Our vet said to keep an eye on it, as it might get bigger and she would need surgery. A volunteer from the MHS called to ask how things were going and I mentioned the possible hernia. The next day I got a call (On a Sunday) to get more information. Today, I was asked to bring Miss Kitty to the clinic so that Dr. Evans could check it. The MHS staff and volunteers are incredibly helpful and so coordinated when it comes to staying in touch with people who adopt animals. I'm extremely happy with the service here.

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I've never had a more unpleasant experience than the one I…read morehad today at Marin Humane. First, let me say that my family and I are animal lovers, and we've always supported the idea and mission behind the Humane Society and animal shelters. We lost our beloved cat (20 years old) a couple of years ago, and were hoping to adopt a kitty for my 11-year-old son, who has a special bond with cats. When my son, daughter and I walked in the door, we were immediately met with attitude and a negative vibe from the ladies working there. They would not let us meet any of the cats. Instead they made excuses like the cats were "too nervous," or "too bitey" or that "meeting people would stress them out." Honestly, it was just very weird, and unlike any experience I've ever had at an animal shelter. The idea should be to bring people in to find loving homes for these animals not make people feel unwelcome and judged. These people have lost the plot. We won't be back.

I adopted my kitten Tessa from North Bay Animal Services earlier this year. We did foster to adopt,…read morewhich was nice because we experienced what fostering was like, to be connected to a creature and then decide if it was working. Of course, we were in love with her right away, and the day we adopted her officially was a very happy one in my life. I had great communication and support from Mary along the way. She loves the cats deeply, and that reassures me. (Tessa was rescued as a kitten and had a bad respiratory infection, which they took care of with great tenderness and professionalism.) When I have extra time, I like to go to the shelter and visit the animals, and just sit with the cats and visit with the doggos. I also started volunteering there and love the experience of supporting the enrichment of the cats and taking dogs for a nice long run. One dog, it was remarkable, was super excited to go back to the shelter after a very short walk. I thought that was a good sign. I also really appreciate the donation station and love being able to drop stuff off without any hassle. Really appreciate everyone there and all of the work they are doing, volunteers and staff and the community that supports them.

Still Missing Since April 26 - North Bay Animal Services Has My Dog and Won't Give Her Back…read moreMy dog, originally taken in by Sonoma County Humane Society and later transferred to North Bay Animal Services, has been missing since April 26. Her ID tag is A58381636. I have reached out repeatedly to North Bay Animal Services, waited patiently, and even provided clear photos proving she's mine. I also received confirmation from Kerrie, a manager at the Sonoma County Humane Society, that the dog who came in had the same leash and collar I described by name. Despite all of this, I have received no phone call, no email, no explanation--nothing. And now I've learned that my dog is currently being kept in a foster home, while I'm actively trying to get her back. This is heartbreaking, frustrating, and unacceptable. I have done everything I can to prove ownership, and I've been completely ignored. If North Bay Animal Services truly cares about reuniting lost pets with their families, this is not how they should operate. If you're considering trusting them with your pet, or relying on them for help in a crisis, please know what I've been through. I just want my dog back, and I deserve at least a response.

We went to an adoption event with quite a few dogs available. After walking around and talking to the volunteers, who were all fantastic, we were drawn to a small white and beige dog. We wanted an adult dog, and we found out, the young pup was 6 years old. She was initially shy, but could tell she was very sweet. We picked her and she picked us. We adopted her, and Miss Rita is the sweetest dog we have ever had living with us. The entire adoption process and care they give the dogs were fantastic. You can tell they have compassion and love with all the dogs. I would highly recommend you take a look at them for adoption of these wonderful furry friends.

Over the years she and I went on many hikes together. She was always by my side. So very loyal. We added our Sons dog, a Shepsky, also adopted from Coppers Dream, to our family, as he was always traveling. Those two dogs spent many years together, always protective of me and of each other on our many hikes. I would periodically send in photos to CD, and always had a friendly reply. Almost like a family. One morning, up in ALanden Quicksilver Park, going up a steep narrow trail, they suddenly half turned and let rip with ferocious barks. A cougar came racing down the hill, I guess it wanted us for breakfast. Nope. Their utter ferocity in their barking and stance was one obstacle. The second was Bear Spray. That cougar decided quickly that this would not be a good way to start the day. Those two adopted dogs were Loyal, lovable, Protective, Goofy. Play ball? You bet. They loved swimming, exploring and making friends. My lab lived until she was 15. Our Shepsky passed a year or so before. Coppers Dream has always been professional, friendly and easy to approach. Now, I'm back looking for one more dog. Our young, female GSD is lonely without her big sister and big brother..
