Over many years we have adopted our 4 kittys and could not be happier! The staff is so caring and everyone goes above and beyond to provide care for it's furry residents. What a hard working group of individuals!

Very caring and friendly staff. It’s obvious how much the shelter staff care about the animals.

My sister’s cat recently got out in Saranac Lake and was found a few doors down from her house. My sister’s cat suffers from alopecia, or hair loss. She has taken her cat in for this problem in the past, and it was non-responsive to treatment. When my sister called her to claim her cat, after seeing it posted on social media, with proof of ownership and vet records the staff at Tri- Lakes humane Society began to accuse her of neglect for her cat having this condition. Even with papers saying she was seen for the condition. They bold face looked her in the face and compared her cat with the hair loss disorder to a human child being neglected and talked down to my sister very rudely. They held my sisters cat longer than necessary until they could take it into the vet to “confirm it wasn’t neglect.” my sister had to wait until the next day to retrieve her cat after Rue could be cleared at the vet. If anything being away from my sister, and in a strange location, scared and with strangers, even though the people who captured you were told, it was behavioral and only unsightly and the cat was seen for it, would cause her to chew upon herself more. I can see where their intent was, but to straight up tell someone that they know she neglects her cat, despite having that paperwork, proving the cat was treated for the condition. SHAME ON YOU. Very tone-deaf, rude, and arrogant staff. To accuse one of the best pet parents I know of neglect with NO REASON TO DO SO.

Amazing humane society. I adopted my beautiful dog Dorothy from here, she is the sweetest girl. When I adopted Dorothy, she came spayed, and up to date on shots. Staff was helpful and kind. I would adopt from them again.

I recently adopted poppyseed from there. The staff was so nice. Cute little kitties running all around. I settled on poppyseed cuz she was affectionate and loveable. I wouldn't trade my little miss for anything in the world. She loves to wake me up between 2 and 3am to get petted lol. Other than that, she's a wonderful cat! She found her FURever home❤️❤️

Great, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Best of all, it's a no-kill shelter for all but the most extreme cases!One experience I can share to illustrate their level of care is this: one night at around 2:00 am I came across an elderly, blind dog just wandering around Lake Flower Ave by the ice cream stand. I called the Saranac Lake PD and within 20 minutes a wonderful young lady came and took care of the poor defenseless thing. While I was waiting, I just held her in my arms (not the young lady, the dog). That poor little poodle mix was so scared she was shaking uncontrollably. I felt terrible for her, but once I spoke with the shelter lady, I had no doubt that she was going into caring arms.Thank you so much again for that experience and for all the love you give to the quadrupeds in your charge!

We were able to adopt our little kitten December of 2015 and we are still so happy and grateful to have her in our lives. She was in the garbage pail kitten litter and she has adjusted greatly. We can't wait to take her in for a visit soon.

Before I became a regular volunteer at the shelter, the staff at the Tri-Lakes Humane Society were always answering any questions I had, the staff is equally attentive to the animals as they are to their potential adopters. Within seconds you can see the compassion. I love volunteering my time here.

How couldn't I give this place 5 stars when this is the place I got my dog Kamylle from? We've had her for over 4 years now and we love her to death. Her original name was Tesla, but we changed it to Kamylle because she responded to that one the most. I'm so glad I convinced my mother to get a dog. :0)

We are very grateful we found our dog Moon at the Tri Lakes Humane Society Moon, a big Saint Bernard mix female rescued. She had been in several homes. She was estimated to be 5-6 years old and she lived another 5 years with us. The staff at TLHS was very caring. She was lovable, unbelievably loyal and had a beautiful coat of thick orange, white, and black fur. We figure her fur is now everywhere in the world except the north pole and Antarctica but we can't count that out. We are so sad at her passing. Thank you everyone at TLHS and everyone who has supported the TLHS. It is a great place to give something back by volunteering or donating.

Everyone here was so nice as I took a bit to make up my mind but we settled on two beautiful kitties and they made the process so easy. ❤️

Employees are helpful and kind. They care a great deal about the animals. Adopted 2 of my dogs and 2 of my cats from here. They don’t hesitate to provide animals with vet care.
