On April 11, I adopted a very sweet brown tabby cat through the organization, PetsAlive. I named…read moremy new cat Theodore and was told that Theo had been found on the streets and had recently had scabies, eye surgery and skin issues - all of which seemed to be healing nicely. I was never told of his extensive dental disease or that he had feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). I noticed that Theo's energy level seemed a little low, but he was eating very well and didn't display any signs of digestive issues. I DID notice that his breath was very smelly, so I took him to my veterinarian. The long story made short is that Theo will have to have several teeth extracted and his length and quality of life could be affected because bloodwork showed that he is positive for FIV. I have requested that PetsAlive take care of the dental issues Theo has since I can't afford thousands of dollars for teeth to be extracted. My concern of permanently returning Theo to PetsAlive is that his cycle of being an unwanted rescue cat will continue. His life could be one of going from adoption site to adoption site and never being adopted because of his bad teeth and FIV diagnosis. Please be aware that, according to my veterinarian, there are several no kill shelters that DON'T test animals for FIV or leukemia. Before you adopt an animal, please ask if the animal has been thoroughly tested for diseases that could affect the animal's health and wellbeing.

When it was time to…read morearrive for my appointed time to pick up the puppy, she took the time to give us information on how to be cautious about their early immune systems, and that she followed AKC scheduling of vaccination. She went over anything you may have thought you had a question about, without issue, and was incredibly patient with other adoptees that had shown up tardy. The facility was clean and organized as, she also has other operations that she manages as well. She has dedicated her life the Standard Poodle Breeding industry, AKC and also Poodle Rescue Operation. My puppy is a fine animal, and absolutely dedicated to me instantly, he seems to take his role in my life pretty seriously, although, I have never seen such a rounded personality like this in a dog before. He is healthy, very happy fella, and full of love and pawsitive energy. I would be honored to return to this breeder in the future someday to adopt another poodle from her. I am grateful and very pleased with my beautiful boy. Thank you.

You will not find prices this good anywhere else. Just a heads up though, this clinic is really for preventative care only, so things like deworming, microchipping, vaccinations, flea meds, all the basic stuff to keep your fur babies healthy. One thing I thought was awesome is that they take Apple Pay and Google Pay. They're also really timely and honest, and they even gave us a few recommendations for other clinics in case we needed anything more serious done. The whole place is very clean and the lobby is big and quiet which I really appreciate. The only issue I had wasn't even their fault. Some pet owners just don't know how to control their dogs. A girl came in with her dog and it tried to run at my cats while they were in their carriers in the cat area. Thankfully my cats didn't freak out and nothing happened, but that's on the owner, not this clinic. Overall everyone here makes you feel welcome and the service was way better than I expected. I'll definitely be back and Milo and Eclipse thank you guys for taking such good care of us . Y'all are doing amazing .

Today we visited Houston SPCA because we wanted to adopt a small dog. As soon as we walked in, we…read morecompletely fell in love with Sophie, an 11-week-old Labrador puppy. She was absolutely adorable. We were interacting with her, and like any normal puppy, she was playful and chewing on my jeans. I picked her up for a moment. At that point, a tall, blonde, white volunteer with a heavier build came over, took Sophie from us, and simply said, "I'll be right back, stay here," without giving us any explanation. We waited for a long time with no information at all. No one came to tell us what was happening or if there was any issue. Eventually, Will G., the manager, approached us and told us that the volunteer had reported that we made "rough movements" with the puppy and that our adoption could be denied. This was completely shocking because it is simply not true. If we had done something incorrectly, we would have appreciated someone respectfully explaining the proper way to handle such a young puppy instead of making false accusations behind our backs. The volunteer gave information that did not reflect what actually happened and lied about the situation. Her lack of communication, professionalism, and honesty completely ruined what should have been a happy experience. We came with the genuine intention of giving a puppy a loving home, but instead we left feeling embarrassed, judged, and extremely disappointed. The only person who treated us with kindness and respect was Giselle at the front desk. She was professional, welcoming, and genuinely helpful from the moment we arrived. Unfortunately, the volunteer's behavior completely overshadowed that positive first impression. Will G. also failed to handle the situation fairly. Instead of listening to both sides or trying to understand what had happened, he immediately accepted the volunteer's version of events without giving us an opportunity to explain. That was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I truly hope Houston SPCA provides better training for its volunteers and managers on how to communicate with potential adopters and how to handle concerns fairly and professionally. One person's behavior can completely ruin an experience that should be about helping animals find loving families. We came excited to adopt and left heartbroken because of how this situation was handled.

The amount of money this dog costs and the amount of issues it has physically and behaviorally is absurd. Permanent ligament damage due to deformed bones. Can't even take this dog on a walk without him collapsing, then can't walk for a day or two after. He been to two trainers, one of which is a hound dog trainer, and both apologized to me due to the fact that he couldn't grasp anything and was mentally "different" than the others and had physical limitations even as a puppy that aren't normal. He has three testicles and the most respected vet in town said "I have been doing this for 30 years and this is the most amazing perplexing dog I've ever seen, I'm so sorry". Even other Basset Hound owners in a club I am apart of have said I have been sold an overbred dog. Not sure if that's the case however I've been skeptical since seeing him and a two vets opinions. Not to mention seeing other bassets which showed me how the Basset I have is not normal or healthy. Again, the breeder was very kind and I'm sure others who have gotten his dogs have got very good and healthy Bassets, but I have not. He does not even look like those put in these reviews. This has been a very rough experience, this being my third puppy, very disappointed.
