I came with a friend who was looking to adopt a dog. Though we didn't add to the family that day, it was a great experience to see all the kind and caring volunteers and animals that hopefully find a good home. There are cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and dogs of all ages and sizes, that look well cared for. The dog area is the largest by far, with an individual fenced-off area for each dog and an exercise/training classes area out back.
We brought our dog Mickey there 3 years ago to be cremated. They called us back in a timely matter for him to be picked up and brought home. He was in a nice wood box with his name engraved on it.
Just like what Joe M. said, the Marin Humane Society was a great place and the staff was compassionate and understanding. We were able to see our second dog after the procedure, but it made it that much harder to let go.

I needed to find a caring and compassionate place to put my baby Jasmine to sleep and from the time I made the first call to the Marin Humane Society, I knew they would be a good place to have the procedure done.
They offer a little side room off the main lobby as a private area to say our last goodbyes to her before they brought her to the operating room in back. I was so sad that they didn't allow the family to be there during the procedure but can understand as well. Alternatively, other services did offer that option but the cost was at least 8x more and didn't seem half as compassionate so the difficult decision was made to forego it.
It's been a heartwrenching day for my family as we laid Jasmine to rest today. I wish the side waiting room was a little more quiet and private but under the circumstances, served us well. The adoption area was actually a welcome distraction and we actually considered adopting a new puppy on the spot but it was a little too soon for us. The Humane Society was the best possible combination of compassion and cost-effectiveness for my family and, while it doesn't make it hurt any less, I know they were gentle and will be as they take her to be cremated and ultimately bring her back home to us.
