a trashy place with trashy people this place is a joke, my neighbor found a stray cat outside during 30 degree and below temperatures but she could not take it in because of her dogs, so i took it in and tried to drop it off at this "shelter" the next morning. they wanted my license which i did not want to give because i have dealt with this place before and know they try to charge you for everything and anything, so i simply let it out outside i had no other option, i could not care for the cat any more than i already had..... read more

INHUMANE DO NOT surrender an animal here as 9/10 chance they will euthanize. However, if you do want to adopt, please DO adopt here to get these poor animals out of this hell hole. A friend of mine found kittens in a dumpster and called them asking for help, they told him to call PEST CONTROL!

I am sad to know I think the reason why animals are killed so quickly is because they don't want to spend money to keep feeding animals. Killing is much cheaper than keep feeding animals until somebody come and take home. It's all about money isn't it? It is so sad for animals who end up in this shelter.

happy A wonderful place to adopt. Everyone helpful. If adopting a dog. they make sure the dog will have a safe fenced in area at your home They do a yard check. If you have other dogs ,you bring them in for a meet & greet .If you own cats you can request a walk through the caged cat area to make sure your adopted dog is compatible.. After all, its about the animals.

Women's Humane Society is not my favorite shelter They will immediately euthanize any dog that looks like a pit bull or sharpei, or a mix of either of those breeds, regardless of temperament, even if they have plenty of available cages. They also will not adopt out a FIV+ cat, even if the adopter wants to take on that responsibility. Only the youngest, most adoptable dogs have a chance here.

The worse place to take an animal..... The worse place ever to take a animal there. I had taken in a cat from the streets cause she was about to have kittens. When we first brought her in she was a little mean with the other cats (there are 4 other cats in the house as well) but she never did anything to hurt them but she loved people she just wants to be the only cat in the house cause she was outside for so long that's whats she use too. She had given birth to 6 kittens 5 boys and one girl. We had kept her in one room the ... read more

Women's Humane Society is NOT HUMANE I found a lost friendly kitten cat. He was very lovable and friendly. I had a cat already and knew my cat wouldnt go for another cat in the house. I wanted so bad to keep him but I thought the Philly SPCA would just put him down without a chance to find a good home. I felt I did the right thing by taking kitten ( looked about 9 month to yr old) to the Woman's Humane Society b/c its nice and clean and I got my current pet there 7 yrs ago. MAN WAS I WRONG. I checked up to see if the kitten ... read more

This shelter is excellent! I worked for 3 years in a small animal shelter in Philadelphia, and remember when the Women's Humane moved to Bensalem.

Euthanizing Your Pet The man at the desk was kind. The older, skinny, gray-haired man who came out to take my dog to the vet was not friendly at all. He actually was quite scary looking in rubber boots up to his thighs. I was in tears and told him my dog was a good dog in hopes he would be gentle when he put him on his leash and walked away from me. I couldn't bare to watch being he did not seem sensitive at all. I was not allowed in the room which broke my heart. I can understand why the vet might not want you in the room. ... read more
