Dubuque Regional Humane Society 4242 Chavenelle Road, Dubuque, IA 52002

"Such an inviting place. Wonderful and obviously compassionate and passionate staff when it comes to the animals left in their care. I wish people were more responsible when it comes to animals, but as they are not, Dubuque Humane is a clean, welcoming, and comfortable place for our canine and feline friends to go and wait for their forever homes. ❤️"

"My hubby adopted a cat in August (secretly; I found out after I got an email that said “here are your adoption papers” lol). Well, I get home and this cat has her third eye showing and scabs in her ears. (They told him she was fine and the scabs were from playing with the other cats). Took her to the vet 2 weeks later and she was diagnosed with RINGWORM and an eye infection!! we have 4 other cats well $900 and 6 weeks later, after separating our healthy cats (2) and our ringworm cats (3), disinfecting and deep cleaning the house 4 times we got rid of it. Called the humane society and they told us our cats at home must have given the new cat ringworm and we can’t prove we got it from there. Guess what y’all, our cat must have been GROUND ZERO!! Because pet-smart, (who sells cats for the humane society) told us they had a ringworm outbreak. If they could have just apologized and offered to test our cats for free, this review would have gone entirely different. I support the humane society and what they do for animals, but accountability is a desirable trait. Photos are before and after the ringworm and eye infection treatment. (Like… it is clear the cat was sick when they sold her to us)."

"5 stars for everything they do for the animals but very disappointed in customer service. My daughter did a fundraiser to raise money for animals and wanted to donate to the humane society. I stopped by to grab what we needed for flyers and promoting etc and they said they could not help us out. They didn’t even seem to care that a child was excited to raise money to help animals. We ended up going with the Jackson County Humane Society. We walked in and they were extremely thankful she wanted to help. They gave her a tour to see the animals and even let her interact with them. They gave us a huge sighn to use and jars to collect the money. I really am disappointed on how the Dubuque regional humane society shot my daughter’s excitement down."

"Got my baby Bella there! It was during a special event and discounted adoption fees for Everyone. They really dug deep for that discount $25 out the door! Funny story quick… they got her all ready to go home with me, I was alone picking her up. It was in the winter and dark outside. When we went out, I let her go potty and then attempted to get her in the car, somehow she came out of her leash and started running towards the fenced in outdoor area I believe, but that’s also in the same direction as the very very busy arterial road that they are on the corner of. I was trying to chase her, but she wanted back inside with all her little puppy friends. She wanted no part of this… wouldn’t stop and they must’ve heard me hollering inside the building as I was trying to catch her about six staff members who were able to catch her. otherwise I don’t think there was any way I was going to get her into my vehicle as shy and scared as she was. We’ve had her now aboutthree years I think and she is amazing. They also offer other services."

"We've gotten several pets here. They are friendly and helpful. It feels good helping an animal too. We have two rotten cats right now and we love them. The facility is nice and the animals are easy to visit. Everyone should check them out and leave a buck in the bucket!"
