When checking the trustworthiness of an animal shelter, there are several steps you can take. Read online reviews to get a sense of what people are saying about their experiences. Check with the local humane society or Better Business Bureau for any reports or complaints filed against the shelter. Look at their website and social media presence to see what types of services and programs they provide for animals. Ask them specific questions around veterinary care, euthanasia policies, adoption procedures and volunteer or foster care opportunities. Finally, make sure that any information they give you is verified as truthful by a third party source.

To find out if an animal shelter is trustworthy and responsible, you can visit the Animal Shelter Alliance of North America’s website and type in the shelter’s name to see if it is a member. If it isn't, ask about their programs for animals and adoption policies. Also try doing a internet search for reviews from past adopters or veterinarians who may have worked with them in the past to find out more information.
