We adopted Sully (formerly called Pez) from them on November 10th and had an amazing experience. I…read moreapplied in October before Sully was even available and heard back from them when it was time to meet him. I have a boxer with extreme anxiety when at vets or shelters and she barked nonstop while visiting Sully and they were so patient. They may have been annoyed (I was beyond exhausted with her barking) but they didn't show it. Sully has been an incredible addition and the whole process was extremely smooth. I would not hesitate to recommend them. I've seen complaints about it taking long to hear from them but people can always call and follow up. It helps to remember they are all volunteers caring for a high volume of adoptable pets and sick/ injured pets.

Let me say the value of the labs was significantly cheaper and the appointments were not too far out. Was able to come in for the service we needed for a fraction of the cost. Everyone was super friendly; and took amazing care of our sweet boy. His labs came out great,

After the exam, I was told straight up that my dog didn't need dental cleaning, so I could not book the service. I decided to purchase heartworm preventatives using their online pharmacy, but after EIGHT attempts in a month to get the medication, the order was rejected EVERY SINGLE TIME by their veterinarian. Each time the reason was that there was a prescription on file already so they could not approve an order request, but there WAS no prescription on file to begin with. All I can assume is that Pawproject wants my dog to get heartworm infection and die. I hate Pawproject and will report them to the Georgia Board of Veterinary Medicine. Don't go there.

Be warned, they are sending your donations to an Ecommerce site so they don't help locals in your…read morecommunity now. This place used to be good but they no longer sell the good stuff in their stores. The good stuff: - Hard back fiction novels for adults. The hardback fictions that remain are usually children's books which aren't popular that they've labeled as adult books so they can price them $1 high. ($2.92) - I've seen large non-fiction books (coffee table books) priced as high as $6 - music instruments, they don't even sell the starter instruments your toddlers and preschoolers might use - books of sheet music - any vintage item that is in good repair - art supplies (I mean I found some broken crayons) - any designer clothing or bags (even the cheaper things like Gloria Vanderbilt jeans we can get at Costco for $20) - all leather jackets - all trench coats - vintage jewelry - enamel pins or little buttons - toys are mostly gone except some stuffies, especially any which might appeal to Gen X or older millennials as a nostalgia item They send all of this "good stuff" which they get for free and send it to a e-commerce sites where virtually everything starts priced at $9-50. Then they charge $2-7 for handling plus $5-15 for shipping for almost every item. This means for any new item, almost anything will cost you less to order from Amazon. They also tend to overprice things that are new and look ornate. For example, they are currently trying to sell a fountain pen that costs you $23 from Amazon for $59.99. I've emailed them several times since first seeing the item listed to inform them that it looks ornate but it is actually from a cheap pen company. Goodwill packaging which I assume is supposed to be covered by "handling" fee is BAD. I ordered a few things to test them out: - One arrived at my place okay. But it took over a week to leave their facility. When I emailed asking about the delay, they said that the items are only guaranteed to leave after 5 business days and Saturday and Sunday are not business days even though they are open on Saturday but closed on Friday. I ordered the item on Saturday, which meant it took they kept the item for 10 days to ship. - One lot of pens, for which I paid $25 in shipping and handling... they literally scraped into a plastic grocery bag then put the bag into the bottom of the box. The bag contained a delicate, early 1900s: mother of pearl dip pen with a gold nib which had a box that they declined to use, a glass fountain pen (also not in its box) and a bunch of nibs... plus 3 bonus razor blades all shipped 2000 miles to me with all the padding ABOVE the items. - Another they described as an inkwell (I am an artist)... it wasn't. It was 12 inches tall and a wine bottle. They provided no photos to give reference to size. - Another was a t-shirt press and it came wrapped in two boxes with no padding. The two boxes were held together by a piece of tape that may have been 2 inches long. If an item doesn't sell through their website on the first few rounds.... Like all those starter music instruments you might have bought for your kid for $5-10 and used artist loft kits that they were trying to start at $25 (when you shipping and handling fee ). They auction them off in giant boxes for hundreds to thousands of dollars. If you can avoid it don't shop at their stores, take the time to find another thrift store. But above all don't donate your items. They are taking the goods you are donating to help others in your community and selling them to people who have money to get into bidding wars. Meanwhile they are paying their CEO's up to $750,000 a year while paying their disabled employees as little as $0.75 and hour. No I didn't leave out a number. Seventy-five cents an hour. I recommend SVDP, Value Village, Humane Society Thrift Stores, Scraplants, and Habitat Humanity Re-Store. All of these are great places to donate and great places to shop. References regarding pay and Goodwill, I've seen no evidence that they've improved their ethics: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/disabled-workers-paid-just-pennies-hour-its-legal-flna6C10406957

