It's been a little over a year since we got our dog Benji from Lisa and "A Dog's Place", and we…read morecouldn't be happier! Except for one thing: We should have taken another one, or two, or three... If we only had the space! All the dogs from pups to the older "scary" looking pitbull types were so sweet and gentle. Lisa was so good with all of them and even the new rescues that came in the ones that seemed scared or nervous Lisa just had a way with them and a good eye for which ones needed more attention or maybe needed more time to adjust. We hope we have our guy forever but if we don't or if we can ever manage to have another or additional rescues, this is the only place we will go to. Thank you Lisa and "A Dog's Place"! You're the best!!!!

We adopted two dogs from here - we were told that the 3 year old dog was spayed and that she was…read morethe mother of the puppy we also adopted. The 3 year old dog went into heat after we had her for a month (i.e., not spayed), and out of curiosity we did dog DNA tests and the two dogs were not related. In general our experience wasn't the greatest - this rescue is disorganized, and we were given false information about the dogs. Furthermore, we contacted them, since part of the adoption fee included spaying the dog. They told us they are getting a refund from the vet, but that they don't believe they should refund us any money. So bottom line they don't pay for our dog being spayed, but we are charged for spaying as part of the adoption fee. If you're considering adopting a dog, PLEASE DO SO. We would just suggest that you find another rescue. I believe the people associated with this rescue have the best interests of the dogs at heart, and we're so glad we got our two dogs, but there are better places to find an awesome rescue dog.

I originally purchased my precious boy Drogon (previously Duke) in October of 2018. Yesterday, my…read moredog passed away, at the young age of 3 years and 9 months, in his sleep due to Chronic Kidney Disease. The issues first started only 3 months after purchasing him from the Longs. He suffered multiple UTIs, incontinence, inappetence, and low energy before I found out the cause. After multiple diagnostic tests including an ultrasound, I was informed that he was born with deformed kidneys. Both kidneys were misshapen and smaller than they should be. Ultimately, at 15 months he presented with Stage 2 Renal Failure (based off his numbers), and was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease. I informed the Longs of this to let them know that the litter may have issues (as the Vet said it was congenital defect), and to prevent this tragedy from happening to anyone else. After telling me it was too late for a refund (which I never asked for) they told me they would look into it and find the cause. I called them back to determine the results of their findings, and they just said it wasn't an issue on their end. I informed them of the ultrasound results, and I never heard from them again. It's impossible for it to be anything else, as a puppy that young would have had to been born with the disease. My dog fought for his life for 3 1/2 beautiful years. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, I pray no other dog owners have to suffer through the difficulty of caring for a chronically ill pet. I believe there must be negligent breeding practices occurring for my dog to come to me so ill of health. I had no warning, and there was never any accountability taken.

Otherwise, the process takes a little less than a few hours and totally worth it!

This review is for the Rehoboth Beach Adoption Center on Coastal Highway in Rehoboth Beach, DE. The…read moreadoption center is associated with the main location in Wilmington, DE, but doesn't have a Yelp specific page. My daughter and I visited this location to look at the dogs and cats. We have plans to adoption another dog possibly if we can find the right personality. Plus coming from a animal sheltering background of 20+ years, I cannot pass up an opportunity to visit any animal shelter. The lady working at the front desk - Kimberly D. was so kind and super friendly! She was so nice to my daughter who loves cats and wants to volunteer at a shelter when she is old enough. The lady showed us the cat room and talked to Giana about ways she can help animal shelters even though she isn't old enough to actually volunteer at a shelter. She told us how other kids would ask for animal supplies as birthday gifts instead of the usual gift for themselves. She showed us the dog areas where we got to see the dogs. Overall, our experience was the highlight of the day and I am truly grateful for Kimberly's kindness and enthusiasm for the work that she does. I'm sure she made an impact on my daughter as well!!!

Fenced in space for pups to play, other friendly pups to play with, friendly, loving and attentive owners of the business. Gwen and Ben, radiate love for dogs! I feel like they are my family members watching my pup and he loves them so much that when we say their names, he runs around looking for them. The service is 100 %- always on time, great with communicating and we get so many updates on our pup. We never have to worry when our Winston is visiting. We know that Winston would prefer to get boarded at Tunie's, so we always ask for their availability first before looking for any other options, including family. Your pup will have the safest, best time and you will not have to worry about a thing!

We drove 2.5 hours to meet the available puppies, and it was well worth the trip. Joe was friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions. He was transparent, professional, and offered his puppies at reasonable prices. Like many new puppy owners, I experienced a bit of the "puppy blues" during the first couple of days because it was such a big adjustment. Joe was incredibly supportive and provided helpful tips and advice that made the transition much easier. Micah is happy, healthy, and has brought so much joy into our lives. He gets compliments and makes people smile everywhere we go. In fact, one woman even stopped us to ask where we got him, and we happily recommended Sweet Dream Puppies. The property is peaceful, clean, and very well maintained, reflecting the care that goes into raising the puppies. We highly recommend Sweet Dream Puppies to anyone looking for a healthy, well-socialized puppy and a positive adoption experience.

