I have not had a good experience in the past with trying to adopt an animal through the whatcom humane society. However, I got my cat spayed through here a couple months ago and they did a fantastic job and are very affordable. I paid 35$ and it included a nail trim. whereas anywhere else I’d pay 400. I’d recommend them if you’re trying to find an affordable place to get your animal neutered/vaccinated.

I cannot speak more highly of Whatcom Humane Society. The staff, mostly volunteers, work incredibly hard for the animals that come into their facility, despite being frequently understaffed. They are very professional and you can tell they also really care about the animals in making sure they end up in a good home. We adopted both our cat, Winnie and our dog Thatcher from them - who will be our furever family members. Thank you WHS! You rock!!

We just adopted the most amazing kitty just in time for Christmas. The staff and volunteers are incredible and helped us find a kitty that fits our family. The animals are so well taken care of. I wish we could have adopted them all.

Throughout my experience it was obvious that the staff truly cared about these animals and genuinely wanted to find good match ups for them and the humans who came there. I love my dog (Rose, in case you were wondering) and have had no surprises as to her level of training and general demeanor
Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
Kittens and cats have different prices, puppies and dogs are also different prices and they also have small mammals to adopt. They also have specials if you adopt 2 at once, so go ahead and give them a visit to see what works best for you.
Yes they pick up lost animals and take in one's brought to them. You must call them ASAP, don't depend on quick response this way. Besides you would need to talk directly to them anyway and how to possibly ID you cat.
According to their website, yes, they do the chips for $20
Call animal control and explain the situation. They will send an officer out to inspect and inform the owner that he needs to get his dogs under control
Yes! They usually don't have a litter of puppies there but check their website! Sometimes they have puppers that are around a year old
WHS is an Open Admission shelter, which means they are required to take whatever animal walks through their doors, regardless of age, breed, temperament, health, etc. They turn NO animal away. This means that often times, they are faced with the hard decision as to what the best option is for the animal. If an animal is in pain, suffering, or has severe behavior problems that pose a risk to public safety, euthanasia can be the most humane outcome. WHS very, very rarely euthanizes for space: every single animal that is healthy and behaviorally-sound will be placed up for adoption, and does not have a “time-limit”. They stay at the shelter until they are adopted. WHS strives to exhaust every possible option for an animal before considering euthanasia. They have a large Foster program, as well as solid working relationships with other shelters/rescues in the area that give them the the opportunity to transfer animals out to environments better suited for their needs. Hope this helps!
They have a section for small animals, but they don't always have birds. If you call, they're happy to tell you if they have any at thst time
Humane Society has a van that comes up every year in the summer and they spay and neuter dogs and cats for free it's usually in the the Chevron parking lot.
Please contact the Humane Society to discuss trapping the cat. They will take strays.
They have a form you have to fill out to foster. Idk if they do house checks at this location though. But it's pretty easy.
It varies depending upon the dog. Our dog was older and the cost was $150
I would try calling to get a faster response honestly
I Don't know that question.
Hi, I would ask the staff at the Humane Society directly. They do take in strays around the local area from what I saw during my visit. They also list the areas where each animal comes from, specifically in reference to this question, their cats. I'd give them a call and inquire directly since this is so specified. 🙂
Walk ins, with number restrictions. Check their website.
We just dropped off four beautiful little fluffy kittens last week
Depends on the age of the cat. Kitten, if I recall correctly, is about $125.
Yes 175
The adoption fee for puppies under 6 month of age starts at $250. If you see a specific pet listed that you are interested in please contact our front desk at (360) 733-2080 ext. 0 for more detailed information. Thank you!
Rescue a hamster where you want. WHS is a great place to save an animal. I just adopted a snake from WHS.
Ditto for above. Also, it helps to come back for personal time by appointment. At least it did for our dog.
