The Humane Society of St. Lucie County

We decided to visit the Humane Society last Tuesday “just to look at the animals “. My husband has wanted a pet to keep him company while I’m at work so we decided to look. Dominique, the feline manager, helped introduce us to a few of the cats and Curt and Amethyst immediately bonded.(Mind you there were many wonderful cats but these two clicked.) Needless to say she came home with us and has been the purrrfect match for him! She follows him around, dolphins constantly, catnaps on the headrest of his lounge chair when he sits down and thinks that our lizards are great entertainment. Sweetie as we call her was not eating the first few days and Dominique has been right there with calls and text to help us out with ideas and support all week. After 2 days she finally decided food was good

I walked in this building in tears because I had to get rid of my puppy and was immediately spoken to in a very rude manner by a guy that was working in receiving. I was so upset by how I was treated I walked out without saying anything. I do not recommend bringing your dogs. As if I was not already filled with enough grief. I left even sadder than I was before I came.

This is the best run and best kept humane society, animal shelter that is also a no kill shelter that I’ve ever witnessed. They take good care of all the animals to the best of their ability, and they are constantly expanding, trying to make it more comfortable for the animals themselves. They work with the community and outreach people to assist with food programs so that they, the people, can keep their animals rather than having to give them up.

What a great facility! We’ve adopted our dog this past weekend and had the best smooth adoption experience. Save a life, adopt a pet! Everyone deserves a home, especially on holiday!

So many deserving beautiful furry faces just waiting to have a furever home! The staff here are wonderful and knowledgeable too, they really do care for these animals. They often run specials on adoptions such as "free adoptions weekends" or "name your price" adoptions. So if your thinking of getting a new furry family member or another to join the one(s) you may already have please check them out!
