My girlfriend just adopted a dog from here recently; and throughout the adoption process our confidence in the knowledge, good intentions, and care the employees expressed toward the animals waned with each hour we waited throughout our time there.

Our dog received a neutering his first day as a "humane society animal" meaning he had to spend 3 days in his own urine and manure before they could conduct any treatment for "legal purposes." After his neutering the staff members failed to implement ways to prevent the puppy from licking his wounds and further infecting them.

Not only this but the apparent "walks" the employees take the dogs on obviously don't include any sort of care or well-being measures being conducted for the animals, as any one spending even 2 minutes with the dog alone would notice how frequently he licked his neutering wound, and his need for a cone as any good puppy would need.

In the adoption room the employee who was adopting out our dog knew nothing about the dog's personality except a very brief basis they do which is about as in depth as a middle school history project. My girlfriend and I were the ones to notice the dog ever so frequently licking his wounds, and after a good 30 minutes they finally had time to "re-assess" him only to find they wasted their time with the first surgery and needed to clean out the infection that ensued after his constant (and understandable) licking of the wound.

After she picked him up, she made a sweet comment about the dog being like a person and very sweet, at which a volunteer claimed that the animal was simply an animal. Finally, we were given no time lapse as to when to take off the cone for the puppy or any information as to the healing process for the poor animal.

Overall I give you 1 star, as I have to give you some rating, but I an thoroughly unimpressed with the measures conducted at your facility. Your name, and your building is all you may have, but you better believe I am going to warn every one I know who is considering your facility as a means to adopt an animal. I won't say the animals won't need adoption, because to be honest they do, they need to get out of your poor facility and away from your "caring" staff members who clearly have little to no customer service, nor much animal care experience prior to their hiring.

I thoroughly hope that change may be implemented in the Nebraska Humane Society, as ever since I was a young boy my family has adopted from the organization. I am sorry if this review seems harsh, but I have to be entirely honest to hope for any sort of change to be instilled into this poor excuse for an adoption agency.
