They made it very easy to find and adopt our dog. The staff is knowledgeable and great to work with.

I love everything about this shelter. Every time I go I see people walking the dogs, checking on them often, and taking care of the cats. All the cages for all animals are very well kept up. We got a sweet pitbull from here about 9 months ago and she has been the biggest blessing in my life and is actually my certified ESA animal now. She’s a cuddle bug and I love her to pieces. The vet at Harbor is even more incredible. She has helped out in every obstacle we had with our dog and now our new kitten. The staff is so friendly, encouraging and passionate about their jobs. I will never shop again I love to adopt and rescue these precious animals. Again this shelter does such an amazing job and all the staff have the biggest hearts for their customers and animals.

We adopted Moose! She's a great Dane and mastiff mix pup. 13 weeks and 43 lbs already! She's very sweet and deserves a good life! I wish the after care was responsive but other than that we had a great experience!

Hello, Don't know who will read this but in the year 2020 and 2021 I adopted 2 cats from harbor humane almost a year apart. The first cat is named Pacha (first picture), he's 3 and the light of my life. However when we adopted him he had a serious wound under his arm that was extremely infected. However that is not what was told to me. It was poorly stitched closed and I was told all I had to do was get the stitches taken out in a week and it would close up on its own. However that was not true. So when I took him to the vet a few days later they let me know the wound was infected and needed serious care that even surgery would probably not fix. It took 3 months of daily water therapy, weekly vet visits and almost $800 to fix. And when I contacted Harbor Humane to tell them of his condition and ask why they didn't tell me, they said they never lied to me and I just didn't understand them. He is now a happy and healthy kitty but it was just short of a miracle he survived after they neglected, how infected it was and gave him multiple useless surgeries. However my second cat wasn't so lucky. I adopted Hummus (second picture) in October of 2021. He was the sweetest cat I have ever met. He had a bit of a cough when I got him but I thought it was nothing I couldn't help fix. When I took him to the vet it turned out he was behind on shots and hadn't been tested for many diseases such as Feline lukemia and intestinal parasites. And of course he had Giardia which is a common parasite in shelter cats. I worked to help cure him but he just seemed to get weaker. Eventually one night he became unresponsive and I took him to the emergency vet where I was told that he had FIP. A incurable disease that makes your body fill with fluid and your blood stop flowing. His body temperature was low and he was in a ton of pain. And this disease spreads like covid does. And he was in a crate with 4 other cats who probably contracted it. At only 5 months old I had to put him down and it was heartbreaking. And when I notified the shelter they never emailed me back. I'm not saying don't support Harbor Humane as I do believe they are over worked and underfunded. But please be careful when adopting there, as many of their animals have not been properly cared for. I know I will not be adopting here again. RIP Hummus

Questions & Answers

My family is looking for a family dog .My brother is 2 years old .Is there any dog that suits my family?

Victoria Tulloch | Apr 25, 2019
Shannon Fahey Bonebrake | Apr 26, 2019

My suggestion is to bring your family there with your 2 year old brother and have a meet and greet with any dog of interest. There are plenty there that need a loving home. Good luck!

But i don't know how to get you in contact with her. Harbor is an excellent place though. And I am truly sorry for tough decision. I hope this helps put your mind at ease.
