    Update: Within minutes of posting this review, B**** of Casa Dogs texted my husband threatening legal action. She accused me of slander, which is not accurate. She means libel, but that's not applicable here. I have all of the documentation to back up each and every statement below, so try me. B**** also had Yelp remove the review because I had used her first & last name. Her first and last name are associated with Casa Dog in public records, so it's freely available to everyone, but I have removed B****'s name. Written Oct 3rd, 2024: I want to make everyone aware of a situation involving a public health concern and a local non-profit animal rescue organization, Casa dog, of Puyallup. In March, my family and I adopted Zoey (4 m/o) from Casa Dog. She had been in a foster home in Auburn, and a shelter in Mexico, before that. Soon after adoption, we noticed that Zoey was having health issues. We took her to many vet appointments, and to see specialists. We did x-rays and bloodwork, and couldn't find what was causing her pain and lethargy. Zoey's condition deteriorated quickly. It was heartbreaking and sad to see a puppy in pain and unable to move very well. We continued to look for medical help and put her on several prescriptions to try to keep her comfortable. In August, she had an episode of paralysis. I took her to the emergency vet and showed them a (horrific) video that I had filmed in an effort to best communicate the situation and symptoms to them. We quickly found that she needed a neurologist. After additional rounds of testing with the neurologist, we received the crushing news that Zoey was infected with Brucella Canis, an incurable bacterial infection, which is often transmitted from mother to puppies, and is more common in Mexico than the PNW. This bacteria is zoonotic, meaning it can spread to humans, although it's not common. There is no cure. Treatment for dogs consists of massive amounts of multiple antibiotics, sometimes for over a year at a time. There are many painful side effects from that, not to mention the risk of boosting an antibiotic resistant bacteria in our communities. Remission is often short lived. A commonly mentioned symptom of this infection in humans, is spontaneous late term abortion for pregnant women. This is really bad stuff for both dogs and humans. The prednisone that had been boosting Zoey's quality of life, was also suppressing her immune system and allowing the infection to rage. We believe the infection made it to her spine and was causing the severe pain and paralysis. We made the excruciating decision to euthanize her in September at the age of 10 months old. My husband and I are devastated, our two young children are distraught. We are all heartbroken. I provided updates to B**** of Casa Dog, as we were going through infectious disease testing. I asked B**** many times if the other adoptive families were being contacted to be made aware of the risk, especially once Zoey had tested positive for Brucella. B**** said yes, she had shared the information. I now know that she had not. Veterinarians are required to report each Brucella infection to the CDC and the department of health. There is contact tracing that goes on and lengthy questionnaires about how much contact you had with the animal's blood, saliva, waste, etc., symptoms to watch for until March of next year, and information on prophylactic protection options for humans. In searching for answers to what was going on with Zoey and what was making her so sick, I met the human family of one of her littermates, Pepito. Pepito is also sick. Pepito's humans found a littermate, Teddy. Teddy is not showing symptoms now, but he was very sick when they adopted him. All three have now tested positive. There are 3 more puppies (there were 6 in the litter) and the mother dog out there, in someone's home, very likely with this infection. There are people, like B**** at Casa Dog, who have those families' contact information, and should be providing them with this critically important personal and public health information. Based on my interactions with Casa Dog, I do not have confidence that this is being done. At each turn, when given the opportunity to do the right thing, Casa Dog has not. Dogs are not supposed to be brought into the United States for adoption if under 6 months of age. I didn't know this when we adopted Zoey, but a quick search of Casa Dog's Facebook feed reveals that nearly all of the puppies are younger than 6 months. Another concern that I have is that the vaccine paperwork sent by B**** to both Pepito's and Teddy's humans is exactly the same. I'm hoping that was an error, but I do wonder. For public health and safety, I hope that this information makes it out to the general public. No one should be adopting dogs from Casa dog.

    Our experience with Casa Dogs was easy. I filled out an application for a specific dog. We met him and he did not warm up to us so we didn't take him. Then I saw Luca on Petfinder and knew I had to have him. The foster brought him to us and it was a great connection. They do warn you it takes about a month for the dog to settle in so I knew what to expect. He is such a sweetheart. Casa Dogs was easy to deal with. We've even toyed with the idea of getting a second dog from them

    I have asked Casa dog to get these puppies that are their property multiple times, they have not done so and have informed me that pretty much I am stuck with them until they find homes. I want to give them back they will not take them. I want to find them loving homes they say they will report as stolen. Do your own research. There is an article on seattle dog spot .com that has written about casa dog in 2022. Search on secretary of state and you can find more info as well. I want to be done being associated with them and they have left me stuck with the puppies and not being able to find homes for them. Messages as proof.

    I am not sure what this is but it's not a rescue. Rude, inconsiderate, unable to respond or remember who they talked to

    I'm on a vacation to see my family and friends in Washington and as a proud cat mama whose missing…read moreher babies dearly right now, I decided to stop in Catfeinated to enjoy a Meow-Cha (mocha) and a "Chill Cat" Kit-tea (Lavender, chamomile, rose and catnip tea) and of course, go visit the sweet cats and pet them. I enjoyed my coffee drink and tea and ofcourse, enjoyed my experience visiting the adorable cats there but the reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that I felt bad for the little cuties.. at least half of them looked exhausted and possibly a bit sickly even. They normally charge $15 for an hour long visit with the cats.. I happened to walk in almost a half hour into the hour and they offered to let me have a 30 min visit with the cats for $7 which is what I did... and i'm glad it worked out like that as I think an hour would be too long when there was only maybe 6 cats in total there and I really didn't feel like paying $15 to see some cats up close.. that's a bit steep but hopefully all the money they make from that goes towards the cat's care. I'll likely be back again on a future trip to check in on the cats and get another delicious drink.

    Really good coffee, and my wife got to enjoy the time with the kitties. It is 15 dollars to go into…read morethe car room. That seems a little expensive, like 10 dollars would be perfect, but I get it they do adoptions and I know the money is going to help the cats rather then into a rich corporate pocket. The two hairless kitties were adorable. We will for sure be back!

This girl I adopted from the Auburn Valley Humane Society was exactly what my husband and I needed. And I can't say thank you enough to the Humane Society, after my hour meet-and-greet I knew I was adopting right then and the staff shared in my excitement and made it a wonderful experience. The staff is super sweet and they do everything they can for the dogs and cats they have. Very clean and welcoming place!

I held her and knew I wanted to take her home. I was provided a reasonable sum of money to adopt her and decided to proceed. when I asked what the process would be another employee came in at which time the process was reviewed and I was told the cost would $500 for her (she was a pup)! this was way outside my budget and I certainly would have said yes knowing the outcome of pocket. when my daughter and I mentioned that was not the price quoted we were told that there was nothing they could do. so I left. 1 hour and tears later I turned around and spent money I shouldn't have. "nova" was anticipated to be a small breed (24 pounds or less) wiener mix. Fast forward. "Nova" is now Magnolia/Maggie she is 35-40 pounds and shows every trait of a coon hound. Ending: over paid for a puppy after being quoted a lower price (yes I went back and paid it) that is bigger then I wanted and a breed that doesn't really work in an office due to the whining, howling and need for activity. oh and did I mention that they forgot to send her home with meds for after spay and wanted me to drive back from Yelm to Auburn? nice facility. disorganized. Not willing to follow through in incorrect pricing quotes.
