We had been searching for another aussie when we spotted Clementine (formerly Calida) on Petfinder…read more She was heartworm positive and it said she had been found on the side of the road and was an absolute mess. We love a good mess at our house, so we knew we had to have her. Renee (the director of the Hillsdale Humane Society) was great. They do not answer their phones (my guess is staffing and volunteers are not plentiful), but when they do pick up, they are more than willing to share all the information they have. Renee told me all about Clem, her sweet personality and even offered to bring her with on Saturday to their adoption event so we could meet her. We agreed. We drove to Hillsdale on Saturday and had our other aussie, Wilhelmina, meet Clementine and we spoke to Renee a little more. Clementine still had one more heartworm treatment on the following Tuesday, so we arranged to pick Clem up on Wednesday afternoon. The application to adopt was a simple two page form, the fee is a straight forward $150 and is completely refundable for 14 days if anything goes wrong. Renee said on the rare chance dogs do get into their new homes and people find personalities don't mesh well, she would rather have people bring the animal back to Hillsdale for a full refund. We left confident that Renee would take good care of Clem until Wednesday and headed back home. On Wednesday we drove back down to Osseo and Clementine was ready to go. The whole process was unbelievably easy and the humane society building itself (we only went into the lobby) was very small, but there was a lovely fenced in outdoor yard and it was very clean. We would adopt from Hillsdale again without hesitation. **We did have Clementine checked out by our own vet on Friday and did discover that she has some fairly serious (and expensive) medical problems that need to be addressed before she can live a normal healthy life. As Clem is a part of our family, we are going to get her the treatment she needs so she can live a healthy and happy life. She is undergoing treatment for serious ear infections and skin infections and then once her heartworm treatment is over she will have surgery. We know she saw a vet multiple times while she was at the humane society and we fully believe her medical issues were overlooked by either an inexperienced or lazy veterinarian. The people at Hillsdale Humane Society are not veterinarians, they are kind people who are doing their very best to help as many animals as possible, so Clem's ignorned medical problems are the fault of the vet who treated her in Hillsdale.**

Okay, so I'm biased…read more I used to volunteer here when I lived in the area. That said, who would know better how awesome a place is than someone who worked "behind the scenes". This organization treats their animals amazingly and truly cares about each cat they take in. The rescue is not your typical animal shelter which feels dingy and depressing. The rooms are clean, decorated, and filled with activities to make the cats feel at home. I adopted my own cat from the rescue two years ago and the process was straightforward and smooth, landing me the most awesome cat ever. Their petfinder listings and website show photos of all their adoptable animals, and their facebook page is kept very up-to-date. In my opinion, NBAR sets the gold standard for what an animal rescue should be. Of note, NBAR only has cats at their building- I believe they work with a dog foster organization and can direct people to adoptable dogs.

I am so happy I stumbled across this organization when searching for my first dog with my husband…read more After reading our dog's description I instantly knew that this place is so dedicated to their animals. They take the time to get to know each dog so it is placed in the perfect situation. All the animals are fostered and given the proper upbringing while they wait to be adopted. They dedicate their own time and money because they truly love animals. Even after the dogs are adopted they still care about them and love updates. I am constantly recommending them to people in search of a great addition to their family! All my future dogs will be adopted through Misfits because they are a truly wonderful place!

However, I found a kitten that I fell in love with. I didn't want to make the decision without my fiance meeting the cat first, but he had to work until after the event was going to be over. The kitten had been in the store that past week, so they didn't want to leave him there again, but it was the only way my fiance would meet him. The Planned Pethood staff was wonderful and they ended up letting him stay at the store. I brought the fiance back that night and we took him home. Our kitten is the most wonderful thing in the world. Without Planned Pethood we wouldn't have found him!

They called today and said they have 5 other applications before me so I didn't get her. I asked how could they have 5 apps before me when I just saw her one hour before she got there. She paused for a little while and said people must've seen her on their website. I said that wasn't possible because when I looked at their website about 1/2 hour before I went there, she wasn't even ON their website. What a bunch of shit! I even told her yesterday that we adopted from a cat from there back in January of 2018. So my advice is DO NOT go to Monroe Humane Society. From other reviews I've read, this looks like a pattern.

When speaking to Glenda, she was concerned about my cat's age that would be her companion. (9). I explained my cat's behaviors and that I believed she needs a companion. Glenda, after explaining food the cat would like and checking my vet records, seemingly upset she hadn't been to the vet in 3 years, although she had an appointment for her due rabies vaccine that weekend. And when speaking to other veterinarians, they were stoked my indoor cat is so healthy I don't have to take her to the vet for more than her RV3. She then said my cat is too old. After speaking to our specific vet, he highly recommended a kitten companion for our cat. So we have adopted a kitten. I wouldn't recommend this shelter. They don't seem to want to adopt cats out to loving homes and string you along with prolonged communication.
