Don't like kill shelters. I feel if I were to adopt an animal from there, that I would just be donating for the next one to be put down.

Sauk County Humane Society is the worst place to go. My cat got out and they wouldn’t give her back to me because apparently I’m an animal user. They told me the only way I could get my cat back is by filling out an application to adopt my own freaking cat! I will never get an animal from them!

One star becuz they exist; how theycontinue is a mystery. What are they trying to hide? A "shelter" thatwon't allow visitors to come in and see the dogs. They only schedule appts. Want you to puck a dog off the internet. We recently stopped to visit and were turned away. We are older & retired. In 2022 we had to put our beloved little schitz-poo that was 6wks.short of being 20yrs.old.Now feel ready for a dog. We don't have internet. Prior to our last dog we adopted a cocker spaniel when we lived in Florida at our HumaneSociety. They let you go through to see& interact w/ all the dogs. Anyone who knows dogs- knows that often the dog chooses you!Pretty sad to know this place continues as is. They have been under scrutiny in the past.Guess itssame old thing... .!

Dropped a dog off that was dropped off at our house. We called the shelter telling them the situation, they completely understood and were nice of us to drop off the dog. We couldn't keep the dog at our house cuz we didn't know the gender and didn't want to leave it out in the cold. They understood and they took the dog in. Found out the next day owner contacted me, contacted the shelter and the dog was home safe with its owner. I recommend them!

Went in to adopt Guinea pig or 2 for a middle school ag class and was denied because apparently dogs at home aren’t spayed and was told this is a tell tale sign of bad pet owners. They have 12 Guinea pigs sitting there some over a year and they denied an ag teacher where they would stay in class.

Was able to adopt Pace 2 months ago (a month & a half after putting my 13 yr old down) It had costed me close to $132.00 to adopt her. If they had put the price on their website, I would've gone somewhere else that didn't cost alot to adopt. But being that I wanted Pace & had filled out the adoption forms, I had to follow through with it. So I had adopted Pace 2 months ago (is almost 6 months old)... Regardless of Precious (9 yrs old blk cat) is still hissing at Pace they are good. (I think Precious is still grieving the loss of Spunky)... Pace is a very playful kitten & is loving. She is a good fit for my little family.

Y'all suck. A family member surrenders 2 cats that were healthy and only 6 and 7 and y'all euthanize them in 2 days. She would have been better off letting them out in the wild they would have survived longer.

If I could give them no stars I would. I turned in my cat because I could not take her where I was moving. A couple days after I called to see how she was doing come to find out they put her down because she was scared. She wasn't sick, she wasn't dieing just scared. Is this really how you take care of animals you are disgusting and I hope no one ever trusts you to shelter there loved pets in hard times. Everyone who works there your disgusting human being, and I hope you have to feel the pain someday that I feel writing this reviewDon't ever use them

Hard working staff - truly wanting the best situation for the animals in their care! Make sure you call to make an appointment to see their sweet animals (I did not do this, but Jon at the front desk graciously allowed me some time to see two sweet kittens) - Jon was so very helpful and kind during a pretty busy time. We brought home the kitties on 9/10 and they are thriving in their new home. We are so happy with our experience at Sauk County Humane Society - check them out - they have so many loving animals that need loving homes.Their names were "Sonny and Cher"....they are now "Daisy" and "Duke":)

I saw Flo (pictured on the chair) on the site Adoptapet. There wasn’t an online application to do so I emailed them and in a day they responded I’d have to call to set up an appointment. Within several days we were able to see her and hangout with her in a kitty play room. It was a great way to meet her. Everyone was very inviting and informative and honest. We ended up really loving her and at the appointment did some paperwork and headed out. I personally love that typically they are not same day adoption as they want to ensure the adoptees are diligent, caring, and the right home. Through their process we could tell how much the employees and business cares to find good homes for their rescues. They are very thorough! We had an amazing time, and I would recommend any good family/person(s) that is ready to adopt to check this rescue out.

My daughter had chosen a kitty that she wanted to adopt. She called and they told her yes, he was available and we set the time and day to go see the animal. The day comes and we arrive only to be told the kitten my daughter wanted, was shipped to another facility an hour away. So we looked at others and she found another she wanted. My children played with her and made up their minds, they wanted this kitten. A few hours Later i played my voice mails to listen to the humane society tell me that the kitten my kids had picked out and played with had a pending adoption so she wasnt available either!! Bad business and just unacceptable. Nothing like telling your children twice in the same week that the animal(s) arent available AGAIN

They are awful. Took my moms 2 cats here(she had passed). Told them if they could not find anyone to take them please contact me. Called the next day to see how they were, they killed them within 3 hours of getting them. Said they were old (2 is old). Told me their teeth were bad, (no they weren't). STAY AWAY NOT A HUMANE SOCIETY.To people asking why I took them there. My brother executive of estate said I couldn't keep them even though I was in my parents home. Another story.

We adopted our wonderful cat from Sauk County and the entire process was pleasant and painless.

I've wanted to share this experience for 3 years. This place is the absolute worst. They will belittle and abuse you.3 years ago, I came in looking to adopt a kitten as the cat I adopted from this very same shelter in 2008 had passed away. He was my very best friend he had been through so much with me. And I was completely broken. My dad suggested to me that we check out the humane society and what a mistake that was. I found a kitten that I liked and felt a connection with. I filled out an application (which was more like filling out an application to go to the moon than to adopt a new companion). I was excited when they asked to set up an interview with me. I went in for my interview around 8 am. and was told it would be a few minutes, so I sat and waited and waited and waited. It was no joke almost an hour later when someone finally talked to me.The lady who spoke to me was cruel to the point I left in tears.First, she kept misprouncing my previous cats name, Lucian (it was pronounced Lu-Shun), not how she said it (Lu-c-ian).Second, she said almost point blank that I killed him. (I did not kill him he had developed clots in his lungs, which escalated to him having seizures)Third, she said he should have lived to be 18. (That's not very probable even with top quality care.)Fourth, she stated that I had not properly mourned him. (Granted, I went in the day that he passed. I was just so broken to having to say goodbye to him and wanted to try to patch the gaping hole in my heart and the empty space in my bed. To this day, I'm still mourning him along with other pets I've had in my life)Fourth, she said I wasn't willing to pay enough for vet visits in a year. (I was blessed with having a vet in my family. So I'm not too familiar with "vet bills" they will stop over and check out the animals and have a talk or whatnot.)I wish this place would get shut down they are cruel to animals and people alike how anyone can support this place is beyond me.I did get a kitten from a friend. And he is the happiest, healthy little boy. Who is very well taken care of and loved very much.The grey white cat is Lucian (RIP) the orange and white is Thane

Every time we've gone to this location or tried to, it's been a disaster. This last time, both my mom and I called separately. I was told there weren't any appointments avaliable today, and then my mom, who called minutes later, was told they could get her in half an hour after they opened. They also refused to let me make an appointment because I'm not yet 20, despite me turning 20 in a few days. They then denied my mom an appointment because of her relationship with me and hung up on her. Terrible experience. I do not recommend going here.
