A number of professionals worked with us to find relief for our dog. They contacted our previous vet for us to get records and even patiently waited when "put on hold" to get further details about previous treatments. All questions were kindly answered, our input was welcomed, and we were included in all of the treatment (drawing blood, administering fluids...). Just a couple of hours after the appointment, we were emailed a detailed (4 pages) document, recording all that transpired during the visit. To top it all off, everything was affordable and everyone was so very pleasant!

My daughter went in with her 13 year old golden retriever who has had no real health issue. In the…read morenight she had an accident and there was a lot of blood along with her stool. She took her in to see Dr. Callejo in the Springboro Office. I had taken my dog there in the past. She wanted $720 to do 5 ex-rays and NO blood work. After agreeing to blood work, she said what she was doing would not show signs of cancer at rate of $420. She said her annual office visit is $420 with blood work. The tech suggested on doing 2 ex-rays so it would be less expensive. Dr. Callejo refused saying she wanted 5 ex-rays. It then became quite obvious that Dr. Callejo was strictly out for money. When I was going there, the vet cared about the animal and was much more compassionate and willing to work with you. When your pet is sick you want someone that cares about the animal not just the money. She could have done 1 or 2 ex-rays not 5 and then determined what else was needed. I will never recommend them again. What a sad experience.

I started as a foster with PORT in their early days of conception and fostered with them for…read moreseveral months before they decided to completely ghost me. I ran into a situation where I needed some work done at my home, and I could not continue to foster the FOURTEEN foster pets that I had through them at the time. Rather than work with me, help me, and have empathy for my situation, I experienced a lot of pushback, and negative reactions to needing a break from fostering. My phone calls and texts were not being returned. When they were returned, I was met with attitude and a complete lack of understanding or compassion. After much resistance, they finally took the fosters back. They don't supply their fosters with food or supplies as they claim. Not once was I given any supplies for the dozens of animals that I fostered through them, even when I expressed that the puppies I was fostering were going through more food than I could manage. They also don't spay and neuter most of their animals before adoption. Now that I am back in my home, neither Regan, nor Jaime, (the founders of PORT), will return my messages asking about the well-being of my former fosters. If you bend over and break your back for them, you'll be great. But God forbid life happens and you find yourself unable to help, because you then mean NOTHING to them. Proceed with caution should you decide to do any sort of business with PORT. Don't expect a lot of help. Definitely don't expect compassion and empathy when life happens. Edit in response to PORT's reply: Port requires a minimum of 5 days notice for return, except in cases of emergency. I had an emergency. I explained this to you guys over and over and over again and your response was, "that must be tough." I had a dog through you that was being aggressive with a child. But you guys didn't consider a threat to someone's safety an emergency and were of no help. In some cases, I waited more than 5 days for you to help; I waited literally weeks! Not to mention that that dog was pregnant, and when I took her, you never advised me that that was a possibility. So I ended up with eight puppies, when I agreed to one. It was never "clear to you" that our foster relationship had come to its conclusion and that I wished to step away. I quite literally told you that once I was back in my home, I would take the animals back if they still needed placement. I notified you on July 10th that I could not handle all of the puppies. You did not take them until July 18th, and that was only after I showed up to get their shots and microchips, and had to PLEAD with you to help me. I notified both of you that Rusty was a safety risk, and you literally did not care. Even after notifying you of the unsafe circumstances, it took you two days to take her, and that was only after I refused to give you any more leeway. That was also after I had notified you on July 10th that I could not handle all of the animals that I had. You did not take Rusty back until July 31st. I let you know on July 28th that I was having trouble getting the kittens adopted. I notified you on August 4th that we needed to move the kittens. You did not take them until August 15th. As for the spay/neuter, it's irresponsible for a rescue not to spay and neuter before adoption, regardless of any contract. I also asked, several times, about getting my fosters fixed, and you never followed through. Don't gaslight me. You did enough of that when I was actually fostering with you.

I never thought I'd pick up my dog from boarding and find him underfed and bleeding, but that's…read moreexactly what happened at Petsmart. I boarded him over Thanksgiving weekend, and while the ladies working there were very sweet, there was a huge miscommunication on their part. I left his food with a clearly labeled 1/3 cup scoop, and he eats 1.5 cups per day, yet they assumed the 1/3 scoop was a full cup and severely underfed him. He clawed at the metal gate so much that his paws started bleeding, and no one told me until I called them myself and even then, they barely answered the phone. I had to call multiple times just to reach someone. Since they don't let owners see the boarding area, I had no idea he was in a setup that stressed him out, and I wish someone had recommended upgrading him to a suite with a glass door. When I picked him up, he was noticeably skinnier, had dried blood on his paws and even had poop on his back paws. I feel incredibly guilty, like he thought I abandoned him and let him starve, and I will not be boarding him here again.

