HOW did that happen in 10 minutes? Apparently they put my dog in a small room with a vet and another dog and they said he didn't do well...of course not! He doesn't know any of you and was scared! I immediately went to find another company and found Animal Friends. I told them of this situation and they said to bring my dog down to meet them, he did fine as I expected and my dog has now been happily boarded for 2.5 years. I travel extensively and appreciate that it's a family owned business that actually cares about my dog. They know I travel and accomodate me too because some nights I come in late and picking up the next day is better for me. If you are looking for a great dog boarding company that will treat you and your dog like family, I totally recommend Animal Friends.

I thought that maybe my experience with them was different, or unique in some way. I wanted to give…read morethem the benefit of the doubt. Then I found these Yelp reviews and I want to add my voice to the STAY AWAY faction. I adopted an 8-week-old puppy from them in September of 2017. Two days after I got her home, she was extremely lethargic, not eating, having breathing problems. After a number of tests, we discovered she had multi-drug resistant bacterial pneumonia. She had kennel cough (bordetella), pseudomonas, and a multi-drug resistant strain of e.coli in her lungs. I thought they might want to know, because she had brothers. The owner sounded concerned at first and told me she contacted the owners of the other puppies and none of them were sick. Her concern soon dissipated when I told her I had paid $1,500 in vet bills. Haha, drop in the champagne bucket, she got sick in September and was officially pneumonia-free at the end of February. All told, the vet bills came in at around $7,000. At the time I adopted my puppy, they had taken in a number of dogs stranded from Hurricane Harvey, the owner told me a lot of them had "colds," but nothing more serious. I think, due to legal reasons, the veterinarians would not confirm that she was sick when she left the shelter. I don't know where else she would get her lungs all full of bacteria in the 36 hours she was in my house. She is a wonderful dog, and we do not regret spending the money on her, but it concerns me about other dogs that were there. The e.coli was only susceptible to one very expensive injectable antibiotic. I really hope her brothers were okay, and she wasn't just trying to cover her butt. I would have been able to save them considerable expense with the information I had. Email exchanges after this took place were very rude and unprofessional. My husband is a veteran and I thought it would be nice to support a veteran-owned shelter. The shelter building looks run-down, but I was only allowed at the front desk and directed to the runs in back to meet my puppy, so I have no information about how hygienic things are behind-the-scenes. We found this shelter on Petfinder, I would suggest anywhere but here
