We filled out an application, met the pup and foster mom, and then patiently waited for her to be old enough to come home with us. We spent almost 12 love-filled years spoiling that dog. She was our firstborn, a big sister to our 9-year-old human, my co-worker, our snuggle bug, a dedicated protector of this home, and one of the quirkiest, most intelligent, and most loving souls to grace this earth. Baby Dandelion Christian passed on Monday, Dec. 2nd, after a gallant fight with a rare colon cancer. We continue to appreciate organizations like this and will continue to support their efforts to give all dogs a chance at life.

I have always adopted from rescues when looking for a dog to join our family. I have used Lucky…read moreDog Animal Rescue 2 times in the past with great results. But it was not the same experience with K-9 Lifesavers. A standard application question is what would make you return the dog? My answer has always been the same- if it were vicious. And I would define vicious as "biting someone when unprovoked and without any warning (ie. a growl, a bark)". 48 hours after adopting a dog from them she went after our cleaning lady despite my husband and our other dog being right there. I called the foster right away to discuss this incident and did not receive a call back. The next day, the dog bite my stepmother breaking the skin in multiple places. Again, unprovoked and without any warning. So I returned the dog which broke my heart. When my husband returned her- the foster shared that she had gone after a delivery person in her home, information that was not shared with us before or during the adoption process. Had we known, we would not have adopted her, as I believe all things are trainable but we don't have the skills to train vicious. Was told that the AC would call me the next day about a refund- a week later I had to call her. And she got the foster on the phone and together they defended their decision to adopt out this dog by reminding me that they told me about the dog's issues -she would need to be introduced to new people slowly. Which is different than - she tries to bite all new people and sometimes she succeeds. Instead of considering this dog a candidate for intensive training for biting, something that would make her a safer dog to adopt- they have simply chosen to place her back up for adoption right away. Buyer Beware!

We adopted a very sweet dog from the Fredericksburg Animal Shelter. She was described as a…read more7-year-old mixed breed who enjoyed playing but was also happy to sit quietly indoors with us. We are an elderly couple and reside in an over 55 community, so we did not want a dog that was too energetic. She is a sweet dog, and we love her and are trying our best to work with her. That is the good part. Hint: We found a vet who agreed to work with us/her. The vet prescribed Prozac for anxiety. NOW! This SPCA seems to be a sloppy organization. 1. When we got there, a staff member pointed to a door and said that we could go there and see the animals. We didn't need a lot of directions, but we had to find the dogs on our own by following our own noses. 2. We had to wait a long time to meet the dog. 3. The answer to every question about the dog was, "I don't know." 4. The paperwork we received about the dog described her as 2 years old and gray. Her age on the cage was 7 and she IS brown. When the inaccuracy of the paperwork was brought to their attention, the answer was "that's ok". 5. We were ignorant and just accepted the mixed breed description. Mixed breed, perhaps but many people have stated that she looks like a pit. This has caused us a lot of grief in our over 55 community. 6. We were told her bad points are she doesn't like her butt touched & is afraid of syringes. Truth: Although she is a sweetheart to us and other people, she will not tolerate any vet. 7. She was so dirty when we got her that before going home, we had to take her immediately to PetSmart for a bath. 8. PetSmart could not bathe her with the neck collar from the shelter on and it was so tight that they were unable to get it off. The collar was so tight that my husband had to cut it off. Poor dog. How could any shelter allow a collar to be that tight?! This shelter should be investigated regarding truth in advertising and animal care.

We hired Novac to trap and remove the squirrels and install drip edge to prevent additional squirrels from coming in. Well, the first two weeks they were on top of things. They removed a couple of squirrels. Not long after, additional squirrels took up residency in the attic. I contacted Novac to find out when they were coming back to remove the squirrels. After a few weeks and repeated calls/text messages, they haven't come back. I asked them to refund the money we paid up front since the job wasn't finished and the drip edge wasn't installed but after a month and a half, I haven't heard from them so I had to call another wildlife removal company.

