Why people love Monroe Humane
- ★★★★★
“They were great, we adopted a bonded pair, made the process extremely easy for us. They're doing great work for the animals. I have supported them since, we'll continue to support them. I encourage others to do the same. Update they're still great! I adopted another from them. They've been great through it all.”

“Really good to go and volunteer walking dogs on Saturday, especially after having to put mine down recently. Plus it's a big help for the people working there. Most of the dogs are super sweet they are just scared. a little bit freaked out which i can understand so I take my time with them and listen to the staff instructions. It's beneficial for all me, staff, and the dogs.”

“It's been one month since we adopted "Patches" and I'd like to say that she has been very loved ever since! Ever since the lady at the front gave me that story on her, I knew I had to be the one to give Patches the love and care she deserved! Absolutely amazing place, they care about the animals deeply”
