Between my friends, family, and myself, we have adopted a few times from Sierra's Haven. Here's how…read morethe experience went: Puppy: perfect condition, no complaints and great dog. "2" year old dog: This dog was promoted to be ye o years old in perfect condition with no health issues. After adoption, we find out that she has lymes disease and she was actually five years old. They were not clear about any of this and I felt extremely scammed out of my money. After calling, they basically said they knew about it and now it was our responsibility to take her to the vet. 2 year-old cat: SUPER cute and cuddly animal who was drawn to me the moment I walked in the door. I loved her to death, but we noticed that she had some health issues. We asked them about it over FIVE times and they changed the topic every single time. Now we have a cat who may have parasites within her. I called back and once again, it's our responsibility to take care of her now. I love animals and I love non-kill animal shelters. But, unless you want a puppy, look elsewhere for adoption. I recently adopted a cat from a humane society in Columbus and it was the best experience ever. DO NOT ADOPT here if you want anything OTHER than a puppy. Save yourself some time and money, because they let animals suffer and expect you to pay for the full price after adoption.

Looking for a new dog, we noticed that Pike County had a few interesting listings online every…read moreweek, and their adoption fee was low. We finally made it down here, and went home with a good dog. The facility is both the dog pound and the sheriff's office (or an office, anyway.) Also, it's right next to the airport (a perk for me.) Located on a winding, bumpy road well off 23, so be careful in inclement weather. It's a nice, fairly small facility. Not fancy, but the animals are comfortable and well cared for. The deputy clearly loved the dogs (it's all dogs, no cats.) We came mostly prepared, with $50 cash and a pet carrier. However, we forgot a leash, which you might need, and a blanket, which he generously gave us. Wish we could have taken 2 or 3 more, but we already have a pretty full house. Super low prices (that fee covers license, shots, and getting them fixed at a later date.) Franklin County charges $125, I think, and pet rescues can be $200 and up. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the facility is so small and basic. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's not quite "as good as it gets." But they are doing well by the animals, and helping get them homes.

My nephew's dog, Titan, went missing the morning after being dropped off at Kennelodge in…read morePortsmouth. When I asked how far their cameras go back and if we could review different angles--just to understand how Titan got out and ensure the footage wouldn't be overwritten--I was told no, because other dogs might be visible. I was then called delusional and crazy for even asking. Initially, my sister (my nephew's mother) was told there was no camera footage. Later, she was sent a screen recording showing Titan getting out of his kennel and into the common area--still within their fenced property. So clearly, footage did exist. When Titan first went missing, a staff member told us they had just started looking and had already called my nephew to notify him. That same staff member told my sister the last place they saw Titan heading toward was the Second Street bridge and west side. Our family, including my sister, immediately began searching that area--and even saw the Kennelodge truck parked near the racetrack side, suggesting they were also looking in that location. But after about two hours of searching, the story changed. We were then told that Titan had actually been lost near OSCO, a completely different area. These conflicting and shifting accounts made an already difficult search much more confusing and frustrating. Friends and family have been searching nonstop--on foot, by car, drone, and kayak. We're not trying to create problems or blame anyone. We just want to find Titan. But the inconsistent information, lack of cooperation, and dismissive treatment from the owners and staff has been incredibly disappointing. This is not the type of response anyone should receive from a facility entrusted with the care of people's pets.

We are so lucky to have found Amanda at Amanda's Gorgeous Grooming. My husband took our three dogs…read morein -- all of them wildly overdue for grooming, heavily matted, and a trio of deeply offended drama queens/kings with trust issues and tangles. There was barking. There were nerves. There were... let's call them "marking-related incidents." One of them even tried to bite her (apparently her new move when she feels vulnerable and over-groomed). But Amanda? Cool as a cucumber. Patient, kind, unbothered, like she grooms chaos daily. Which, clearly, she does. And somehow, despite all that, they came home looking fantastic; neatly shaved, totally refreshed, and about ten pounds lighter in fur and drama. One of them actually pranced around like he'd just returned from a luxury wellness retreat. And the smell? Incredible. No weird residue, no mystery "dog cologne" cloud, no lingering ear funk. (If you've ever had a groomer forget the ears, you know exactly the kind of death-like smell I'm talking about -- Amanda didn't miss a thing.) She loves what she does, and it shows -- in the care, the detail, and the way our dogs actually seemed relieved afterward. We've decided she's stuck with us now. If your dogs are sweet but unhinged, like ours, Amanda is your person. Highly recommend -- gratefully from us, and apologetically on behalf of our dogs.

They took him and watched over him a couple of days even though he wouldn't cooperate with the IV's (he kept pulling them out).

Dr Salisbury said that Oodles sometimes can tolerate surgeries.
