I moved here almost a year ago and wanted to foster a cat so I was recommended PACC. Sure enough…read morethey were overflowing with animals and I was happy to take a senior cat home with me. He needed eye removal surgery along with some dental work so a month later I took him for that. Before I get ahead of myself, he also has some sneezing fits which they gave me medication for before his surgery which it seemed to work. They did blood work three separate times while he was under their care. Fast forward to taking him in for a pre adoption appointment in November 2025, they gave him the all clear, saying he was in good health and he may just need more dental work in the future which no big deal because they set me up with Fetch pet insurance. The agent setting up his insurance account informed me all of his teeth would be covered and if he needed special food in the future that would be covered too. It also sounded like a good deal because they are the only insurance that covers pre existing conditions that shelter animals typically would have throughout their lives in the shelter or on the streets. Cool. One month later, December 2025, he had sneezing fits again so we took him to friends of Pacc clinic because Pacc recommended them to us to use after adopting him. They diagnosed him with herpesvirus, didn't even take blood work or run tests to confirm it, gave me medicine for him. It had been a week and he was getting worse so I took him to another vet for a second opinion. This was earlier this month January 2026. Good thing I did because I found out he has calisivirus, mycoplasma virus, kidney dysfunction, and is severely anemic and needs to go to the ER asap to get a transfusion. I've already spent near 1 grand on medication and vet visits, now I'm going to spend who knows how much on a transfusion he needs to live. How could they not have caught all of this at Pacc with the amount of tests they ran on him, I'm very annoyed and angry, I feel like they withheld this information from me or they were cutting corners there. I want justice for my cat for their lack of care for him and for myself financially and the emotional toll this has taken on me. Also, the agent at Pacc that set up my insurance for him put his age at start of insurance as 4 instead of 12. So the "great deal" on insurance I thought I was paying was all a lie. After submitting all my recent vet expenses for my cat, I discovered this major error and had to report it and I was charged a pretty penny of back pay along with a hefty increase in my monthly payment. Extremely disappointed. I also called the insurance to ask about the prescription food coverage he needs for his kidneys and they said the agent at Pacc misinformed me and his food will not be covered. So I just had to pay almost 60$ for only 24 cans of food that will only last me a month. They need to not be giving out false information and have some more competence when it comes to filling out insurance forms. How do you put 4 instead of 12. I could understand maybe putting 2 instead of 12 due to just simply missing a single number, but 4?! The only reason I'm giving the extra Star is because the over all staff of volunteers there are incredible. The people who aren't getting paid by Pacc, who show up to volunteer, those are the people that make that place even worth going to. Never going to Pacc again. It's so sad that so many animals are there that need homes and so many people go there and think they are getting the best care but they aren't getting the full disclosure on their animals health. It's not just me too, I've heard other stories from people fostering and adopting through them as well, one of them being a kitten with ringworm, they weren't told he had ringworm and they ended up needing to get rid of their couch and all their kids stuffed animals and spent a lot of time cleaning their whole house only for it to come back three other times. They need to be honest with people so they can decide whether they can take in the animal financially and if their home is equipped to handle them. Please if you decide to go to Pacc, please please please make them do a recent medical evaluation with blood tests and any other tests you think they need especially if it's an older animal.

We found Camino Verde Pet Resort 2 - 3 years ago. The kennel we had used for years closed during…read morethe pandemic, and I was beginning to think I was never going to find another kennel where I felt comfortable boarding our two dogs. We adopted the dogs from a local rescue group, and while they are generally well-behaved, they have a few personality quirks as a result of mistreatment before they were removed from their original home. In particular, one dog has a tendency to be a little fear aggressive, and they are both a little slow to adapt to new situations. I thus was looking for a kennel staffed by people who understand dogs and are willing to be patient while the dogs work through the process of settling in to a new situation. It seemed like every kennel I looked at had at least one or two horror story reviews of dogs being seriously injured, lost, and even a few where the dog died while being boarded. When I read Camino Verde's reviews, however, the worst thing I saw was that some people were quite upset that their dog came home with fleas. Well, duh, that is going to happen when your dog is in close quarters with other dogs and you haven't used any flea and tick preventative. Before we boarded our dogs the first time, we went and visited the kennel, and we were very impressed with what we saw. All the dogs seemed happy, well-cared for, and had plenty of fresh water. All the cages were clean. We have boarded our dogs at Camino Verde a number of times over the past 2 -3 years, and the dogs have always been happy and well-adjusted when we pick them up. I highly recommend this kennel. The staff have been great about dealing with our dogs, and their online reservation system is very user friendly.

Animal control suggested over the phone that I surrender them and let this count against me because catching them means I now legally own them, OR I could leave them somewhere if I feel safe with where they're at because cats in Arizona are considered free roaming animals. Then she said, "I know it sounds terrible." Basically, the only way animal control gets involved is if cats are sick. Otherwise, they're fine to be left in a safe area. I was made to feel like a bad person for not wanting these cats to be harmed, and for not being willing to keep the strays. There's a wait list anyway, but that's no reason to suggest sweeping an issue under the rug just so they don't have to deal with the problem that they consider is my problem. I'm very disappointed and wouldn't recommend this place. I will continue my search to rehome these animals that deserve better than abandonment in the desert.

Proceed with caution. Something feels off with this organization…read more They took issue with the fact that my dog does not sleep in my bedroom, which struck me as extremely strange. Their expectations around how dogs should exist are overly rigid and disconnected from real-world pet ownership. They seem to confuse human preferences with canine behavior and fail to recognize that dogs can be healthy, secure, and well-adjusted without sharing a bedroom with their owner. Rather than focusing on whether a dog is genuinely loved, properly cared for, and well-trained, they appear to search for minor technicalities to disqualify potential adopters. That approach feels more judgmental than responsible. If you're considering adopting, I would recommend taking your time and exploring other organizations that prioritize the overall well-being of the dog over arbitrary rules. Spend your money and energy elsewhere
