Humane Society of the Palouse

Wonderful facility with lots of friendly people. Always a fun place to visit and say hi to animals. They also have a decent sized dog park with a couple places to sit at along with plenty of space for your animal companion to run or just vibe!

The humane society of the Palouse was a pleasure to adopt from. I am from Canada and was visiting some friends in eastern WA when we chose to stop by shelters as I had been looking for a new dog. After stopping by a few different shelters, we went to HSP and were treated by friendly staff. I found Finn (Named Archie at the time) and knew imiddetly that I found my next pup. HSP approved new as an adopter within an hour and made sure I have all the necessary things to get my new fur baby home to Canada. Finn has come so far from the scared stray he once was and I couldn’t be happier.

Fantastic park. Summer is probably the best condition wise because it's driest. The park has some bark coverage but also dirt and grass in areas of heavy play. Winter is great when there is snow on the ground, however, while it is melting when spring comes along can make for a muddy mess. The regular park attendance have a great attitude towards dogs rough housing and playing with each other. I found this really nice because at some others parks I've been to when dogs are rough housing there has been people upset about "fights" when clearly both dogs are having fun playing with each other. Most of the regulars also have a great compassion for people trying to socialize their less then social dogs. I thought this was a fantastic aspect to the park. As dog owners we all know sometimes our dog has a little attitude and the best way to address it is to socialize them more but some times accidents happen and dogs snap at each other. The understanding of the parks group to want to help others socialize their dog has been one of the main reasons I will continue to be a regular attendant

I saw that there was no review for this wonderful shelter, so I knew I had to post the first one! I have spent many hours at this shelter petting cats during the time I was working on getting an emotional support animal. It was incredibly helpful for me, and it was great to see how well all the animals were being treated. The cats get a lot of visitors whether they're in the cat rooms or in their own space, so they're never left to sit alone. There are adoptions all the time and it made me happy to see some of my favorite animals go to new homes. A month or so ago, when I was finally approved for an emotional support animal, I went and adopted my cat Lucy, who was named Grace at the time. She has definitely come out of her shell since she has become accustomed to her new living situation, and she's even more happy and excitable than she was when I first met her. The staff was incredibly helpful in getting the paperwork necessary for her allowance into my housing and were wonderful through the entire process. I was very glad to be able to support this local shelter when taking home my very important pet. I know she was well taken care of (and one of the favorites of a staff member!), and I hope to soon get another cat to join Lucy as she absolutely LOVES other cats! I would definitely recommend adopting from this shelter, the fee is well worth it, and you can be sure that the animal you are getting came from a safe and healthy environment.
