem you "unfit" you probably are! They are picky for a good, reason. They will also NOT take in somebody's pet who is trying to unload a problem, animal that does not fit into their family and probably, nowhere else! I cannot speak lowly enough of the people who have punished this impeccable organization with their petty and meaningless reviews. They should be ashamed of themselves with their lopsided, complaints. I hope these cry-babies are eventually judged and criticized for being the ugly, entitled, self-serving humans they indicate to anybody unfortunate enough to have read their STUPID Pointless, comments that really got my goat! This organization deserves no less than a five star review from everybody they've helped and rescued. Please, pay no attention to those sour-grapes reviews. Sequioa Humane Society might have administrative and or communication challenges like every business (although I've not seen this). Maybe they are not perfect in that respect. However, their mission and vision is beyond, reproach.

I used this rescue service because my husband had passed away. I needed to leave a toxic/abusive…read moresituation and there was no way I was going to leave my two dogs behind and I was desperate. The owner, Shannon had come to the rescue for my two dogs, which I was very grateful. It was an extremely heart wrenching thing for me to do as I had raised my dogs since they were puppies. I didn't have the means to keep them or a safe environment for them anymore. My dogs were not strays I found on the street. I think about them everyday and hope they're ok. Hence my problem with this rescue. The only updates I got were when I texted Shannon, which felt forced and made me uncomfortable. Very vague about the adopters who have my dogs now. I was hoping to get more info on the adopters (and exchanging info with each other) and updates now and then with a pic or two. I think this rescue should be more empathetic to people in my situation and take into consideration how hard it was to do what I had to do in the first place.

I was taking my dog here to use the self serve bath. I had good experiences until the last time I…read morewent there. I was treated rudely by three young women I had never seen there before. Despite the fact that I paid extra for shampoo because I really liked the shampoo they sell, they kept giving me bottles with 99% water diluted shampoo. Upon request for an alternative bottle I was told, "That's just how it is." And "it's diluted." Yes very diluted. Don't waste your money. I suggest you use the self use dog spa in Arcata where they are friendly and never dilute the shampoo and try to gaslight you into paying for a bottle of water. I will never return to this pet store.

They supported my partner and I though the entire process as well during his last appointments. Our Bandit was in great hands throughout all of his appointments at this clinic. They answered all questions we had and made caring for our boy easy. After he left us the clinic took nose and paw prints for us, chose a beautiful box for his ashes and mailed us a stone with his name engraved, all from the kindness of their hearts. Thank you Sunnybrae Animal Clinic for all your care! I continue to recommend this clinic for the other pets in our lives.

The first time I came to this clinic my dog had collapsed and they immediately took her back to…read morecheck on her. Within 5 minutes the clinician came back and said we need to euthanize with zero explanation as to why. It wasn't until they were already drawing the euthanasia into the needles that they explained there were tumors in her stomach and they had preformed an ultrasound to find them. She has had no history of this but I could see she was suffering so I agreed. When I was saying goodbye to my dog I've had since I was 10 years old they kept coming in asking if I was done yet. I was given 10 minutes to say goodbye to my dog of over a decade. They still charged the emergency visit fee on top of the cremation fee. I was out $700 and my best friend. There was no one else in the lobby waiting and they were still rushing me out. No sympathy to my situation, you'd think vets would be more compassionate to pet parents but no. The only reason i'm giving the two stars is because on another occasion, I needed to get my cat dewormed and the woman on the phone encouraged me to try a cheaper over the counter medication at a local pet store first, before paying for an appointment at their clinic.

While I'm gone, they text me with photos and updates on how my fur kids are doing which gives me the peace of mind to enjoy my time out of town. My pets have different feeding times and routines which HCS was more than happy to work around. We have one special needs cat as well who they had no problem caring for. I also spring for their service for watching my house as well. They stop by to bring in mail, open/close blinds, etc so even though we aren't home we're confident that no one thinks the house is empty. Anyone who uses Humboldt Critter Sitter will not only be happy with their services, but will know they never need to find help for their pets again. You can't get better than the best!
