I don't believe in giving shelters zero stars unless they truly deserve it. It is not an easy job…read moreto do. But today made me tempted to submit a zero star review. I had the intention of adopting a dog today which I saw on the website. It didn't say on the website that he was neutered YESTERDAY. I visited the dog in person without knowing that and loved how sweet he was and we bonded instantly. When I committed to taking him home I wasn't aware he was JUST neutered. I thought maybe it was recent but not yesterday. I had already agreed to taking him home though, and I felt bad that he just had surgery and was in the shelter. Very sweet love bug but I also cannot commit to all of the long list of after care requirements of the surgery when it is that new and I didn't know what I was getting myself into fully. They didn't even give him his medication for the day when I picked him up around 1:30 pm. I forgot the medication there and no one called me to let me know. It's so hard to reach the staff members. The voicemail boxes are full, no one answers and there is no general number to the shelter where you can speak to someone. I didn't get a cone and they only offered medication for like a day. Not only that, the dog had a lot of separation anxiety that was making me anxious. I didn't want to say that because I didn't want to hurt the dog's chances of adoption asap. I was not prepared to deal with that much anxiety post surgery either. I had the dog for maybe 4 hours. He had time away from the shelter, had treats, was cuddled, and I even bought him a cute collar that made him look so handsome. When I dropped the dog off, one officer treated me like I've had the dog his whole life and like I was abandoning him, and made me feel really uncomfortable and guilty. She said, "go up to the counter and tell them exactly the reason you told me for returning him", reprimanding me. At least I brought the dog back before he got extremely attached which was happening quickly and I only had the dog for a few hours??? And the way she tried to shame me in front of the other staff was totally uncalled for and inappropriate for the situation. I help this shelter any time I can and to treat me like a piece of crap that was abandoning a dog was not cool.

The directions to the place weren't very straightforward, but after driving around the property we eventually spotted the sign on the building. Before he got his shots, we had to sign him in, and the staff was sooooo friendly. You could immediately tell they genuinely loved dogs. Having such welcoming and caring staff made the visit a lot easier and less stressful for both us and the dogs. While we were there, we also ran into some other friendly dogs, which was nice. There was even a mini dog park area in the front for pets waiting for their visit, along with a water bowl for the dogs and cats. It was a thoughtful touch that made the place feel very pet friendly. Overall, it was a really good visit. We'll definitely be coming back for his second round of shots, and honestly, I'm excited to bring him back already Lastly, there's no photos or video recording while your pet is getting its shots.

Carrie, the woman who runs the organization, has a HUGE heart and spends an enormous amount of time rescuing threatened cats and dogs, getting them healthy and well-behaved (although, to be honest, most of them are already very healthy and well-trained by the time they get to SIAR), and finding them permanent loving homes. You can see their list of currently up-for-adoption animals here: http://www.siarescuers.com/ADOPTABLE_ANIMALS.html the list changes weekly, and if you're looking for something in particular, contact Carrie and she'll try to match you with just what you're looking for. Once we have the baby and things settle down & we adopt a new dog, we'll definitely go through SIAR. Carrie charges a small fee for adoption, just enough to cover shots/altering/microchipping and any necessary vet bills. She's a wonderful lady and does a huge service to the animals and animal lovers of Sacramento!

After losing our Bernese Mountain Dog to cancer two years earlier, we were ready to embark on…read morebringing home another "big" dog into our homes and hearts. We had applied with multiple rescues across Sacramento, but many were non-respondent or had old legacy listings for dogs that were no longer available. When we saw "Fuggle" pop up on AdoptAPet.com one morning, I knew I had to put in an application for our family, despite feeling hopeless that it would not go anywhere. The application was quite thorough, but was quite similar to those we'd filled out for our Berner. I received an auto-reply stating they would reach back within a week, and lo and behold 7 days later, I received the happiest news and sweetest email, "I am happy to tell you that we have selected you for my favorite puppy! He really is the cutest.  What is your schedule like? I am hoping to do homechecks this week and then have the puppies picked up from the adoption event this weekend.  Just to make it easier for us to get it done :)" We quickly got in touch for a homecheck after work one day, were officially approved and were able to take "Fuggle" home just 13 days after submitting our application. The adoption process was so incredibly smooth and easy, and everyone at Recycled Pets was incredibly nice and professional, from the home visit, to the foster parents, to the adoption day. We've since attended a puppy reunion with his litter, and have joined a wonderful online community that celebrates everyone's extra-special love for their Recycled Pet. I'm so happy that Recycled Pets helped us find "Fuggle" but just as happy that we have such a caring and loving rescue organization here in Sacramento.

I learned about Cats About Town through my veterinarian when my cat was diagnosed with stomatitis,…read morean autoimmune condition that often requires a full-mouth extraction to relieve significant pain. After contacting several providers, I was quoted between $3,000 and $5,000, with no firm estimate until surgery was underway. Cats About Town offered a much more affordable option at $850 (includes $150 for bloodwork due to my cat's age), which made this necessary procedure accessible for me. My cat had surgery this week and is already doing well. I plan to follow up with our regular vet in about a week and will update my post when he is fully recovered. Suna and Elaine were incredibly kind and clearly passionate about animals. Suna was able to schedule my cat quickly given the urgency of his condition, which was such a relief. I highly recommend Cats About Town to anyone looking for a compassionate, effective, and affordable option for veterinary dental care.
