Almost Home Humane Society Review

Such a great place! Please send your unwanted sheets and towels to this shelter as well as any food donations. Recommend visiting and adopting an animal here.

The animals are so nice and cute. They are treated well. They need a good home

Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable during my adoption process

called to get my cat papers released to me and the person on the phone was EXTREMELY rude. i had already called the previous owner to have the paperwork released to me as the new owner and she said that since she couldn t find it, the previous owner had to call and verify again. she didn t ask if i had further questions, and simply hung up, even tho i wasn t even done.

This is a amazing place I love how they treat their animals.

My dog ended up there 4 a few months after getting away & when I picked him up he was skin & bones. One good thing was that it was $150 to get him back & I only had $50 they went ahead& let me take him thank God.

Very nice people kind and helpful clean and respectful of you

It is IMPOSSIBLE to adopt a dog at this facility. I applied to adopt a dog a month ago and have yet to be updated about my application. I have called multiple times asking about the status of my application and the staff had no clue about the status. That is very absurd and animal abuse. These precious dogs could go to a very loving home, but they are too lazy to approve an application.

They do the best they can for an abundance of animals. Everyone seems to be there for the right reasons. It just may take a few minutes in line, on the phone, or until a spot opens on the calendar.

A great local resource! The animals are all well cared for and the shelter is very active in the community. They have space to get to know the animals before deciding on adoption, offering a good chance to play with them one on one. They also do a great job in their application process of making sure that people know what they are getting into in terms of the expense and effort that a pet requires.

Animals are very well taken care of!! We got our cat from here and absolutely adore him!!

They have healthy animals and they have assisted me with dog food and cat food for close to a year now for free

What a wonderful place full of heart! This guy right here is Louie and he is amazingly sweet. He still needs a home!

PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER!!!
If your looking for the perfect fur baby this is the place to find it. I recently adopted a senior dog and their rates are extremely reasonable.
I'm sure that they would love anyone that can foster as well.

Great staff and very helpful when looking for your next family pet

Found this place to be unclean, smelly inside, and when you ask a question they seem to not know much. And when you put an application in for a particular dog, and someone else gets it, they could at least call an let you know that with out having to go there and ask them again an again if the dog is still there and available. Then find out he there but goes to another person. We will not come back. They seem disorganized. Just saying.

Very busy full of people looking for new family members! The girls working in the cat room were so nice and we loved their descriptions of the cats. Found our new baby, tulip the cat, we have to wait to bring her home until she is spayed. Can't wait!!

Got our latest dog here, pretty good, transaction wss easy-peasy.

They seemed as though they did not want to help us. Not sure if it was a race thing but I will never go there again.

Chrysler friendly they treat you like a person in there they're good to the animals if you need food to help you with food a great place to visit

I adopted a gorgeous cat on March 15th from here.Today I just spent THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY EIGHT DOLLARS AND 36 CENTS TO BRING MY DEAD BABY HOME FROM THE VET!!HE DIED OF CANCER!! THEY SAID HE HAD A NO BITE HISTORY,HE WAS THERE 2 WEEKS BEFORE I ADOPTED HIM AND HE WAS A BITER,WE TOOK HIM BACK ON MONDAY AS I WAS AFRAID HE WOULD BITE MY 3 YEAR OLD GRANDSON.WE DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE CLOSED.THANKFULLY THEY WERE OR HE WOULD HAVE DIED ALONE IN A CAGE!! I AM SO HURT AS I LOVED HIM AND I'M VERY ANGRY THAT HE WAS ADOPTED OUT WHILE BEING SO SICK!!NO WONDER GE WAS A BITER,HE WAS PROBABLY IN PAIN.HE ATE THOUGH AND HAD NO SIGNS OF ILLNESS UNTIL THE EVENING BEFORE I TOOK HIM TO THE VET WHICH WAS WEDNRSDAY AND HE DIED ON THURSDAY. HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL!!
I WILL NEVER GIVE THIS PLACE ANOTHER CHANCE,AFTER A THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY EIGHT DOLLAR VET BILL AND NOW A DEAD CAT I CAN'T AFFORD TO!!

They work so hard to find the right homes for all the dogs

Adopted my new cat Max (formerly Tex) from here! Volunteers are helpful and all the animals are great

If you're looking for a good animal they can help you find one

The lady that works at the front desk needs a lesson in social skills and customer service. Not only was she rude, but when I told her that one of the rabbits there appeared to have diarrhea she just brushed it off and said it was probably just the food, without relaying the message to anyone or even altering her diet. How unfortunate it must be to have a business that relies on donations and human kindness, and to have that working at the front desk scaring away all the nice people.

Luckily the woman with white hair that takes the rabbits to Petsmart made our experience worth it, she was so kind and caring, and the complete opposite of the front desk lady. We went home with Fanny, who has been through a lot but we adore her and she loves our other rabbits.

I do wish the staff would educate themselves on a proper rabbit diet because like most people, they think rabbits can have unlimited food pellets, when they re supposed to have unlimited hay and just have food pellets as a very small supplement to the hay. It makes me uncomfortable that a place that is home to so many animals has no knowledge of something so simple. After a month of trying to fix the damage this has done to my rabbit s digestive system, her bowels are thankfully finally returning to normal and she s no longer super bloated.

