So we have an appointment to establish a local veterinarian. The place is well run, the staff is nice, and the animals are well cared for. I would recommend checking them out. They have stat sheets on all the animals.

I had my puppy spayed here in April. As a first-time pet owner whose family had only ever rescued…read moredogs before, I'd never had to deal with a pet getting spayed or neutered; it was always taken care of beforehand. We were very nervous before the surgery, and the quotes from other local vet's offices seemed overpriced. We got on Napa Humane's list and were originally scheduled for July, but they received a cancellation and got us in three months early. This wound up being a blessing because it gave me less time to worry about all the things that could go wrong during the surgery. On the day of the surgery, the receptionist was neither warm nor welcoming, which honestly added to the anxiety I was already feeling. However, the vet was fabulous- she was extremely knowledgeable about dogs in general, my dog's breed, and the many health issues they are prone to and did a wonderful job comforting my dog and me. I left her there feeling confident that the surgery would go swimmingly and that she was in good hands. She was, and it did! Something to note is that they don't provide post-surgical collars, so get one beforehand. We wound up getting a soft, inflatable one for Matilda, which was much easier to deal with than the traditional plastic cone. Napa Humane is committed to helping pet owners be responsible, and spaying and neutering are a big part of that. They offer an income-eligible program to residents of Napa, Lake, and Solano counties whose income level qualifies them for spaying or neutering at a significantly reduced cost. I really appreciate the fact that they do that, even though we did not qualify. I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking to get their pet spayed or neutered. They do a good job.

i adopted a dog through pets lifeline. they have decent prices, compared to everywhere else i could…read morefind. they sent him home with all his medical paperwork, a microchip, leash, collar, food for a week or two, a crate, toys, a bed... way more than anywhere else. i felt that was amazing, and credit should be given where it was due. they also give you a month free access to online vets and trainers (although that didn't help me much.) The reason i would NOT recommend this shelter is because i don't feel they were upfront with me about the dog i brought home. Firstly, He has fleas, and they didn't inform me. they did tell me he was given nexgaurd, (a medication for fleas, heart worms and ticks), and i would have to give him his second dose. but they told me that in succession with all of his other medical information, and i assumed it was completely preventative and something they put all new dogs on, just like the shots and microchip we were also discussing. not once did they specifically disclose the fleas at all. Second, i asked if he was house trained and they said as long as he has access to outside, he will go outside. that has turned out to be the farthest from the truth, he isn't house broken at all and training him for it has been going poorly. i was looking specifically for a dog that was already house broken. i do know dogs can have a regression after adoption, and have been patient but theres been 0 improvements no matter what i do for him. he seems to only want to go inside. and finally, he has a trauma with men that was severely downplayed during the adoption and i wasn't told until after we had traveled over an hour to come get him. i have been putting in the work for this dog, and i love him. he is worth it. but this is not at all what i prepared myself for, despite doing my best to spend months looking into the right establishments and breeds for our family and situation. this place has nothing but amazing reviews, and i thought if i had seen one like mine, i at least would have gone into it knowing what i do now. so if you've read this far, please take my experience into consideration when making your decision on what establishment you choose, and if it is this place, ask every question you can think of to make sure you don't leave feeling just a little deceived.

Over the years she and I went on many hikes together. She was always by my side. So very loyal. We added our Sons dog, a Shepsky, also adopted from Coppers Dream, to our family, as he was always traveling. Those two dogs spent many years together, always protective of me and of each other on our many hikes. I would periodically send in photos to CD, and always had a friendly reply. Almost like a family. One morning, up in ALanden Quicksilver Park, going up a steep narrow trail, they suddenly half turned and let rip with ferocious barks. A cougar came racing down the hill, I guess it wanted us for breakfast. Nope. Their utter ferocity in their barking and stance was one obstacle. The second was Bear Spray. That cougar decided quickly that this would not be a good way to start the day. Those two adopted dogs were Loyal, lovable, Protective, Goofy. Play ball? You bet. They loved swimming, exploring and making friends. My lab lived until she was 15. Our Shepsky passed a year or so before. Coppers Dream has always been professional, friendly and easy to approach. Now, I'm back looking for one more dog. Our young, female GSD is lonely without her big sister and big brother..

I have known Odessa for years and have so much respect for her incredible personal commitment to dog rescue. Most of the dogs 'roam' freely in her house, learning to get along with other dogs and with people. Puppies (and moms) stay in the puppy palace (a charmingly converted and furnished garage space). Rescuing and adopting dogs is very hard and very expensive work, since many dogs who were neglected or abused require a lot of love, medical care, and training. Please take any 'negative' reviews with a big grain of salt. All of us who have to deal with the public understand how unreasonable and uncharitable some people can be. This is a truly extraordinary woman who makes great sacrifices to rescue and place dogs in the best possible homes. It's an uphill battle with so many people allowing their dogs to breed and dumping them on rescue. And with some adopters/lookers who can be disrespectful of the process around placing dogs. Very few of us could do this work day in and day out with no reward other than seeing dogs go to the right guardians. Thank you to everyone who supports and adopts from rescue, saves lives, and appreciates those doing the really hard work. And please consider fostering a little dog if you can. It's a rewarding experience being part of the pipeline to forever homes.
