I’ve been coming to the Humane Society since Lima Brewster was the Manager, and have adopted dogs and cats ever since – going on 20 years now! I currently have two dogs I’ve adopted from Donna and the crew, they are both great dogs who are working out well on my farm. The Humane Society has always got nice dogs who need homes, and has always been able to find me just what I want. The puppies look well fed and cared for, and I like to visit with the Staff when I’m in town!

I came in looking for a kitten, having finally gotten my Husband to agree to adopting one, and I found the sweetest kitten, so cuddly and playful! She never stops purring – in fact, when I took her to the Vet for a “well kitten” check, she was purring so hard the Vet could hardly hear her heartbeat! The “Mini-Store” that is located in the new office was very convenient and a great value – I bought everything I needed for my new kitten for a fraction of the prices I would have paid in a regular store. I would rate my adoption experience a “10” as I am very satisfied with the level of service and accommodation the Glacial Lakes Humane Society gives.

I am 12 and a volunteer at the Glacial Lakes Humane Society. I used to think that when I grew up I wanted to be a Veterinarian but now I think I want to work at a humane society or animal shelter. I have been volunteering for about a year now and I love volunteering here – it gives me alot of experience and I hope someday I can work somewhere like this.

We adopted our first dog from the Humane Society over 10 years ago. She was a 3 year old Pug, and a great dog. Our son was in 2nd grade at the time, and she passed when he was a Sophomore in college. We missed having a dog, and our younger daughter, who has allergies, set out to find the perfect dog for our family. She checked out websites of local breeders, and we were prepared to spend $300.00 to $400.00 dollars for a puppy of a hypo-allergenic breed. My wife and daughter stopped at the Humane Society before we left town to purchase a puppy, and happened to find a wonderful 8 month old female poodle mix puppy. She’d only been surrendered a couple of hours earlier. My wife called me out to the Humane Society, and we adopted “Winnifred” and changed her name to “Bella.” We spayed her, got our $25.00 rebate back – she only ended up costing us $50.00! I can’t believe that someone would give this little gem up – but we are happy to have her in our home!

I had lost my precious “big” girl after nearly 10 years and was missing her horribly. My son was a student at LATI and found out about Glacial Lakes. I was looking for another small breed female He brought me home a male Boston Terrier. Even though he was not exactly what I was looking for, he very quickly wormed his way in to my heart. Almost a year later, I am still very grateful for “Lugs”. He brings a smile to my face almost every day. Even though some days I still miss my other dog, I am glad to have Lugs in my life. I was so happy with my rescued dog that when my other son lost his dog recently, we turned to the Humane Society to replace her. Even though dogs from humane societies sometimes come with baggage or from unknown situations if you are patient, you will find a true friend. They are there for you when you need them. All they ask from you is a loving environment. I think in the future I will get all my dogs from the humane society. When we were looking to replace my son’s dog I discovered that had I gotten Lugs from a breeder it would have cost $450-700. For a whole lot less I got a wonderful friend that has filled a giant hole in my heart. Keep up the good work and Thank You very much!!!!