We finally had found a dog that met the requirements of our lease and they said the dog would be available in 4 days and then the very next day they sold it to someone else :(

Very friendly staff. You can tell they have a real connection with the animals. Hope we have found our new fur baby.

Clean and friendly. If you want to adopt avoid closing time. They are in a hurry at the end of the day and won't accept applications.

We adopted Augustus, now Midnight, on Saturday during the 80th anniversary celebration. The staff was more than accommodating We love our new addition to the family.

This place needs work. It was nearly unbearable to be in the dog kennel area due to the smell. In the cat area some of the cats had just enough room to lay down next to their litter box. I understand that this place is a rescue but the quality I saw here compared to other humane societies was not good.

We got our dogs microchipped during a free microchipping event they held. They gave us EZ Walk harnesses in exchange for the choker collars our dogs had and the harnesses worked much better than the chokers. The staff was amazing with my dogs and helpful and friendly to myself. It's amazing of them to offer the free microchipping event occasionally!

Very helpful in seeing if my kitties were there, then allowed me to go back and see the cats. Learned a few things while there as well. I see the workers love the animals and just want the best for them. Interesting to know there's a feral cat (potential barn cat) area.

If you are looking for a pet, this is a place to see - all kinds of .

Employees and volunteers are as helpful as they can be. There are often long lines when the parking lot is full - so do not get frustrated if you're there for 2 hours to adopt. Highly recommended.

Took 3 kittens there for adoption went back with 2adult cats was referred to some old lady out in the boondocks who had cats everywhere she said they were wrong to send me to her was an on going problem with that shelter animal control did nothing to resolve the problem so i took them to a farmer friend who welcomed them this was in the dead of winter two years ago would not consider this shelter to take in animals to it is a farce. Better to take them out to the farm were they are happier going after mice.

Adopted a kitten, and he has upper tract infection, which could transfer to other cat. I told the staff I have a cat at home and they hide the truth that the kitten is not healed and they give the kitten to me. I was in pet emergency 3:00 in the morning. I go back washed all the things, no sleep, no touch with me cat at home. This shelter is extremely irresponsible.

They do some amazing work here tending to the animals here

Horrible experience. All of the dogs were covered in their own poop. Crates were very dirty. Employees did not direct us or show any interest in the animals. Tried to show affection to cats and was yelled at. This place needs HELP.

Real nice people your welcome to walk in and see the animals and pet them

i really wish the conditions in here were better and the staff was more attentive and watchful. i went in to see about adopting a dog and was just pointed at a kennel where i was free to just walk into and see any dog. Where this si fine with some i do not know the stories on all these dogs and it made me very nervous just being left free to roam around. i left without meeting any dogs as i was just uncomfortable approaching a dog i didn't know without the staff, and they were not attentive at all,

you guys are very unprofressional my wife called today at around 12:30 pm talked to someone that said they would hold this bunny (moomoo). i do not get off till 3:10p she spent time getting both boys ready before i got home we went out and bought everything we needed and a donation of 5 blankets as the person she spoke on the phone with stated you needed. We show up at about 4:30 pm after shopping for everything needed for you guys to tell my wife moomoo was adopted to offer no resolution went back to look at other bunnies despite the fact she was lied to. we found 2 bunnies we liked zagh and lili which we couldnt even put a hold on nor were we given info on when they would be ready all in all very disappointed with how you guys handle this process some of us have shifts to work that make us unable to put holds on animals. all in all very dissapointed with overall treatment and reception of this facility.

Heartbreaking to see so many great animals needing homes

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff . You can tell that they really take it seriously and that they are there for the better of the animal .

I just want to adopt them all!!

I have gotten 2/3 of my cats there. Most of the cats seem to have upper respiratory infections would could be contagious. Theres not much done to keep cross contamination from happening. (Mainly from visitors) I feel like this makes the healing process longer and .makes more cats sick.

Beyond that, they really keep it clean and are always nice.

Terrible place! I am not a person to write bad reviews, but this isn't the place to go if you are wanting a dog. I went there with my fiancee super excited to get our first pet as a couple. Went in and fell in love with a husky there. We were super excited and we filled out an adoption application. They said it take 48 hours to approve of the application. A little background is that I am an animal lover and my family members are vets. I myself worked at a vet clinic for almost 3 years. Both my fiancee and I were both raised with dogs all our lives and are more than capable of taking care of a pet. Our environment is great! We live in a dog friendly appartment with a dog park and 3 parks surrounding it! Our appartment has plenty of room and we already bought all the supplies to take care of our new family member and spoil her! Also we are getting a house with fenced in backyard this summer after our wedding! Not only that but we were adopting an older dog as well and still had all of this to provide for her. We filled out the application super excited and the women there even made it sound like a done deal. They didn't call after 48 hours so we called them and they rudely just said she is already adopted. On there Facebook page it shows of no one adopting her and one hour ago they posted that they have a husky for adoption. She was the only husky there! There was no reason for then to refuse an animal of the perfect home nor be so rude. Looking in the reviews I am not the only one! Don't waste your time trying to get a dog here!

