They truly are concerned about pets. I have so much positive to say about Rhonda and Second Chance…read morefor Homeless Pets. I've adopted three kittens from them. The kittens were always very well taken care of and you could tell that they came from quality foster homes. Very reasonable, adoption fees, spayed, and neutered and current on vaccinations. I've also had the pleasure of fostering kittens with Second Chance. The owner does what she says and supplies you with everything you need to take care of the animals. The commitments are not long and she is able to take the animals back as promised and on time. I recently was in there, and there was a woman trying to adopt a dog. It was obvious the woman did not have a home. The owner was not going to allow the woman to adopt the dog because she did not have a safe place for the dog to live. Although the woman was very upset, the owner was very professional and kind as she explained that she could not in good conscience adopt a pet out that didn't have a safe environment. percent she is concerned about the welfare of the animals. I will always refer people to them whether they're in the market to adopt an animal or if they're interested in fostering or volunteering there it's a great place with low overhead and a lot lot of love.!

The people who run this organization are incredibly charitable and put so much effort into these dogs and cats. I recently visited and they had three dogs available. They were happily running around inside their enclosures outside under the shade of the tree. There were lots of other dog runs/kennels that looks much smaller, but also like they were no longer in use. There were not a lot of animals to choose from-but maybe that's because they all found homes or were in foster homes when we visited. Hopefully that's the case-and they are getting closer to their goal of No More Homeless Pets!

What a cute little farm!!!…read more My husband and I wanted to take our 1 year old son to see some farm animals up close since we were in the area last Friday. We didn't have a lot of expectations given the reviews on here but we figured we check it out for our son. We were pleasantly surprised how much fun we had! When we walked in, we were greeted by the nice staff and volunteers who told us the $4 entrance fee goes towards donations to help feed, house, and care for all the animals. We also learned that they're rescue animals. They have a variety of farm animals to feed and pet including a donkey, ponies, sheep, goats, cows, and chickens. They offer a punch card when you purchase grains to feed the animals too. Our son had so much fun with the animals. He smiled and laughed in excitement which put a huge smile on our face. Keep in mind that the farm is small but they are working hard to expand for everyone of all ages. There's a cute little rollercoaster and pony carousel. They even have a small Wild West theme town for the kids to play on. We had a great time on the farm. Definitely recommend checking this place out. We will be sure to come back again.

The Sharing Place allows a place of no judgement where people can come to to share their memories of these people. I came here for a tour last Saturday, and it was amazing. This is such a nice tidy location and the woman who helped give us a tour was amazing. She really let us better understand all the creative thinking that goes into helping the individuals who come here. They start off by separating the children from the adult and their approaches for both group are completely different. There's just so much good that goes on to create an environment to help everyone. Some people have been here for years because it really helps deal with the passing of a dead one, and often times, the first year after a loss, the individual is still trying to figure it out and deal with the funeral and what not. The second and third year is when the pain really hits often times--and The Sharing Place is just the perfect place for everyone who shares this loss. Important info in case you or someone you know is interested in participating: Open September to May Twice a month there are meetings Families are asked to pledge whatever they can afford on a monthly basis, and it is placed in an envelope and remains completely anonymous. Whether it's $5 or $200 a month, any bit helps with the cost of running this place. If you want to volunteer, please do! They also take donations, so please do give if you can!

This one is similar in mission and purpose-look them up to see what local charity they provide-they do good things! The store is setup more like a boutique than a thrift store, which makes the experience feel a little nicer than just bargain hunting. Whomever is in charge of dressing the mannequins and putting out the displays does a fantastic job-it really sets the tone of the store and looks incredible! The inventory might be a little less than some of the other second hand stores in the game, but I think they might cater to an older, more classy audience than folks who want to look like they buy their clothes at a thrift store. (Nothing wrong with either group!) Based on the clientele I saw here, this is the perfect place to bring your mom or grandma or to get a lovely dress for a tea party with a matching hat. Come to think of it, the Kentucky Derby is coming up soon-I'll bookmark this as a place to return!

On top of doing regular pick ups for homes in the neighborhood, they also do prearranged pickups - just give them a call!
