I recently found a stray little Chihuahua mix and AAR was able to step in and help. I had reached…read moreout to numerous no-kill Houston animal shelters and understandably they're completely overwhelmed and it was hard to even get a response. AAR not only responded quickly, but Sandy who I corresponded with was so caring and amazing. When I dropped the little dog off Sandy showed me the facility and it's beautiful! It definitely was a relief to know that the little guy would be in good hands. Sandy even said she'd be happy to update me on the dog's shelter journey up until adoption! I'm so grateful for rescues like AAR and the volunteers who work there because they are helping strays like the little guy I found have a chance at a new and better life. Highly recommend.

This was my first time visiting, and we were recommended this clinic & saw it had great reviews. I…read morehad an exam appointment for my Frenchie, Bandit, before we get him neutered. Dr. Lejeune felt comfortable making comments about his breathing and assessing him in a rather dismissive manner. From what I gathered, it sounds like she has something against bulldogs (as most vets typically do) but the commentary she was making was unprofessional and insensitive. I've owned a bulldog before, and already understand their stipulations, sensitivity to heat, and overall nature of the breed, but I felt very mansplained to by her educating me. If we didn't have to get him neutered, we probably will not be back. Otherwise, the pricing is good and the other staff members were friendly but Dr. Lejeune left a bad taste to me.

Communication with staff was great. Kimberly endured my endless questions with kindness. Transport company was also great. Our baby girl arrived yesterday in happy and healthy condition, her attitude was jubilant. We were worried the transport would traumatize her (33 hours in a truck). She is bounding around as we speak, squeaking her new toy, digesting the best treats we could buy and make. Corridor did a great job with Prudence and if you are thinking of adopting from them, do so. They do great work.

On April 11, I adopted a very sweet brown tabby cat through the organization, PetsAlive. I named…read moremy new cat Theodore and was told that Theo had been found on the streets and had recently had scabies, eye surgery and skin issues - all of which seemed to be healing nicely. I was never told of his extensive dental disease or that he had feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). I noticed that Theo's energy level seemed a little low, but he was eating very well and didn't display any signs of digestive issues. I DID notice that his breath was very smelly, so I took him to my veterinarian. The long story made short is that Theo will have to have several teeth extracted and his length and quality of life could be affected because bloodwork showed that he is positive for FIV. I have requested that PetsAlive take care of the dental issues Theo has since I can't afford thousands of dollars for teeth to be extracted. My concern of permanently returning Theo to PetsAlive is that his cycle of being an unwanted rescue cat will continue. His life could be one of going from adoption site to adoption site and never being adopted because of his bad teeth and FIV diagnosis. Please be aware that, according to my veterinarian, there are several no kill shelters that DON'T test animals for FIV or leukemia. Before you adopt an animal, please ask if the animal has been thoroughly tested for diseases that could affect the animal's health and wellbeing.
