Our first experience with the Chautauqua Humane Society was in 2017. We had recently lost our…read morebeloved dog of 17 years and knew we wanted and needed another dog. The staff was welcoming, supportive and understanding of our grief. They allowed us to view the adoptable dogs privately, there was no pressure. We saw a lot of options, but none seemed to fit our wish list of a puppy, female and German Shepherd mix. As we were leaving a staff member suggested we take one more walk with her. She pointed out a few dogs that might be a good fit but for one reason or another we said "No". When we reached the end of the hall, we stopped in front of a glass enclosed room. Three older dogs were playing, one stopped and locked eyes with my husband. The staff member said Snowball was 10 years old, a staff favorite and very shy around men. He had been abused by a man, so he tended to trust and make friends slowly. She asked if we would like to meet him. We agreed to meet him and were taken to an outdoor patio area. They brought Snowball in and he walked around the area and then climbed into my lap and started licking me. When I was thoroughly loved; he climbed in my husband's lap and proceeded to lick him. We knew we had found our forever dog. The adoption process was efficient, professional and personal. We were sent home with food, toys, a collar, leash, coupons and a dog that was a perfect fit for our family. We can't thank the people at Chautauqua Humane Society enough; their compassion and patience helped us find the perfect dog. Snowball is loved and has found his forever home. Our second interaction with the Chautauqua Humane Society was in 2019-2020. In 2019 we noticed 3 feral cats on our property. The cats were young, so we fed them. We soon realized we had the start of a feral colony. 3 female cats soon became 3 cats and 10 kittens. We reached out to the Humane Society for advice and help. They suggested we try to socialize the kittens for future adoption and get on the list for the spay and neuter clinic. This was a very stressful time for us, we felt a responsible for the cats and helpless at the same time. The staff called to check on us, they offered support, invited us to meetings on the feral cat problem in this area and always made us feel like we were not alone. Trapping feral cats is not easy and there were times we felt like we would never succeed. The staff always encouraged us and showed genuine happiness when we "got another one". Our colony is no longer growing, every cat has been spayed and neutered. We can't say enough about the staff, they are friendly, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring. We recommend them highly for pet adoptions, feral cat problems and animal advice. You won't find a more professional and caring group of individuals.
