Honestly horrible. Only reason I go to this place is to get the poor animals out of there. Other than that, the service there is horrible. I called about a dog and tried to put the dog on hold because I live in Topeka which is 30-40 minutes away. I couldn’t put the dog on hold and when I got there, the dog ended up being on hold. So during that 30 minute duration, someone put it on hold. Glad the dog is getting a new home but the service there is horrible. The lady at the front had an attitude. Saying “it happens”. No, it doesn’t happen and I didn’t drive there to get your attitude. You’re the last person an innocent animal needs to be around.

Unfortunately, I had to surrender one of my cats due to a change in his health and behavior. A decision that caused many tears, yet the staff here were very understanding. I know and trust that I left him in good hands. Thank you, LHS.

Got 6 community cats spayed and neutered, shots, and more and didn't get charged a dollar. Glad to hear our shelter isn't rounding up strays and euthanizing, but instead has found an effective "humane" solution. I appreciate all the staff who work so hard to take care of our furry friends. Think about responsibly adopting a pet.

We recently adopted our first, sweet furbaby here. I love the process of signing up for an adoption time because I feel like it gave us a more personal experience and the ability to visit with the kitties without being rushed through or run over by others wishing to adopt. The animals are meticulously cared for. The facility is immaculately clean and the employees are patient, kind and knowledgeable. Our little gal has been healthy, playful and loveable ever since we brought her home. Also, whoever does their social media is AHHMAYZING! ;) ;)

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How far back do your adoption records go?

Jeannie Kleinhammer Tramill | May 18, 2020
Abominable Fuzz-Ball | May 19, 2020

It all depends on how the animal was acquired by the shelter. The categories are 1) Stray animals (found by animal control with some exceptions) 2) Animal surrenders (brought in by the original or adoption owners) 3) Animals born in the shelter by stray or surrendered pregnant mothers (puppies and kittens that are under care of the shelter and fostered until ready for adoption ranging from 8 to10 weeks old). Strays most likely won't have much of a record unless microchiped (even then being difficult for correctly gathering information depending if the owner was the current owner or given to someone through local ads like craigslist. Surrenders depend on how much information and veterinarian records the owner wants to provide. Puppies and kittens have full records provided by the shelter up to their date of adoption. Hope this helps🐶

My friend surrendered a dog a couple weeks ago and I want to adopt him, but I went to the website and he's still not posted ? I don't wanna come down there to find out he isn't there anymore. How do I find out when I can adopt him?

Kylee Jason | May 18, 2020
Brad Hunt | May 19, 2020

I would assume that's what happened as well. The article in the paper said they closed early because they only had 12 cats left.

I had that happen several years ago. Just go up to the main office, and you may have to have some sort of proof that it is your dog. But if you go to main office, or call them, they will tell you what to do.

Dominic Davis | May 19, 2019

The animals at LHS dont have a time limit. :) They also transfer IN from other shelters who might need help, but rarely have to transfer OUT because they have such high adoption rates and so many fosters and volunteers to help.

Henry D'Alessio | May 19, 2019
RAQUEL JIMENEZ | May 20, 2019

Looks like she's scare on you, probably her old owner was treating her badly. Be patient, give her confidence and play with her, when she does tricks give treats straight from your hand to her snout. We have the same situation already like you with our cat Rusty and now he is confident and happy

I was told by animal control that Lawrence Humane Society is a no kill shelter. I had 2 pit bulls placed there on 6/27/2018. I was told that the youngest of the 2 and a female was euthanized by a girl that calls herself Jenny Brady. I need info.

They do have events quite often throughout the year where adoption fees are waived. I got my latest dog Duke and it was free to adopt him cause they were waiving adoption fees at that time to help get more animals adopted to good homes.