Everything that my trip to Haiti was not, my trip to Africa was & I am so happy I decided to give 410 Bridge a 2nd chance! --- I certainly want to share all about the wondrous things I saw, people I met, and all the details from the PAGES of journal notes that I took every day. I want you to know how friendly the people of the nation of Kenya are & how the children are so dang adorable everywhere you go! I want to describe how every child I passed (particularly in more rural country regions) had a smile that would melt your heart & were eager to greet you with genuine warmth! They didn't just wave EVERY TIME, but (if you waved back) they would ask 'how are you' with an awesome little British accent to their twang. I was blown away with their manners. Some of these children wearing mismatched clothes without shoes on their feet would shake your hand, sometimes performing a curtsy. BLEW ME AWAY! In my journal I wrote: "I have experienced many hours of driving through this nation; From the airport and our first/last nights stay in Nairobi, to our main accommodations in Nanyuki (4 hours away), to our 1 hour drive one way to the Maasai tribal village of Segera each morning. Through my window I saw the way mankind was meant to interact with one another. It was like living in the most awesome subdivision ever. The joy on the faces of locals as they walked and talked with each other made it almost appeared that everyone was good friends. Not once have I seen a argument, a heated conversation, a child disrespecting their parent or a parent beating their child. What I have seen, is people who care about each other." I want to share with you all the wonderful stories I experienced through bible camp each day not only with the children, but courageous stories of adults too. Like Dorcas, a 19 year old female who was almost sold as a wife 3 times @ ages 10, 12 & 14. But in each case someone stood up for her and challenged the sale. In the Maasai culture, you bring shame to your family by fighting a sale and often become outcast by the community and your own family. Add to the story the man whom risked his life challenging the father and took Dorcas in as a daughter even though he was not financially ready. Or the story of the 12 year old boy I met who's parents were killed a year ago and he currently is living in a tiny hut shared by his 14 & 17 year old brother who care for him. Or the story of Jenny, a 19 year old girl with three children whom was sold into marriage @ age 12 and the overwhelming load of responsibilities that a Maasai women must burden; Such as walking several miles one way to retrieve water in 20 liter containers sometimes more than once a day. Being responsible for the children, the home and in many cases even building the home and doing all needed repairs. --- Yes, I want so badly to go into great detail of all that I saw, and maybe I will write an update to detail the stories I encountered. Each one alone would take up the 5,001 characters allowed by yelp in a single review. But what I want I truly want to do is congratulate and promote the work being done by 410 Bridge in this area of Kenya!!! The Maasai culture is a ancient one, in which old tradition is set and there is no movement. Many of these traditions go against basic modern human rights and the people are not receptive to "new things." At one point the Kenyan government had to force leaders of the tribe to send children to school to be educated. However, only elementary school is free in Kenya. To attend high school you must pay. 410 bridge has stepped in the gap of cultural tradition and is making a way for students to fulfill their education. Great progress is being made to get girls into school and improve their test scores. Young girls were missing an average of 1 month of school per year because they simply didn't have sanitary napkins when their monthly cycle arrived, until 410 Bridge began providing them. For others it was the lure of free food that keeps children coming to school. Still for others it was dormitories build on campus to keep many from walking over 10 miles to get educated. Then there is the matter of clean drinking water for the community. Water wells have been erected and tanks that store treated river water have been brought into the communities allowing for better hygiene, shorter walks and even irrigation for farming... a hugely necessary requirement to maintain self-sustaining agriculture. 410 also provides business education to promote entrepreneurship. Something as simple as gathering goat dung for sale as fertilizer has provided a basic income for many! 410 Bridge, this isn't just an upgraded review, it is an apology for not truly understanding all that you do and how truly amazing you are! 2016/135
