It was very muddy and she helped us get there. I had called ahead and asked if they had puppies. She said yes and was expecting us. We looked at the puppies, and were given ample information about eating habits, local vets, and so on. We ended up adopting the puppy and she was very kind throughout. I highly recommend this shelter. Also, the price to adopt is good too.

When my rescued Boston Terrier passed away at nearly fourteen years old my heart was broken. She was there for our wedding, first apartment together, move to Denver, our first house, our first baby and second. You name it, she was there-- supporting us. No dog loves harder than a rescue-- Sammie was proof of that. But with a two year old and newborn we decided to hold off on getting another. Months of my toddler asking where Sammie had gone, was torture. While I was sure we would adopt a rescue, my original thought of an adult dog was diminishing. Over time we decided the next addition to our family would be a puppy, so we wouldn't have to deal with our children's heartache anytime soon. Heartland Humane Society was outstanding. They were very responsive, they had answers to any question and they did their homework to ensure each animal goes to a good home. After seeing a photo online, inquiring, trading numerous emails followed by submitting an eventually approved application we traveled nearly 100 miles to meet him. It was love at first sight. The moment he rolled on his back for a belly rub, having spotted our toddler, we just knew. We adopted a nearly six month old pup, Arlo Guy. Please adopt, don't shop. This organization is fabulous.

I'll translate for you, it means, Alton Area Animal Aid Association…read more They are a non-profit, no kill shelter that has been serving the Alton community for 65+ years. 5 A's is worthy of their 5 Star rating. They are a great small town, county shelter that takes good care of homeless dogs and cats. Recently they got some publicity for one of their residents who had been living in the shelter for 11 years. Wiggles had a tumor that was unoperateable, but 5 A's kept her and loved her. Finally after appearing on a local news channel, she found her forever home for her senior years. Being new to the Alton community, I stopped by to see what I could do or donate to help them with their cause and was impressed with the cleanliness of the shelter. I was also impressed with the friendliness and love I saw the staff and volunteers showing the resident animals. My house currently is full of four paws, but I now know what they need and will be donating regularly. When: January 2021 Why: Donations

I'm confident in buying from here for sure, they are doing good things :)

There is nothing easy or simple about caring for homeless animals, but I can only thank the…read morevolunteers of the Central Missouri Humane Society for keeping my little girl alive long enough for us to meet. When I first decided to adopt a cat, I looked at their website to preview the kitties they had available for adoption, and one stood out: she was named Oreo for her all black coat with a single patch of white above her eyebrow. I saw her picture and the description saying she was special for having survived despite her heart condition, and thought, that's really sweet, but NO WAY! When I visited to meet the cats they had available, a volunteer told me, have you met Oreo, she's very sweet? And I took her into the one-on-one room just to make the volunteer feel good, having no intention of considering her. 10 minutes later I told the volunteers in the cat room Oreo was going home with me, and they both gasped. As I found out later, she had been there for a year and a half, despite having a heart condition in a kill shelter, and had charmed the staff into keeping her alive in the small chance she would find a home. Fast forward 13 years, and me and Oreo (who I call Thebe) have been together through thick and thin in the best of times, and the worst of times. I was there for her when she had her heart surgery to repair a PDA, when she was diagnosed with fluted, and then diabetes, and she was there for me when I was unemployed for a year and a half after finishing my masters degree... then 2 years after my PhD, and having to accept jobs I could have done just as effectively after high school. And now when I'm entering another period of unemployment, I know she'll be there for me again when I'm at my worst. Always brightening my day with her strange loping walk and chainsmoker meow, and her purr sessions that would melt the coldest heart. For the volunteers and employees of the Central Missouri Humane Society, I can only extend my most heartfelt thank you. Are things perfect there? No! But the job they do literally saves lives, both animal and human. On your darkest days, remember that. You can help bring two lives together who would only be lesser had they never met. And since I'm horribly unemployed again, and rent is the only expense that isn't a luxury, I can only gift this ridiculous picture of Thebe (Oreo) after her heart surgery. She charmed the vet students into demanding she go home early because she couldn't be bothered to be nice to anyone else on her worst day. She says "go away humAn" from her new home in California.
