I adopted Elaina (Jack Russell/Chihuahua) on February 9, 2026…read more I was told that there was no history on her. I'm pretty sure she was abused probably by a man because she's scared to death of my son. She's still skittish with me sometimes. The collar and harness she came with were too loose and she escaped five minutes after I got home. She ran up on the freeway. Luckily, a kind driver managed to catch her and returned her to Woods. I thought I would never see her again. She was lucky she didn't get run over and I'm lucky to have her back. I bought an escape proof harness and put a different collar on her which I made sure was snug enough to not slip over her head. I almost brought her back, thinking she would never warm up to me, but I'm glad I didn't. She scared to death of a leash or anything like the collar and harness. She finally warmed up to our other dog and they play all the time. She is very playful with me when she's not scared. It just takes a lot of patience when a dog like this. Woods must have known she was an escape risk because at Woods carried her out to my vehicle. Any other time I have gotten a dog from the shelter, I always took the dog out the door and to my vehicle. I just wish they could have warned me. It almost caused her to get killed on the freeway.

We've been a big fan of Woods Humane Society for a long time. We adopted our first dog together…read morefrom Woods about 15 years ago and they were great. Then we adopted a cat from them, their cat room is amazing. So nice to get out there and be able to actively interact with multiple cats and meet one that fits you. We now have adopted another dog from them. It is great that they keep getting animals from other shelters and adopting them out. Our new dog had some stomach issues, but everything was clearly disclosed on the records and they send you home with everything you could need. The free vet check is a really nice plus. We look forward to joining the classes for our new dog once she is fully healthy and cleared to go. We enjoy supporting them through donations as well because they do such a great job.

My wife and I were driving in the far-right lane, which we did not realize was ending, and we tried to merge to the left. We signaled a lane change, which is when the driver of the J Pet Sits vehicle sped up to block us. I just don't understand why they would feel the need to do this. I hope the company treats nonhuman animals better than they treat their fellow humans.

Michelle is a…read morelovely trainer - super knowledgable, thoughtful and takes the time to answer questions and explain things in further detail. The Puppy Social Hour is a great time for your puppy to socialize with other puppies around the same age (10 weeks to 5 months) while also learning basic commands with positive reinforcement, desensitization to loud noises/objects, etc. I highly highly recommend this training at Woods Humane!

What an awesome experience and addition to Woods! This was the first obedience class we've taken in…read morethe 12 years that we've had dogs (I suppose it shows!), so I didn't know what to expect. Michelle was very knowledgeable, encouraging, and supportive of each of our individual problem areas or goals. Energy is key, and hers was perfect for all of our training needs with Wild Man Woody! We are definitely signing up for the intermediate class!

This place is incredible. I want to especially give a special shout out and thanks to Annette who…read moregreeted us during a cat intake emergency last Friday at the front desk, she has the most gentle spirit and voice and really talked me through a traumatic situation. She also helped me save the lives of 3 street cats I had brought in who were in desperate need of placement and attention. She facilitated all of this like a complete champ and pro. This woman and place are true advocates for animals and their rights and wellness. I would trust this place with any poor, abandoned animal I've come across... the animal would be lucky to land here in the care of SLO animal services. I can't thank this team enough for their help with these sweet cats and for giving them a chance at a real shot at life. The intake was seamless and easy on the cats, thanks to Annette and just wanted to personally say thank you to her and the staff here. You're making a major difference. Thank you

I never thought I'd write a review for an animal shelter, but the brand new center in San Luis…read moreObispo is incredible. There are state of the art kennels for all kinds of animals there at the facility. We recently adopted a cat and it was awesome playing in one of the two "cat rooms." There are no odors, like their last building, everything is brand new and situated in a way that puts less stress on the animals. We saw two cats we loved, could only keep one, so we paid for the adoption fees so someone could come in and pick her up. They'll tell you if an animal has had it's fees waived. We walked outside and although the dogs were loud and a little stressed, the kennels were situated so we could observe from a distance. There was a tortoise there when we visited, very tempted to adopt. It's been months with Mary and couldn't be happier. A
