Humane Rescue Alliance — District of Columbia Animal Care and Control

"I saw a review left by someone mentioning how the people working at this place (HUMANE RESCUE ALLIANCE) showed their devilish horns regarding the rescue of a cat. I too brought a cat in here years ago and they were really AWFUL to me! They tried to argue with me that it was a feral cat...SHE WAS NOT. I gave them the story of why she was outside (her owner dumped her like the atrocious beast he was) and she was scared out of her mind EVERY DAY! I had to literally use all the knowledge I knew about animal rescue, strays, ferals and so forth just so that they would see that she was a sweet girl. There is a CAT that I am currently rescuing (another stray) and i wanted to read the reviews because I thought that, maybe, I was over thinking and being sensitive the last time I brought a cat here, maybe I should give them another try... NOPE! I. Was. Not! That review proved what I felt while interacting with that staff was spot on. Phonys and Frauds..... You all are cruel and you are only Lovers of Dogs not all, and that is absolutely despicable. You have non deserving titles and work for your own selfish needs. You do it for Instagram and "awwwws how cute!" Comments/likes, and bragging rights. The people that I met here were all very mean girlish and brutal, this facility needs to be reevaluated or renamed because they are one sided and biased about which animal they choose to "rescue" how awful of you."

"This is a nice shelter, and they always have good things. The only thing that throws me off is the fact that when they give out free food, they always serve the cars first… and I understand first come first serve but if it’s not freezing outside….The logical thing would be to get the people who walk up out of the way….."

"The Humane Rescue Alliance helped us find our dog when he got lost in DC. They are the absolute best, kindest, and most helpful people. Sarah Hernandez, in particular, found our dog at 1030pm and was able to rescue him and bring him to us. We couldn't be more thankful for their program and assistance."

"Dude is my first dog, and I am happy that I adopted him from the humane animal Society. The two of us click immediately, and we both love and care about each other. The people at the humane animal Society are just incredible when it comes down to adopting pets of all types. They are highly informational about all of the animals that they have and which ones are perfect for each family. So if you’re looking for a new family member, then I highly recommend going to the humane animal Society."

"This location serves as a shelter and animal control too, I believe. The facility is small, the staff quite dedicated. It's a tough job and they are doing everything they can to help these animals. Shelter life is hard on the animals. They are scared in this loud environment. Every dog we saw took treats very gently. These are just a few of them. Sad to see so many Pitties!"
