At first I felt like nobody wanted to do their job. That's my fault. At second encounter and second attempt for help the that was amazing I brought in two dogs that I found on the 4th of July weekend they were on the freeway one of them was chasing cars. They were able to help me gather them after they were accidentally set loose again. Thanks for the hot dog trick and thanks for the patience helping them get back in the car. They were returned to the rightful owner!

I would love to adopt a dog here but nobody is answering the phone and it's by appointment only.The pictures that they have sharedOn the website show the animals look very very sad and unkept and sickly. Someone needs to revamp the facility so these animals can find loving homes. I'm hoping that I will be contacted before my dog is euthanized!!!

Got an amazing cat from amazing staff and the care that they provided blew me away. Clean place and friendly staff definitely made it a pleasant experience. Going to get my next animal from this shelter.

Who is making these adoption fees?? $700 for a puppy with no health testing. An obese senior dog is ALSO $700?! No wonder their kennels are full... these poor dogs are literally homeless and being sold for barely less than what a responsible breeder would charge. The staff I spoke to didn't even feel comfortable charging that much! They don't even do rabies vaccines or heartworm testing. Surrounding rescues max out at $300, do more for the dogs, and aren't getting funded by the towns. Place is run like a pet store, not a humane society.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I hear about the yorkies.. I will be glad the have one.. any available?

RNJ Colom lopez | Apr 30, 2019
merrilee deaton | May 1, 2019

I watched the Live they did and they have to be assessed first..they said maybe some of the adults will be up for adoption next week

Are you taking kittens I have two that were found along hey 410

Barbara Lynch | Apr 30, 2018
Carol Perkins | May 1, 2018

I went to BFHS a week ago. They do take kittens because they are easy to rehome.They ask for an adoption fee when possible to help pay expenses.

So if someone brings in a pet that is never adopted you will keep it forever and never kill it?

Kristopher Storves | Apr 30, 2018
Natalie Hernandez | May 1, 2018

They will do their best to find a home for the animal but at risk of the animals mental state declining as shelters are stressful no matter how nice or new then they will seek a transfer partner of another no kill shelter to give the animal more chances of finding a forever home

Do you still have bobby

Amie Olson | Sep 2, 2021

They have dogs on site, any dog they have available you can find through PetFinder.com and send in a form of interest, and if they like what they see they will send you an application. Otherwise you can call and set up and appointment with whichever dog you're interested in. You can also stop by between 11-4 Tues-Fri and pick up an application and scroll through the dogs they have available on their inventory tablet they have for guests.

I need community service in order to graduate high school. I am 15 years old turning 16 this year, will I be able to walk dogs, help you guys out in any way to get my community service hours in? Thank you for your time. :)

SavannahRose Inglis | Apr 30, 2020

They do help out with community service hours, just go to the front desk, ask for a volunteer packet and they with set you up with an orientation. Once that is completed you will be able to help out the shelter with all it's needs. Good luck @spicyboi

Aeria | Apr 29, 2020
gelzar santos | Apr 30, 2020

And dont purchase or adopt pets. Unless you can take care of yourself and live well. If you wonder how you are going to make it. And or live to rely on the system. Pets for you probably aren't in the cards.

Lorence Pfaffle | Apr 29, 2020
Patti Hamilton | Apr 30, 2020

This time of year, post birthing season, my guess would be lots to choose from to complete your family. I was there early spring, less to choose from, yet I found the puppy I'd spent 2 years searching for. I'm sure you'll be pleased choosing this shelter.

Yes I m sure they do. FYI the pop popularity of that breed is falling and failing. Next time u decide to breed consider the probable outcome. Because if you don't ( you may have to put down your puppies).!

How much does it cost to spay my cat??

Bailey Christianson | Apr 30, 2019
karin hudgins | May 1, 2019

if you own your cat there is a place on Clearwater close to the 395.. drawing a blank on the name (just had surgery) They spay at about one half the cost of a vet. I don't think the humane society says unless the cat comes from there

We are thinking about putting down our dog and cremate him. Do you do this kind of service?

Rodalina Dell-Wheaton | Apr 30, 2019

It is a no kill shelter. The reason for the price is they have there shots, exams and my be fixed to or they give you a coupon to PPOP for that. It's to help feed the animals, since it is a non profit.

Does the humane society do euthanization to pets for a reduced cost?

I m sure they would work with you. However I will tell you if your looking for a great companion ( loving,smart, easygoing and lazy like a cat). Look into adooting a retired Greyhound. Go to Yahoo and google greyhoundpetfinder Woodinville Wa. They are the forever 🐕 for dog and cat lovers. Again reasearch Greyhoundpets Woodinville Wa.

What are your pitbulls like? I am intrested in adopting one

Vampire shamanic Pagan | Apr 30, 2019
gelzar santos | May 1, 2019

There is a reason pitbulls are given away and let go. If you are unable to take care of yourself and or dont have a job or your dwelling looks and smell like a dump. These or sny other animals aren't for you. However if you have an amazing carrer and work hard at working and are responsible. Do it!

How much are the small dogs

Life In My Universe | Apr 30, 2019
Kim Ballantyne | May 1, 2019

gis c | Apr 30, 2019
Susan Boone | May 1, 2019

They do take cats , but there is an owner surrender fee.Right now they are overwhelmed by a large number of dogs they just rescued from a pet hoarding situation . Another resource you might check into is POPP. They take in cats and dogs send them home with fosters and eventually forever homes.

How do you become a foster for the girlies. I would like to volunteer my time. I am a single woman, retired and have lots of time and love to share for some dogs and pups

Laura Dampman | Apr 30, 2019

Scott Losey | May 1, 2018

They do not do rescues like that. BFHS is owner surrender. If you are in Benton County you will want to call Benton County K9 Control. Also non emergency dispatch can give you the correct number to call for your area.

They typically ask for a $50 surrender fee to help go towards his microchip, neuter, shots, flee treatment, dewormer, and anything else he might need. If you can't afford that you can still work something out with them.

Do you still have Leroy Brown?

c Losey | May 1, 2018

This is a no kill, animal surrender shelter. You cannot just drop her off. Yhere is paperwork so they can help find her a home and a fee? If she is not yours how do you know she is 5months old?

Trapped a feral cat. Where can I take her for spay ?

Smeegal Gollum | Apr 30, 2018
Natalie Hernandez | May 1, 2018

If you have trapped a feral cat prevent homeless pets (PHP) in Benton county does offer spay and neuters for feral cats for fairly cheap around $20. It would be best to call first telling when you plan to have the animal caught, so they have room for you the next day or so. It always helps the community if you tell people your plan so that we can accomodate everybody.
