We adopted a very sweet dog from the Fredericksburg Animal Shelter. She was described as a…read more7-year-old mixed breed who enjoyed playing but was also happy to sit quietly indoors with us. We are an elderly couple and reside in an over 55 community, so we did not want a dog that was too energetic. She is a sweet dog, and we love her and are trying our best to work with her. That is the good part. Hint: We found a vet who agreed to work with us/her. The vet prescribed Prozac for anxiety. NOW! This SPCA seems to be a sloppy organization. 1. When we got there, a staff member pointed to a door and said that we could go there and see the animals. We didn't need a lot of directions, but we had to find the dogs on our own by following our own noses. 2. We had to wait a long time to meet the dog. 3. The answer to every question about the dog was, "I don't know." 4. The paperwork we received about the dog described her as 2 years old and gray. Her age on the cage was 7 and she IS brown. When the inaccuracy of the paperwork was brought to their attention, the answer was "that's ok". 5. We were ignorant and just accepted the mixed breed description. Mixed breed, perhaps but many people have stated that she looks like a pit. This has caused us a lot of grief in our over 55 community. 6. We were told her bad points are she doesn't like her butt touched & is afraid of syringes. Truth: Although she is a sweetheart to us and other people, she will not tolerate any vet. 7. She was so dirty when we got her that before going home, we had to take her immediately to PetSmart for a bath. 8. PetSmart could not bathe her with the neck collar from the shelter on and it was so tight that they were unable to get it off. The collar was so tight that my husband had to cut it off. Poor dog. How could any shelter allow a collar to be that tight?! This shelter should be investigated regarding truth in advertising and animal care.

I called ahead to let them know I was coming to pick the dogs up. When I got there I was treated like I was a terrible inconvenience. I have a beagle mix and a golden doodle. As I stood waiting for my dogs, I listened to the staff talk to a family who was going to purchase one of their puppies. They gave a whole lecture about how they love all of their dogs and have the right to take the dog back if they find out it's not being treated well, etc., etc. My dogs they didn't care so much about. My beagle was bleeding when I picked him up. Nothing was said to me about it. And both dogs had their harnesses wrapped around their necks instead of properly on their bodies. I was told the staff didn't know how they worked. Really? Just be aware. They look like a great facility, but they may not give you the service they promise.

I can't recommend The Parrot Domain strongly enough. The owner, Anne, is almost always there. The…read moreemployees are all long-term employees, and the customers are frequently long-time customers as well. I met Anne in 2008 when my son turned 13 and wanted a bird of his own. After meeting my son, Anne directed us to the Hahn's Macaw. The Hahn's was a perfect choice for our son and he's become a beloved member of the family. Anne gave freely and kindly of her knowledge and expertise to ensure that the bird thrived. Then several years ago, I decided I wanted an African Grey. Anne hand raised them from just a few days old. It is a huge amount of work, time and love that goes into hand-rearing baby birds. I went to the store several days a week during the months she was being hand fed in order to bond with my baby and get her used to me so she wasn't frightened when I brought her home. Anne welcomed me at any time, allowing me to sit and cuddle my baby even if it was close to closing time. The Parrot Domain is in a stone house on Lafayette Blvd., with huge windows in every room, plenty of space to move around, and happy birds in roomy cages. You could eat off the floors, and the cages are routinely stripped completely and hosed down...The store is clean, the cages are clean and the play stands are clean. During the day the birds are rotated out of their cages so everyone gets play time and several times per day they are given fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds to enrich their nutritionally complete pellet diets. Even on days the store is closed, someone comes in at least twice per day to clean, feed, water the birds, change out toys and give snacks and allow them play time. Often there is a radio left on for the calming human voice. The boarding birds are kept upstairs separately from the sale birds (as they should be) and there are pumps full of hand sanitizer around the store. In order to board your bird, the owner requires you have your bird examined by an avian veterinarian, and you must bring her a certificate of health from that vet to ensure your bird is not bringing illness into the environment. Over the years, we've boarded both of our birds with Anne several times, once for more than a month while we were on the west coast visiting family. Our son called several times while we were gone and Anne actually took the phone in to the boarding room and allowed my son to talk with his bird. When it comes to the birds being "neglected and unsocialized" I would have to ask how the previous reviewer came to this conclusion? Given that she felt like she got poor service, this seems more like a stab at the owner than a legitimate grievance. If you walk into that store you will see important things - the resident birds like Max, Kiwi and Sirabi are all sleek, healthy, shiny, and talkative with nary a plucked feather anywhere. Neglected birds don't look like that. They pluck, scream, bite and usually exhibit signs of illness. It's pretty much impossible to have a hand-raised bird that is "unsocialized." If you were to look at the store Facebook page today, you'd see the photos of Anne's home over Thanksgiving where she posted about eating in the kitchen because the baby birds are in their enclosures taking up her gorgeous dining room table. Heating pads, stuffed animals for babies to snuggle with, and clean towels in their boxes. Those babies go back and forth with Anne for the months they must be hand-fed, and get 24/7 attention and socialization. I will say that Anne has carried fewer cages since she moved to the new location. And yeah, you can get cheaper cages online, but you also get what you pay for. The cages Anne uses and sells are top of the line, sturdy and well made. They last forever. The weaker and thinner cheap online cages bend during shipping and often aren't sturdy enough for the bigger parrots. Anne provides many services beyond just selling birds, she does in-home consultations if you need it and she offers grooming services from bathing to nail, beak and wing trimming to those birdy parents who are not able to do it themselves. I couldn't recommend a store or person more than I would recommend The Parrot Domain. Anne and her staff are the best, hands down!

There are so many birds with so little staff there is no way they get the attention they need so I would never board my birds here. Furthermore, the woman who runs the store has *terrible* customer service. By far the worst I've experienced anywhere... And on a continual basis. I've asked her for several items or assistance and she acts like you inconvenience her. Online they offer new cages for sale, but when I asked her about buying one she told me they don't sell any until she changed her mind and showed me old, worn down and expensive cages. Again, if there were any other options as far as bird care and toys I would definitely avoid this place. Even visiting the birds is sad for me as they seem neglected and unsocialized. :(

After reaching out to them for a few weeks, they finally had the perfect donkey for our family , and a perfect companion for our guy. I filled in an application, and received a text a few hours later to say that we had been approved to adopt this particular animal. We made arrangements, booked a hotel room, confirmed all the details with them as we were coming from states away, and had cash in hand. We began preparing for the 14 hour roundtrip drive to pick him up. We were leaving today. Last night they sent me a text telling me that they adopted him out to someone else. My family is heartbroken. When I posted this info. on their most recent adoption post on Facebook, they blocked me. Not cool and a very immature move.
