I adopted a pet that I was told was dog selective. I understood that going in, being a prior multiple pit owner this is understood since most pit owners don't socialize them. Then I found this facilities facebook page and noticed they list her as absolutely NO dogs...Issue 1: I was told it was $150 on the phone. At time of adoption I was told $300. My paperwork was clearly sitting in eye view and said $150. After pointing out I was told it was $150 I was charged $150.Issue 2: the short meet & greet with Cora and our dog went well enough to decide too give the adoption a test run.Issue 3: During the 2 minute sign here, initial all these spots. I didn't even think about this but....if they give and offer 6 weeks free professional classes offered for "reactivity" why haven't they given Cora this class on there own?Issue 4: No where in Cora's profile did it state:-She food guards...-She toy guards...-She even crate guards... --- in home our dog couldn't even walk near the crate while she's in it. Snarled, shows teeth, growls, barks, side eyes, snaps at air, lunges.-Shes biten multiple (not 1) young children according to the documents. Photo attached of document.***Apparently this facility does not test these things. They're not important things for them to test or disclose up front.***Issue 5: this baby lost weight in the care of CRHS... She's probably hangry. I clearly just thought, She'll put that back on at my home and dismissed it.Issue 6: only discovered today a week after this review originally posted but this CRHS has a facebook post about Cora that says absolutely NO dogs. This bit of information should have been discussed during the initial phone conversation. Period.*1 Star review because*-The above undisclosed information.-They will not refund (contract) and/or would not pick up Cora and consider my money a donation covering Cora's adoption fees. I gave them both options.-Cora's white ear was disgusting. See photo****"My precaution: Please do not have kids period or any kind of pet in your home. No cats, no dog(s), nothing that you love.*****Period.

Info incorrect. Not in system with adopted animal. Wanted soft paws that Hunter suggested. Not in system and yet aware of my account.

Dropped them a dog crate so they could use it or pass it along.

They were holding my dog while I was looking for her. Thank goodness for my microchip. She did very well and everyone at the shelter loved her and had to pet her on the way out. I'm glad my baby was treated well.

I have to say, you all are incredible & I love what you do. I would've loved any kitty but my Orion is THE BEST. We've been playing games together (mainly him just pawing at my tablet, & snuggles if it's not actual toys; have the best being shipped tomorrow now, knowing what he likes) Thank you haha...I look forward to when he & Luna can be close. <3

I have nothing but amazing things to say about my interaction here.The staff here genuinely cares about who their adopted animals are going to, they are extremely thorough on expectations, and literally will do anything to set you up for success. You literally couldn't ask for more out of an organization.I just wanted to take a second to praise and celebrate everyone who takes their time to make Coulee Region Humane Society the beautiful place it is. Thank you for bringing our new family member into our livesBest wishes,Bikini's Dad

I adopted a pet that I was told was dog selective. I understood that going in, being a prior multiple pit owner this is understood since most pit owners don't socialize them. Cora would make an amazing dog for anyone without kids, not wanting kids and absolutely no pets. None. Issue 1: I was told it was $150 on the phone. At time of adoption I was told $300. My paperwork was clearly sitting in eye view and said $150. After pointing out I was told it was $150 I was charged $150. Issue 2: Our 10 minute dog meet and greet, 10 minutes...(Cora and our dog went well enough, one lunge incident that we thought was playful, damn were we wrong). Issue 3: During the 2 minute sign here, initial all these spots. I didn't even think about this but....if they give and offer 6 weeks free professional classes offered for "reactivity" why haven't they given Cora this class on there own? Issue 4: No where in Cora's profile did it state: -She food guards... -She toy guards... (Paperwork from prior surrender stated this.) -She even crate guards... --- in home our dog couldn't even walk near the crate while she's in it. Snarled, shows teeth, growls, barks, side eyes, snaps at air, lunges. -Shes biten multiple (not 1) young children according to the documents.

I clearly just thought, She'll put that back on at my home and dismissed it. Issue 6: only discovered today a week after this review originally posted but this CRHS has a facebook post about Cora that says absolutely NO dogs. This bit of information, I most certainly know they most certainly indeed did steal my money and knew it. *1 Star review because* -The above undisclosed information. -They will not refund (contract) and/or would not pick up Cora and consider my money a donation covering Cora's adoption fees.

This shelter is awful! Our dog, Buddy (White Lab/Pitbull Mix) was taken in, the other day. He got out and we didn't realize he ran off. Nevertheless, someone picked him up from the Bangor location and brought him to Onalaska. It's my bf dog so he called several times.. he confirmed that the dog was his and even had paperwork to prove. They promised us several days , to get him back. Yet, they already put him up for adoption and changed his name to Nimbus and put him down as a different breed. Tell me who tf n what kind of animal shelter does that?? Pretty sure it's illegal. I'll be getting in touch with someone soon, regarding this.P.s. the ONLY name, he will respond to, is buddy. I've lost interest/faith in this animal shelter. They lock their animals in cages. It's horrible! Do NOT recommend!

In October 2022 my family adopted Einstein as a kitten after we put down our 15 year old cat to be a companion for our other senior. In January we had to unexpectedly put down our senior due to mouth cancer. That left Einstein alone, we wanted him to have a companion. In February 2023 we adopted (Piglet) now Marlin. They were both wonderfully socialized kittens. I'm grateful for the fosters that socialize the kittens and cats to make them great additions to our families. After just 2 weeks Einstein and Merlin are BFFs. Not to mention how they stole our hearts. My kids are so happy with their kittens that they got to pick out.

Today is the 2nd time I've adopted from Coulee Region Humane Society! The experience has never been better. They care about the animals they have in and ensure they are going to a great home. I just wish I had a farm so I could adopt all the animals! The staff is wonderful!

All kittens are adorable right? Well, we were looking for the right personality and CRHS came through for us. They were professional, considerate, respectful, I would highly recommend them.Why the right personality? We have a 5 year old rescue puppy. (He will always be a puppy in our hearts.) He is loving, cuddly at times, playful, intelligent, high energy and can be quite intense. He is probably a border collie and Australian shepherd mix. We decided that adopting a kitten would be ideal for us but we needed the right one.I poured over the descriptions of the kittens but none sounded like a good match until I found Miss Maisy. (Her new name) She was the only one who was described as would like a playful dog. Having the detailed descriptions made all the difference and gave us the confidence that we found our new fur baby. We didn't need the meet and greet. We found her.The last 10 days have flown by and she has brought so much joy. We feel incredibly blessed with our newest family member.We planned to follow the instructions on how to introduce her to Koda and our home but she had other ideas. We set up the guest bedroom for her safe room and she was only content there for 2 days. On the third day Koda my constant companion, had to leave my home office and Maisy crawled all over me and explored while I worked. That evening and the next I sat on the floor in the hall with her door open all evening. She would scamper out to me and see Koda. Pretty soon they were sniffing each other and within 2 days she was exploring her new home. She is actually quite snuggly when she doesn't have new territory to explore or some other intriguing thing to focus on.Thank you Coulee Region Human Society for bringing us together. She is such a joy!
