We adopted Sammy, a 4 1/2 year old cat, in December. We drove 10 hours from Florida to adopt him as…read morewe KNEW he was meant for us! This Shelter is the best we have seen in our 40+ years of adopting pets! Clean, efficiently run, well organized and truly caring staff. They went out of their way to ensure that this "long distance" adoption took place. Sammy was in great condition and he easily adapted to a long car ride and a new home. We feel as if he has been with us forever.

Our cat disappeared awhile back and we went here to check if someone picked him up, the staff seemed genuinely concerned and gave us great tips to help find our missing cat. Very sweet and helpful people.

This shelter is all right. I wish they could update their website with all the current pets and…read moretheir pictures a little more, but then again, animal turnover can be high, and they're a non-profit with limited resources. So just be aware that there may be more animals at the LCHS than shown on the website. We adopted a cat from the LCHS a few years ago, and she captured our hearts and was just the best companion. The shelter isn't huge, but the facilities are a step up from the old location on 280, where I volunteered back in the stone ages. From recent visits, I love how you're able to freely interact with the cats and kittens (not sure about dogs), and they also pipe in music for the felines. When we adopted our cat, we weren't able to adopt the same day since the adoption coordinator was out but I'm not sure how it is now. Anyway, adopt a shelter pet!!!!

Negative -10 review these fuckers owe me stars…read more I've tried calling Paw Humane Society numerous times, and it is almost impossible to get anyone to pick up the phone or respond. No matter which line you try, there's never an answer. I even reached out about a stray dog that needed help, and nobody came out. It's extremely frustrating, especially considering the fact that they just had a big revamp and promote themselves heavily with events like "Bark for Blues" festivals to get dogs adopted. They clearly put effort into marketing, but when it comes to the basic responsibility of answering calls and helping the community, they are failing. This organization needs to get its priorities straight.

They always seem overworked and like they need more staff in the 10 or more years I've been going there, and they almost never answer their phones so it's very hard to ask questions or make an appointment. I wonder how many more people they could reach if they just answered their phones (clinic side especially, rescue side is a smidge better)?! Heck I'll do it, I'd even take minimum wage to do it. FYI they only take animals in from the Animal Control next door, so owner surrenders or found animals have to go through Animal Control. I found this kitten in Jason's Deli parking lot emaciated and missing an eye but mewing and coming up to us for help. We named him Ragetti and called the rescue to tell them how absolutely sweet he was, and they told us to surrender him to Animal Control then call them so they can pick him up. Animal Control said they would normally euthanize injured feral cats, but I insisted he was sweet to everyone and deserved a chance and stayed until PAWS picked him up! After they fixed his eye we visited him at the shelter as he gained weight so he would stay socialized and sweet, and he was adopted within a couple of weeks !

Although this facility is staffed by caring people, there are just not enough hands to go around. They are always recruiting volunteers to help with their many programs. Please volunteer to help onsite or around the community. Check out their Facebook page to see the opportunities available!! You can also easily donate food to the shelter via Amazon. Quick and easy contribution !! Also, and this is weird, Yelp did not post a comment by the Humane Society to clarify their mission. It is below the other comment and grayed out.

Extremely rude and unprofessional.

LAUGHED in our face after my mom said the cat had a good life then continued to tell us that the cat didn't have a good life and made us seem like terrible cat owners. I am honestly surprised that the employee Monique is still in hire due to her terrible attitude. Hopefully the cat we walked in to adopt finds a nice family because clearly we were not good enough for them. I would also like to add that my family and I are extreme cat owners and the cat would have had a WONDERFUL life.
