The staff were friendly and helpful and our pet loki was fully vaccinated and neutered and provided us with several toys for him.
These are the best people in the world, caring for the sweetest animals in the world. Thank you JoAnne and everyone involved for helping us bring Scout into our home and our family. He is the warmest, most wonderful little guy we could ever have been able to hope for after losing our last pupper to a cancer battle in June. We didn't think we could love another so quickly, and this is our first adoption, but Scout is the love of our lives. He sleeps with us every night, always has lots of hugs and kisses, is always a gentleman. He will always have all the love he needs with us. He is a treasure. Thank you all so very much!
I adopted Toeby (the brown tabby originally named Nick) last year around September. I went in originally inquiring about a kitten but decided Toeby, a toothless, chatty, senior kitty needed my home more.
Toeby was incredibly kind and loving. He had some minor litter issues that were promptly resolved after changing the type of litter we used. He was in overall good health for his age and condition and is doing great. He is an old kitty and does need to see the vet a few times a year to get blood work but he is still perfect.
HCHS is amazing. The adoption process was smooth, I was able to visit with the cats and talk with staff. I only had to wait a few days after I filled out the application for them to contact my references, and I was able to easily bring Toeby to his forever home.
When you adopt an animal from a shelter you are accepting responsibility for that animal as soon as you bring it home. Sometimes animals will have unknown health conditions, sometimes they will have a behavioral issue that needs mending. You are accepting the possibility that you will need to conquer those issues and provide a safe and loving home to this animal. The staff here do everything they can, please be considerate and responsible when adopting. The work they provide is not easy, animals AND staff need support and respect to continue helping this community.
People that were very nasty to my wife are the worst. Just because we had to give up one of our cats. We have a baby at home and it was to much for my wife. I will not be do any business with them again.
Herkimer County Humane Society was the best shelter I visited when I was looking for a cat. They were professional and friendly, and had the best cat room by far! After several visits, I picked Miss Emily Pickles. She’d had surgery on one eye to remove an ulcer, and she has some problems with her other eye, but that doesn’t bother her. She’s fond of chasing things I can’t even see. If you’re looking to adopt, I recommend HCHS. And consider an animal that’s less than perfect. I did, and soon found out she IS perfect!
Every single person was amazing. Thank you Noni for everything!! Duke is extremely happy to be home and Charlie approved!!
I went to adopt a cat. I ended up getting 2. The staff were friendly and helpful. I have been to other animal adoption places and the staff have been outright mean. All of the animals appeared well taken care of. Please remember that if you have not filled out an application and been preapproved you probably will not be walking out with an animal on the day you visit. It's best to get your application in to them before you get your heart set on a specific pet. And I had to contact them with some questions after I adopted. They were friendly and helpful with all my questions. I can not say enough about all they are doing to help animals.
Chase the German Shepherd we picked up a couple weeks ago is doing great he's filled in gain weight we're working on teaching him new things
