Souris Valley Humane Society

Over the last two years, I have adopted three animals from SVHS (two adult labs and an adult cat) . Every time I had a pleasant experience. The staff is helpful and friendly, and the kennels and facility are kept very clean. You can tell that they really care for the animals. Yes, they do have an application process, but they have this so they can best match the pet with the family. Besides, it's a small price to pay when you are saving a life. I have always been very happy with the service I received here. I would highly recommend this animal shelter to other people.

I understand there has to be some kind of vetting of potential animal owners, but the Humane Society goes too far in my opinion. I got a cat from them a couple years ago. I had to provide 2 references in addition to a lot of other documentation about the hours I worked, the time I was home, etc. Then they have a 72 hour waiting period to do a background check on you and call both your references. Then you sign a contract to never give away your pet. What a pain.

The animal shelter is a very clean, respectable business. However, I feel they somewhat discriminate against the military. The military do move quite often, but most take their pets with them.
