Supporting Shelter: BUTTE HUMANE SOCIETY

Supporting Rescue: Never Cry Wolf Rescue & Adoption

Pros: Staff seem genuinely concerned about animals

Cons: They need more room to house animals!

I have been to the Butte Humane Society about 5 times over the past 1 1/2 years for various reasons. Twice I brought in two different strays I found, one was seriously injured. The staff carried the injured dog in from my car, had me fill out paperwork regarding him and gave me a case number so I could keep calling for updates on him. When I called, they efficiently gave me the information I needed. They took this dog right to the vet after animal control examined him and gave them permission to take him to the vet, and he was put in antibiotics, pain meds, etc, and hopefully he will be ready to be fostered soon. All this was done on a saturday, when animal control was officially closed, and they had to take him to the emergency vet, whose prices I think must be higher than the regular ordinarily open vet during business times hours. Then once I had to go in the back to look for my dog. In the back where the dogs are housed, I noticed they each had clean water, a blanket and a doghouse. And the same was true of the dogs kept outside in the front of the shelter. I know it takes a lot of work to make sure each dog has these items. I appreciated the low cost vaccination clinic there on a Sunday afternoon, and the man running it was knowledgeable and friendly. Another time, my dog got attacked by another dog in the park, and it was on the weekend so I stopped by the Humane Society to ask questions and the staff was knowlwedgeable about telling me what I had done wrong, and why the other dog had been promotpted to attached my dog. Overall, I really appreciate the butte humane society, because I know their resources are stretched and tight right now, but the people there have taken the time to answer my questions and are knowledgeable.
