This is one of my favorite pet supply shops! They also can order in items that are not currently in stock, which can be extremely helpful. They will take time to help you with questions, and give great recommendations. There's also two sweet cats that roam and live in the shop, although they suggest keeping your cats (no problem with dogs) out of their view if you bring them, since they can be territorial. Overall I've had a great experience as of now, and I've been coming here for close to a year.

Okay, so I'm biased…read more I used to volunteer here when I lived in the area. That said, who would know better how awesome a place is than someone who worked "behind the scenes". This organization treats their animals amazingly and truly cares about each cat they take in. The rescue is not your typical animal shelter which feels dingy and depressing. The rooms are clean, decorated, and filled with activities to make the cats feel at home. I adopted my own cat from the rescue two years ago and the process was straightforward and smooth, landing me the most awesome cat ever. Their petfinder listings and website show photos of all their adoptable animals, and their facebook page is kept very up-to-date. In my opinion, NBAR sets the gold standard for what an animal rescue should be. Of note, NBAR only has cats at their building- I believe they work with a dog foster organization and can direct people to adoptable dogs.

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.**

On entering there was a variety of pet supplies and to the back there were various puppies. I put my eye on a white maltese. I was asked if I wanted to see one and of course I said yes. We went to a room to have a little play time. I was hooked. The process went smoothly. They explained to me about what shots he had and that he would require a doctors visit. There was also a guarantee that the dog was in good health. I packed up on a few items and I was now a puppy dad. I would recommend this place as a great place to grab supplies or a great pet.

The kittens were sweet and playful, and for the most part people were respectful, although I did see one grown woman who kept handling cats that clearly did not want to be picked up. They have coffee, snacks, and soft drinks for a recommended donation of $1 per item which was a nice convenience, and plenty of tables, although the main "play" area was pretty crowded. Its $6 for a half hour or $10 for an hour and you can make reservations online beforehand or take your chances that they'll have room for you day of. They give you a buzzer programmed to go off after your time is up which felt a little unnecessary...seems like they could easily just go honors system and just accept that worst case scenario people might stay a couple minutes over. In some ways I wish they had more of a mix of older cats and young kittens because it was NOT a calming environment, with that being said I had a good time hangin with some kitties.

I stopped by recently for the first time as I'm newly retired and thinking about getting a kitty…read more it was crowded with at least 25 to 30 people including a lot of unsupervised children despite adults being with them. These kids were pretty aggressive with the cats even when they were sleeping on a cat tower, or trying to eat, or trying to hide in a box. At one point a few kids ran after the cats and cornered them in the back room. I was told when I checked in not to pick up the cats because some might've had recent surgery but that didn't stop other adults or children from manhandling some of the kittens. It was busy and I think the staff had their hands full. I'm sure that they care a great deal about the cats. That said, I didn't see anybody redirect the children or the adults with regard to how to best manage the interactions especially as cats scurried away and tried to go into hiding. And when the cats weren't hiding many were sleeping. I would say at least half we're asleep and it's no wonder because they must've been very tired. I simply think the people to cat ratio was simply too high. And when people keep chasing after the cats it doesn't give you much opportunity to let them approach you if you're not inclined to chase after them as well. I left 30 minutes into my one hour appointment.
