    "Ozzy"

    Thank you PRC for allowing us to give Pepper (now Ozzy) a loving home. He is adjusting well with our other two rescues.

    The dog the center paired us with. We played & bonded for 1hr & 45minutes & find out the dog was "promised to another family."

    They were amazing. They guided me to the dog they thought would best suit my needs. She's an angel. I feel that she rescued me

    I found Tabitha shortly after adopting my dog Kestrel, about a year & a half ago. I'd never had my…read moreown dog, so even though I *thought* I was prepared, I needed all the help I could get. When Kestrel was a puppy, Tabitha helped prepare me for the basics- everything from potty training to socialization & general obedience. Having someone help guide me through the process made the "puppy stage" so much more manageable than I had anticipated it would be! As Kestrel grew out of puppyhood, she developed some poor social skills around other dogs- resource guarding me & showing signs of reactivity around other dogs. This caused a spike in my anxiety & was a major challenge for me, but Tabitha refused to give up on us. She gave me all the tools I needed to overcome my anxiety & teach Kestrel better manners around new dogs (we're not completely over that obstacle yet, but we are seeing major improvements). When I went out of town for two weeks over the summer, I trusted Tabitha to take care of my best friend knowing that she would get the same level of care & attention she gets at home, with the added bonus of social play time! I continue to take courses with Tabitha & the Coachella Valley Dog Club because I love my dog so so much & I want to continue giving her the tools she needs to thrive. We recently started scentwork training, & look forward to eventually taking agility courses as well! Kestrel has a small handful of people who she loves with an intensity that she can't contain & Tabitha is one of those people. We count on Coachella Valley Dog Club for obedience, socialization, specialty training, boarding, & even guidance with diet & supplements. Bringing home a dog of my own had been a dream of mine for years, & having Kestrel has been even better than I imagined, but I couldn't have done it without Tabitha's help!

    As a dog rescuer, I have needed to work with Tabitha several times. She is extremely competent and…read moreher confidence is important when dealing with dogs that need to understand who is boss. I ABSOLUTELY love the no force training methods Tabitha has taught me and continues to consult with me whenever I ask her questions. It's nice to trust the person who will be training your furry family member and I would recommend Tabitha to anyone. In fact, I have several times. I've been in a situation where I needed an expert to help me and she stepped up with no hesitation. Almost two years later, I still feel the same!!!

    5+ Stars to PetSmart La Quinta's trainer, Justus Suderman, who led our "Puppy" class…read more Here's what went well: Program - organized, thoughtful and progressive. Loved the training booklet (with pictures!) they provided to us which depicted the commands we used in class as well as helpful tips and information. Trainer - Justus was friendly, organized, knowledgeable and did a great job presenting the information each week. He was super patient and didn't just cover the curriculum, but always spent time each week addressing questions and challenges we (as new puppy owners) experienced while providing solutions. Format - Informal, positive, and puppy friendly (no harsh methods, only positive methods of working with the pups). Loved the group format. Our five month old Bernedoodle got a lot out of the class. So much so she graduated and we signed her up for the intermediate class.

    I recently started shopping here again after spending probably the last 10 years going to Petco…read more Unfortunately, today reminded me why I stopped coming here in the first place. I arrived about 10 minutes before the store opened. There were several employees already inside, and there were multiple customers waiting outside: myself, another woman, and a couple with their dog. Now, I completely understand that the posted opening time is 9:00 a.m. What I found ridiculous was the way the situation was handled. A few minutes before 9:00, an employee came to the door and let the couple with the dog inside because they were there for grooming, which apparently opens earlier. Meanwhile, the rest of us were literally left standing at the door and made to wait until exactly 9:00 on the dot. Would it have destroyed the operation of the store to let two waiting customers step inside a couple of minutes early while the door was already being opened? Apparently, according to manager Melissa, yes. The whole interaction came across as unnecessarily petty and more about exercising authority than providing good customer service. There is a big difference between following store hours and going out of your way to make customers feel unwelcome. The other woman who had been waiting outside ended up leaving too -- and, amusingly enough, I ran into her shortly afterward at Petco. So congratulations: instead of gaining back two customers, you sent both of us directly to your competitor. Melissa may technically have been within her rights to make everyone wait until exactly 9:00, but good managers understand that customer service requires judgment, courtesy, and common sense -- not a stopwatch and a power trip. One star. I'm back to Petco, and I won't be returning.

