Where is the humane society
A Look Inside the Animal Humane Society
happy going out the door with his new
name bogey congratulations it's a great
day for bogey he's going to his new home
in Northfield with Sonia I met him he
was adorable I felt out some paperwork
and now he's mine but let's back up a
bit
her day actually started at 7:00 in the
morning this morning we decided to get
him my fiancee and I did literally at 7
o'clock this morning and then drove up
here got here 11:15 waited outside and
that's a typical day at the animal
Humane Society in Golden Valley they
open weekdays at noon and usually
there's a line outside for would-be pet
owners waiting to find their new furry
family member from there the process is
fairly simple we have a great customer
service staff they'll walk around they
have their iPads where they can bring up
different information the whole history
of the pet that we have at least and
inform the potential adopters just what
we know about that animal as Zach Nugent
explains you may be surprised
adoption is just one of many services
they offer children will come in for
storytime once a month and we have
summer camps and camps during the school
year when schools on break really
looking to educate younger generations
get them interested in animals in animal
welfare they also have on an off-site
training in addition to pet supplies and
even a helpline one of our big things is
a pet helpline that is staffed and we
will answer questions that anyone has
about a pet whether it is you know I
have a training question or we're having
an issue with behavior or you know we're
getting a divorce what do we do with the
animal and we take in about 30,000 calls
each year so back to bogie once he walks
out that door it doesn't mean goodbye to
the animal Humane Society they'll
continue to be a resource in whatever
way they can
you
