When you visit a website and see a focus on animal care, you might think, "What an incredible…read moreshelter! These people truly care for and protect the animals." However, the story of Sergeant Snuggles, a family dog and guardian, reveals a different side. At just nine months old, he had a bad day when he was startled and accidentally bit someone. Person wrote to the court that was her mistake not his.Following this incident, Sergeant Snuggles ended up at the Pima Animal Shelter, where he spent over eight months without walks, stimulation, or visits from his family. The family is desperate to save him because they know he is not an aggressive dog. They missed him dearly. They invested a significant amount of money to bring him back; however, they unfortunately lacked adequate representation in court. This situation is unjust, and it reflects both abuse and neglect. Shelters are meant to provide assistance, not to hold dogs as hostages. They can help , they can testify in the court but they JUST WANT TO KILL HIM,

Although it was beyond hours, Susan greeted us, answered questions, and, in reality, comforted both of us. She also offered any help she could give to our situation. Indecision kept us busy for two more weeks, but decision made, we called her. She and a volunteer came on a Sunday and collected our surplus and our cat, taking time from her weekend to let us say goodbye, assuring his care, and thanking us for the privilege of being able to help. Fantastic, caring organization. We are indepted, and will be in their support list for a long time. If you are searching for a new furry friend, give them a call. You'll leave with a good feeling of meeting the people as well as the friend I hope you'll meet there and bring home.

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

Perhaps our visit last year was during a good time, but it seemed inventory was down, and prices were up. The art selections were fewer, and the variety of collectables seemed fewer, too.

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.
