    Greater Hillsdale Humane Society - Clementine - Formerly Calida

    My parents list their cat and I was contacted about a cat that was found. Unfortunately the cat was…read morenot declawed or chipped. Took the cat to the Hillsdale Animal Shelter (no kill) and they were willing to take him in despite being full. They were Very nice and polite!! Please support the great caring work they do!!

    We had been searching for another aussie when we spotted Clementine (formerly Calida) on Petfinder…read more She was heartworm positive and it said she had been found on the side of the road and was an absolute mess. We love a good mess at our house, so we knew we had to have her. Renee (the director of the Hillsdale Humane Society) was great. They do not answer their phones (my guess is staffing and volunteers are not plentiful), but when they do pick up, they are more than willing to share all the information they have. Renee told me all about Clem, her sweet personality and even offered to bring her with on Saturday to their adoption event so we could meet her. We agreed. We drove to Hillsdale on Saturday and had our other aussie, Wilhelmina, meet Clementine and we spoke to Renee a little more. Clementine still had one more heartworm treatment on the following Tuesday, so we arranged to pick Clem up on Wednesday afternoon. The application to adopt was a simple two page form, the fee is a straight forward $150 and is completely refundable for 14 days if anything goes wrong. Renee said on the rare chance dogs do get into their new homes and people find personalities don't mesh well, she would rather have people bring the animal back to Hillsdale for a full refund. We left confident that Renee would take good care of Clem until Wednesday and headed back home. On Wednesday we drove back down to Osseo and Clementine was ready to go. The whole process was unbelievably easy and the humane society building itself (we only went into the lobby) was very small, but there was a lovely fenced in outdoor yard and it was very clean. We would adopt from Hillsdale again without hesitation. **We did have Clementine checked out by our own vet on Friday and did discover that she has some fairly serious (and expensive) medical problems that need to be addressed before she can live a normal healthy life. As Clem is a part of our family, we are going to get her the treatment she needs so she can live a healthy and happy life. She is undergoing treatment for serious ear infections and skin infections and then once her heartworm treatment is over she will have surgery. We know she saw a vet multiple times while she was at the humane society and we fully believe her medical issues were overlooked by either an inexperienced or lazy veterinarian. The people at Hillsdale Humane Society are not veterinarians, they are kind people who are doing their very best to help as many animals as possible, so Clem's ignorned medical problems are the fault of the vet who treated her in Hillsdale.**

Their application process was simple, though with really great questions to do their best to make successful matches. The pup we adopted stayed there a little longer due to her medication needs and our older dogs at home. We were able to go visit her for a few hours on a day before we were able to bring her home later that week. The staff were wonderful during our 'meet and greet' and definitely loved meeting our older pups! We went through great information about vet care, spay/neuter and more and they provide awesome supports for bringing home a young pup - even sending us out with puppy food. Wonderful experience!

The problem is that, after getting her home we discovered she was still infested with tape worms. We had to get her to a vet a.s.a.p and have her de wormed .. again .. apparently. This animal should have never been put up for adoption in her condition. We paid quite a bit of money for a kitten we thought was thoroughly treated. It cost me even more money .. this facility was going to issue a partial refund for the unnecessary expense and aggravation, but NEVER followed through on it.

    I am so very impressed with our local Humane Society. In a pandemic, they have everything arranged…read morequite well, so that you can help your pet while being safe. This review is for a spay appointment we had in January, 2021. What a way to start the new year! First, the new building! It looks so beautiful from the outside. Clean, well-designed, and you can tell that it is them from the enormous dog statue inside! :) For pandemic spay appointments, you call in and reserve a spot on the calendar when they open the schedule for new bookings. I had to wait over an hour on the phone, but that is because they were closed for almost 2 months, I believe, because of the move. The phone staff were incredibly patient and kind. We drove up on the day of Rosencrantz's appointment, as directed. We waited in line while staff went car to car and ascertained who we were, and put an identifier on our car under the windshield wiper. We filled out the paperwork. Note: Everyone must be masked, and the cat had to be in a hard-sided carrier, per their emailed instructions. The staff members were masked and I felt safe in conversing with them. Then your car gets to the front of the line, and you hand over the carrier. Poor Rosencrantz was so unsure of what was going on! But I digress. At 4-4:30, you drive back and wait in line to pick up your pet. When we were able to get R, the staff member delivering her was very kind and patient with his time, while we asked questions and he gave specific directions. One thing that would have been good to put on the original directions is to quarantine them to a small room for a while, once you get home, and to have fresh litter. Upon reflection, that makes TOTAL sense, but sometimes we don't think ahead. The price was SO reasonable: $40 for a spay, and $20 for 2 vaccines. That price is much appreciated. It is able to be so low because of grants and other funding (thank you!). In all of our interactions with staff, everyone was SO kind and caring. I never felt rushed or had an unanswered question. Highly recommended!

    I'm not writing a bad review because I don't believe in the cause of providing good homes for…read moreanimals that need them. I'm writing it out of a great feeling of resentment because I believe that I was fed bold-faced lies by the staff in order to push me toward an adoption. The sign on the window said that the cat I was considering was a five year old male. On the Saturday before our adoption, we asked a staff member of the cat's medical history. We were told that the cat had been very timid and was losing some weight, and that it had a distended stomach possibly from worms. That wasn't anything we couldn't handle so we decided to adopt. We wanted a 5 year old male because we had a cat and the two would complement each other well. When we sat down to sign the papers, though, that's when the truth started to come out. At least partial truths. Apparently, the cat had no teeth. We asked why, and they had no answers. It also had a heart murmur. I know the former staff member INTENTIONALLY left this out, because the distended stomach was there with this information. She just straight up left it out! We still went through with the paperwork, and at the end, they informed us that the cat was actually 7 years old. All of these things collectively should have told me to cut and run, but in the end the cat needed a good home, so we followed through with the adoption. A few days later, we took the cat to a vet. The vet informed us that actually the cat was more like 10 years old.... oh, and it was also a girl! So we went from a 5 year old male, to a seven year old male, to a ten year old female. CAHS either has no idea what they're doing, or they are purposely handing out false information in order to get pets adopted, which I'm certain is illegal. I likely won't pursue legal action because I'm sure no one will care, and I obviously will love and care for the pet that I've adopted. But folks should be aware of what's going on here, and be prepared for some deceit. CAHS should face some accountability.
