This shelter is one of the worst when it comes to honesty, communication, and compassion toward…read moreboth animals and owners. My situation involved my dog being seized after running at large and biting someone. I will fully admit that my dog was aggressive toward people he didn't know because of trauma from his previous home. As heartbreaking as it was, my family eventually made the difficult decision to euthanize him. What made this situation unbearable was the way the shelter handled it. After multiple phone calls with staff and supervisor Dani, we were clearly told that we could come Saturday to sign the papers, euthanize him, and pick him up afterward. Because he was deeply loved, we visited him several times beforehand. The day before our scheduled date, we came to see him again, discuss giving him a last meal, and sign any paperwork they needed. Instead, we were informed they had already euthanized him without notifying us -- after specifically telling us Saturday was the agreed date. Their excuse was "miscommunication." One explanation was that because my sister visited him Thursday, they assumed it was okay to proceed. Another excuse was that a supervisor approved it because he was considered "a danger." Yet when we directly asked if he was a danger to staff, we were told no, and that they "deal with stuff like this all the time." Even while visiting him, I personally watched staff interact with him physically, and he responded calmly and familiarly with them. The entire situation was handled with a complete lack of professionalism, compassion, and communication. It honestly feels like they knew they could get away with handling things this way because of the circumstances surrounding my dog. No matter the situation, owners deserve honesty, communication, and the chance to properly say goodbye to an animal they loved.

After three days of trying, I finally trapped a feral cat who has visited me daily for years but had never allowed anyone to touch him. The clinic was willing to see him on short notice and accommodated my urgency when he was injured. The staff were not only attentive and professional, but also incredibly compassionate. They understood my financial concerns and worked thoughtfully within them. Most importantly, they handled him with patience and care, helping him feel safe enough to be touched for the first time in sixteen years. Because of their kindness and skill, there is now real hope that he may finally become an indoor cat. I am deeply grateful for the care they provided and would recommend Four Paws without hesitation.

Sadly, Wednesday before Thanksgiving my baby passed away. At home we noticed she wouldn't stand up…read moreand her breathing was becoming more and more shallow. I decided I had to take her to a clinic because I didn't want her to suffer if that is what was happening. She had stopped barking or whining so there was no telling. The Johnston Animal Hospital was the closest option for me but I knew that on the drive there was a possibility my baby wouldn't make it. When I arrived with my mother and our dog the treatment we received was cold and it almost felt like they were looking at us as beggars. After we were taken into one of the check up rooms a nurse, and both Vets stepped inside. One of the them, the youngest, didn't say much, checked her heartbeat and touched her and without any empathy just looked at me and said "She's dead." That was all, no sorry for your loss, no trying to empathize with the client. I went on to ask about next steps, and cremation, because after pronouncing my dog dead they just stood there in silence not even giving me an option. They informed me that they could give me the names of places I could take her to. That they offered services but that they wouldn't be open Thursday or Friday. It gave me the feeling that they did not want to offer those services to me. When I stepped out to the check out office both doctors kept whispering to themselves and looking at us. When they left they didn't even say anything to us. While they didn't charge us anything their treatment was just horrible. And for the "services," if one can even call them that," I would not have paid a dime. I am a young Hispanic female and that day I hope that the treatment I received was not due to my appearance. I would never recommend this clinic to anyone and I hope that no one else has to have an experience like this, especially during a time filled with so much heartbreak.

Positive Reinforcement Training If you need a dog trainer,…read moreRashaad of Jack's Pack Dog Development is your Guy! He has been a lifesaver for me. Rashaad uses positive reinforcement training as a reward (treats, praise, toys, anything the dog finds rewarding) for desired behaviors. He understands that because the reward makes dogs more likely to repeat the behavior, positive reinforcement is one of your most powerful tools for shaping or changing your dog's behavior. Rewarding your dog for good behavior sounds pretty simple, and it is! But to practice the technique effectively, you must follow some basic guidelines, and there is NO ONE better to guide you on your journey than Rashaad! He is a natural (I watch him in awe) as my puppies listen to his every word. Not only is he a great trainer, but he is also an excellent teacher passing on his knowledge to me so I can continue the process. His passion for dogs, understanding of how positive reinforcement training works, and affordable prices enabled me to keep two rescue puppies. If you want quick results that last, call Rashaad!