    I am so excited to finally write this review after a full year with our big guy. We are…read moretraditionally dog people but are getting older and no longer have older kids at home to help with large pets but we were very attracted to the idea of a Bengal because of their higher than usual energy. We were hoping for a good middle-ground between running dogs every day for two decades and a fat house cat and we really feel like we got exactly what we were dreaming of and so much more. Her kittens were impeccable and we can't even believe how lucky we got with our male. He was instantly affectionate and loving towards us. My husband was very wary of cats and believed all of them were skittish and stand-offish. I had a childhood cat and remembered them being easy to own. I convinced him to let me get this kitten after our last dog passed because he was so gorgeous and as masculine as a sweet kitty could possibly look. We were so impressed with Dad when we met him in person and our little guy ended up looking just as handsome now that he's almost fully grown. Even other bengal owners are always blown away by his unusual coloring and shine. This is a cat even my husband is so proud to own after years of telling me cats were for women. Lol They are best buddies and sometimes I feel like I bought my own dream cat but my husband was the one who ended up with the best friend. He has zero negative health issues and has only needed to see the vet for regular vaccinations and altering. We have so much comfort in knowing that he has only eaten human grade food as we have continued the breeder's extraordinary meal plan. We have been a lifelong long kibble and canned food combo users and we had absolutely no idea how low the quality of food that is allowed to be given as animal grade even in the most expensive pet food. Our aunt just lost her sweet male cat to a urinary blockage and we had no idea how common they are in cats fed commercial foods. We take him everywhere with us and he is a huge comfort to me because of my anxiety. Everybody wants to interact with him and love on him and he really takes a lot of pressure off situations for me. I have never known a cat to be so willing to greet a large groups of people and people can't believe how calm he is. We did take the breeders advice and alter him before sexual maturity. He has never even once had an accident outside the litter box or on grass at home or in public. After decades of puppies I was ready for months of potty training. I had no idea how incredible a well raised kitten is at using the litter box exclusively. It was an absolute dream transition bringing him into our home. He has changed my life. We have not gotten a second bengal only because we love so much that we are able to travel with him and worry that flights, imposing on friends when we stay, etc would be too difficult with more than him but I am so tempted every time I see your posts of new litters. We have been life long animal adores but we never knew we could experience a bond with an animal like this. Thank you so much and to anyone considering a kitten--I couldn't imagine a better one in the entire world than the one I adopted from them.

    From the owner: Though Bengal cats have surged in popularity most largely due to their stunning appearance, it is…read moretheir remarkable personalities and distinctive traits that are the focus of our program. Bengals inherit a strong drive and confidence from their wild ancestors that overshadows the timid nature of domestic breeds. Our mission is to show animal lovers everywhere that when bred for temperament and raised carefully, Bengals are a dog-comparable emotional support or therapy animal with more manageable space and maintenance requirements. Our Bengals adventure without fear, possess the energy and drive to flourish with intensive training programs, and have an incredible capacity for human companionship. We produce a very small number of kittens as individual attention and socialization are the cornerstones of our program. Avoid spending the first months with your new pet battling the issues caused by profit-focused large catteries. Our kittens have- -Age-ap vaccines/multiple dewormings -Completed litter box training -2 weeks of frozen Raw-diet that the kittens have grown up on to transition them -5 day viral warranty -1 year guarantee against detrimental congenital defects Our kittens are the very best in pet-quality but are only for pet and therapy animal homes—we do not sell with papers for show or breeding. If you want a beautiful, healthy cat but need an animal that feels like an extension of yourself, please feel free to reach out and inquire about available kittens!

