Humane Society of Southern Arizona

Their low cost clinic enables me to take good care of 4 rescue dogs that would otherwise need a home. Frankly, it has done a better job with "wellness" exams than either of the two pricey private vets I used to visit (one of whom I blame for repeatedly not reporting an elevated temperature that ultimately caused the death of my dog). The staff has guided me wisely to select new dogs to join my little pack. They also allow "extended" test drives of the old and new dog on leashes at their facility to make sure the match is good. As the dogs share kennels, each dog's general aggressiveness towards other dogs has already been tested and proven. Still, one must be very careful, for weeks if not months, when new dogs are together, to make sure jealousy or dominance or greed over food does not create danger.

Brace yourself, for being thoroughly interegated by a 20 year old, over your "wall level", other pets you've brought to meet the new pet, along with THREE hours wait time, after a scheduled appointment .......

Then bring the Humane Society's competent, HS evaluated dog home, who then kills your beloved terrier by ruthlessly shaking him.

Console yourself, knowing you signed a contract, whereby the Humane Society has no responsibility for anything.

Feel even better, when the organization tells you: They're placing the returned dog in another adoption center.



Be Warned.