I find it poorly rated I tried to do community service hours and volunteer hours at first I was told that I'd be welcome there and that's why I filled out my application they fired me or told me I could not work there because I had a felony in like 5 years

Great service, great animals. The place my not look well hut they do what they can and that's all I can ask for.

They have dogs and cats that need furever homes. They do adoptions. They need donations like dog/cat food, blankets, money. Head on sown and give a dog or cat a home. Donate your time

I am adopting a barn cat, most are very ferrel, and no adoption fees.

Great people! Such a help with locating the owner of a dog that my family and I found.

I love this place!! Sometimes the staff isn't the greatest, but I have adopted from them 3 times & it's always so rewarding! I have a cat that will be 12 this year & I just adopted an 8 year old today!! Senior cats are the BEST!!

Normally, I am a very easy going person, but the events that have taken place over the week have infuriated me. My roommate and I came to spend time with the animals on a random day and happened to fall in love with a cute puppy. We inquired about the puppy but it was still on stray hold. It would be released after 5 days and become adoptable. I came back with my own dog on the 5th day, a friday, to see if the dogs would get along, but I was told that the puppy wouldn't be available until tuesday, so I'd have to wait. The shelter is first come first serve. I called after I left on Friday to confirm everything and said I would be there Tuesday. Tuesday rolls around. I arrive 30 minutes before open with my dog so we can be first, only to be told that the puppy was adopted on saturday. I questioned how that could happen when I was told repeatedly by staff that I needed to wait until Tuesday. Apparently their staff messed up the intake papers and let the dog be adopted on Saturday. I did everything right, only to be slapped in the face and told nope, tough luck. It's upsetting. And because I don't want it to happen again, I guess I will need to find another puppy to live in our forever home elsewhere. It's not the dogs' fault by any means, but I just don't want to deal with the staff and their misinformation. What a heartbreaking day for my family.

This is wonderful place that works VERY hard at finding homes for animals

I have had nothing but the greatest experience with the people at Almost Home.

My dog was taken there when I had to be taken to the hospital, I am diabetic and was very sick. I was released from the hospital the next day. when I went to pick up my dog they told me that they could not release her to me unless I agreed to have a chip put in to her. They told me that it was the law and they had a paper stating that.I disputed that and told him you cannot legally withhold my dog from me and that I would not put a chip in her, I went outside to get my case manager to come back in and she witnessed all of this, I went to call my brother who is a Lafayette Police officer, the man inside was extremely rude to me because I would not allow them to put a chip in her. When I was outside the lady came out waved me back inside, said that she had called the animal control and that they said it was okay to let it slip this time.... When I got home I looked up Indiana. Gov on animal laws, there is not one mention of chips being put into animals anywhere on that website. What the humane society is doing is straight up fraud!!

I love this place and my wife her service dog here. They keep the animals healthy and they keep the cages the live in clean. I recommend going here to adopt. You will not be disappointed.

Never opened hard to get a pet from there when you going to get a pet they don't want it to adopt it it's an unsanitary place for pets that's just not a place where pets

Absolutely wonderful place. Knowledgable, patient and kind staff.

Place was closed to the public. There was a worked there that didnt even acknowledge the fact that we were outside. It just seemed kinda rude to me.

Clean facilities and cheerful staff, good selection of kittens and adult cats

Had a great time with the animals staff was great and you can see they truly care about the animals in their care. After visiting for a minute i met Humphrey and absolutely fell in love with him they made the adoption process very smooth and easy and am so happy to welcome my new furry friend to his forever home theres so many wonderful animals there tht need a home i reccomend to anyone looking for a new furry best friend to go there and to any of the staff tht sees this heres some great pictures of Humphrey he loves his new home and has already settled in nicely

Looking to adopt a new cat after losing my old buddy in November. The staff was very helpful and the rules for browsing the cat room were easier than website information. Second step was an "interview" with a prospect cat in a cat visiting room. I was able to find a cat who interacted with me and adopt. Adopted cats must go to new home the same day so my new friend is exploring his new home. Almost Home is a bit tricky to find.

My dog esacped the house. I found her at this humane society. They had her 30 mins before we arrived. I had an issue with them charging me 40$ to pick her up. So I asked a bunch of questions. Mind you, losing your 13 yr old blind dog is stressful, so my tone was probably not so great. Instead of trying to be helpful the girl with long dark hair stood and played on her phone for 15 mins instead of getting my dog and the other "employee" slowly took all of my info and payment. Come to find out she called the animal control officers and claimed that I said someone stole my dog. They showed up and confronted me as of I commited a crime. Asking where I live and why there's a problem. Took an hour plus to get out of that place. Dark long haired woman likes to make up her own narratives and instigate confrontation. She didn't listen to anything I told her about the dog and thought we had adopted the dog from them. The woman "officer" with the animal control has no right to start a confrontation with anyone. This place is messed up. Stay away.
