Behavioral Counseling
Most adoptable animals come to the Humane Society because of behavior
problems, many of which can be alleviated with proper education
of the care givers and re-training of the animals.
Here at the Humane Society of Kent County
we offer behavioral counseling to help you with your specific
areas of concern.
If you would like to set up an
apportionment for behavioral counseling please fill out our
Canine Behavior Consultation Questionnaire and send
it in to the address, email or fax below. Once received our
Behavior Specialist will contact you to schedule an appointment.
If you have questions or concerns feel
free to contact our Behavior Specialist at
(616) 791-8227 or
namiko@hskc.org.
