This shelter is one of the worst when it comes to honesty, communication, and compassion toward…read moreboth animals and owners. My situation involved my dog being seized after running at large and biting someone. I will fully admit that my dog was aggressive toward people he didn't know because of trauma from his previous home. As heartbreaking as it was, my family eventually made the difficult decision to euthanize him. What made this situation unbearable was the way the shelter handled it. After multiple phone calls with staff and supervisor Dani, we were clearly told that we could come Saturday to sign the papers, euthanize him, and pick him up afterward. Because he was deeply loved, we visited him several times beforehand. The day before our scheduled date, we came to see him again, discuss giving him a last meal, and sign any paperwork they needed. Instead, we were informed they had already euthanized him without notifying us -- after specifically telling us Saturday was the agreed date. Their excuse was "miscommunication." One explanation was that because my sister visited him Thursday, they assumed it was okay to proceed. Another excuse was that a supervisor approved it because he was considered "a danger." Yet when we directly asked if he was a danger to staff, we were told no, and that they "deal with stuff like this all the time." Even while visiting him, I personally watched staff interact with him physically, and he responded calmly and familiarly with them. The entire situation was handled with a complete lack of professionalism, compassion, and communication. It honestly feels like they knew they could get away with handling things this way because of the circumstances surrounding my dog. No matter the situation, owners deserve honesty, communication, and the chance to properly say goodbye to an animal they loved.

I had the opportunity to volunteer with Majestic Wings Rescue (MWR) after donating some bird…read moresupplies in November 2025. I've volunteered at dog rescues in the past (fostered 28 dogs), but this was my first experience with a bird rescue. Audrey and Tina were so patient with all of my questions. Audrey even gave me advice that's helped me with my ducorp's cockatoo, Silly Billy. I had no intention of adopting, but a little goffin's cockatoo, Coco(nut) connected with me. In January 2026, I formally adopted her. Audrey has been helpful with any follow-up questions I've had. Like every rescue I've ever dealt with, the adoption paperwork clearly states adoption expectations, e.g., no breeding, trying to make money off of, or giving the bird to someone else. I felt like the adoption fee was fair, and I know that money is being used to help cover food, vet fees, etc. for the birds. Heck, a routine check up at the avian vet for Silly Billy costs me more than Coco(nut)'s adoption fee. If anyone tells you birds aren't expensive, they're not taking care of their birds. Those little pterodactyl's vet visits cost a fortune even when it's a routine checkup! If you want a bird, I suggest getting one from a rescue. Volunteering at a rescue gives you a healthy perspective on what it takes to care for a bird. Find a bird that connects with you and is a good fit. That bird is likely going to be a different bird than what you originally wanted.

She ensures they are vet checked, disease checked, DNA sexed and works with them on diet and training until she finds the right home. I have referred several potential adopters to her due to the level of support she provides. It is a small rescue with big goals and a lot of birds no other rescue would take. She loves them all, the good, bad, ugly, bites, screamers, plucked, ill, old, young, small to extra large. She puts literally her entire life into the rescue. She also stands up for the birds if they are adopted out and it turns out the adopters were dishonest or sold the bird elsewhere against the adoption agreement. ​​

To be clear I left Griffin Animal Hospital over a year ago and could not be happier to have done…read moreso. I am writing this review now because I went to my new vet(Cat Clinic) the other day and had a wonderful, easy, affordable experience, and it made me write this review. First issue is the never ending "required tests" stool tests, bloodwork, and other things. They make you do them or at least made me every single time I came in regardless of the issue. This of course ran the bill up every single time to around $600-$700 dollars. Second issue was Dr. Griffins attitude. She couldn't be more abrasive if she tried and I always tried to be nice but I always got the feeling she seemed to feel like she was wasting her time talking to me. She was condescending and definitely didn't respect or care about my time. The final straw was when she said she tried to have me bring in another stool sample only two weeks after a prior visit just to get anxiety meds. It's literally 30% a scam to earn extra money. Lastly for example the Cat Clinic for a yearly check up was only $250 with two vaccines, Flea Meds for 2 cats, and anxiety meds. Which is the primary reason for writing this as I do feel I have been overcharged by Griffin for years. The Cat Clinic has never asked for a stool sample and they ask if I'd like to bloodwork which they don't recommend unless there's a concern. Goodluck with Griffin Animal Hospital if you don't believe me.
