Here are what some of our students have to say about their experiences at the Humane Society:

 “I enjoyed going to the humane society, it was a very enjoyable experience. We had seen a lot of cute puppies and dogs. It touched me, I literally almost cried. It reminded me of the sad commercials that you see on late night television, those commercials kill me, because animals get mistreated for no reason.” People can be so cruel.

“I really enjoyed going to the humane society and getting to see all of the puppies and playing with them. It’s sad to see them there, in the cages with no home. They just want to be loved but the place is very clean and they have a place to eat and sleep. They play with each other and you can take them out and walk them it was very emotional you get attached to the dogs, I wanted to take them all home with me, they were so nice!”

“My experience at the Humane Society was sad but yet enjoyable. It’s sad to see the dogs all cooped up in such a small place, but volunteers and people looking around take the dogs outside, you can even take them into a play room. They have these places for the dogs so that people can connect and get to know the dog before hand, and so the other dogs don't get jealous and start barking. There are so many sweet dogs. A lot of people want puppies. I have a dog from a Humane Society; she is so sweet and kind. She is a decent size dog but wouldn't hurt a fly. I love animals. I think if someone wants a dog, they should adopt at the Humane Society. People there are very helpful and the dogs are well-kept and taken care of. They also have a memorial of the dogs that have died there, which is really sad. I would hate to die in a place like that. It’s like a doggy jail.”
