We live just 5 miles from this clinic. We really wanted to like them. We really did. However, when…read morewe took our very sick, old cat in with an obvious respiratory illness, we were far from impressed. He had been sick for a few days. Discharge coming from eyes and nose. Coughing and sneezing, lethargic, hadn't been eating well at all. The poor guy couldn't even purr any longer. He had stopped grooming himself and was miserable. We took him in, figuring he would need to be euthanized. Instead, he was put through bloodwork and exrays, with no explanation as to how much all of this was going to cost. Then the vet came back and told us everything was perfect. I felt like I was in the twighlight zone. This cat was very sick and I was worried about the rest of our cats at home!! Her explanation was, he may have just developed asthma over the last few days. She was going to just send us home, until my fiance asked if he needed an antibiotic or something to help him. She proceeds to give us one, as well as pain meds for arthritis in his back. We go to the counter and find out our bill is $330. We drive home and the sick feeling hit my stomach like a brick. Three days later, he was even sicker and could barely walk. We had to make the long trip into Marysville, where we finally helped the poor guy cross over. NOW 3 of our younger cats are developing coughs. We are holding out hope that they will be okay, since they are young and the first to show signs, seems to be improving. However, I can promise you, we will be taking them into Marysville Animal Care, if it becomes necessary. Never again!

I have taken many homeless animals to Wyandot County Humane Society for the last 30 years. Since I…read morelive in Columbus, it is a good 1.25 hour drive to Upper Sandusky. WCHS has always accepted the animals I've taken to them. In the early 90's, I even made several trips up there after 11PM when I was working full-time and taking classes at Ohio State. Linda herself would come out when I got there around midnight and take the animals in. The shelters in Columbus, Ohio, including Columbus Humane and Cat Welfare, always told me that they are full or had such restricted hours for intakes that a person who works cannot get in to surrender animals. Columbus Humane's current intake system requiring one to schedule an appointment for the animals to be observed and then take them home with you again for 14 days, then bring them back in to surrender will result in lots of people just leaving the animals to suffer on the streets. Over the last 30 years, I've taken 3 dogs and several cats to WCHS, including 2 of my own cats. I know that all of the dogs and 2 of the cats found great homes. I don't know the outcome with all of the cats. However I trusted, and still trust, that Linda, Dave, and their staff did their best to find a great, forever home for each animal. I actually got to visit the new home of my Grandpa's dog, after my Grandpa passed away. The new owners had wanted me to have their phone number and invited me to come and visit Bo (dog's name) anytime. I saw for myself that Bo was being treated fantastic and felt relaxed and loved in his new home. I am extremely grateful to Linda and Dave for the help they gave me with 2 of my own cats, Bob and Beamer, and my Mom's cat of 9 years, Angel. I had something bad happen to me in the late 90's, after I'd had Bob for 11 years. I could no longer take care of Bob. Since Linda knew I'd had Bob for 11 years, she at first took Bob into her and Dave's own house. That made me feel so good and took away my worries of Bob living in a cage. However, Bob had a huge dislike of all other male cats. Not surprising that Bob was extremely unhappy living in the main part of their house with lots of other male cats. So Linda made their basement, with a couch, chair, big rug, and windows, Bob's home. Staff members went downstairs every day to give Bob attention. Eventually, Linda found a female kitten who Bob got along with to live in the basement with him. Linda did an excellent job of making Bob feel at home. I am also grateful to Linda and Dave for helping with another cat of mine, Beamer. In the neighborhood I lived in, I noticed a cat always sitting outside on a porch in front of an open door with a full-view storm door. The cat was friendly, and I started talking to him and petting him when I went out to walk. I met the lady who lived in the house. She said she had been feeding the cat, Beamer, outside for 2 years. However she said she will never let him in. She said it's because he was FIV+. She had 3 cats of her own inside and she didn't want them to get FIV. Beamer sat there every day and looked through the door at the 3 cats living inside. I decided to take Beamer into the house I was renting. He was very happy to have a home, however his FIV symptoms worsened. After 10 months of having him, he started getting sores all over that wouldn't heal. He was in a lot of pain and couldn't handle being touched. Since FIV is a wasting disease, I asked Linda and Dave if they would humanely euthanize Beamer. I and Beamer are so grateful that they were willing. I am also giving a Thank You to Linda for being so patient with me 4 years ago when I couldn't decide what to do about my Mom's cat, Angel, when my Mom had to go into a Memory Care Center. I had volunteered to take my Mom's cat into my apartment. I found that my Mom's cat had some severe physical problems which I hadn't observed and which my Mom hadn't communicated, likely due to her Dementia followed by Alzheimer's. Angel had problems with her veins collapsing and poor circulation, which caused her to stumble. Shortly after I took Angel in, she started vomiting about 20 times a day in my apartment. I called Linda to see if she had any remedies for the above problems. Boiled rice and chicken diet hadn't helped. Linda said that they were willing to humanely euthanize Angel - if I wanted. I couldn't make up my mind about euthanasia because I wanted my Mom to be able to say that's what she wanted. However, at that time my Mom couldn't even remember she'd had a cat. Four months later Angel had to be euthanized by a veterinarian in Columbus. I have read some reviews on Yelp and Google which have said some horrific and very upsetting things about the conditions some animals are living in at WCHS. I was extremely upset about the review saying that many cats were living in 1 cage with no food + water and were fighting. Due to the wonderful help WCHS has given the animals I took to them, I am saying I don't believe it.

I surrendered an Amish horse two yrs ago to this rescue. He was a very kind horse, excellent…read moreground and pasture manners. He was turned out with a herd of 4 mini horses and 2 sheep He needed more rides on him than we could do. He was a buggy horse. I have video of him being ridden, by me, and in turn out, with minis. I checked on him and was told he was euthanized because his behavior was dangerous and a safety issue to employees and volunteers This sure doesn't sound like the horse we knew. He was in his 20's and no Amish would keep a horse that long that was "dangerous" I made a big mistake by trusting this horse to a "rescue" that takes in every horse. We thought he'd make someone a nice trail horse. If he was going to be put down, for a reason that doesn't make sense to all that knew him, I am sorry I didn't spare him from that dirt pasture, freezing temps, no grass, so called, "rescue." I should have kept him at home, fat and happy on grass and euthanized here. I figured it was too good to be turn and it was. I would never send any horse here. Just do your research I agree, they would be inundated to take in every horse. I failed my Gabe and am so sorry I gave him such an end. I have to wonder if he was sent to slaughter...I don't think they microchip the horses that are not leased out. It would be cost prohibitive to do that. So I got closure for Gabe but still doubt the generic description of the reason.. that he was dangerous and a safety concern. I have video of this kind horse if any one is interested. If I could give them zero stars I would. Please be careful

They have a friendly staff and very convenient hours. In fact, I'm typing this review sitting in their parking lot on a Sunday afternoon waiting to pick up meds for my Son's sick guinea pig. If your looking for a vet with great facilities that will treat your beloved animal with care, I'd strongly consider giving Edgefield a call.

I'm confident they dehydrate the dogs on purpose, as every time my dog comes home, she drinks like she's never seen water before. So, an animal care center, as long as your animal doesn't need any care... at all. Absolute worst facility I've ever used. It's 1 star because Yelp won't let me put zero.

They really take the time to look at their temperament and the homes they'd be going to and making sure both the family and the animal are happy. Excellent process overall, and we highly recommend working with Marion Area Humane Society if you find an animal you love!
