Bowling Green/Warren County Humane Society…read more another horrible experience with this shelter. we have been trying to find the perfect dog for our home that met our landlords requirements for YEARS now and we finally did today. we saw 2 adorable jack russell terrier mixes, and really wanted to adopt the male. his kennel wasn't marked as adopted and the woman let us walk him and decide if we were going to adopt him. in the past as a volunteer, when a dog is being walked I have been told that if the people walking it are considering adoption, they can't be claimed by someone else in that moment. well today the rules must have changed because in the time under 5 minutes we were seeing how the dog acted on a leash, we decided we really wanted to give him a home. we go inside and another taller blonde woman with a bun and a black puffer vest comes over and said there's people that look at the shelter from all over the country on petfinder and other partners that can claim the dog. he was now adopted. she had gone in the system and marked him as claimed in the time we were outside with him. we find out he hasn't yet been paid for and he's on hold until friday for them to pick up the dog. this absolutely crushed me to hear because we got our hopes up so high and felt an instant connection with him and his temperament was so good. I don't understand why that woman thought it was okay to do that when another employee (who did nothing wrong) had let us walk him and decide whether or not we wanted him just to turn around and promise him to someone else at the same time without warning us. this was sneaky and so unprofessional because now I'm an emotional wreck until I know Friday whether or not this can work out for us as a backup plan for the dogs adoption. I will never in my life return to this shelter or recommend it to anyone else if this fails. I am praying so hard that we can somehow still adopt him but this was a horrible experience to have to deal with.

I was given all the information I needed to comply with their very efficient process. It was my first visit to this facility. I have know it for years but was under a certain idea that it was just for low income individuals or feral animals. I had an opportunity to see my sweet friend and the director of the facility and she informed me that that is a common misconception. She said they take all folks and most animals. There are a few dog type they don't spay or neuter. They did an exceptionally wonderful job with my asshole cat. She would not wear the cone or a sleeve over the surgery. So, I just had to watch her and she did great. The wound healed great. She is still an asshole but a smidge calmer. I actually was not charged anything due to the fact that I am on Medicare, so it was a great value to me. My plan is to donate to them through their wish list/amazon.

I've never been so disappointed trying to adopt an animal. I reached out to the Nelson County…read moreAnimal Shelter through every possible method -- Facebook, their website form, email, and phone -- and after three days, no one had even bothered to review my application or follow up. It's honestly unacceptable for a shelter that claims to want to help animals find homes. When I finally managed to speak to someone, the woman I talked to was incredibly unprofessional and dismissive. Rather than offering any help or understanding, she made me feel like I was wasting her time. I mentioned that their website and google search clearly says they're open on Saturdays by appointment, and she flat-out told me that Saturdays are not an option -- with zero explanation and an attitude that was shockingly rude for someone representing an animal shelter. Their limited hours -- only a few hours Monday through Friday -- make it almost impossible for anyone with a job to adopt. Add the lack of communication, slow response time, and unprofessional behavior, and it's no wonder so many animals are still waiting for homes. It's heartbreaking, because the animals here deserve so much better than this kind of disorganization and attitude. If the staff can't manage basic courtesy or responsiveness, how are they supposed to help the animals in their care find loving families? I truly hope they take this feedback seriously and make real improvements, because right now, it feels like they're standing in the way of adoptions, not helping them happen.

No one explained to me what that meant; no one told me that my kitten had a serious, contagious illness that would affect him for the rest of his life. I am not a veterinarian. I am just someone who wants to love a cat. If someone had taken a moment to explain what "FeLV+" meant, to clarify that it was feline leukemia, that it could shorten his life, and that it could endanger my other cat, I would have been able to make a fully informed decision about how to protect him and my home. Instead, I found out what it meant only after falling in love with him. After I had already brought him home. After I watched him get sick, I was terrified, not knowing what was happening or how to help him at first. I don't regret adopting him -- not for a second. He is part of my family now, and he is deeply loved. However, the way his condition was communicated caused an enormous amount of unnecessary heartbreak and fear that could have been avoided with a simple, honest conversation. Please prioritize speaking clearly about health conditions like FeLV for the sake of future cats and adopters. A simple explanation could spare someone else from confusion, guilt, or loss and give cats like mine the extra protection and understanding they deserve from the start. This is the first review I've ever left, and I feel wrong going lower because Ducky is still alive, and my older cat is vaccinated.

They also have some sort of work programme for low-risk inmates to do community service. I don't know a lot about this programme, but the in-mates I have interacted with have been pleasant and helpful. This is a great place to interact with animals! They also occasionally have sponsored pets available with a waived adoption fee. The only reason I would not give 5 stars is that with they recently changed their hours so they are now open 11-4 M-F and 10-3 Saturday. This has made it more difficult to bring school aged kids here during the week, whereas we used to be able to make it after-school. Overall, very positive experiences here!

The staff are friendly and seem to genuinely care about the welfare of the animals in their charge. The facility is clean and well organized. There is an application process for adoptions. It is painless and helps to ensure that the adopted animals are not being relocated to another crappy situation. Just bring a valid drivers license or photo identification with your correct address. If you already have pets at home, bring current up to date vaccination records for them. Bring proof of home ownership or a current lease (with a contact number for the landlord) and a pet deposit receipt. You can download a copy of the application on the NAFC Animal Shelter website and fill it out before you head over to meet the critters. There are no residency restrictions for adoption and adoptions can be competed the same day. The cost of caring for unwanted animals is significant. The adoption fees help to offset those costs. Each animal is spayed or neutered and receives at least one course of vaccinations, worming, Felv/FIV or Heartworm test, and treatment for fleas. Microchipping is also included in the adoption fee. There's the cost of food and bedding and kennels and cleaning supplies and clerical supplies and laundry and on and on. So, those nominal adoption fees are a full-on bargain. The fees are: Canines: $80.00 Felines under 4 pounds: $60.00 Felines 4 pounds and over: $20.00 You can surrender an unwanted animal during regular hours and must complete some paperwork to help NAFC Animal Shelter facilitate re-homing. Not all cats play well with each other and not all dogs are great with children. These tidbits of information go a long way when looking for a home for a companion animal. You must be a Floyd County, Indiana resident to surrender an animal. NAFC Animal Shelter does euthanize animals. It is a last resort but it does happen. Animals who are too aggressive or sick to be adopted, sadly, are euthanized. Right this minute, NAFCAS is helping with the rescue of 68 Chihuahuas and Chinese Crested dogs who were rescued from a home in Paducah, Kentucky. They'll be assessed by a vet and then adopted out or sent to other rescues or shelters to help with the placements. If you happen to be in need of a little love and loyalty, please consider adopting. If you'd like to help but can't make room in your home for a pet, donations are always welcome. You can donate money directly through the website (http://www.nafcanimalshelter.org/) or drop off your donations. There is always a need for cash (obviously) but towels, blankets, and soap (dish, hand, and laundry) are appreciated. You can also volunteer to help. Just give the shelter a call to find out how.

They came and got the Yorkie and now are telling me I have to apply to get her back!

Do not turn them over to these people! I will never trust them again! Shame on the A holes working down there!

It had been 3 months since our 2 dogs had been groomed, usually it's a once a month date with the groomer. They came back to us looking like a million bucks. They looked and smelled great. I felt the prices were right, but the customer service team at the front desk needed to be a bit friendlier in my eyes. The girls seem a bit distracted and forgetful.
