We bring 3 of our furbabies to Lovet and always had a positive experiences. We always do the first morning appointment and the woman that greets us is always kind. Typically Zachary sees our Bella and is very thorough and explains everything. Techs have all been amazing and show compassion with our pups. Yesterday we took Bella in for her annual check up and some vaccines. The doc we had wasn't one we had before but she literally spent less than 5 minutes with us. Didn't ask us any questions. Just was quick, administered the vaccines and took off and her tech took over the rest. $80 for what? It's not like she was super busy,overbooked or behind. Appointments are what? 30 mins? I even made a comment to the tech how crazy quick that was and she replied saying well we don't want to keep you here all day. I get that and appreciate that. But 5 mins? Just the lack of any sense the doc cared is what bothered me the most. We live in a 15 mile radius of 8 Lovet locations so I guess we will try another location next time. Suggestion for the App developers: Please add the dogs vaccine history and transaction history on our profiles. It will help allow us that have to budget to plan our expenses better.

LAck of experience from Vet led to a grossly missed diagnosis and subsequent unnecessary testing to…read moresearch for other possible illness. My dog ending up being euthanized with a severe illness that we could have better prepared for and not put her through unnecessary testing and stress and euthanized in the comfort of our home rather than at the clinic. Vet was seen multiple times relating to this illness and it wasnt until we saw Dr Chen who perfomed a simple xray to find a giant cancer missed on ultrasound exam twice. This clinic should not charge for services they can not perform or diagnose. This is the second time this clinic has mis-diagnosed one of my pets when they were having life threatening issues. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

My wife and I had wanted a dog for a long time and we were finally in the right place in our lives…read moreto get one. We had seen the ALGBR website and were enamored with a few of the dogs they had listed. They also list "events" on their website at a few Petsmart locations on different weekends of the month. Since we were looking on the 3rd Saturday, we went to the Petsmart on McKellips and Power to hopefully meet some of the dogs. We drove from central Phoenix all the way out to Mesa. . .but apparently they don't bring any of their rescues to these "events". They did have a handy binder containing printouts of all of the listings we had seen online. Ok. . . Since we were there, we filled out an application and gave it to one of the volunteers, along with the $15 app fee, and a copy of our current lease showing that dogs are allowed and we've paid all associated pet fees, and the volunteers assured us we'd be contacted in 24-48 hours. By the way, the adoption application is way more intense than any college admissions application I've ever filled out. "If your new Rescue needed an emergency operation, which might cost you $1,000 to $1,500 would you do it, if your Veterinarian said it was necessary? " Does anyone ever write in "It depends on how much it costs to euthanize. . ."??? Seriously. Anyway, 48 hours later and no call, I decided to give a call to the # listed on the website, and got a messaging system on which I left my information. I got a call back a few hours later, and the nice woman told me that if I gave my application to a volunteer, they were probably just going to mail it in for us, so just fill out another application online and email it to them. Great - the trip out to Mesa was officially a complete and utter waste of time. 24- 48 hours after emailing the electronic application and still no phone call. So I called them up again and the same woman answered, thanked me for the application, told me that they did eventually get the one I filled out by hand, and that someone would be contacting me shortly to set up a home visit. So the wife and I decided instead to go to the AZ Humane Society Campus for Compassion where we got a lovely puppy that we adore, totally hassle free. 2 stars to ALGBR only because they are doing a wonderful and noble charity by rescuing dogs. But it's obvious that these volunteers are not interested in giving up their "adoptable" dogs and would rather be lifetime fosters to their rescues. UPDATE - it's 2.5 years later and ALGBR still hasn't called me about my application ;-) Wish I could get that $15 back.

We got our sweet, loving, amazing yellow Lab, Max, from AZ Lab & Giant Breed Rescue nearly 2 years…read moreago. We were very satisfied and pleased with the professional nature and compassion of the organization. They basically rescue Labrador Retrievers and other large dogs from owners around the state who no longer can keep them (for various reasons). The rescue org. takes the dogs in and puts them in loving foster homes until the dogs can be adopted. The process was amazingly straight forward to adopt a dog. You look at the bios of adoptable dogs on their website, download an application on-line, schedule a home-interview with one of their reps. They then come to the house at your convenience and look at the application...they check to check to make sure you're not a crazy person and will actually care for the dog. :) The next step is finding a dog that you love from the website. They have puppies all the way to older adult dogs. Also, the organization knows many of the dogs histories, since many of them aren't strays. So, you know from their bios what the dogs temperament is right off the bat. When you find a dog you like from the website, the foster parent drives the dog to your house. You then see how well the dog gets along with your other dogs or kids, if you have them and if you want the dog, you fill out a little paperwork, pay the adoption fee and have a wonderful new addition to your home. If you find the dog doesn't fit your needs, more foster dogs will come to your house until you find one that fits. We are so pleased with our dog and can't imagine life without him!!

They are not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also genuinely kind and compassionate. Our fur babies all have ongoing medical issues, so finding a veterinary team we fully trust has been so important. The level of care, patience, and attention they receive here is outstanding. The vets always take the time to explain things clearly, answer questions, and make sure both pets and owners feel supported. It's comforting to know our pets are in such capable and caring hands. We are beyond grateful for everything this practice has done for our family over the years and highly recommend them to anyone looking for compassionate, high-quality veterinary care.

I had such a wonderful experience attending the adoption event today, July 18th. It was…read moreincredibly well organized, and there were so many adorable puppies looking for loving foster and forever homes. You could tell how much thought and care went into making the event a success. I had the pleasure of meeting the Founder and Director, Kathy Hamel, and we had such a wonderful conversation. Her passion and dedication to helping these animals was truly inspiring. I also had the opportunity to meet several of the volunteers, and every single person was welcoming, kind, and clearly committed to the organization's mission. It was heartwarming to see so many people coming together to give these dogs a second chance. I left feeling inspired and excited, and I can't wait to work alongside this amazing team in the future. Today's adoption event was busy, with many dogs and potential adopters in attendance. What I witnessed was many volunteers working hard to ensure every animal was handled safely and compassionately, (and some volunteers were holding them in their arms walking thru the crowd so potential adopters could interact with them). Dogs can occasionally become overstimulated in unfamiliar environments and as the dogs were playing in their playpen and getting a little rowdy, the volunteers intervened immediately to ensure that they were all safe. This should never be interpreted as a lack of care. Please let us remember that these are people who VOLUNTEER their time to rescue and save these fur babies. I am attaching pictures that were taken at the actual event today and I have permission to post them in this review. Thank you Arizona Shihtzu and Small Dog Rescue for everything you do for these deserving animals.
