This non profit is a great place to get pets. They are no kill and are a huge asset to Bonner…read moreSprings. They take all the pets from animal control and get them to great homes for simply the cost of the vet care. They are at the Shawnee Petsmart every Saturday for adoption events.

We adopted our cat, Meeny (from the litter of Eeny, Meeny, Miney, and Moe), about 3 years ago in…read moreDecember from Bonner Animal Rescue. She was adopted once before and brought back because the family had too young of kids for a 4 month old kitty. We found Meeny at a PetSmart event that Bonner Animal Rescue was at and I fell in love. I couldn't stop thinking about that sweet kitty that I knew I was going to bring home some day and be her forever home. About 2 weeks later, we called the shelter, set an appointment, and went to the appointment ready to give a kitty her forever home and the volunteers were very nice, passionate, and most of all they loved volunteering! We were there for about an hour visiting with Meeny making sure she was the right fit for us and 5 minutes later we were signing papers. After we signed papers, we left without a cat knowing that the next day, we would have a spoiled-rotten cat that loves chicken, and went to the store and got everything she would need and went home to get everything set up for her to enter her new life! When we went back the next day to pick up our kitty, she was all ready to go and all that was left was to pick her up and get things finalized. Meeny had a little bit of a scare, she thought I looked like a dog with my hat on and she got so scared she hissed and peed on one of the owners. When I took my hat off, she was all lovey again and she was ready to go. We also had another scare with a bell she was unfamiliar with and we went all around the shelter trying to find where Meeny, a tiny kitten, had gone. We brought out some "cookies" (treats) and she came right back. Meeny was our perfect match for our small family. If you are in the Bonner area and are wanting to adopt or foster a sweet, innocent animal(s) or want to volunteer or donate, go to Bonner Animal Rescue!!

This place is without a doubt the most responsible animal shelter/rescue organization that I have…read moreencountered. I work full time as a veterinary technician and have 3.5 years experience in pet rescue, so I've seen my fair share of organizations in this field. I currently live in Austin, TX which is the largest no-kill city in the U.S. and still the HSGKC is as good as it gets. I adopted my rottweiler/shepherd mix, Hailey, from here almost 4 years ago. At this point in my life I had little to no animal experience. I had submitted my application online and came into the shelter later that week to meet the particular dog (not Hailey) I was hoping to adopt. I was advised by an adoption counselor over the phone that this particular dog may not be the best fit for me as my only experience with dogs was a generally friendly family dog I grew up with. I pushed back against their advice and INSISTED that I meet that particular dog. Upon meeting the dog at the shelter my adoption counselor, Kathleen, went into tremendous detail on what kind of things I can expect from this dog. I was also educated on what I would need to do as an owner to help set this dog up for success. At this point I realized I would be getting in over my head with this particular dog and was preparing to leave disappointed. A couple of very helpful volunteers were assisting at this point too. One of them asked me why I liked that particular dog so much and my (uneducated) answer was, "I like german shepherds!" even though at this point I wasn't even entirely sure what that entailed. After taking the time to get to know me, and honoring my request...they brought out the "next best thing" (which really really was the next best thing!!!) and I met Hailey. I had prejudged this dog (Hailey) because she was a rottweiler mix. The only shepherd looking thing about this dog to me (at the time) was the brown in her hair coat. Since I had very very little experience with dogs I had assumed that rottweilers were mean, vicious, "could possibly eat you alive" dogs. After about a minute and a half in the play yard my ignorant stupidity was crushed. This rottweiler beast had everything (I didn't know) I wanted in a dog: family friendly, dog friendly, fairly basic manners. So basically, "I met Hailey and the rest was history!" But really, the time, care, and effort the staff and volunteers here take in adopting out their pets is remarkable. They are not quick to push adoptions onto people. They make sure to carefully evaluate the detailed applications to ensure that the owner (and the pet) are matched perfectly. This shelter's focus is definitely quality over quantity. They don't have as high of an intake volume as many other shelters but I believe this is a responsible and caring thing they are doing for the pets. Had they not been careful and really taken the time to educate me I would've walked out with a dog that I couldn't handle. Instead, they took they time to find out what it was that I was really looking for and matched me with the dog that was the best fit. Since they don't have high volumes the staff and volunteers can really get to know their animals so they can make perfect fits like this happen. The two volunteers that helped me that day knew Hailey EXTREMELY well, and you could tell by Hailey's interaction with them. I am very grateful for the HSGKC for pairing me with the best fit dog! Hailey has well exceeded my expectation from what I wanted from a dog. We have lived in Austin for 3.5 years now and still go back to visit HSGKC when we are in town. Last time we visited (about a year ago) one of her volunteers got to say hi to her. It was amazing to see her reaction when she saw him, you can tell these volunteers leave lasting impacts on these pets. This is the only place I would feel 100% confident in when adopting a pet! **Also noteworthy, Hailey had distemper and HSGKC did all of her medical treatment and still brought her into their program.

Very easy to schedule via email. Prompt response in scheduling. Thanks for all that you do!read more
