First thing is first - THIS IS NOT THE BLOOMINGTON ANIMAL SHELTER. The Humane Association does not…read moreoperate a shelter and does NOT adopt out animals. Occasionally they help out the Animal Shelter but otherwise they are COMPLETELY separate entities. Ignore 1-star reviews that talk about animal adoptions - they are not for this organization!!! --- I've been going to the Humane Association for over a year now for my three fur-babies and they've been wonderful each and every time! The workers are very friendly and understanding, willing to hold checks until I get paid and very accommodating. The facilities themselves are cleaner than many private vet offices I've been in - no urine or poo anywhere, which I know can be difficult in a busy vet office! Sometimes the wait can be a little longer than is ideal, but this isn't the fault of the Humane Association - they have limited funds/staff/space, so they depend on their patients to be efficient and on time! If they got a good donation or source of income, with a bigger facility I'm sure it'd be a speedy process every time! I came in a month ago with my year old cat, Theo, who had been peeing around the house for several weeks. I was at my wits end and had tried everything! The on-staff vet sat with me for over half an hour, listening to my concerns and past test results and gave me her opinion but multiple other options. We decided to put Theo on anti-depressants (her recommendation) and he's suddenly acting like a kitten again! They made a process I was worried about into an almost enjoyable one (let's be honest, no one really enjoys taking their pet to the vet!) and easy at that. Prices are way more affordable than any private clinic in town. I've paid north of $300 at some vets for the same thing the Humane Association charges me $50 for - it's a clear choice! Plus, Peanut, the CEO of Office Complaints/Office Kitty, is pretty fabulous as well.

I needed to get my newly adopted puppies vaccinated for leptospirosis quick because I live on a…read morerural creek property with much wildlife risk. The fastest option I could find was a vaccine clinic run through the Monroe County Humane Association, where they received a first leptospirosis shot from Jim Koch. I hustled them into the car and spent the entire day driving them from Terre Haute to make sure they were protected. However, no one told me a booster was required. Nothing was printed, nothing was on the receipt, and nothing was said verbally even though I presented the shelter vaccination records with at check in. I ASKED what other shots they needed. Nothing. As a result, my dogs were under-protected for months on a creek property where exposure risk is high, and now they have to be revaccinated to catch up. In other words, they were almost certainly exposed when protection mattered most and are now receiving additional doses afterward and at more expense. When I contacted the executive director of the Humane Association, he vaguely said the information had been "available," but could not explain where it had been provided or in what format. Instead of addressing the issue, the response shifted toward suggesting I was criticizing their mission. That misses the point entirely. If a clinic is going to administer vaccinations, owners should leave knowing exactly what boosters are required and when, especially when you present your records and then ask. Otherwise, you're not helping/protecting animals, rather you're creating avoidable exposure risk and animals also over vaccinated too.
