Elmbrook Humane Society Review

The pets are healthy and the staff is great. Got 2 cats from them 5 years ago.

We have adopted both a kitten and a puppy here and both times the process was very smooth.

Reached out to EHS recently & purchased a bunny - the staff was absolutely incredible, so knowledgeable, so transparent & extremely considerate and protective of all animals. Really enjoyable experience, I highly recommend EHS!

Very nice place. We found our precious Toby there! He is a great addition to our family!

Wonderful place and amazing people that look after these little fur babies.

Its really expensive and when we host car shows just get them and raise 2000 dollars ps a dog under 6 months is 350 dollars

I've adopted two cats from Elmbrook now and I love the facility here. The staff is wonderful and you can tell that everyone has a true love of animals. If you're looking to add to your home I would definitely check out Elmbrook Humane Society. Their residents are happy, healthy, and absolutely adorable.

I love that all the employees and volunteers have such a large heart for furry friends.

Staff is very kind. The evaluations they give the animals are in-depth and very helpful to figure out the temperament before you make a decision.

They treated is,wonderful when we were looking for our new fur baby. Wonderful experience.

I adopted my dog from there. The facility is so nice.

I adopted my dog here for $75, he was 3 months at the time. He's a great dog

Since both my friend and I used to volunteer at whs we like to go to other shelters. I still volunteer @whs.

I love the care and love given to the pets let in their care. A lot out side time and you can tell the care given to the pets.

Excellent facility. Lovely, kind employees, great customer service. Really care about making great connections between people and fur babies.

A really got place to adopt pets and just say hi and make their days

Got my best friend there and they made it so easy for us

Adopted my two cats here without any troubles. I really appreciate the friendly staff and the multiple private rooms to sit with animals before adopting.

$300+ in fees to adopt an animal? are they trying to keep the animals locked up there so they can euthanize them? Isn't the point to keep them alive and get them in a nice home? so why charge the same as or more than a new puppy or kitten without any issues? Id like to help out a dog in need but with such a Greedy price tag, I'm going for a puppy I get to train.

We adopted 2 kittens from here, they're healthy, loving, wonderful additions to our family. My Mil adopted her dog from here as well, he is very well-mannered and even-tempered, and very affectionate. The staff was patient, answered all of our questions, and was committed to ensuring that we the family and the animals were a good fit for each other!

Great staff but didn't find what I wanted today. Previously got my dog here.

Very nice, an friendly staff, very clean wonderful bring our new doggy

Thank you for all you do for the animals of our community

Nice, smelled good. Really appreciate the fact sheets. Easy to read, simple. All vital info right there for you.

If you want them to work with you on holding an animal they won't help you in the least tried so hard to adopt a cat was told I had to wait 24 hrs and work in the next 24 hours and couldn't get there in time tried to have my mom come pick him up for me and they wouldn't allow that either thanks for all their loving help all I wanted was to give a cat a forever home and they could care less. Won't ever go back there.

Great staff. I got my rescue cat from here 4 years ago and currently looking at a dog

Adopted an 2 year old Lab, took him to the veterinarian 3 days after they brought him home. Vet discovered 3 infections one serious that he is unable to walk. Very disappointed Elmbrook did a poor job in ensuring our dog was healthy before we adopted. Cost us over $400 in vet bill we did opt for the pet insurance but they have a waiting period of 7 days. We were not going to let our new dog suffer that long to get treatment.

Friendly staff. I love to volunteer here walking the dogs!

The animals are taking care of by people that really love them!!!

Very nice people who actually care about adopting out animals.

Always animals there that are super cute and friendly and the people there are really nice. Its just a really great environment.

Amazing -my husband volunteered and we found our rescue dog! Staff knowledge, honest and friendly.

I looked online and saw a dog i really wanted so i drove all the way from madison. When i got there i thought it was going to be a quick in and out since the dog was still there and it was right when it opened up. When i had my visit with the dog they said they had to contact my landlord because of what type of dog it was. This type of dog was not on their list of dogs to do that for though. Then they needed my roommate to come in. Yet I said she is hardly home and I'm the one who is going to take care of her. It took my roommate an hour and half to get there. I thought while we wait for her they we're going to call my landlord. But nope they called after I said can we get this going. I wanna take her home. I finally left 3 and half hours later with no dog. I did not like the staff and how it was run.

I had a great adoption experience! I would recommend EBHS to anyone looking for a four-legged friend. The staff were timely, friendly, and provided accurate information about my dog. A great, caring humane society!

If I had to be a dog in a shelter I'd hope it would be here! Smaller, super clean & volunteers holding pups and playing with cats

Awesome staff, always helpful. Have adopted 3 dogs from here throughout my life and each time has been awesome!!

** update called and told them what has happened and they have been great at trying to help me get my kitten well!

Adopted a cat with documentation that he had been dewormed and medically checked. The 2nd day I had him I had to admit him to the ER because he had roundworms so bad that he had become severely dehydrated that his kidney wasn't functioning properly. He had to get IV fluids due to the severe diarrhea caused by the roundworms. He also had a respiratory virus.

