I don't understand all these negative reviews. My experience was nothing but positive. I saw a…read morelittle dog on a Facebook post. He and other poor dogs had the misfortune of being passed up by potential adopters. This doggy I saw was at the shelter for two weeks. So, he was scheduled to be euthanized that same day I saw his picture. The post had been up for 3 hours. I saw it 30 minutes before closing. I messaged the shelter through Facebook that I was interested in taking him home. I also called and left a message. 30 minutes came and went and the shelter closed. I thought that's it. Poor doggy. But then 5 minutes after the shelter closed, I get a message back. He's alive and well and I can have him! Yay! The shelter officer was very kind in her response, very glad I wanted to take this adorable doggy. She also let me know he had to be picked up the very next day, so I agreed. I told her I live 90 miles away. And she said that was no problem. They will adopt to people out of the area. It took me just under 2 hours to get there because of traffic and weather, but I kept calling to let them know I was on my way. And the officer was very kind and said it was fine. I arrived, and the little pup was immediately presented to me, I filled out the paperwork, paid the $15 + a $100 neuter deposit (they have no vet there so I had to make an appointment elsewhere and then later send a copy of the neuter certificate to get the deposit thrown out, which I did). I took the little pup to the Phil Scholz Surgery Center which had just opened in Pleasanton (amazing staff! Good prices) and the rest is history. So, I have nothing but good things to say. And from the pictures they post on Facebook, I can tell you that there are a lot of amazing doggies at that shelter. Yes, it's an "underpriviledged" shelter, but PLEASE don't let that deter you from going and saving a life. This pup I got is happy, healthy and wonderful. I drove 4 hours round trip for him and this whole experience was totally worth it. PLEASE SAVE A LIFE and go to this shelter--despite the negative reviews. Don't base your opinion on those. Call the shelter. Facebook message them. Get in touch. And SAVE A LIFE.

I adopted a sweet little dog named Mr. Chewy from Kate's Rescue in January. The communication was…read moregreat. My family was ready to adopt and put in an application for a different dog. And I messaged the person who ran the Instagram account. They said that dog was already meeting an adopter. But they had some new dogs she was about to post. They asked what I was looking for in a new family member. They found a perfect match for me! We meet Mr. Chewy who was being fostered by Brandy. And we fell in love immediately! They did a great job at matching him to our family. It took him a while to completely open up. But he is the sweetest, silliest dog and we couldn't be happier. Thank you sooo much!

I'm writing this review to encourage this rescue to do the right thing by their dogs. One in…read moreparticular that was born into the rescue by the name of Smartie was born with a congenital heart condition. The money was raised through a fundraiser started by Julia before she passed away last year. The new president is refusing to pay for his surgery even though it was raised specifically for his lifesaving surgery at UC Davis. She is stating the money was raised for all of the dogs. I'll share some pics below so you can see for yourselves. Please encourage the rescue now under Kate's Furreka Rescue to give Smartie what he needs. There is a video as well stating that this is specifically for Smarties surgery but I can't upload it to yelp. Please help Smartie get his surgery.

This has been my go to veterinary for about 7 years now. I am very grateful for Dr Flores and his…read morestaff. The hours of operation are very convenient for people that work during the day or people that live far like myself (2hrs away). I recently took my dog in after he was viciously attacked by three other stays. Flores wasted no time in treating my dog and took him in without an appointment. Flores truly does care for the well being of the animals that make it to his establishment. He will not nickel and dime you as other people have stated in the reviews. I've saved a lot of money going to this veterinary and I will continue to schedule any vet appointments here. One thing that might deter people is the dry/dark humor... this is one of the many reason I keep coming to this place. My girlfriend and I keep a running list of puns and dad jokes from Dr Flores. Thank you Dr Flores and staff. We are truly grateful for your care and dedication you have provided for our pets.

The dog didn't need teeth pulled, he just wanted her money!
