I am fine paying but want it to be good quality care- and that's what I've found with Star Gazing Farm.

It's really a great place.

Terry & her husband are awesome. After becoming disabled and having to sell our home, my family's…read morebeloved Nigerian dwarf goats Pip & Lola had to move to my Mother-in-law's. Although she runs a non-profit horse rescue and had more than adequate space and means to care for the goats (she was the one who initially gave us the goats) her disdain for me left them treated like red headed step children (no offense to gingers). She wouldn't allow me to visit them and refused to put anything in their pen for them to climb on (NDG's love to climb). She constantly complained to my Wife about how much she hated them and wanted them gone. This went on for almost a year. After tirelessly searching for a new happy & healthy home and calling every animal rescue and sanctuary I could find I found Poplar Spring. Terry let me know that they were at max capacity but to send pics and info on Pip & Lola and she would help me find them a home. After sending her the info and explaining our situation she offered to go out of her way to make room for them. I reached out (via 3rd party) to the evil Mother-in-law who I thought would be over joyed to rid her herself of them. Of course she couldn't be bothered to use HER animal non-profit's truck, trailer or fuel to transport them to Poplar Spring so Terry & her Husband stepped up EVEN FURTHER and the NEXT DAY drove 2 1/2 hours to pick them up. Terry sent me pictures of them once they arrived and I couldn't contain my emotions. I had felt like I failed these 2 wonderful creatures. I'd still be feeling that way if it wasn't for Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary. Your support and charitable donations couldn't go to a better non-profit. One that GENUINELY cares about the animals. I look forward to making the trip out to visit them soon. Thanks Terry & Co.

I recently stumbled upon a particular adoptable dog on Petfinder, which lead me to the CARE website…read moreand Facebook page. After a week of making sure I could definitely bring this dog home, I finally reached out about scheduling a visit. At this point, I was all in and ready to adopt this dog. I sent over the application via email ahead of time and was super excited to visit him that weekend. Fast forward to Friday and I received an email from Ming that the dog had gotten adopted and my visit was cancelled. My heart was broken. Lucky for me, the adoption didn't end up going through, and Ming reached back out on Saturday night to see if I still wanted to visit, which OF COURSE I did! I stopped by the next day, took the dog for a walk around the neighborhood and then signed all of the paperwork and paid the adoption fee. It's important to note that the CARE team works on a first-come, first-serve basis, so the dog you're looking at could easily get adopted before you get the chance to make it to your scheduled visit. I would've appreciated the team letting me know someone else was also in the adoption process/looking at the dog so I wouldn't have been so surprised. Once I visited, the adoption process was super easy and Ming was really great at explaining everything to me that I needed to know. My new dog is the sweetest and I'm SO happy everything worked out!

We have been very happy with all of our boarding experiences here!!

One friend of mine recommended Ming's Place. After checking everything out, Ming's looked like the best place. Arrangements were easy to make and I got our dog's vacation stay scheduled easily. When it came time for dropoff, we arrived and got to take a look at the place and it was just like the pictures I had been sent. The place looked fun for dogs. So we left our lil furbaby with Ming and started our vacation. Day 1 of our vacation, I was pleasantly surprised by Ming and crew sending pictures of my doggie. And not just once a day. I got pics in the AM and also in the PM, twice a day. That made such a huge difference for my family. They looked forward to getting these pics twice a day. I could see in the pictures through the week, that our shy Beagle was developing more confidence. That was great to see!! So glad my friend recommended Mings and I will def use him again.

Their business is appointment only so your pet gets 1:1 attention. Once the online form is filled out, you'll receive an email with a welcome letter and price list. There are also packages available with a discounted rate for sessions. Lisa, the owner has been the most kind and patient instructor with Winnie, who has already shown progress by her second lesson! Additionally, she is very responsive through email which is always appreciated. There are plenty of towels (but you should bring one for your car) and you WILL get wet too! 4 minutes of swimming is comparable to 1 minute of running, so this dog mom definitely appreciates a tired pup from time to time!

I had the chance to visit MeowTown Cat Lounge on a Saturday afternoon and was surprised that more…read morepeople haven't yet discovered it. It's a super cute cat lounge in a busy shopping center in McLean. When you enter, you are greeted by the friendly staff who walk you through the lounge rules. It's a sunny space with a lot of good climbing and cozy areas for cat. The decor is colorful and cat-themed. There is a lot of seating and cat toys/ I appreciated that they offer complimentary drinks and snacks. At the time that I visited, they had 18 cats in residence. Their photos are all on the wall and all cats are available for adoption. Most of the cats are adults and all were very sweet. I was really in love with Richard and also Kayce The cats are friendly and seemed very comfortable in their space. At the time I visited, about half the cats were snoozing and half were active. The lounge staff obviously care about the cats and shared fun stories about each cat with lounge visitors. One suggestion: I already have 2 cats (both adopted from other cat lounges) so I cannot adopt another kitty right now, but I would be happy to contribute a care fund for the cats if there was an opportunity to do so. Maybe there could be an option for non-adopters to give $5/$10/$20 toward the general care of particular cats? I have observed that older cats tend to take longer to get adopted. I think other visitors may appreciate that option too. I'm looking forward to visiting again with friends. It's nice to be able to go to such a peaceful, relaxing and fun place that cares about the well-being of animals

It didn't smell like cats or litter which is great.
