Rude receptionist. So I was looking to adopt a dog. And I didn't get approved, which is fine…read more Wasn't meant to be. Because we have two barn cats that aren't up to date on vaccines. (They came with our house and we did do some routine de wormer and checked that they are spayed, they were left by previous family and it is what it is. We love and care for them). So that is all fine. What isn't fine is that the receptionist tells me like I'm now being judged and then just hung up on me while I was speaking. You get paid to sit in a chair and make a phone call. I was at work on a tractor and still stopped what I was doing and was politely handling business. Quality control is out the window. Good luck little pup!!

We didn't fully know what to expect at The Gentle Barn St. Louis since their social media is a mix…read moreof all three of their locations. We were SO IMPRESSED and so so happy we went! The Gentle Barn was clean and well-maintained and almost every animal had a "handler" who was super friendly, well-informed and chatty. We were three adults who spent 3 leisurely hours there, just enjoying the beautiful grounds and rescued farm animals. The Gentle Barn is perfect for all ages, but be aware that it may be hard to navigate if you have a physical disability... it IS a farm, not a paved exhibit. I really liked that the little gift shop had the option to buy a bale of hay for the animals for $20. What an easy and do-able way to help! (If you can leave there and buy 3-4 Starbucks drinks for your family, which we did, you can buy a bale of hay!) Don't sleep on this place. It is worth the very reasonable entrance fee, and the experience was incredibly special.

The lady brought out the dog, which was wet and had feces on its shoulder fur. I decided to adopt the dog due to its good personality. After accepting the paperwork the woman came back and asked whether the puppy was going to be an indoor or outdoor dog. I stated that she was going to be an outdoor dog. This killed the deal despite the plan to keep the dog inside till it was bigger. The lady said that their policy would not allow puppies to be outdoor dogs. Perhaps some of the detail that they show in interrogating potential owners would be better used in care for the animals. After 2 wasted trips and broken hearts I can not say we or the dog were well served.

The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly! I can say from personal experience that they go very far to make sure the animals going through their non-profit facility go to the right loving responsible home. The negative reviews on here don't line up with our experience. I highly recommend looking at their program called "Paws for Parole". These dogs come out of the program well behaved and trained. As a previous dog trainer I can say this level of training can cost thousands of dollars. Our gentle giant Izzy (Formally known as Candy) came to us potty trained, obedience trained, and with a beautiful level attitude that takes months of dedicated training to achieve. If I could give this place 6 stars I would!

They go above and beyond for all of their customers. We lost our foster dog and they were posting and out looking for her tirelessly with us until she was found. They recruited others to help as well. What other business do you know that would do that?! They truly love what they do and care so much about animals. They are very knowledgeable about the products they sell and have reps come in to give educational talks which I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate. Anyone can start a business but it takes a special group of people to create a sense of community and family in that business. Support them, this town NEEDS them here! They are some of the best and most welcoming people you will meet.

His normal place sent him a last minute email that they had accidentally overbooked and he would be waitlisted. By last minute, I mean 30 mins before we were going to leave and drop him off. In a panic, we found Country Acres, who was able to take him last minute. They are incredible kind and patient, despite us getting every piece of information wrong. We knew his pup was in good hands, because all of the handlers we met were so nice and understanding, and at pick up explained he had actually ran out of food in the morning and they supplemented. The facility is extremely well maintained, offers additional services to really make your furry family member feel at home or pampered.

STLSDP, is a foster-based program, endowed with compassionate volunteers, who provide medical, physical and emotional care before their rescues are placed into their forever homes, It is often the last hope for these older animals.

Every dog we have adopted has brought immense joy and love into our family. These older animals desperately need a safe and loving home to finish out their remaining years. Please adopt an older pet and thank you to STLSDP for providing these loving animals with the consistent and compassionate care they so richly deserve.

Explaining my situation, I made clear that I needed assistance and was asking for any information, if they could take this poor dog, etc. All I received was a very cold response via email - "At this time we have no openings. I'm sorry." I then inquired about other places and said that I was desperate. I got another response asking a couple of questions, and for a picture. I sent them my replies, and then another cold, unfeeling response: There are many cavalier rescues and beagle rescues. It was so unhelpful. I just thought people would try harder to help.