We do not have any public veterinary services available beside our low-income spay/neuter assistance program. This is due to a Washington State law that prohibited animal shelters from offering veterinary services to the public. This law was very recently changed however, it will take some time for our facility to see what services we will be allowed to offer and when. Unfortunately there is no estimate yet on when more expanded services will be available. Our recommendation would be to contact local veterinary clinics or visit www.goodneighborvet.com for dates when their mobile wellness clinic will be in our area in July. We wish you all the best!
Yes, we will accept any and all pet related items. Even if items cannot be used directly at the shelter, we also distribute items to members of the community in need of pet supplies. Please keep in mind WHS does not accept any medications, prescription pet foods, household goods (like furniture), or human clothing. Thank you!
Technically youd call animal control or 911 with a non emergency but if the animal responds to and approaches you, you can still bring them in. Remember personal safety though. Even a seemingly friendly animal may be disoriented or confused, and can bite without warning.
I don't know. Give them a call. They'll br glad to help.
I would visit www.whatcomhumane.org/volunteer for information on this :)
I believe so. They just have you answer some questions and you have to sign a paper stating you give up rights to them I believe.
No, you'll have to keep going back in, but if you fill out an adoption form it stays in the records for 6 months. So if you do find the right size dog it'll everything go much quicker.
They will for a fee if I remember correctly. I would just call them and ask.
They offer vaccinations at the time of a spay/neuter if you qualify for their spay and neuter assistance program. Applications are on their website.
They have adult bunnies
Yes, over the summer they do offer a youth program however in general 18 years of age
I think its 50$
I'm not sure if this is a question.
I remember a program they had at the old facility where volunteers could volunteer their time to walk the dogs. They might still have that program. Of course it was a smaller facility so best thing is to call.
The Whatcom Humane Society operates a food bank program allowing pet owners to come in once every 30 days to receive pet food assistance. Our food bank is stocked by generous donations from members of our community and is intended to be a supplemental program, we do not always have enough food to provide a full 30 day supply. To receive food please come by the shelter with your photo identification and staff will assist you with registering for the program. Food bank is available anytime during business hours.
Under comments where you just asked the question or to the Herald
Yes, there is a Foster program.
I'm looking for a min pin to be friends with my older fixed female Min pin. She loves having friends, and I think she would do well with another small dog. Min pins are so fun.
Sorry we do not. We don't have the space. There is however many places around bellingham that do.
Whatcom veterinary in ferndale charged me 120.00 for my big coon-cat cremation. It is well worth the wait and the cost love my pets.
Call them and ask
Yes, she is available! She's on the WHS website if you want to take a look.
We adopted a kitten a couple months ago and it was $110. You would be best to go in and check out what they have and ask questions as to what the cost is and what is included in the price. I know that they do a checkup on the animals, make sure they are spayed or neutered and possibly some shots plus chipping. Good luck.
You can actually google it! Google will lead you to the official online website where you input information about your pet and pay like a $20 something dollar fee, and wait for the kit to come in the mail! But I believe you talk to your doctor about it as well
You could always list them on Facebook or any other sale site (but you want to make sure it’s secure and you choose someone that will be kind to your furry friend!! Or you could bring them to the humane society and they’ll make sure he goes to a good home without other cats if he’s aggressive
Yes..
You might want to try calling the city and find out what the bylaws are they may be able to help you better than the Humane Society.
Yes, you may volunteer. At my orientation there were 3 parent /child teams Mother-Daughter, Father-Daughter, & Mother - Son. Phone the shelter and ask to speak with Carly Brewer the volunteer co-ordinator.
I don't think it costs anything....if its yr dpg yoi sign a release form is all I know ?...just call.....they would rather you give him up than give up on him ♡ we all do ♡
Fish and game is the best bet
You would have to call them and find out
Pl
128-185 dollar if your approved then i probably another $100 to take them to obiedient school but they are having a deal $20 for dog over a year old
Whatcom County
I won't be fostering any animals I wish I could there a websites that can help you.
It's most likely food or environmental allergies. We have a no compete clause with local vets so you have to see your own vet.
