Absolutely false as I took to the vet because she wasn't going. Vet told me she had kidney failure and cancer and recommended putting her out of pain. I told little victories this and said please check with the vet. They wouldn't go to the trouble and denied me. Be wary of this misinformation clinic that would rather an animal suffered instead of doing what's right. I love animals. Stop donating to this place if you are. Thanks Pete Anderson

While it's doubtful that many Yelpers will…read morefind this rescue central or easily reachable, a journey down the back roads of Ona and Barboursville will be well worth the trip - if you're an animal lover. With literally hundreds of dogs and cats, Little Victories is one of the most amazing, hectic, and sometimes overwhelming nonprofit rescues I've seen. Their mission is clear, their animals loving, and their volunteers impressively devoted. As with any rescue, I would recommend doing thorough background checks on the history of any animal you adopt. While these workers and volunteers are compassionate, they don't always have up-to-date information on their animals (you'll need to contact someone in charge or a local veterinarian to confirm details). The only reason I stress this point is because even the best of animals have certain temperaments and needs - usually based on their history - and thus, it is always wise to have the most information when adopting. If you just want to get involved on the volunteer side of things, Little Victories is a wonderful haven for these animals, all of whom seem to understand their situation and the hope the place provides them. They are fed well, walked frequently, and socialized as best as possible given the strange limitations of using a converted home as a shelter. A visit to the so-called "Cathouse" is a must: to see a whole, one-story bungalow overrun with cats is not a sight easily forgotten.

Between my friends, family, and myself, we have adopted a few times from Sierra's Haven. Here's how…read morethe experience went: Puppy: perfect condition, no complaints and great dog. "2" year old dog: This dog was promoted to be ye o years old in perfect condition with no health issues. After adoption, we find out that she has lymes disease and she was actually five years old. They were not clear about any of this and I felt extremely scammed out of my money. After calling, they basically said they knew about it and now it was our responsibility to take her to the vet. 2 year-old cat: SUPER cute and cuddly animal who was drawn to me the moment I walked in the door. I loved her to death, but we noticed that she had some health issues. We asked them about it over FIVE times and they changed the topic every single time. Now we have a cat who may have parasites within her. I called back and once again, it's our responsibility to take care of her now. I love animals and I love non-kill animal shelters. But, unless you want a puppy, look elsewhere for adoption. I recently adopted a cat from a humane society in Columbus and it was the best experience ever. DO NOT ADOPT here if you want anything OTHER than a puppy. Save yourself some time and money, because they let animals suffer and expect you to pay for the full price after adoption.

But I didn't need to worry. They were volunteers with A Purrfect Start animal rescue in Grove City. On their own time and dime, they were picking up strays to be spayed and neutered and then were returning them to the area, left ear clipped to show they'd been taken in. Purrfect Start has been helping homeless animals, both domestic and feral with food, shelter, fostering, adoptions and also spaying and neutering since the summer of 2008. Kudos to these special folks for doing the right thing. In addition, I recently adopted in one of the kittens they returned to the area.

Supplement to My Previous Review: Retail Retaliation & Ethical Concerns…read moreI am writing this follow-up to inform the community of recent developments following my previous honest review of Inland Reef. Today, management officially denied me service and banned me from purchasing from their pet store as a direct result of the good-faith complaints and reviews I shared online. While I fully understand and accept that a private business has the legal right to refuse service, the timing and motivation behind this decision speak volumes. Rather than taking constructive criticism to improve their operations, management chose retaliation--silencing a customer for simply telling the truth about their corrupt business practices and the unethical treatment of their animals. The Reality of Their Products and Livestock As many reptile owners know, finding reliable, high-quality live snake feeders can be difficult, and this store was the only local option I knew of (though I have thankfully since rectified this problem and found alternatives). My criticisms were never malicious; they were born out of genuine concern and lived experience: Livestock Mortality: The majority of the animals I have purchased from this establishment in the past unfortunately passed away, with diseases verified after the fact. Poor Plant Quality: Every single aquatic plant I ever purchased from them died in the exact same manner, showcasing a systemic lack of proper care and maintenance. Profits Over Ethics: It is painfully obvious that this store prioritizes profit margins over the ethical treatment of living creatures and treating their fellow humans with basic dignity. A Biblical Perspective on Unjust Gain For a business that operates on deception and mistreats the creation under its care, Scripture offers a stern reminder about the consequences of corrupt practices and placing wealth over righteousness. Proverbs 11:1 "The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him." Inland Reef operates on "dishonest scales"--taking hard-earned money from customers while knowingly providing sick animals and subpar goods. Furthermore, the Bible speaks directly to the responsibility humans have to care for animals, a duty this store continuously fails to meet: Proverbs 12:10 "The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel." By neglecting the health of their reptiles and livestock for the sake of the bottom line, and by lashing out at those who expose these atrocities, the management mirrors the sins of greed and pride. Wealth gained through exploitation and the suffering of innocent animals will never yield a true blessing. A Warning to the Public To my fellow pet owners, hobbyists, and community members: Please exercise extreme caution if you must shop here. If Inland Reef is your only option for specific supplies or feeders, protect yourself. Inspect everything thoroughly, be aware of the high risk of disease, and know that if you speak up about a negative experience, management is more likely to ban you than to fix the problem. Support ethical breeders and businesses who respect both their animals and their patrons whenever possible.
