Humane Society of Greater Dayton

Our family adopted a rabbit from HSGD about 2 weeks ago. The pre-adoption process was great and we were really feeling good about adopting from here. Unfortunately, once we got to the actual adoption meeting with the meet and greet, we were not impressed. I asked the adoption coordinator and the foster mom several times, "when was the last time the bunny saw the vet?" and "when was her last annual exam?". The foster mom had no idea and the adoption coordinator just kept telling me that I needed to take her to a vet....well duh! Sadly the humane society had no idea when the last time a 3 year old bunny that they have had since birth was seen by a vet! She also had no idea when her teeth were last checked (she just kept saying they didn't need it). That was just sad! She also proceeded to tell me that I needed to make sure she has kitty flea and tick medicine (and when she mentioned it to the foster mom....she replied that she has never done that and didn't know about it). Seriously.... how can the humane society not require their animals under the care of foster parents to follow all medical needs? I do not blame the foster mom at all and I think she was great and probably simply had a rabbit dumped on her with no help or guidance from the humane society. I have had rabbits before (which they knew, but the adoption coordinator continued to talk to me and my husband like we were idiots and first time bunny owners). The saddest thing of all is the fact that after two weeks, no person from the the HSGD has contacted us to check on the rabbit. If they truly cared, they would be calling new owners to check in. I guess they must not care that much.....so disappointing. I could have had the same treatment of lack of concern for the animal and not able to produce medical records from a bunny off of Craigslist. Next time I adopt, I will go to another shelter.

These are the most energetic animal lovers you will ever meet!!! When I found out they are a hardcore NO-KILL shelter and they are the only animal agency that does animal neglect investigations and seizures, I wanted to volunteer to support their selfless efforts. If you love animals, the Humane Society of Greater Dayton is the premier place for adoptions, fun events and volunteering!

My boyfriend j. Garrison picked up his 2cats from his Mom, n 1has a bad head injury w/bleeding from the mouth. He's afrd because he doesn't have any money to do anything for the animal,not to mention we're not allowed pets so they stay locked n his bath. Please can someone call n advise this man! !!!?

I have been to the Humane Society of Greater Dayton and every time I have been there the animals pens were always clean! All the animals looked healthy too! And if I need a question about an animal there was always someone there to help me out. This is truely a place that cares about the animals health, safety, and welbeing. I would recommend Humane Society of Greater Dayton to anyone who is looking to add a furry friend on to your family.Sincerely, Rebecca Moeller
