The staff are so kind and sweet. Everyone I talked to was so personable. We’re so thankful for bchs because we were able to find the sweetest pup to add to our family.

I’ve rescued from here and now volunteer. They take great care of their dogs and are a very clean facility. Highly recommended finding your next best friend here!

This place is awful! They don’t bathe the dogs and let their skin issues get worse! Poor little dog smelled like a dead animal! I tried to rescue the dog and everything went great the first day I saw her. Then when I returned after she was spayed to take her home I forgot her leash! The younger blonde girl up front went ballistic on me and was very rude and condescending! I tried to apologize and said I live in the country and don’t use a leash often. She didn’t want to hear anything I had to say after that and took the dog from me and said “She has lice!” We’re not going to approve the adoption! I was so heartbroken and sad! They are judgmental and rude people and I am devastated! Thanks for nothing brown county animal cruelty shelter!

This shelter is amazing. We were trying for her brother but he was already for foster but she chose us. McBeth is a queen.

Recently adopted from them for the 1st time. Drove almost 2 and a half hrs 1 way to meet our sweet little girl, and SOOO glad we decided to bring her into our tiny family. Staff was extremely kind & helpful, excellent with coordination, and even patient in understanding I had to wait about 5 days after speaking with them before we were able to make the drive to meet Othelia (busy work schedule). She was up to date on all vaccines, wormed, microchipped (small extra fee - but worth it), spayed (BIG plus), and instantly the sweetest and most loving girl my children and I had ever met. They returned my call quickly a couple of weeks after we brought her home, following a voicemail I had left about a minor health concern. She's all taken care of and great to go now!! She may be the most intelligent dog I've ever owned and is learning SO fast, as well as a ton of really cool tricks! She loves jumping onto and over our backs when "balled up" face down to the floor, jumping through hula hoops, racing through her tunnel, and all around learning in general. She is obsessed w/playing w/our other dog (he had been staying with my dad for awhile as companion animal) and enjoys going to grandpas house to visit for the evening when her new brother goes back for a short while. I know that part has nothing to do with the operation of the shelter as a business, but we are just beyond pleased with them helping us to bring our new family member home. Thank you for allowing Othelia (now named Kinley) to be a permanent part of our family!! Will definitely be referring others to Brown County Humane Society!

My dog got lost . I finally found out where he was. This place had him. My dog has had allergy problems. He had made himself bad. I was hoping they would help him get better. I was hoping they would work with me to get him back. But no, she talks to me like I'm criminal. I love my Turkey Tom so much. There's not a day go by I don't cry over him. My dog is 8 years old. I think that is cruelty to keep my dog from me. I just want my dog back. I think this gal thinks she's God. She places judgment over people she don't even know.

It was horrible! They yelled at me for not having a leash on my little dog. Then blondie continued to say things, being sarcastic. She’s needs better people skills! She DOESNT know everything!!

My boyfriend and I were very interested in adopting a kitten they had posted and we submitted an application to their email and followed up the next day via phone call. the lady I spoke with was very nice, said she’d call me back later or the next day. she didn’t. so I called and left a message, no call back. my boyfriend sent another email to them and no response back. very unprofessional in my opinion. if you truly want to get cats adopted into their forever homes you would think you’d call people back or atleast have the decency to tell them they weren’t approved or whatever.

we have since adopted another kitten here in NY from a very lovely shelter who is very good at communication.
