They didn't even stay thirty minutes like they were supposed to and hardly walked the dogs for 5 minutes.

As much as I liked Melo (the name I gave him due to his calm demeanor) we just didn't need a 3rd dog. So I found the no-kill MHS who assessed him, thought he was a great dog they could get adopted, and they took him in. I checked back with Jessica every couple of weeks to see how Melo was doing. She always responded promptly with an update, but unfortunately, as a bigger dog (50#), Melo wasn't getting much interest. Jessica invited me to come visit him but I declined, fearing it would be traumatic for Melo -- and knowing it would be traumatic for me. Finally, after eight weeks, I had to see him again. Melo looked terrific -- clean, vibrant, and well cared for. I immediately fell back in love with him and applied for adoption. At this point it was a little frustrating that MHS made me go through the formal adoption procedure -- since I had been the one who brought him in. But I realized this is a good thing. They did a very thorough vetting of me, my living situation, and my means to take care of Melo properly. This showed me they don't allow their dogs to be taken by just anyone with $100 -- they make the effort to assure the dog will have a caring and stable home. I've had Melo back for three days now and couldn't be happier. He is a well-mannered joy, and within an hour we had re-bonded as we were before I took him to MHS. Thanks to Jessica and MHS, Melo was given great care while in their possession. I just love this dog! (Attaching my favorite photo of Melo, from when he first showed up and we made him wear a diaper while getting house trained. He made himself at home here!)

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this facility, and I must say, I was truly taken aback by the exceptional 'customer service' provided by the front staff. They certainly have a unique approach to making you feel unwelcome. It's not every day you encounter such an enthusiastic attitude about being inconvenienced by a visitor. 2. I was also impressed by the shelter's 'clear' communication. After I reached out via email for some important questions, I received a response that really set the tone: apparently, emails are only responded to at the staff's convenience. 3. The shelter itself could certainly use a little TLC, but I'm sure they prioritize other things. After all, it's not every day you visit a place where the staff makes you feel like a true bother just for showing up. If you're looking for a warm and inviting place to adopt a pet, perhaps consider other options before visiting here. I would like to add that this facility did have 2 younger women who were AMAZING and KIND employees to us that made us feel so welcomed on 3/25-3/26.

I never thought I would be reviewing a pet cremation organization. I am brokenhearted to share that…read moremy pet goats were mauled to death by neighborhood dogs off leash. The goats were larger than a large dog, and we were unable to bury them on our property due to their size. We called our veterinarian, and they recommended Companah. When I called, Sean spoke with me in the gentlest and most compassionate voice. He outlined our options and made an immediate appointment for our goats. We drove down to the location, and we were greeted by the sweetest, most gentle young women. The first thing they said was that they were sorry for my loss. I seem to recall a gentle hug. They brought out carts and carefully loaded the goats. They spoke with me about our options for aftercare for the goats. In a few days, we received a message that our goats were ready to go home. I drove up and picked up the packages. The young woman again was so deeply kind and gentle. I was overwhelmed with the quality and craftsmanship of the memorial pieces I bought to remember my goats. I kept waiting for someone to make fun of me for wanting to preserve the goats in this way, to tell me it was silly or unnecessary. But the entire staff treated me like I had lost a family member, an aunt, a mother, a father. I did lose two family members. The staff at Companah Pet Cremation and Aftercare treated me with dignity and respect. I did not get anyone's names; I was too broken. But thank you to the wonderful staff for taking care of my pets with such care and dignity.

Hal was kind, sympathetic and held my sweet boy with care as if Dinker was his own pet. Companah's understanding the depth of my loss, professionalism and compassion gave me comfort in knowing I had entrusted my beloved Dinker to good caring people, a quality company.

