    I always come to this shelter to check out the animals they have. I will not adopt anymore furry…read morepets since I already have 5 of my own, but I come here to give attention to the cats and dogs in residence. It's hard breaking to leave, but it's so worth it coming here and give a little loving to the animals without a family. The staff here seemed helpful and very friendly every time I visit. The place was clean and well kept. The shelter has separate areas for the cats and the dogs, I also like it that they have a lounge for anyone who wants to meet and get reacquainted with the animal. While I was at the dog area, I noticed blankets covering some cages. It's really a brilliant idea since some dogs seemed to have reactions with another dog. It helps the animal calm down I guess. If you have time- visit a shelter, who knows you might meet your furry child or four legged best friend.

    I am never fostering for Kenton County animal shelter again... I guess not by choice. But I also…read morewould not recommend anybody to do it for them. I had signed up to foster a couple dogs... one of the dogs did not work out. It needed a lot more attention and care than I realize I could handle. I had reached out at four in the morning, almost 5 stating that I don't think I can keep this dog another night because of said issues... the coordinator then pretty much told me that maybe fostering isn't for me. If I can't handle a few more days with the dog then I shouldn't foster. Which initially I was thinking about trying to push off a few more days, but like I mentioned, this dog has a lot more to him than I had realized. So I texted her and let her know that I was in route and on my way. And essentially, since I decided to bring this dog back, I am now blacklisted and can no longer adopt any dogs or foster there. And I had to bring the other one back too even though I mentioned I could keep him still multiple of times. This was not my understanding of what fostering is or how it works or how it's done... I was trying to open up my home. And do something good. And clearly it backfired. Just thought I would warn people that if you decide to foster, and if you decide even after a day that a dog is not a good fit for you and your family that you will no longer be allowed to foster or adopt.

    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.

    Hello, I have been taking my dog to Petwow since she was a…read morepuppy and always had good experience in 2020. I had a stroke and then I was homebound so I had to use the mobile unit for a few years well last year while here on a home visit, something happened to my dog in that truck.she's not the same dog and she does not trust me. She does not trust Petwow anymore. I had to move her to a different vet. Because when I take her there, they have to sedate her to even examine her and I'm not doing that to her anymore She's 10 years old something happened. I don't know what because I wasn't there but my dogs actions prove that something happened to her she's generally a very sweet girl and she is not because of this she doesn't trust me anymore either so it's been difficult. Her personality change is very hard to accept. Anyway, I hope whatever happened to my dog doesn't happen to anyone else. Have a great day.

    Always happy with my visits here. Never have to wait long for an appointment and they never keep us…read morewaiting long once we are there. My dog needed an antibiotic and when I came to pick it up it was in liquid form and really expensive. Without me having to ask, the girl at the front desk asked the vet if they could switch it to tablets which was way cheaper and way easier for my dog to take. I was so impressed and happy with how it was handled and happy that I didn't have to pay extra. I believe her name is Raven, she was working the front desk and helped with switching the meds. I told her I was heading to an appointment and would have to come back to pick up the meds. She sent me a text to let me know that the meds were able to be switched to tablets and that they were ready to be picked up.
