  • "Well maintained shelter. Very clean inside. If you're looking to add a pet to your family please consider checking into your local humane society."

  • "This place is wonderful! Everyone is extremely helpful, willing to talk about whoever you wanted to visit and just overall nice. The building is well kept and very clean. Signs are clear as to what animals are where and their names. Best animal shelter I've ever been to."

    —James Sheriff

  • "The current staff and volunteers are dedicated, thoughtful and doing their absolute best for the dogs, cats and sometimes other wee furbabies who live there. It takes a community's support to keep this shelter safe, maintained and available. Please consider volunteering if you have the time. Also, if you're considering how to support, you can help the Western Hills Humane Society by naming them as a beneficiary in your will. Any support will help! 🐾❤️🐾"

  • "The staff are very sweet and gentle with their animals and you can really tell that they care a lot about them. They answer any questions that you might have and the kennels were kept very tidy as well :) This is also a no kill shelter 🤍 we adopted a very sweet cat from them and he is very healthy and happy! 10/10 recommend!"

  • Great, no-kill shelter. Staff will answer all your questions and try to match you with the best animal. I also love that you can go cuddle with kitties in the cattery!
