My husband and I recently become foster "parents" for the Great Dane Rescue Alliance. Our first…read moregreat dane came in the form of a 10 month old puppy - weighing 126lbs! He had a rough past, but came to us healthy and needing to be neutered before he was available for adoption. The Rescue Alliance uses Healing Hearts Mobile Vet Unit, which services animals from rescue groups and in low income areas. After calling several times I was able to take our great dane to their Mobile Vet Unit when they were in the East Valley to get neutered. I brought him in around 9:00am to a staff of 4 friendly women! They made me feel at ease. I got a call several hours later, letting me know he was ready to be picked up at noon. They helped me load him up and gave me plenty of instruction on his post surgical care. I really appreciate people that are able to help animals in need - so 5 stars for Healing Hearts!

This is the first time…read moreI had visited this location and similar to other outstanding locations in the valley, this location is very well organized, clean, and well lit. I mostly focus on men's clothing, including suits, shirts, ties, and belts, and this was a excellent location for those items. This Location had an abundance of really nice suits by some really top line brands. I'm talking about finding not one but two brand new 100% cashmere suits. They also had a top notch selection of sports coats including a seersucker that I was really torn about not taking with me. I've been looking for a full seersucker suit for a while and just haven't found it yet. They have the full array of both men's and women's clothing, housewares, sporting goods, kitchen wars, etc.. They also had some furniture items, including a couple of love seats and couches. This location also had more bikes and sporting equipment then I am used to seeing. I also did some shopping for my Lady and she joined me vía FaceTime. She found the shoe section to be really lacking. But again I think their inventory was pretty depleted from the 50% off sale. Also, I noticed that this location separates women's suits into blazers and pants vs other locations in the city group women's suits together where there are full sets available. This made it near impossible for me to shop for my significant other, but the women's clothing section is 2X, the men's clothing section. So ladies definitely will enjoy this one. Also, shout out to the management at this location, especially the Homie Rick. He helped me out by correcting a suit price that was initially priced as two separate pieces. I have had this happened to me quite a bit and I'm not complaining because I understand how hard it probably used to sort it through donated clothing and matchup suit pants with suit jackets but it is definitely appreciated when management goes the extra mile after I have already spent good time sorting through the pants to find the matching jacket!

This is a no brainer - great food, great cause, great people making a difference in the lives of the vulnerable in Phoenix. Can't wait to come back for more!

Update # 2: I managed to attend the parade and one of the Scouts gave me the parade program booklet…read more@ the parade before the march, and I let Paula know about this on my e-mail reply to her, which she was happy about.

Sorry I have to mention that when I contacted her about not receiving a paper receipt (that I requested during checkout- even my stating if possible, it's still unprofessional not to communicate), she ignored it until I had to remind her to reply with an update, and she stated she was not going to do that. I also had to remind her to ship me the parade booklet, which she ignored also and fessed that she's the only one handler of this organization and stated that the parade scouts will pass them out or to send her a SASE to ship me a leftover. I mentioned that she could have told me this earlier. I stated that I'm the only one too, and I'm contacting my card issuer to obtain a receipt. I concluded that I would not attend her parade. I knocked down a star. Sorry! I attended their Happy Hour event at the Orange Tree Golf Resort in Scottsdale on Nov 1 to watch this year's chosen Grand Marshal, 1980s supermodel Kim Alexis, speak about her career as well as to lend support to recognize our nation's local veterans. She lives in Scottsdale with her husband and was contacted by this organization due her stance as a local role model and positive outlook. She also did a photo op + signing afterwards. I brought my Glamour magazine (January 1983 issue ;) ) for her to sign! The organization did a good job with the setup and appetizers and showed up on time. And, they were were polite and professional with Kim. It was a fun-filled evening and I hope to watch the parade in uptown Phoenix on the 11th!i
