text: We adopted our new little addition a female puppy who was weeks old at the beginning of February At that time she had already been spayed I fully support spayingneutering but that is just too young in my book That was the first thing that bothered me about our experience with this particular Humane Society The fee for adopting our puppy was which I thought was a tad high but acceptablennShe was not well at all that first week so we took her to the vet where she was diagnosed with Giardia a nasty GIparasitic infection and an Upper Respiratory Infection She had to be on TWO antibiotics Consequently it took two courses of the antibiotic to completely wipe out the Giardia so that makes THREE antibiotics within weeks of adopting her from the Humane SocietynnNeedless to say we were very shocked and disappointed Frankly I expected better from the Humane Society To think that she had been suffering from both of those illnesses while in their care for who knows how long And no one there noticed or if they did they did not do anything about it We had been told she was perfectly healthy of course Upon taking her home we immediately noticed her runny nose and bowel issues nnWell she IS healthy and happy now thanks to us We would not trade her for anything but the initial experience could have been much better nnI admire the fact that they are a nokill shelter and that they will take animals in from other kill shelters but I feel that they could do MUCH better in their caring for the animals while they are awaiting homes nnI still support them and hope that they will change for the better nnNote the other reviews for the Humane Society of Charlotte are actually under the listing for their SpayNeuter clinic at Toomey Ave
