Caring Hands Humane Society

This is a great place to adopt animals from. The people really care about finding good homes for the pets.

What a wonderful place! I have just Adopted a BEAUTIFUL Dachshund Mix puppy. My Husband and I have been wanting to add another pup to Our Family for awhile. Hubby found a newly posted picture of Our Girl and asked me to go and take a look at her. I called first and told them who I wanted to see and spoke to a very sweet young lady and she was expecting me when I went to their front counter. She put a leash on my Girl and showed me their outside visitation area. I walked her around for about an hour. I picked her up and cuddled her to make sure she was my type of friendly and sure enough, I got kisses :)
I took some pictures with my phone and sent them to my Husband — then I called him and said that I was going to fill out the paperwork on her. When I went to the counter another lady filled out my ‘HOLD’ paperwork and took a $ 40 non-​refundable deposit. She then called their Internal Vet and set up a Spay for our pup for the following morning and said that I could come on Friday and pick up our new pup.
The Lady who ‘surrendered’ this pup, filled out a Questionaire and I had been read the highlights over the phone before I arrived. On the day of her Spay, I called and checked on her and ‘Mike’ very obligingly went and checked on her for me. He came back to the phone and read me the Dr’s comments and they found a skin condition that would need immediate attention. Since I picked her up on a Friday afternoon — I scheduled an appointment with our Vet for Monday morning. And Mike very thoughtfully copied our girl’s file in it’s entirety. We were fortunate that the Lady who surrendered her, also included copies of her Medical History!
I feel grateful that they posted her picture so quickly after her intake and that we were the lucky ones who got to adopt her. They immediately updated their website that she had been placed on ‘HOLD’ and immediately removed her from their site when our adoption process was completed. Very efficient :)
The remaining balance was $ 110 for a total of $ 150. Which included her medical exam, her Spay, Microchip with a Pet Insurance for 30 days. It would have included her first shots and deworming — but that had already been taken care of by her previous owner. It’s actually a bargain to paying a Vet for multiple visits for shots, deworming, Spaying and then their Rabies. Our Vet charges $ 225 to Spay a female (we have 2 other girls), $ 44 for DHLP (needs 3 inoculations — $ 132) shots, $ 23 for Rabies (1 year — $ 55 for 3 year) plus an Office Visit each time, the Microchip cost $ 45. Each of our previous dogs cost us nearly $ 600 for everything EACH!