I really wanted to like this place and had high hopes for them. However this whole place and staff…read morehas disappointed me from the start to the end. It took me almost a month because First when I took my fur baby there they wanted to charge me the highest package they had without even fully evaluating him. I wanted with it to see if it was worth it because it's his first time here and I have nothing to compare it to. I went a whole day ahead and paid because I didn't want to do the deposit over the phone. The next day Saturday the groomer whom I met before was suppose to be be there get my dog and she wasn't as promised but ok I still went along against better judgement. After having my fur baby for about 6 hours he still wasn't ready to be picked up. We left and returned and he was finally ready. When I arrived my overly friendly dog was not his normal self he looked terrified. Finding out the 'professional ex vet assistant groomer" cut a hole the size of a quarter out my baby's belly area. She then tells me she gave him peroxide and some powder to try and stop the bleeding cause she use to work in a vet office. She also as an apology tried to give me 5.00 back after I paid $65.00, $5.00 was an insult and a slap in my face. I had to take my dog to the vet and have his hole stapled close and he had to wear a cone around his neck and take antibiotics because it get infected. After communicating back and forth with the owner she seem like she was genuinely concerned and offered me a refund of my grooming and vet bill. This post is not about the money it's about the quality of service I received this particular visit. Needless to say I will never take my dog back there again. I found so many small cuts on him later it made me very sad. The groomer has the audacity to say he wouldn't keep still during his grooming ??!!! I'm like yeah if you took a chunk of my skin off And I'm bleeding and you still wanna groom me I wouldn't sit still either. 8/6/19 update, I did receive a check to reimburse me for the fees and also the grooming bill. Although this does not replace my fur baby pain and suffering, it's appreciated in trying to help correct this incident. I will say all the owner attempts were considerable.

I DARE YOU TO FIND A WORSE DOG TO GROOM THAN MOLLY. SKEPTICAL AT FIRST BUT MOLLY GIVES AVERY'S FIVE…read moreBIG WAGS! BACKGROUND OF THE FURRY CLIENT: Molly is a 2.5 year old abused rescue who was shot as a puppy and left in the woods. When I adopted Molly she would not let me touch her prior to adoption. Not once. I was told she had a couple of hours before she would be euthanized. I have this horrible habit of caring for these animals...and so our journey began. Over three months, of persistent "I'm not playing...don't even come near me" Molly was the master of the intimidating growl. I have never been afraid to approach a dog until meeting Molly. She is unsure of strangers, unfamiliar activities, and loud noises - on top of many of the regular fears dogs have with grooming. It took 8 months before she would let me (the human with her daily food ration) to be allowed to even touch her with grooming gloves or a brush. There are many concerns I have had with traditional grooming businesses for Molly: * they are usually loud, even early in the day because of the barking and multiple equipment running simultaneously; * the scheduling is primarily based on business needs more than your pup's requirements because everyone has special request for their baby and they all can't be accommodated; and * often your dog is put in a cage (ok, call it a crate if you must) between when they call you and how fast you can get there. This is true for absolutely every dog salon I have tried with Molly. I have paid for moderate and high end grooming trying to address this dirty dog's needs. Molly and I recently moved to Wayne where there are many places Molly can swim and play in the mud. In fact, it is a daily occurrence for Molly. Makes for a fun doggy day...also makes for one dirty/smelly dog, car, and house. It was turning into an emergency situation actually. I was so happy when I came across Avery's in Yelp. I read all of the reviews and called immediately to schedule an appointment. I was able to get on the schedule within two weeks. The next thing you know, an Avery's van pulled into my parking area and Josie was Molly's groomer. I can't tell you what exactly happened in that van - but what I can tell you is my dog looked fantastic and she was not stressed in the slightest. Normally, when I pick her up from a grooming session, she is so excited to see me. I can't be positive...but Molly might have gone home with Josie (who is now my permanent choice for a groomer). Here is the reality - the service of Avery's is definitely a bit more expensive than a traditional salon. I can tell you for a dog like Molly there will never be a traditional salon so long as Avery's is an option for me. The lack of stress for her, which translates into the lack of stress for me, is worth every penny. I don't know too many dogs that love the grooming experience to begin with - so this helps dogs that don't suffer from anxiety like my girl. I can also say that there is a lot of time saved from going back and forth to the groomer for me. I went back into my condo while Molly was getting all dolled up by Josie, and merely walked outside my building to pick her back up. It was so simple it is a bit ridiculous that everyone with a dog doesn't just take advantage of this type of dog grooming. I make it a point to provide feedback on Yelp because I rely on the feedback of others frequently. I only give honest input...good or bad. I definitely recommend Avery's without hesitation. Just keep your eye out on your pup if you get Josie as your groomer...I think she may be the Dog Whisper of Grooming!
