"The Humane Society of Naples is the best shelter. The staff really care about the animals and their we'll being. So many animals have been saved thanks to the many programs they have! The volunteers are very thoughtful and professionally trained to help the staff members and with the animals. I have learned a lot since I started to volunteer 3 years ago!"

"I have visited the shelter numerous time and always had been impressed with the level of care and facilities that this orphan animals can call “home” beautiful place, clean, organized, staff and volunteers do an amazing job, they also hold food bank for people in need to feed their pets… I personally take my dog to the HSN clinic which benefits the shelter and the care and quality of services always exceeds my expectations! Simply love this place and think that the animals who end up waiting for a forever home in HSN are very much loved and cared and could not be in better hands while they wait!"

"My husband and I adopted our Sparky 10 years ago this September. The facility was excellent to us and Sparky. We appreciate all the love and care they pour onto the animals."

"I am a Volunteer at the Humane Society of Naples Florida, in the Feline area, but I watch the Canine animal care workers and the Canine volunteers and it amazes me. They are so well trained, so caring, so diligent. I have learned so much that I did not know. The time they spend with adopters before they let a dog go with them. The extra help and training services they offer are too numerous to even list. They always question what type of household, other pets, kids, time at home. Just everything is covered to know the adopters have the best fit for them. And there is a lot of follow up if needed. They want to be assured when that dog goes it is truly to it's forever home. They are wonderful."

"Words cannot express the depth of our gratitude to Humane Society Naples.** On December 1st, the only animal rescue and shelter on the island nation of Dominica was forced to close due to ongoing attacks on our animals and staff. Every single animal at our shelter was a rescue that had survived unimaginable abuse, injury, and suffering. For most, it was a miracle that they even survived their injuries and abuse. Thanks to @hsnaples, a group of several shelters came together to evacuate our animals to safety, while ensuring no local animals were affected by the 150 animals rescued and divided between the various organizations.** This is a real-life example of an organization and its heroes coming together to save the most forgotten and helpless animals in the world. You didn't just open your doors in our darkest hour; you showered our scared, displaced animals with love and care, mending not just broken bones but broken hearts.** Thank you for turning fear into purrs, whimpers into wags. You're making miracles happen, one furry friend at a time. **Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.**"

"HSN is one of a kind. Dedicated volunteers, experienced staff, and professional vets make up this amazing organization."

— melissa k.

Volunteer / foster

"After having lost our fur-kid of 16 years, we did not think we wanted to adopt again, so we decided to foster with Humane Society Naples. Admittedly, our first foster was a "hot mess" and we weren't sure we were up for trying it again, but after we returned from a vacation, we called the foster coordinator to say we were willing to foster, but needed some additional guidelines for what we could take. Megan suggested that we come into the shelter for a "meet & greet" with a couple foster options, we decided on one & brought him home. Within a week, we were smitten with him & made the choice to be "foster fails" and adopt him. He's been amazing with our grandkids, other dogs in the neighborhood and people in general. In fact, two different neighbors are clamoring to watch him when we vacation this year. Since we are no longer fosters, I am still volunteering in the lobby at the Vox Arx location of Naples Humane Society."

My Dog Is Food Aggressive With Other Dogs: What To Do
Does your dog ever growl when you walk by their food dish? Maybe they get possessive of treats, carrying them far away and giving you side-eye when you start to approach — or snarling at your other pets or children if they get too close.
Scent Training for Dogs: A Beginner's Guide
As almost every dog owner is aware, the nose of a dog is an amazing thing. Just as they can pick up sounds we can’t hear, their sense of smell and ability to pick up scents is well beyond ours. In fact, dogs have 40 times the number of olfactory receptors as humans.
Service Dog Training Costs: DIY vs. Pro
More than 80 million Americans rely on their service dogs to help them navigate the world. Task-trained assistance animals perform a huge range of life-changing—in many cases, life-saving—services: These dogs act as eyes for visually impaired handlers, provide mobility support, alert to seizures and blood sugar crashes, interrupt anxiety attacks, remind their people to take medications, and so much more.
What is and How to Handle Potty Training Regression
You thought your dog was house trained. Your home was clean from puddles of pee, those dreaded middle-of-the-night bathroom breaks were behind you, and you loved every minute of dog ownership… until your four-legged best friend started using the bathroom inside again. What’s going on?
Coprophagia: Why Does Your Dog Eat Poop?
Ah, poop. We humans think it’s disgusting… but many of our dogs seem to love the stuff. If you’re wondering why your canine companion tries to eat feces (either their own or that of other animals) you’re not alone!

Daily Exercise Calculator: How Much Exercise Does Your Dog Need?

Dog reactivity guides

Rottweiler Aggression: Truth vs. Myth
Many dogs have gotten a bad reputation over the years for being "dangerous breeds." Rottweilers are among them. Like pit bulls and other large, blocky-headed types of dogs, these powerful and beautiful animals are often assumed to be aggressive.
What Is a Reactive Dog? A Guide to Understanding Reactivity
So: Your dog is reactive. They’ll see another dog, person, or other stimulus in the environment (cars, bikes, skateboards, and other fast-moving objects are also common triggers) while out on a walk and suddenly go crazy at the end of their leash. The barking, lunging, and growling not only feels embarrassing for you — it’s clear that your pup isn’t having a great time either.
How to Socialize a Reactive Dog: A Step-by-Step Guide
Does your dog display reactivity to other pets or people? Maybe they’re a new rescue pup and are still settling into your home. Or they were sick growing up, so you missed their critical socialization period. Possibly they’ve had a bad experience after being raised as a normal puppy.
