Nebraska Humane Society

It is unfortunate that there are so many negative reviews here. I can only say that we adopted a beautiful, loving cat here, and it was a perfectly fine experience doing so. The staff has also been quite helpful on the few occasions that I called them for help regarding strays, or the orphaned baby birds that seem to appear in my yard every year.The building itself is clean, well-kept, and I noticed that they now have an off-duty police officer on site as well.I will say that the building itself is laid out in a somewhat confusing fashion, and if you're not careful you might end up missing an entire wing full of adoptable pets.Finally, they are very badly understaffed.Overall, I'd go here again.

These have to be the stupidest people on earth. A cat the family loved was/is a few days from being ready for adoption but available to visit.We offered to adopt the cat, pay for the medical procedure, make a donation and were willing to forfeit all proceeds as a donation if something went wrong and were told "no, it's first come first serve."Ok, well here I am willing to donate and cover hundreds of dollars in medical expenses before the cat is even ready for adoption, no strings attached (and no, it's not some purebred).I'm literally trying to pay for a mixed breeds surgery, adoption and a donation and you want me to "check in daily to see availability!?"Are you so stupid, you can't get a cat adopted and take a donation??!Someone fire these idiots.

The customer service is hit or miss. While there were several volunteers and a couple staff that were kind and informative, I can't say that for all of the staff. Also, we were told conflicting information multiple times. Our overall experience wasn't great. I'd have to say that the facility needs to improve on tactics, techniques and procedures. The positive is that I've noticed they have a good social media manager to help get those animals a home.

Very large inside, and very clean. Well functioning for walking through, and has smaller and more peaceful rooms for more one on one interactions. Their website is usually fairly up to date, and your application will last for 30 days so you can apply for multiple animals if you do not get the one you want. Prices are usually fair, and they have continuous new animals coming in. Plan your visit, and check their hours before you go.

They said the cat I was adopting was declawed and perfectly healthy but for some bad teeth. He's not declawed (no big deal). NHS refuses to test for communicable disease in felines FIV/FeLV, probably because they don't want to foot the bill. Took him to the vet to get the teeth handled and get him tested-- he has a heart murmur and stomach cancer. Did anyone actually check this guy out? He has his claws and murmurs are pretty easy to notice if you listen. As for the cancer, the inability to eat without immediately vomiting should have set off some sort of alarm but I guess they didn't care to notice. Starting to doubt their vet on staff actually looks at the majority of animals.

Awesome place! I got my cat here recently and he's been such a good boy. Staff is friendly and process is easy.

One day I get a text message from my sister telling me how my nephew wants to rescue all of the cats and dogs, especially the black cats, from the Humane Society. My family has been fortunate to have this generous and loving heart towards animals for years so this didn't surprise me. BUT, when we talked about the details of me possibly adopting a cat I knew there would be a way to at least rescue one cat. My boyfriend and I went for a visit to the Humane Society and met with the cat I felt sure about bringing home. However, in talking with Cat staff and what he was previously exposed to before arriving at the Humane Society, I had to make a difficult decision to meet a different cat. I knew in my heart that I would need a cat that would be okay with other animals, more animals in the future would be a certainty. We were taken downstairs and the first cat that we met they called Cupid. She was a black cat with a white chest and paws, long fur and whiskers and the sweetest loving kitty. She came right to us ready for pets and cuddles. We learned that she was a stray and they told us she was about 3 years old based on her teeth. I didn't need to see any other cats after her. She was the one for me. I had always adored black cats with white paws and had an idea that I'd want a girl. I have a feeling she was always meant to be mine. The adoption process was pretty smooth and I was able to take her home with no issues. She's since gotten comfortable and loves cuddles and sitting on my lap. We fell in love with a few other cats and dogs that day, and hope they find homes too. I know at some point we will be back when we have a bigger space and will bring home another pet we will love just as much as the ones we love now.

I was told the wait was 45 minutes and that I was 2nd in line, 90 minutes later I asked and was informed they never added my name to the line- finally after 2.5 hours they call me and tell me if I don't pay them for an additional dog housing permit since I already own chihuahuas currently , they wont even let me even see the dog I waited three hours to meet & save. This place is run worse than any business I have ever seen and their staff deserves to be promoted to unemployed because they are absolutely worthless. These animals deserve better and so do the people trying to help them. Y'all are a disgrace.

This is the 2nd to be a service dog have got from NHS.I would like to know why you don't have a disconunt for disappel, and senior citizens.

A very caring place! The animals are cared for very well. A big Thank you for all you do.
