After almost 18 years my large golden retriever had a stroke in the middle of the night that incapacitated him. Other vets couldn't fit him in. The Human Society staff was extremely kind, understanding and fit him in that morning. They have a wonderful little chapel with a stain glass window. They covered a table with blankets (not the cold stainless steel of a vet's office.) Colored light streamed through the window onto Sherman as they explained what would happen and encouraged us to take all the time we needed. The procedure was quick. They were there to answer questions, comfort us and left us for a time to mourn, checking in now and again to ensure we were ok. The whole experience, although very sad, was a wonderful way to peacefully say goodbye to our best friend. Much better than the hurried vet's office with cold lighting, stainless steel and another patient lined up to immediately take the room. Five stars and many thanks for the love they showed in this difficult time. The price was very reasonable as well.
