I don't know the past history, my experience with the rescue has been nothing but positive, with people who really care about the welfare of the animals in their care.

The owners were knowledgeable and since I was a first time pet owner, I received a much needed orientation on what to expect. I've had both of my girls for two years and they're in perfect health. My vet even complimented them for making sure the girls had the required vaccinations upon purchase. My only regret is I don't have space for more fur babies! I highly recommend B and C Kennels.

I am sharing my firsthand experience to help future buyers make an informed decision…read more I purchased my dog from this kennel on April 27, 2024. At the time of purchase, I was told I was receiving a healthy puppy. Within a few months, in September 2024, my dog began limping intermittently without any known injury. After veterinary evaluation, he was later diagnosed with luxating patella, which multiple veterinarians explained is a genetic orthopedic condition. This diagnosis was confirmed through examinations and X rays, and the condition has progressed from Grade 1-2 to Grade 3-4 despite his young age. Since adoption, I have spent over $10,000 on veterinary care related to this condition. This health issue was not disclosed to me prior to purchase, and I would have made a different decision had I been aware of the risk. In addition to the medical concerns, my dog has exhibited ongoing fear based behaviors since coming home, including anxiety and difficulty with handling, which required professional training support. When I raised concerns and shared veterinary documentation, I did not receive a resolution that addressed the medical issues. My experience left me feeling that important health risks were not adequately communicated prior to sale. I strongly encourage prospective buyers to ask detailed questions, request written proof of health testing, and carefully consider all information before purchasing.

I feel like he died a horrible death and all because my husband chose to go here instead of my vet. I have been crying for days. We brought Charlie here to get spayed then he was not doing well . Refusing to eat. We called them and they advised to try a syringe with baby food we did that and still not helping. That night he through up worms so we brought him in and they gave him more poison without nourishing him. His poor body could not handle it and he died on my husbands lap after taking his last breath. I will never forgive myself For the poor choices I made and I will never bring a pet here again. Use your own judgement but be cautious!!!

Echoing the other review...I made some quick calls to various sanctuaries and found only one that was available, friendly and helpful. As an aside...why is it so often that people who SO love animals are so prickly with actual human beings?? Unlike other sanctuaries, FVWC didn't "maybe we'll take it" me or scold me for caring for a bird. It was a bit of a trek for me to get there but I felt confident in going that what had been a huge investment of time for me to bring the bird this far, would be well continued by the staff here. They told me that after a brief period of observation, they'd house him in an outside cage with other birds to acclimate to the outdoors and learn from other birds. Then he'd be released into beautiful rural Elburn. Yea! I was happy that they took so such detailed notes of his journey thus far. While there I also was able to observe their staff and a few of the beasties in their care... A fawn having its healing leg rebandaged for the day and a turkey wandering around the house. lol Lotsa love for the animals there and bonus...humane treatment of the humans! :-D
