    I adopted my sweet Muffin (then named Faye) in May 2015 from Halfway Home Rescue (HHR). Muffin is the delight of my life!!! HHR saved her life when she was a baby kitten and provided her with much needed medical care. After adoption, I was provided with Muffin's history (as HHR knew it) so that Muffin's new vet could continue with excellent medical care given a permanent condition. Muffin thrives and loves her fun magnificent life thanks to HHR amazing rescue team, vets, and constant care providers. Their mission is an endless one of saving animal lives, providing the best care, love, and nurturing that they can to make them healthy and happy, and to find each animal in their care loving and safe furr-ever homes. The STELLAR dedication of HHR and everyone involved with this organization is BEYOND AMAZING in grand ways. On a note about why some people may think it is difficult to adopt a pet, please understand that animal rescue organizations are faced with finding FOREVER homes where they think the animal and home are a good to best match. Rescuers take this task very seriously because they are Guardians of the animals in their care. It can be overwhelming given all involved with rescuing animals. Please be kind and understanding to animal rescuers. Their work is exhausting and goes mostly unrewarded. If you see an animal rescue organization struggling, they are in need. The BEST way to respond to this need - if you truly care about the animals - respond in a way that will benefit those animals directly by offering to volunteer and/or by making a monetary donation. Also, you can reach out to the organization and ask questions that concern you ... the answers might surprise you and give you knowledge you did not have to understand what the real situation is. Ask how you can best help - maybe you love walking dogs or cuddling kittens. Maybe you can spare coffee money for a week and make a contribution. Maybe you enjoy social media and can create a great post to let people know that an animal rescue organization needs everyone's help and share the link for that organization where people can signup to volunteer or donate cash. This is an awesome rescue organization, please become educated before lashing out. Negative reviews ultimately hurt the animals being cared for by individuals who love, protect, and care for them when the world does not. Thanks so much Halfway Home Rescue for all you do!! A huge shout out of gratitude for all animal rescuers!!! XOXOXO

    I really wish I could give this place 0 stars. It's appalling how difficult this staff makes adopting an animal and how belittling and rude they are. I moved into my own apartment and started a new job 8 months ago. When I moved, I took my childhood cat with me. I explained to them when I lived with my parents, they always stated that unless the cat seemed in bad health or their was a behavioral change, they didn't need to go to the vet every year. That being said, once I moved out I got my cat set up with an appointment as soon as available with a new vet in May. When my boyfriend and I decided we wanted to adopt, I knew May would be too far away as Jerry (my cat) would need to be updated on vaccines ASAP. Thankfully our vet is a family member and when we told her this, she made an exception and stayed after hours last week to get Jerry in. Again, I explained all this and they still denied my application stating that I "only brought Jerry to the vet to bring another animal home". It's very clear they heard what they wanted to in my previous emails and dismissed the fact that I had already had an appt set up prior to this application. I'm not one to usually write reviews but it makes me sad to think about all the cats that are going to stay in that shelter longer or not get adopted because of their disrespect and holier-than-thou attitude. (p.s our vet even told us that cats don't need to go to the vet every year!!). I really hope they get their act together and gain some customer service skills for the animals sake.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. This is an email from this shelter--everything you're reading on yelp (I see they have quite the reputation) is incredibly true. The person I spoke with was extremely rude and belittling. Some background: I was looking for a specific kind of cat with a specific personality, I had been APPROVED FOR ADOPTION ALREADY. I didn't see on this cat's bio that she had been listed as not being good with other cats (on petfinder this was not the case as they claimed she'd do well with others). I'll totally own up to having missed that in her bio--100%. But this is what the shelter said to me. Totally inappropriate and obviously they don't care what happens to the cats as I had already been approved. Can't really believe this even happened--is the goal not to help homeless cats? Very very strange. I don't think I've ever heard of a rescue turning someone away because they misread a cat bio??? I'm confused.

My friend, who is an artist, introduced me to this place, and she says that CAW has a strong reputation in the art community. I have zero art background, but I have taken drawing and photography classes here. All the teachers were friendly, enthusiastic, and well-prepared. I felt like I learned a lot and that the teachers were encouraging of beginners. They have a huge variety of classes here including cool stuff I'd like to try like metal sculpture. There are both short workshops (good for artists who are already well-versed in a topic but want to pick up a new technique) and longer classes. The cost is a little pricey, but well-worth it in my opinion. They also have an exhibition space and show really nice artwork there. This past summer, my friend and I went to see a juried show there and it was very good. The Creative Arts Workshop is a fantastic place to learn art and join an artistic community. I can't recommend it highly enough.

In the Perspective Drawing of Buildings and Architecture workshop, Eric March introduced strategies, gave students a chance to experiment, and consulted individually to discuss what works for each person and how to expand skills. His presentation was clear, and his comments were gentle and specific. For me, as a non-professional with some drawing experience, the class was engaging and informative - a delightful way to spend two afternoons. Being able to see and draw things from different perspectives makes drawing more fun and satisfying. As someone who ordinarily is more interested in life than buildings, I also realized the advantage of starting with boxier shapes, knowing that I can apply the same techniques to the animate world now that I have seen how they work. I highly recommend the workshop and other opportunities to work with Eric March.