    I've been shopping at Petco for years, but recently started going to PetSmart occasionally because…read moretheir hours worked better for me. This morning, purely out of habit, I stopped at PetSmart first. I arrived around 8:55 a.m. While the manager opened the door to let grooming customers inside, she then shut the door and made the rest of us wait outside until exactly 9:00. So I left and drove over to Petco -- and I don't think I'll be straying again. When I walked into Petco, there were already customers inside shopping, and one customer was actually in the middle of checking out. Clearly, Petco understands that good customer service sometimes means using a little common sense instead of watching the second hand on the clock. I was able to walk in, buy everything I needed, check out, and leave Petco before the other store had even officially opened its doors. That pretty much settled for me where I'll be shopping from now on.

You need to close the store how many large pet stores are necessary when over half the tiny desert community is Vacation rentals and air bnb likely 70% of the city. The staff is trash employees trained not to give a discount on 2nd bag of bad dog food I'm over paying for btw. Why are we overpaying for dog food so they can open unnecessary stores?! The last bag OF NATURAL BALANCE HAD WORMS IN IT NOT SURE IF ITS THE COMPANY OR THE LAUNDRY LIST OF POOR STAFF LEAVING FOOD IN 120 DEGREE HEAT. I filed a complaint with corporate already Manager. I'm the guy who just left about 30 min ago if you see me around town holler at me. Update Just realized this cashier shorted me $20 on the return great work?! Now we're stealing from customers smh. I was obviously concerned with my dog knew something was off but blood was boiling dealing with that trash staff called India twice they are better at their jobs lol. Still waiting to hear back from the DM?? I definitely want my $20 back after all this.

    Never heard back from them and we were ready to adopt immediately. Both myself and my daughter…read morecalled, (the "are too busy to care for kitties AND answer the phone, so please send a text"), so we texted, created an account online (because they want to know you're "actually serious" about adopting before you can even MEET the cat you're considering adopting.) (I do understand and respect prioritizing the mental health of the cats, but I'm sure the cats, especially the adults, would prefer a compromise, like being required to fill out a one page form on the spot before meeting). Every serious adopter that goes into a pet store and sees one of this organization's animals that they are interested in adopting and is told they have to go through this and this and this step before they can even interact with the cat and know if the personality is a fit. Everyone loses out. In my experience, even if you do go through all the steps, they won't call you back, and a cat that could have had a home I know had that opportunity taken from them because of the seemingly righteous or superior attitude of the rescue people. They surely know how many people go in and out of those cat and kitten rooms at the Animal Friends of the Valley shelter. Having a few people go in one at a time to meet one particular cat, I don't feel, is any more dangerous or unhealthy for the cat than them losing the opportunity to be adopted and eventually being put down. I just don't understand rescues like this. If you're too small to actually help, then let somebody else do it.

Mindy provided a very personable, warm and extremely responsive service, made every effort to respond to my inquiry on Adopt-A-Pet and approving my application as well as just answering my questions and chatting with me about my potential cat baby's personality traits and his background story. She responded to emails as late as 11PM on a weekend and her demeanor was always welcoming and reassuring, like an old, caring friend. Mindy's words and actions convey that she truly truly love all of her rescued cat babies and she only wants what's best for them and she works extremely hard to find them good homes. I was very sad that neither cat babies from her rescue matched the particular personality I was looking for (I was trying to fill this big hole in my heart with the tragic loss of a stray cat named Cookie I cared for) and I really wished that given all the hard work she and her daughter put into, I'd adopt either Teddy or Khabib. Despite these big, affectionate sweet boys were not the best match I was searching for, I don't think any less of them, I sincerely hope they will find their forever home they deserve and I cannot be more grateful for Mindy's time, patience and understanding she's extended me and my family. If I had more capacity for an additional cat baby in the future after finding THE ONE, Mindy and her rescue is the first place I'd check out.
