Went to get another cat for my daughter. We already have a cat, and have owned several cats, dogs,…read morerats, guinea pigs and even ferrets. All of our pets have been loved and treated like family. Went to fill out paperwork for adopting a cat, but they wouldn't let us have one as we would let it outside. Really? Our cat cat goes outside, roams the fenced backyard, does her outside business and comes back. They wouldn't let us adopt because we already have an indoor/outdoor cat? When we went to their space on Trent, it seemed as if most of their cats had "kitty colds" and were told it was going around the facility. I commend the idea of animal foster parents, but they seem a bit rigid. They didn't even try to get to know us. Good job driving away responsible owners. Good luck to all the future cat ladies.

They euthanize animals and blatantly lie about where donations go. If you sponsor an animal they'll…read moretell you the money goes to that animal. It doesn't. And if an animal is cute and draws lots of sponsors they won't tell the donors when it gets adopted. They'll milk that puppy or kitten for all it's worth, never telling anyone it's been adopted for the last year. They avoid taking animals to the vet for necessary things, even if the animal is in pain. They don't like to spend money on the animals. And I've personally seen them leave the vaccines on top of the refrigerator all day long and then go ahead and use them. (Once the vaccines reach room temperature they are no longer effective. They MUST be kept refrigerated.) And volunteers steal microchips and vaccines for their own pets. All around a dishonest, unethical group.

I took my 6 month feral rescue kitten for neutering and dropped him off at 7:45 AM. I received a…read morecall at 3PM stating that surgeries were running late and that I could come by to pick him up at 5:15PM. The cat seemed to be very sedated as he was just out of surgery only about 2 hours earlier. At home he was very lethargic throughout the evening and incontinent of urine. I observed him carefully until midnight when he seemed to be more alert but still wobbly and sitting motionless in an odd position. By the morning he was pretty much back to his normal self and the surgical wound appeared to be clean without any discharge or bleeding. I understand that they are a busy clinic however I assume that my cat was probably over medicated and that the post op observation period is too short for animals that didn't get operated on until the late afternoon. One should take this into consideration when balancing the cost savings

I've supported the Spokane Humane Society for years. Ever since that day when we fostered four…read morepuppies that were abandoned on the side of the road. Our experience with the organization has always been friendly and professional. They were very concerned about the safety of the puppies and, as we had been volunteers with them, they allowed us to foster for longer than four weeks to help the puppies trust people again. From that time on, we have fostered on and off for more than 12 years at least. I'm so grateful for this organization and how they care for the animals that Somehow end up at the Humane Society through no fault of their own.

I'm looking at the lower end of reviews for SHS. I can tell you from someone who, until, yesterday…read morefostered cats with them. I think that the potential for them to be good is lost in internecine battles. I was let loose as a foster which means that I was on the losing end. I fostered from August of 2025 until now, January 2026. I don't know why - I got a phone call on a shoddy cell from 'Kim' and I was expecting it. I *think* I'm going to be adopting a cat with colon cancer. But, I asked too many questions. What i experienced with SHS was this: The charity extends. And then it doesn't. I fostered a high maintenance cat. I'm still not sure if we'll see him again or not. But, according to the call from Kim (that I couldn't hear very well), this is all about some 'lab tests.' As a foster, I am giving my time, my love and my patience. If that's not appreciated, I'm glad that my SHS account page is no longer there. My major concern is for this cat. I have no idea if we'll see him again and, well, I think we need that cat, 'Zoe' but we call him 'Simon.' again. Hey, it's what it is. If SHS faults me, I've got tons of emails and texts that prove otherwise. But, right now, I am really wondering about Simon. So, my star value for Spokane Humane Society is based on one thing - it's about the animals. My experience indicates that this is NOT about the animals with SHS but they can always hire posters to refute me. So, you guys get a 1 from me. Honestly, if I could've given you a negative number, that would have been it. This is not about the ego of a foster coordinator. It's about the animals. Get a clue.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This morning, on my way to work, I passed a large dog on the…read moreside of the road, leaning against a fence. There was no safe place to stop--this stretch of road has no shoulder, no turnouts, and heavy traffic--so I immediately contacted the SCRAPS emergency line to report the situation. I provided the exact location, described the dog's condition, and emphasized the danger: the animal was positioned in a way that suggested it could easily be struck by a vehicle or, worse, run into the roadway and cause a serious accident. Despite the clear risk to both the dog and drivers on a 45+ mph road, I was kept on the phone for 15 minutes only to be told that "they would look into it later because it wasn't an emergency." This response is unacceptable. Situations like this are precisely why many people hesitate to call for help, and why so many animals end up injured or killed by vehicles or left to suffer after being hit. An emergency line should treat imminent danger--whether to humans or animals--with urgency, not dismissal

We go home and they called and said that the vet wanted to talk about Sadie. She had a lump on her jaw. We got everything taken care of. I told her that I wanted to be there since I watched her be born. The vet said no at first because of the chemicals they were using. I told her that I watched her be born. The excuse changed to she didn't want her staff to deal with me holding her during her last moment. That one denial was the hardest thing I've been through. I wish I could bill them for the year and half of counseling I had to go through. We had her cremated and returned to us. I get there to pick up her remains. I tell them that I was there to pick up her ashes and all they did was set the bag with her ashes and memorial box on the counter and went back to talking with one of the techs. I had been taking her there for almost 12 years and had nothing had no problems with her office. The experience we had with Sadie was beyond traumatic. I no longer refer her.
