Got my sweet girl from here about a month ago. She has changed my life completely, I didn't know I…read morecould feel happiness like this before. Thank you Five Acres for taking such good care of her. The cats here are very well taken care of, happy and healthy. You can tell the employees here truly do care and love for the animals like they're their own. We came in "just to look" and walked away with our baby within 45 minutes. The adoption process is very smooth, and I love how you're able to interact with all of the cats to meet them before making your decision. Such a wonderful place.

Since moving here, I've been hoping to find an organization to volunteer with. I decided to come…read morehere and check it out. I was impressed by the cleanliness and overall health of the animals. The cat house is amazing, and I loved how many cats were able to free roam around the offices and large room. So, I decided to start volunteering. In the couple of weeks I've been volunteering, I've been impressed with the staff. They work so hard and are so helpful to anyone who comes in. They genuinely care about the work they do and every single fur ball they meet. The place is so clean without having that whole medicinal and cold vibe you see in some shelters. The cats are generally happy and have all sorts of enrichment opportunities at their disposal. Five Acres also does a ton of services for the community. There's an entire area and staff dedicated solely to helping pet owners in need. That's awesome for anyone struggling to get back on their feet.

Finally, a success story! I've been eagerly awaiting the day I found a dog and would take one home…read more I checked the website before I left to make sure the one I wanted to see was still there and he was. It had been several months since I was here last and I couldn't remember what the protocol was for visits. Once I got inside, the man at the desk told me I could look around and then fill out a form about the one(s) I was interested in. When you first walk in, the cat wing is on left near the front desk; there's two hallways with dogs on the left, and the puppies and critters are on the right. I heard straight to the puppies, took one peek at him, and immediately went to the front to fill out the paperwork. After what seemed like a while, I was granted my visit. He took to me right away and I knew I was going to take him home. After the woman came here in to finalize the paperwork, she told me to go to the front to finalize his pet insurance. Things got a little chaotic because as I was in the middle of finishing his insurance, I was called by the other side to finalize his paperwork. We got everything straightened out, but it'd be nice if a better system were in place. Regardless, I finally got the puppy I wanted and was pleased with the service.

This was my first visit. Like most doctors, dentist or any other medical appointment, I had about a…read more20-minute wait to be seen. Once in the examine, the Vet assistant asked what the reason for the visit was. I explained that we were recommended by a friend to try Animal Talk and Dr. Lucas. I mentioned that we needed the yearly shots for our dog. She asked if we had her previous medical records, and I said I have them at home and can go get them. She said she could call our previous Vet and have them faxed over. This saved me a trip back home to get the records. She went over the recommended and required shots needed and said Dr. Lucas would administer those shots. It was about 15 minutes before Dr. Lucas came in the exam room and immediately apologized for the wait. He went on to explain that sometimes different procedures took longer than expected. I told him it wasn't a problem and showed me that he took his time and didn't rush through each animal. He explained the different procedures he was about to perform and proceed to give the necessary shots. He explained different aspects of my dog and what to look out for and what to expect. I was there about an hour, from start to finish. Overall, very pleased with my first visit. I like the idea of the time he spent with my dog. I compare the time it took to going to McDonalds or going to a steak house. You will both be fed at both, but I would feel more satisfied with the steak house when I got done. Finally, the bill for all the shots and office visit was half of what I have previously paid for the same services.

She even got on the floor w/ him. She was so nice to him even after he lunged at her going in for a snap, thank god for the Bakersfield muzzle! We also have a dachshund who we brought in for a small wound between his toes. She also uncovered the start of an ear infection. She brought in a lick mat w/peanut butter. She was very gentle and didn't push, backed off when they showed signs of stress. Before we left both were wagging their tails and enjoying the lick mat! We left w/ meds for both the infections and some sedatives to help us w/ the much dreaded nail trims. So far, best, nicest Vet I've found in 7 yrs. Reasonable prices as well. The dachshund's last ear infection, we were charged nearly $700 by another vet who had a mean bedside manner and it was a traumatic not to mention expensive ordeal. Both dogs got exams, antibiotic for the paw wound, ear flush, ear drops, anti-inflammitories, as well as two sedatives, all for abt $300. I think we've found our permanent vet. And She's young, so I don't think she'll be retiring any time too soon. I feel really lucky to have found this gem of a doc for our fur babies. Oh, and she did the dachshunds anal glads for us w/ out so much as a flinch or grimace. She's got mad skills and is so nice! And God forbid we ever have to put one down, she'll make a house call so he doesn't have to die in a scary vet office. She's a keeper for sure.
