There was another female employee there and a male employee who just smiled at me which was comforting. Jennifer was very patient, kind and understanding as I unloaded a big black garbage bag with Liz Claiborne huge bath sheets (unopened) so the dogs would have something to lay on, lots of sealed up food from Dr. Marty. Dr. Marty's Essential Blend and Tilly's Treasures as a food topper. I brought rope toys, stuffed animals and one of Bella's favorite unopened toy; a stuffed gator. I used to sing the song to her, "gator face, you've got the cutest little gator face, no one is ever going to take your place, gator face, You are my whole wide world, you are my cutest girl. Gator face, you are cutest girl around, you are my pretty girl you are my whole wide world you my pretty gator face! Yes, Jennifer I sung the song to you at the shelter and now and am put it in print! -LOL (Yes, I do have my marbles.) God Bless all of you. Many, many thanks for the nice welcoming. Sincerely, Lisa C. :-D

I adopted my loving Dobie/Rottie mix, Lula, back in 2005 and she lived to be 16! I still have 2 cats adopted from them as well. I can't recommend this shelter more. There have been dogs in their care for YEARS until they finally found their homes and cats that were never adopted, but lived their entire life in the cat lounge. They were loved, warm in the winter, cool in the summer.

The office was very clean and waiting area was very comfortable…read more Office manager Angie was very friendly and very patient, and the staff, tech, and Dr. Nitzsche attended to my dog very quickly, and Dr. Nizsche immediately administered oxygen and IV fluid on my 15lb fur baby who had very extensive puncture wounds around his neck and bruises all over his belly being attacked by a friend's 100lb dog. The biggest tip: unlike VEG Palm Desert I went to, pushing expensive tests after tests after tests before render any treatment, VCA Yucca Valley never pushed ANY expensive tests whatsoever, recommended but totally let me decide, all the other hospitals are like hard sales reps kept on pushing thousands of dollars of tests before render any treatment to my dog.