Most recently, Andrew called to let me know that Rex's ears looked a little inflamed and advised that I take him to the vet to get them checked out. Sure enough he had a bad ear infection in both ears! If I didn't have a grooming appointment I would have had no idea. I'm so happy with the service I am getting from Petco and will continue to take my pup there for haircuts. If you're looking for a specific groomer, Andrew is great!

WARNING‼ ZERO STARS SHOULD BE AN OPTION!…read more*On Thursday October 17th 2019, I dropped off my Zula, my Frenchie, at Go Dogs Go in Bellbrook for 5 days of boarding. *I paid up front for her boarding through Monday. I paid via Cashapp. *On Saturday October 19th 2019, at 5:42pm I looked at my phone and saw that I had two missed calls, a missed FaceTime call, along with a voicemail message from Donald Bolton, the owner of Go Dogs Go. I returned his call and learned of Zula's death. *Bolton told me that Zula along with 6-7 other larger dogs were left unattended in the back yard of his business "for 10-15 minutes" and when he returned, Zula's dead body was being dragged by a particular dog. I had met this dog before so this didn't make sense to me. He was a friendly dog, and he and Zula enjoyed playing together. *Mr. Bolton offered to cremate Zula the next day. I responded that I would pick her up the next day immediately upon landing, and not to destroy my dog. *My flight landed Sunday October 20th at 12:30 pm. I arrived home by 1:45 pm. I unloaded my car with the assistance of four close friends, and went to pick up Zula's body. *The five of us arrived to Go Dogs Go in Bellbrook at approximately 2:15pm *MR. BOLTON BROUGHT ZULA OUT TO ME IN A TRASH BAG! She was soaking wet. He said that he was washing her when we arrived. The sight of my Zula brought out in a trash bag destroyed me. *Bolton spoke graphically about Zula's head being almost ripped off. *Kelly Capasso, the Practice Manager of Bigger Road Veterinary Clinic took the trash bag with Zula's body to her car and brought blankets so that she and her mother would be able to present her to me to say goodbye before Kelly took Zula back to the clinic for autopsy reports. *Mr. Bolton told Kelly to send him the veterinary bill. *Mr. Bolton then told me that when I am ready for a new dog that he would pay for it. I learned later that this was not offered out of kindness, it's the law. There are plenty more frustrating details to this story, but what I need pet lovers to know is that the state of Ohio considers dogs property. Replacement of property is all that I was legally owed. Even though my Zula was left unattended with several large dogs, for hours, there were no criminal charges that could be filed. This was negligent as hell, but I had no legal recourse. Whether our dogs live or die in their care, the facilities remain protected by law AND THEY KNOW IT! All they legally owe us is the adjusted value of the dead pet, which Bolton's insurance has paid. **Mr. Bolton STILL refuses to refund me the money I paid him in advance for dog the weekend she was killed and beyond. . Payments were required in advance for daycare packages.** It's all about money. Beware!! #JusticeForZula Dr. Williams

I was concerned about my pup because she is a pup and has not been kenneled much. I asked them to call back since I knew they were open. They didn't. They texted the next day, saying all is fine. We just picked our pup up, Monday morning. They charged us for Tuesday. I guess I get that. The thing I don't get is that they brought her out and then said, "she didn't have any toys or anything did she?" We has taken 2 blankets, 2 bones and 1 toy. She went back and brought it all out then but I don't believe they had given it to her. It was still in the bag we brought it in. Blankets were still folded. It would have comforted her. When I gave all of these things to her at home she was so excited to see them again. I feel badly about her experience there.

I had taken training classes here with our dog and thought that we could trust them, as the classes were great. After returning home, we went to pick up our dog. First sign of something wrong should have been when the woman working there put on huge earphones just to walk in the kennel area. If it is that loud in there, imagine what it is doing to your dog. When our dog came out, he was very disoriented and and had dried feces all over his rear end. After taking him home and cleaning him up, he had raw open sores from where we removed the poop off of him. Prior to going into the kennel, he was very friendly, energetic, fun loving, basically one of the sweetest dogs you would ever meet. After returning home, he was extremely food aggressive and anytime that we would approach his crate when he was in it, he became aggressive...just not the same dog that we used to have. The only thing that I can guess is that he was put in a crate, inside of one of the kennel runs. He had to compete for food and learned to be aggressive. We have spent a lot of money trying to correct the behavior. If you love your dog, don't board him/her here. I wish I could have them shut down.
