I visited PAWS for the first time at an open house. I didn't know a place like this existed in the…read moreUS. The animals were well cared for, had a lot of space to roam. I was educated by the staff, and left with more knowledge. I wish sanctuaries didn't have to exist. I wish that animals could live in the wild. This was as close I've seen to the wild - given these animals are in captivity. The elephants look healthy and strong. Finally a place that allows the animal to live the rest of their life as an animal, not a circus prop.

It took this sanctuary three years to kill off the three elephants they received from Canada. TB…read moreruns rapidly in this scammuary too. During the fires three years ago, In true AR fashion, the animals were left to burn to death as the disgusting owners did nothing to evacuate them. Just another disgusting scammuary that doesn't bother to give their animals proper medical care, and seeps up money from idiots for their animal rights agenda. This is truly sad anyone could support a disgrace of a sanctuary. I wonder if it would be okay for a pet owner to allow their pets to burn to death if there was danger of fire. My pets are savannahs and hybrid mixes. I have no doubt that if I let my cats toy burn to death, AR groups would have judged and condemned me. There was a fire a mile from my home, and I got enough cardboard boxes to transport my pets. Yet, when a fire was a mile away from this scammuary the AR leadership would have left those animals to burn to death. I hope this facility shuts down or is taken over by people that actually value animals over their stupid AR agenda. The small zoo near my house had all the animals evacuated in 30 minutes when the same fire I prepared for was a mile close. Yet, AR scammuary didn't care enough about their animals to do the same. I hope the people from the Toronto Zoo gave those idiots a piece of their mind for killing their elephants. There are elephants that are working animals that live longer! You are all sick and disgusting! AR has nothing to do with the welfare and well being of an animal, it is about destroying the human and animal bond.

I tested for a Probation officer position. 3 months later I was contacted to come and speak with…read morethe Chief and his assistant. I took the time to travel more than an hour to San Andreas and took a mini tour of the office and surrounding areas. Shortly afterwards I was put into the background process with a private investigator named Stephen Clifford who ran his own investigative firm. I turned in a bunch of documents as requested. About a month later I received a letter from Calaveras HR stating I was no longer being considered. Mr. Clifford did not even conduct any kind of background investigation. He contacted a few references and that was it. I never even fingerprinted for their department yet a complete background was completed. What a shady investigative firm, I believe the Chief hired his personal friend to do the investigative work. Very unprofessional and totally wasted my time. I would not recommend anyone to apply for work in Calaveras county.

Jennifer took our socially awkward and anxious English Springer from rambunctious and out of control behavior to a well mannered dog. We're a happier family now that there's control established.

He'll come back instantly when off leash and even stop a squirrel chase on my command! Jennifer also offers sessions after her focused training period to keep the tools fresh for you and the dog. We would have been struggling on our own for sure with this guy. Thanks, Jennifer!!

For those who are seeking reactive dog training:…read more My name is Rachel and my partner Alan and I are the proud dog parents of our sweet 6 year old German Shepard, Darlin'. Although Darlin' is a sweet and gentle soul towards other people, since she was young she's struggled with moments of reactivity towards other dogs. However since we started our training with Maddie, we've seen major improvement with these interactions. And it's the tools and guidance Maddie has given us that has helped us reach this important milestone. We live in a city, in an apartment building that has many dogs (that aren't well trained), so run-in's are a constant occurrence. Maddie has been wonderful with helping us address these very specific scenarios. Particularly in situations where run-ins may happen in close quarters(such as elevators). We're also always reassured knowing Darlin is in Maddie's care when we go on extended trips. She not only comes back with sharper training each time, but I know she's had the time of her life from all the photos and updates I receive while we're gone. That stuff really matters. She genuinely cares about helping the relationships between dogs and their owners and that shows through her compassion and patience she has with Darlin. We're so sad to be leaving California because gems like Maddie are hard to find. You won't regret working with her!