Okay, first let me start by saying that we absolutely love our puppy. I do agree that the…read moreenclosures they are kept in are quite disheartening, and I'm grateful I was able to bring him home with me. I wouldn't trade him for anything. Now, let's chat. I was pleased to hear from Bonnie, the owner, inquiring whether I had followed the health screening agreement as required. We took "Nick," now Benjamin, to be seen within the time frame outlined in the contract. After his visit, I was informed that he had a parasite in his stool. I immediately notified Bonnie, who offered me a store credit. While I thought that was a kind gesture, I do not live in the area, so it would not benefit me. Furthermore, I was only being informative, as required by the agreement--I wasn't seeking anything. Since she offered, I simply asked if there was an alternative given my location. She insisted on store credit only and asked for the records and invoice, which I provided. Again, I clarified that I was not requesting compensation. After that exchange, however, Bonnie stopped communicating altogether. She never inquired about whether Benjamin was ill from the parasite or showed any concern for his well-being. I found that quite disappointing. The parasite is contracted by consuming rodents, infected feces etc. That doesn't say much about his dwellings prior to being adopted.

Then they are closed Monday's so we called on Tuesday and the cat we adopted is gone!!! I'm so heartbroken that the cat is gone and they won't do anything to resolve the situation.

They offered to take the cat we picked up back but let's take in account they wasted our time going to a vet and now we have to go to a vet again and shelter again to get another cat. I had to change my review after this because me and my husband are so upset at the carelessness of the paperwork. We really had our hearts set on that cat. They also said they will pay the vet bill to get a new cat neutered but how is that compensation when we just paid to neuter one of there cats!? We also had to drive back and forth to centerville to pick this cat up. I'm sure some future person will get told to pay to neuter that cat and then they will pocket the money since that's how corrupt this place is.

I purchased a puppy to train as a service dog from Storybrooke goldens about four or five months…read moreago. Since I brought him home, he has suffered with recurrent treatment resistant Giardia. He was vomiting from the time. We drove him home and had very little appetite for weeks. Because of this he is very likely to be extremely stunted in his growth meaning that his job of being a mobility service dog is in jeopardy of not being a viable option so I have spent almost $4000 on a puppy that was meant to be healthy, which I am too attached to to send back, who is most likely not gonna be able to help me in the way that he was supposed to. I informed the breeder that he was positive for Giardia as soon as I found out because I wanted them to know in case they had other families reporting G.I. issues with other puppies. In my opinion, a reputable breeder should respond to that by saying "please send us the bill for any treatment the puppy might need and we will cover it" (I've spoken to other people who's breeder had litters with Giardia, and as soon as that breeder found out, all the owners were contacted immediately and the breeder offered to cover treatment without being asked, so it's definitely not unheard of). That is not what happened. I have since treated my puppy with dewormer and antibiotics four times and he is still positive for Giardia, still having diarrhea, and still not growing properly. This dog was expected to be between 75 and 80 pounds like his dad and now his projected growth is less than 55 pounds. I emailed the breeder a week ago going over the whole situation from start to finish and giving them an itemized list of what I have spent trying to treat him and my home for Giardia. I have not heard anything and it has been a full week since I sent that email. They have not responded in any way, nor have they reimbursed me for the almost $1000 I have spent on treating this. When I first brought him home, I had every intention of recommending this breeder to others and of getting future dogs from them, both service dogs or pet dogs, however the lack of appropriate response to this situation has made me lose all trust and respect in them as a breeder. I will never get another dog from this breeder. I will never get another puppy from a breeder without requiring a Giardia test to be negative within a few days of picking up the dog. I originally really liked the breeder. They seemed very nice. They had a beautiful home that was extremely clean despite the number of dogs that they had and they seem to know what they were talking about, as well as having produced other therapy and service dogs previously, but I no longer can recommend them after the way the situation has played out. Please be very wary before purchasing a dog from these people. They sell puppies for $3500 and clearly are turning out puppies with treatment resistant Giardia. Upon further research, I am far from the only person who got a puppy from them that was infected with Giardia, I've found posts as far back as 2018 about this. I thought I had done my due diligence, but now I would definitely call them a backyard breeder/puppy mill. They also lied about having certain health clearances, ghost anyone who reaches out with issues, and may or may not inbreed their dogs. Multiple people said their puppies had hip or elbow dysplasia as well. If I could give them zero stars, I would. They scammed a disabled woman on a fixed income out of almost $4000. They should be ashamed of themselves.
