The owner accused my mother of animal abuse/neglect, lectured and threatened her, then called the dog warden. The dog warden then detained, yes, detained my mother for 45 minutes threatening and accusing, all the while he and the owner of D and G withholding the dog from her. At one point my mother said she was on medications for health issues including high blood pressure and to please stop attacking her, and this owner and the warden could have cared less and continued their attack on my mother. His ears were infected; my mother did not know this. She had had him to the vet in March for treatment. Then she was taking him to this "business" to be groomed and cared for....is that neglect?? They finally forced my mother to sign a paper saying she would bring the dog BACK TO THIS PLACE in six weeks so she could finally have her dog back. For the record, there is NO WAY my mother or ANYONE we know will ever step foot near this place again. This was a terrible, terrible and traumatic experience for my mother and was handled TOTALLY inappropriately and unprofessionally. NO ONE loves animals more than my parents; they saved this stray dog's life in the first place!!! So unless you want to risk being judged and accused of animal abuse, don't EVER step foot in this place.

I rescued an 11-month German Shorthaired Pointer who had a very high prey drive and absolutely no recall. My GSP is now a reliable trail and beach dog who responds to a code word ("Come" no longer worked when we met Elissa.) and/or whistle. Elissa worked with us 4-5 times, but mostly she gave me the understanding, skills and followup exercises to work with my dog myself. She explained behavior theory behind the exercises, showed me how to properly carry them out. She followed each training session with detailed notes and other resources. Success wasn't instant, but steady. With Elissa's help, I have a trustworthy companion whom I feel comfortable letting off leash.

I started as a foster with PORT in their early days of conception and fostered with them for…read moreseveral months before they decided to completely ghost me. I ran into a situation where I needed some work done at my home, and I could not continue to foster the FOURTEEN foster pets that I had through them at the time. Rather than work with me, help me, and have empathy for my situation, I experienced a lot of pushback, and negative reactions to needing a break from fostering. My phone calls and texts were not being returned. When they were returned, I was met with attitude and a complete lack of understanding or compassion. After much resistance, they finally took the fosters back. They don't supply their fosters with food or supplies as they claim. Not once was I given any supplies for the dozens of animals that I fostered through them, even when I expressed that the puppies I was fostering were going through more food than I could manage. They also don't spay and neuter most of their animals before adoption. Now that I am back in my home, neither Regan, nor Jaime, (the founders of PORT), will return my messages asking about the well-being of my former fosters. If you bend over and break your back for them, you'll be great. But God forbid life happens and you find yourself unable to help, because you then mean NOTHING to them. Proceed with caution should you decide to do any sort of business with PORT. Don't expect a lot of help. Definitely don't expect compassion and empathy when life happens. Edit in response to PORT's reply: Port requires a minimum of 5 days notice for return, except in cases of emergency. I had an emergency. I explained this to you guys over and over and over again and your response was, "that must be tough." I had a dog through you that was being aggressive with a child. But you guys didn't consider a threat to someone's safety an emergency and were of no help. In some cases, I waited more than 5 days for you to help; I waited literally weeks! Not to mention that that dog was pregnant, and when I took her, you never advised me that that was a possibility. So I ended up with eight puppies, when I agreed to one. It was never "clear to you" that our foster relationship had come to its conclusion and that I wished to step away. I quite literally told you that once I was back in my home, I would take the animals back if they still needed placement. I notified you on July 10th that I could not handle all of the puppies. You did not take them until July 18th, and that was only after I showed up to get their shots and microchips, and had to PLEAD with you to help me. I notified both of you that Rusty was a safety risk, and you literally did not care. Even after notifying you of the unsafe circumstances, it took you two days to take her, and that was only after I refused to give you any more leeway. That was also after I had notified you on July 10th that I could not handle all of the animals that I had. You did not take Rusty back until July 31st. I let you know on July 28th that I was having trouble getting the kittens adopted. I notified you on August 4th that we needed to move the kittens. You did not take them until August 15th. As for the spay/neuter, it's irresponsible for a rescue not to spay and neuter before adoption, regardless of any contract. I also asked, several times, about getting my fosters fixed, and you never followed through. Don't gaslight me. You did enough of that when I was actually fostering with you.

Our poor girl came home with diarrhea so bad it was like water. We brought her home on a Saturday after driving over 6 hours (one way) to get her. We waited it out to see if the runs were from nerves, and on Monday we brought her to the vet. After lab tests on her stool came back, she was diagnosed with Giardia and Coccidia. Quite the parasite burden. At the vet they also informed us she is about 3x under weight for her age, and unusually petite. Weighing only 4.14lbs for an 8 week old GSD. (So extremely malnourished or maybe not even pure bread GSD) We've had her for a week and we've already spent $350 on vet bills and this isn't even for any vaccinations, just making up for her extremely poor health. This breeder appears to be loving and caring for these dogs, but in truth is nothing but a glorified puppy mill. Extremely disappointed and sad for this puppy. Please, please if you are reading this and considering buying from them; just know your dog may have a lifetime of health issues that will surely cost you from the moment you bring your pet home. And I must add the "paperwork" for this dog is sketchy at best. I have bough from other breeders before - and received professional paperwork. This paperwork is just a picture of a picture on a computer screen! Total rip off.
