A similar experience to other potential adopters, this rescue is a piece of work (substitute…read moreanother 4 letter word). Saw a dog they had listed on Petfinder, the generalities matched well and contacted them and was told to fill out a lengthy application, then they'd get back to me in 2-3 weeks. That seems fairly long, but we liked the dog. An "adoption counselor" got back with us around 2 weeks, and during the interview revealed they selected a "pre-approved adopter" for the dog (which is still at time of writing listed as available on Petfinder to draw more applications). What? Why post the dog as available if they're going to select who to give him to out of their prior applicants? These people are controlling, manipulative and abusive; wanting to control what you get, manipulating via bait & switch, and generally abusing by wasting your time and crushing your hopes. They insist on a meet & greet, which is only practical if you're in the area, and not a guarantee of compatibility long term with your existing dogs. Once your all home, dynamics can change especially if the owner is not the leader of the pack. We've adopted a number of dogs over the years, at least half were from out of state and flown or transported, and of the local adoptions only twice was there any meeting of the dogs prior to adopting. They won't work with another rescue in vetting your home, likely because they'd catch onto whatever racket they're running and report them to PACFA or applicable Maryland agency. They won't work with adoption transport services though many excellent ones exist precisely to facilitate getting dogs to good homes that are far away. They're too lazy to take a dog to an arranged transport at an airport even though the adopter is willing to pay all costs and donate extra for the time taken (which would then buy more necessities for the rescue). I'm sure this particular coven of witches thinks they're doing right by the dog, but they're turning off adopters by the score. Deal with enough sham rescues like this in a row and you'll be going to PuppyMart breeders for a companion because some controlling crones won't let you adopt the dogs you want.

I have only used 2 mobile groomers ( one in MD and one in OH) our previous groomer was not available at any time during our visit so I contacted a few groomers and Aimee sounded honest and capable after sending her pics of Blake. When she arrived, I felt rushed by her as I started to say what my expectations were.... especially that I did NOT want him cut close. I like him long. I brush Blake everyday and I have never been told he had any matting whatsoever. Aimee literally scalped my pup to being able to see his skin. she said he had a lot of matting. NOT! I brushed him the morning she arrived. Aimee did what was "easy" for her and at the cost of $150 and $30 tip, how disappointing. I guess she did not care since we would only use her a few tines a year. I "know" it's only hair and it will grow back. just a warning, Aimee seemed pleasant and kind but she did not listen to my desires. She was rushed or she didn't care. Either way, don't use her services if you care what your pup looks like. Blake looks like a bobblehead with little body hair and a big attached head. So disappointed

My 16 year old pup and my 13 year old would never get groomed if it wasn't for her, I refuse to take them to a groomer that leaves them in cages for hours before and after they are groomed. She understands the fear and anxiety that my dogs have with grooming and she does amazing with them. Our 16 year old is gone now but I can't wait for the first grooming with our 2 new pups. I don't fear them being groomed by her but I do fear they will be a lot to handle, they are wild and crazy. So bottom line if your looking for a fantastic groomer Aimee is your girl.
