I met Candace Giles there, who was very thorough in her background search of me, because I was adopting one of her fosters. I am glad she did. After speaking with Candace, I was touched by the countless hours and work that her organization puts in, to help animals in need. So, my husband and I began to foster for CCR. We also became "failed fosters" to Xena and Aries. A pair of GS siblings found underneath a bridge in Nashville, that were taped inside a box. The stories of these poor pups is heart-breaking! It was truly an eye-opening experience. You have no idea how hard it is to care for these (mostly dogs) for weeks and then having to give them back, because they are on transport to their forever homes. There are vet visits, sitting hours, acclimation, socialization, basic skills training. So much that the potential adopters do not see, goes on behind the scene. CCR is a wonderful organization, with many volunteers. Our Skeeter is going strong at almost 15! I would definitely adopt from Candace again, or even foster, if we still lived in TN.

She did not give any resources just told me " we are super full right now. It's a major problem. You can send me pictures if you want." Horrible service.

Right now, they do a lot to rescue animals and educate individuals on "fixing" their pets. They also do a lot in giving a voice to animals when it comes to legislation about animal cruelty. Once they get the proper funding to setup their adoption center/ sanctuary, they will be able to grow further as an organization meaning they can rescue more animals- parter with Animal Rescue Corps and the Humane Society of the United States with hoarding or puppy mills cases and do even more with other things like maybe having a spay/neuter clinic. Big things are on the horizon for this nonprofit! I haven't done much with animal rescue through them, but I've helped with fundraising in the hope that they can set up their sanctuary soon!

Unfortunately, he has a 35 minute commute which meant he would be gone for 10 hours a day. We didn't want to board them since he'd be there overnight but don't have anyone we felt we could impose on to walk the boys. Enter Google.... which lead me to Critter Care's website. I called Kimberly and explained the situation. We made an appointment for the next morning. As soon as we met I felt comfortable with her being in our home and taking care of our dogs. We've never had a pet sitter before and I wasn't sure how I'd feel allowing someone to come in our home without us being there. She put my mind at ease and was very attentive and overall has a calming nature. The dogs liked her right away, which I took as a really great sign! Since we have pugs, we didn't necessarily need them walked. What they really need during the day is a potty break and loads of attention. I could tell this wouldn't be a problem with Kimberly as she'd owned a pug in the past and knows their dispositions. We initially elected to have her come once a day, though she typically will come by twice. Once we realized how long the dogs would be alone, I called her to see if it would be possible to change plans. She was very flexible and accommodating despite the fact we changed times on her a few times! She's quick to respond to phone calls or texts if you don't get her on the first try. We are just so thankful to have found Critter Care and were pleasantly surprised at our last minute arrangements. If you live in the area, there's no other choice you should be considering. Her prices are very reasonable and it's so nice to be able to have your pets cared for at home where they are comfortable. Kimberly is the greatest and we will definitely be using her again.

The dogs were fed and exercised in the back yard for probably 20-30min. We did have one experience when one of the pups pooped in the house (which is not normal), but then again they are used to going out 5 or 6 times every day. As far as how she treated us as customers, that could have been better. She sends text messages letting you know that the dogs have been out, which is nice, but if you do not text her back she has a bit of a come apart. She also requires that you let her know when you've made it home. I thought that was a little weird, but I could understand that she was looking out for the dogs best interest. In my experience she will come out on short notice, but she let me know it was inconvenient and that I "should do a better job of giving her notice."... okay, point taken... I also noticed when I got home that our furniture would be moved ever so slightly. Like the recliner or the rug would just be pulled away from where it was 1 or 2 feet from where we had it. I thought that was a bit weird too, but the dogs were okay so it wasn't a huge deal. We finally had an instance a couple of weeks ago where my wife and I were off to North Carolina to get married. This time we brought the dogs with us, but I have a couple sugar gliders that needed some attention while we were gone. I called her on the way to North Carolina just to go over the instructions I left her. While on the phone with her I realized that I had forgotten to leave her a check. I asked her if I could drop her check off in her mailbox on our way home in a few days. She agreed with not issue. On the day we came back from our wedding, she began blowing up my phone demanding that we bring her check to her as soon as we got home. She sent condescending texts explaining that we "should have known better", asking repeatedly when we would be home. I wish I saved the texts she sent, they were unprofessional and a little crazy. Those texts came as a shock to me because we had used her services probably 5 or 6 times in a 8 week period. We paid every time. We were not knew customers, yet she treated us like we were her misbehaved children all over a $51 check... By the way we did pay her as soon as we got home, exactly as we said we would. I wish she would have just said "no" when I told her that we forgot the check, because we could have easily just gotten a friend to take care of it. Over all, if you need Kimberly's service on short notice, I would give her a call. If you need someone long term, keep searching!

Kept calling me the wrong name, shaming me because I basically wouldn't spend an additional $1K for dental-I don't trust you enough to put any animal under. Already spent $300 and wish I had spent it at another vet. Also, charged me for each dog for office-which no other vet ever did. It is an integrity call for me.

Priest Lake has been gracious about fitting me in when symptoms arise and managing when I've been late due to traffic on I-440. The office space is decorated for each holiday, and you can feel that this practice is a priority for all staff. Some of the staff speak Spanish. The payment estimates that they show during the appointment are clear, and Dr. Kopp writes extremely detailed notes to take home about your visit. A UT grad, Dr. Kopp is one of few rabbit specialists in the whole state. Even though my rabbit comes in with eye issues, they do a full exam when he comes in (takes weight, looks at teeth, palpates, etc). All of the techs and Dr. Kopp speak to and handle my bunny with care. Dr. Kopp ensures all pet parents fully understand with the care given and is happy to answer questions. Their website explains well the approach for rabbits specifically. The care is relatively pricey since I have an exotic pet, but I do think Priest Lake gives you what you pay for. This isn't a no-frills practice. Pet parents are welcome to a beverage while you wait. Priest Lake is not a 24/7 emergency vet, so definitely call for an appointment. I've been happy with their hours which are usually until 7pm which suits folks with typical 8-5 schedules.
