I believed what the avertisement states...they protect animals. I called and got information on rescuing a badly neglected 5 month old female Pit Bull. This little lady is so very loving and submisive but has always been tethered to a fence. No human touch, no playing. I feed her through a fence and sit and scratch and pet her for about 10-15 minutes every day. I though the Humane Society could assist me, but instead, when I went there they said they couldn't help. That if she was brought in she would be killed...that they did not adopt pit bulls out. How very sad. This pup would make a wonderful pet. She is young enough to train and socialize.

So now I am seeking assistance from out of state...how sad.

I did not know that the Humane Society could be so heartless. The TV ads don't show all the reality of what they do. I have called trying to speak to the directors but have yet to reach anyone.

Highly recommended the SPCA in Hou. I have adopted 2 Chis from Hou SPCA and I have nothing but praising for their services. I went to one place on Westheimer, Hou to see a Pom after all my phone calls were not answered. I was told ,the Pom was a lost and found , so the earliest I could adopt the Pom was the next five days.I came back 2 days later with a friend and I as told the Pom was already been adopted. I called another place on West Little York for a Chi, my appointment was cancelled later in the evening and was re-scheduled for 9 am the next morning. I showed up at 8:30 am to be told the Chi was adotped by one of a staff member. At SPCA in Hou,I don't have to beg to have these little animals. I don't have to allow some stranger to come to my house in a gated community in Katy area,to check the condition of my house. If you do not want to waste your time and if you want to be treated with decency and compassion, do not go to these little grooming places for adption a pet, GO TO THE SPCA HOU.

i called on a friday to report a horse that is located on 34th st. that is left unattended for long period of time and with no food to be seen, let alone standing on three legs, on concrete. i called spca on friday 11/14 to give a report, came back on monday, to see the horse there. called spca, told that a ms. sunberg was handling the matter. called lelft mess. on voice mail. no return call to me. wednesday, horse still there. called spca. given a name by mr. price. left mess on voice mail. no return ph. call. friday. again. horse still there. called again, given another name. by b. mcclintock. but, first. i ask to speak to manager. the girl there would not let me speak to a manager. stating there is no one to speak to me. but, talking to another girl there in the office repeating everything we were talking about, when she was instructed by this person to hang up on me. look people, it not about us. it's about the animals or pets. L. graven, you should look into what you hire. just poor behavior. just rude people over there. rude.

Unfortunately, my beautiful puppy that I adopted from the SPCA was recently diagnosed with distemper- a deadly and highly contagious virus. It begins as an upper respiratory infection and progresses to the brain causing a long and miserable death. He did contract distemper from the shelter (according to the ER vet) and this happens more often than anyone would like. When I called to let the shelter know what happened (after having to put my dog down), the staff was incredibly cold and said that they could do nothing to protect the other dogs and that there are too many animals to know or prevent any further adoptions of animals that only have a couple of weeks to live. They had no intention of quarantining, disinfecting or anything. So please be very careful. Although I do not blame them for not knowing that Marley had distemper, I do blame them for not doing all that they can so that other dogs and owners do not have to go thru the incredibly sad and traumatizing experience that he, his dad and I just went thru. I expected for the SPCA to be more compassionate and, spoke to the VP of the shelter and he assured me that they WOULD do all they could, but I have a feeling the call center, although incredibly cold and insensitive, was just telling me the truth. Please be careful. I would never want anyone to have to do what we had to do. However, it is so important that these sweet dogs have a home. Don't give up adoption, but ask about respiratory issues before you take them home and fall in love.

We found a dog, the sweetest dog ever, My kids brought it to the SPCA thinking they would find a home for her. She tested positive for heart worms ( a most times curable condition) The SPCA does not treat dogs with heart worms they kill them. We adopted her back the next day. Took her to my vet having her treated for heart worms and any other health problems. Her health improved quickly and dramatically. After some months we inquired as to the advisability of having her spayed. My Vet said he had not had a problem with dogs being treated with heart worms, Apparently evenif they do not feel the dog is ready they will do it anyway. After many reassurances we brought her in to be spayed. The SPCA had down the wrong information concerning her treatment. Finally they are so busy (not busy enough to really tend to your dog) That when she was bleeding internally it took them way to long to notice, even when she could not be wakened hours later they took no action...not until it was too late and she was critical. Even at that point they did not do tranfusion but waited too long to even think about it. Daisy died of nothing more than neglect on the part of the SPCA. Pay the extra and have your personal vet only deal with your dog. They told me we never have a dog die after spaying I hope they don't tell you the same thing. Mine did die and I miss her terribly. She was the sweetest most loving dog I have ever known. She deserved better. I am a regular donator to the SPCA in an effort to save animals.
