Unfortunately we also had a horrible experience with the HHS. We went in to adopt a cat that had been there for almost a year, was 2 yrs old, so not the most likely to be adopted. Well, just like some of the other reviews, there was never anything about needing to contact our vet to confirm our pet had current shots. Well, our cat does have its current rabies, but not all the other battery of vaccines. She does not go outside, is not around other animals, and HHS would not let us adopt because we didn't have a full battery of shots, that are not required by law. It is extremely sad that they would rather tell people they MUST have vaccines that are not required by law rather than let a poor animal have a good home - they would rather keep the animal cooped up in their little rooms. Sad beyond belief. No wonder there are so many animals at the HHS, they won't let anyone adopt them.