If you have an anxious or fearful dog, I can't recommend Proactive Dog Training enough!…read moreI have a smaller dog with some pretty significant anxiety and behavioral challenges. At one point, I was even advised to consider medication--but I really wanted to explore training options first. That's when I found Javier Mendoza and his team, and I'm so glad I did. The transformation has been incredible, especially in such a short amount of time. My dog went from being afraid to walk past even a single stranger on the sidewalk... to more confidently walking through a crowded airport. The difference is honestly amazing. I've also seen a huge improvement in how he responds to other dogs and people, and his loose leash walking has gone from a struggle to something we can actually enjoy. What really stood out to me was how knowledgeable and supportive Javier and his team are. They didn't just train my dog--they took the time to explain the "why" behind everything, breaking down the science in a way that made sense and answering all of my questions along the way. Of course, I know training is an ongoing process, and I'll need to keep reinforcing what we've learned (and probably come back for a few follow-ups). But the progress we've made so far has exceeded my expectations. If you're dealing with an anxious, fearful, or reactive dog, do yourself a favor and check them out. Total game changer.

Our dog Calvin has been home from his two week stay for about a week now, and we could not be more…read morepleased! Prior to his stay at Proactive, walking him was exhausting and I'm amazed my arms were still in their sockets. He also loved to steal things and run through the dog door to the fenced back yard and either hide it (like a Christmas present he stole from under the tree until we wised up and moved them all) or just play chase (which we never won). He also would dig a lot (especially if it was wet and muddy!) and loved to make a snack of our other dog's poop. After he went through training at Proactive (we did the two week Ultimate Dog Package), he is SO well behaved. He's still his fun-loving self, but he listens and does what he is told. It only took two times correcting the poop eating and digging and he has stopped trying to do it. Walking him is an absolute joy, we've even been practicing dropping the leash in areas we feel it's safe to do so and he's been great. I HIGHLY recommend Proactive...all the trainers were great, and you can see videos daily of their progress while they're gone, as well as meet them for practice sessions. If you're at all considering dog training, just call them, you will not be disappointed!

Fiancee and I were in town for a wedding and had little Zo with us for the weekend and she desperately needed a place to get some energy out. I searched for a dog park in the area and this was the only fenced one that I could find. We had a bit of trouble finding it, but the directions on Yelp are quite accurate, don't rely on Google's directions. We happened to walk in right as someone else was leaving (hence how we were able to make it in), as this place is a gated community (i.e. you need an access code to get in.) I think this is a great idea. They have a great park that is well kept all because people contribute a small amount a year (I believe the membership fee is $30). They have an application process and require immunizations, basically keeping out dogs that shouldn't be playing with others. We had a great conversation with the people who started the park. They were all quite friendly, even though we were a party-crasher. If I lived in this area, I would 100% be a member of this park!

I used to go to Martin Park off Commerce near Walmart in So Pines, which is pretty and has a nice creek. But, there were some dogs that were aggressive or poorly behaved. Dogs actually jumped on me and other people, and the owners did nothing to stop it! Not cool to leave muddy as a human. Dawned on me there was also nothing to stop people from bringing in dogs with no immunizations or with disease either.. So,, I decided to look Into other options and discovered pooch in the pines. What's nice is since everyone pays to be there, we police ourselves. Poop is picked up promptly and badly behaved dogs are peer pressured into an early departure. Ahh,, nice peaceful dog playground. There's also plenty of fresh water, plumbing, even a little kiddie pool, tennis balls and poo-bag stations. Downsides- not as big a community as Martin Park, so sometimes I get there and there are no other dogs. Some people may like that though,, and my dog gets off leash time, which he loves, so I guess it's not so bad!

Since then, it has become apparent what an absolute GIFT Garry provided to me. I got to know Andy through frequent pictures and videos when he was first born. When I got him, Andy was sleeping through the night after 4 days and was about 75% potty trained. On our way home from picking him up, he was whimpering a bit. When I took him out of the car and put him in the grass, he went potty right away! By the time he was 4 months old, he was fully trained. He hasn't had any accidents in the house since-- and maybe only 5-10 accidents TOTAL as a puppy. Andy is a mini poodle. He comes to work with me and brings so much joy to all of the college students I work with. He is the snuggliest little boy you'll ever meet, and has so much love to give. I've attached some pictures so you can see just how cute he is. I STRONGLY recommend going to Garry for your next puppy-- I would never go anywhere else.
