I found a dog on a very hot summer day and dropped her off here in hopes of finding a microchip. Staff were responsive and friendly. I had to show them ID in addition to signing paperwork. We did find the owner and they were reunited. There is a 72 hr holding period should anyone want to adopt a newly rescued stray. The parking lot is limited in spaces, however WA has many animals and the staff are doing great considering the capacity of animals they help. They also offer many services like veterinarian care for pets at discounted prices. Thank you Auburn Humane Society for loving the lost and stray animals of our community.

I went to donate some pet carriers and it was about three minutes before closing. Staff was incredibly kind. All smiles and laughs while waiting for me to unload my car.

We had to take our 13 year old cat to get euthanized and the staff was so respectful and caring for the situation. It was the most difficult thing my family has had to decide on since (Tyre or cats name) was rapidly losing weight and needed more surgery to remove her lower teeth. It broke my heart but, I couldn't watch her suffer any more..

The staff are very polite and sweet and even though we selected a cat that was on adoption hold, they made sure to call as soon as she was able to be adopted. They had a tablet for any and all questions. Please, adopt an animal

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

There is a animal shelter in auburn. Also call them directly to get the size requirements. That would be most helpful for you. And I'm sure they are very appreciative that you do that for the animals. 💕

Kayla Richardson | Jan 13, 2020

Minimum work age is 16. If you are under the age of 18, you might be asked to provide proof that you are able to work outside of school.

I need to get my dogs rabies shot,but have little money. How can I find help. Cindy

Cynthia Wagner | Jan 12, 2020
Stella Guibao | Jan 13, 2020

Hi Cynthia. You can all the Auburn Valley Humane Society place but we use Sumner Veterniary Hospital which they are open 24 hrs when we needed to get something done for our puppy. Try there because the pet stores for us were a lot more expensive then they were that's why we've been using the one in Sumner. If you don't have a lot of money they work with you too which is a plus. I think it depends on weight and size dog but call I could be wrong. Good luck 👍

Can you just go to play with the animals?

notvines | Jan 12, 2020
Jordan Echaniz | Jan 13, 2020

Technically no, you aren't allowed to just play with them. If you want to adopt one, however, you can in a meet and greet room. Or if you want to volunteer by walking dogs or cleaning the cat rooms. Don't worry, the animals get plenty of socialization through the volunteers. If you just want to play with animals, I suggest going to a cat cafe, dog park, etc :)

There was a notice about 2 lost German shepherds about 2 or 3 months ago. Does anyone know who posted it on Auburn Way s. Woman in Carnation is trying to catch 2 shepherds that hang out near her home. Thought it might be the 2 shepherds posted.

Jordan Echaniz | Jan 13, 2019

Contact the shelter through their website or phone number for a faster reply. I'm not sure they check here. I hope those dogs get found.
