Do you guys ever answer the phone? Been calling for over two weeks.

Manu Carballo | Nov 1, 2018
Alex Toth | Nov 1, 2018

Best thing to do is go in! They do so much for that it can be difficult to have someone available on the phones in each office to answer any questions. Furthermore, I know that their phone systems do have problems because there is so many lines I guess. Furthermore, leave a voicemail or shoot them an email and they'll be back to you!

Do you give rabies vaccines?

Linda Thomas | Nov 1, 2018
Alex Toth | Nov 1, 2018

As a general rule, unless otherwise noted such as a pet too young, all adopted pets are all caught up on vaccination and microchipped. For follow up vaccination, it is always a better idea to go to your local vet and get a regular check up along with further vaccination to better protect your pets before they get sick. They occasionally have options open to the public for specials like certain vaccinations and microchips, but for further information please call the front desk. Again, I would suggest getting a local vet and a relationship with them. Cheers!

What is the current number ? They dont never answer the phone

Hennessy Glo | Nov 1, 2018
Cornelius Holliday | Nov 1, 2018

448-0088 To be fair they stay pretty busy there at the Humane Society. The person at the front desk has to handle many tasks...

Why aren't kittens tested for FeLV prior to adoption and placed in homes where other animals are living?

Jennifer Collins | Nov 1, 2018
Amber Woody | Nov 1, 2018

As an employee of LHS, I can tell you that we combo test (FIV, FeLV) ALL of the cats that come through our doors. We cannot put a cat in a room until it has been tested. FeLV cats can only be adopted to homes with no other cats.

Do yall euthanize cats?

Brandon Briscoe | Nov 1, 2018
Nina C | Nov 1, 2018

They will put the cat to sleep if and when they are severely ill and it would be inhumane to keep them alive any longer. However, as it has been stated, they are a No Kill Shelter. They do not euthanize for cases of overpopulation in the shelter or when the animal is slightly ill. If you have an animal that you feel needs to be euthanized, they will encourage you to take lengths to either work with the animal or rehome them before bringing your animal to LHS.
