Elkhart County Humane Society

The staff at the Humane Society are wonderful. They have a genuine love for the animals they care for. The staff is friendly and helpful and I just can't say enough positive things about them. They treat every animal as though they are a special angel from God, which they absolutley are. These poor animals who are heartlessly dumped into the night deposit boxes by cruel, uncarring monsters, must be scared to death, are then received into the loving arms of the staff. Sadly, there is a need for the night deposit boxes, for those spinless wonders who would just as soon dump their pet out of their car on some street corner or park. Some people really should not be allowed to have children and or pets. It's sad that there is a need for shelters but I am thankful they exist.

My only wish is that they would stop the practice of euthanizing old, sick, or aggressive animals. Personally, I think the owners of these animals should be euthanized and the animal provided for the rest of their natural life!

Pros: Staff truely loves and cares for the animals

Cons: euthanizes

The Shelter does a great job with their building. The building is old, but is well kept and clean.

The staff is very dedicated to the animals. Has a great volunteer group that conducts fundraisers and adopt-a-pet events.

Pros: Clean and organized, dedicated staff

Cons: Need more space and kennels with outside access