We recently lost one of our dogs and our remaining one was lonely. We visited a number of different shelters trying to find a new family member. Elmbrook was the most calm and well organized shelter we met. Everyone we met was fantastic and helpful. The adoption counselor that helped us with the match was really great. I can't say enough things about how helpful and patient he was. The nice lady that did the paperwork was just as great. If we ever have to adopt again I wouldn't go anywhere else. Their adoption fees were by far the most reasonable as well.

THANK YOU ELMBROOK HUMANE SOCIETY FOR THE NEW FAMILY MEMBER.

A great humane society. I love volunteering here:-)

They have a large selection, but I hate most of the staff. The first time my wife and I went, we called ahead of time to make sure a dog was still available since we were driving from Madison. The woman we spoke to said he was, but when we got there he all of a sudden wasn't. We then looked at another dog since we drove all that way. It was pretty obvious one of the women didn't want us to adopt a dog. She tried suggesting he was a pit bull, and didn't believe we had permission from our landlord to have a dog. He ended up getting adopted by someone else.

So one day I went back by myself. They wouldn't allow me to adopt a dog without my wife there. They told me she could come in alone and adopt him since I already met him. When my wife called, they said they had no idea who I was, even though I had just been there an hour earlier... Again, they have a good selection, but their staff is pretty much a joke, unfortunately.

Thank you for the great service we received and for taking such great care of all of the animals there. We adopted a beautiful 1 year old cat, who has really become part of our family.

We got our dog Hazel from Elmbrook in September. The staff was wonderful. We went on a Friday and they were willing to hold her until Sunday when we took her home. They even required a puppy class. The trainer and the class were fantastic. We learned so much about training our puppy, Hazel. She is now 8 months old and a wonderful dog.

I would highly recommend Elmbrook Humane Society and please be open to training your new dog and being patient with her.

Just a wonderful shelter and staffing helping animals in need

The way they are conducting business right now is ridiculous. Everything is open back up yet you can't look for a potential companion

This shelter is so amazing!! They help so many animals and I am so lucky to have gotten my kitty from them, all the animals are in great hands!!!

Much better experience than going to the Wisconsin humane society.

Excellent staff, great adoption process, would recommend!

Friendly and clean. The staff seemed to really care about finding the animals thr best home.

Took Girl Scout troop here for badge requirement. Staff was friendly and helpful. The also brought in a service dog for the girls to learn about. Facilities were clean.

I volunteer here, love what they do for our community.

Found a kitten in our yard, they were just about to close but stayed there until we were able to get there.

Had an excellent experience picking out my new puppy!

I adopted my beautiful boys from here and everyone was so kind. They let me sit in their room and bond with them for an hour accompanied by an employee who knew a lot about them. Everyone loved these boys so much, some even came in to say goodbye to them. The staff is amazing and they genuinely care about their animals.

Had a horrible adoption of a cat. The Humane Society would not take the cat back. We worked with Waukesha Humane Society and they were able to take the cat. My attorney gave them papers and never heard a word back. I finally was able to get ahold of the director and she was had no empty for the situation. She admitted, they do not know the animals behavior before adopting them out.

Excellent place. They helped us go through the adoption process and answered all of my questions!

The staff was wonderful. They made the visitation and adoption process very pleasant.

Everyone was so friendly and able to provide helpful information. Not even 24 hours in and so inlove with my new kitty. Thank you!!

I really like what they do the only problem is sometimes they are not all that organized and communication is not always the best. Everyone is really nice though, and you can definitely tell that they love what they do and they want what is best for the animals.

Excellent shelter with great customer service. They also have had puppy classes & lots of good pet care info.

This month it will be the 6 year anniversary of when I adopted my kitty baby Kovu from this shelter. I am often told how lucky I am that I found such an amazing cat:) My life has improved so much with his presence, and I will forever be grateful to this shelter and it's employees!

I adopted my beautiful Henry boy from here! I dont know who rescued who, but i do know if it was not for elmbrook I would not have the beautiful family I have. I am so grateful for the great people and the little lives they save!

Awesome place to get a dog. We got out blue nose pitbull from there. She is a super sweetheart. Got super lucky to get a pure bread. Dhe would have been a $1,500. Dog from a breeder. I highlt recommend pitbulls or also called an american staphordshire terrier. They have been given a bad name over the years

The most helpful adoption counselors ever! Love our kitty :)

Best place to adopt an animal. Staff is awesome. Sounds like Madison people are hard to deal with but that's nothing new.

Very friendly staff. If you are reading this you should come down here and adopt a pet and bring them home to their forever home.

Very nice and neat.. Great at comunicating. Very knowledgeable with animals. Great personalitys.

Nice upkeep for kennels and cat area, the staff is always friendly.
