Animal Lifeline Corporation, Inc. in Bellmore, NY is a non profit, tax exempt 501(c)3 animal…read morerescue incorporated in 1977 for the purpose of aiding the animals. Their mission is to save and home as many cats and dogs as possible. This an extraordinary animal rescue. I have been in the cat rescue circle for over 20 years and have worked with many rescues through my website, and volunteer for a local rescue. Over the years I have heard glowing reports about Animal Lifeline Corporation but never knew anyone there as they are on Long island and I am in Brooklyn. About a month ago the president of Animal Lifeline Corporatipn contacted me and asked if I would make them a web site which I agreed to do. (http://animal-lifeline-corp.com ) It was only then that I learned just how good they are. To begin with, they are one of the very few rescues that does not ask for an adoption fee. All they ask for is a donation of whatever you can afford. This is very unusual. Most rescues have high adoption fees. What this says to me is that the animals are more important than money, and the concern of Animal Lifeline is to find them good homes. They do not have a shelter and do not take in pets that people no longer want. They rescue strays from the streets and have several fosters who take care of them. Animal Lifeline Corp is very active with their TNR program. After trapping and vetting (which includes spay/neutering, checking for diseases, and other medical care) some ferals will always remain feral. These animals are returned to their original sites and fed and monitored. By curtailing the breeding cycles they greatly help to reduce the appalling number of strays killed in local shelters. I'd give this group 10 Stars if I could!

On 6/6/24 I went to visit the Babylon Animal Shelter (BAS) to see if a found dog was one that was…read morelost from Manhattan, NYC, in November, 2023. While the pup was not the dog we were looking for, the staff at the shelter made the experience a positive one, under the most distressing circumstances. Here's what's good about the shelter: 1. When most shelters don't pick up the phone or require you to leave a message and call you back, sometimes hours later, not only did BAS pick up the phone to talk to the lost pup's (Rosie, the Mini Goldendoodle) mom, but they looked at her Instagram fotos to see if the found pup might be a match. The BAS staff talked a lot among themselves to share thoughts and ultimately suggested that Rosie's mom come in to see the found pup. 2. When we arrived at BAS, the staff could not have been nicer. They handled our team of 3 women's emotions with great empathy, knowing that we were either going to experience a miracle or another distressing loss, if the found pup wasn't a match. 3. While the found pup was not a match for our missing Rosie, the staff gave us ample time to really be certain. They were kind and patient. 4. As you can imagine, we've been to a number of shelters in search of Rosie. What was remarkable about BAS was the following: -While many shelters wreak of urine or "animal scent" - we noted immediately, that bad odors were not present. The place is clean and organized. - We also noticed that the room that we went into with about 10 dogs, was quiet. There are no dogs incessantly barking or crying and whining. The volume of noise is so loud at some shelters that you can't even have a conversation - because especially the dogs are barking non-stop. It was actually quite stunning. The dogs seemed content and not agitated. - Each pup had their own clean bedding and did not have to sleep or lay down on a hard metal floor. The pup we saw even had a dog bed in her crate. It's a lot of work to keep that bedding clean, as you can imagine. 5. When we left, we could see the team anxiously awaiting our decision about a match. And while it was not, the young woman who took us back to the kennels was optimistic and shared her hopes that Rosie would be found. It was uplifting to hear, given we were all on the verge of tears having been disappointed again. I just had to leave a review given the positive vibe BAS has all around, from the observable care of the animals, the cleanliness of the facility and the well trained and good mannered staff - they made a tough situation a lot less hard. Thank you to the BAS staff!

I saw at least three veterinarians there for months and paid for care. My pet declined after all…read morethat, instead of getting better. You left for the holiday weekend and provided a hospital in Suffolk County. You did not provide a diagnosis and an actual treatment plan. If you did, email it to me. Perhaps you should not "ramble" in inefficient care with several doctors there, and actually be competent to do your job. I did not pay at Blue Pearl because she was very thin. The CPR would have caused her pain and would not have meant she would live long, or at all, based on your inadequate treatment. And yes, the CPR is expensive. When you go to a veterinarian and see several of them in a "hospital," you expect a thorough diagnosis and treatment. The only responsibility I have is not following my intuition and taking her elsewhere. Yes, I do think veterinarians' often exorbitant bills leading owners to euthanize pets (when they can chip in for patients coming there for years) is immoral. I have more than enough funds for my present cat, but if you paid me millions of dollars, I would not bring her there. I read several reviews where bills were outrageous with no or the wrong diagnosis rendered. To Hernandez: Rather than ramble on talking down to people you think have less money than you do, focus on why after at least $2000 and three veterinarians later, I had nothing close to a definitive diagnosis or treatment. My cat had severe diarrhea with a voracious appetite. Clearly, her capillaries were not absorbing nutrients. from her small intestine. Did you find the etiology? You had blood and stool tests, and at least one ultrasound. Your solution was a duck and venison diet for three months, and go to emergency care [because you are incompetent]. She died before that. You should have been closed years ago after a thorough investigation, and look forward to the day you will be closed. What comes around goes around, and pets are children, so be wary.

I have been going to this place for a decade and have had many animals cared for here. Over the…read morecourse of the last 7 years I had a dog who developed diabetes and died a year and a half after diagnosis and my dog now has addisons disease. I have spent well over 50,000k there just for those two dogs alone. I brought my dog there for some bloodwork because I suspected he had diabetes and was right around the corner. It was a Sunday. The vet who was there at the time was in a rush to leave cause they closed at 3. Even though I brought him in hours before closing, he wasn't cooperating on giving blood because he was scared to death. Needless to say, she called me and told me to come pick up my dog because he was being a bad boy and since they were closing they would have to try again tomorrow. I should have went somewhere else at that point just for her attitude alone but I didnt. By the next morning he went into keto acidosis and I rushed him there without even calling and another vet took his lethargic body into to the back room. I was then informed of their estimate which was $4000 and in order for them to even examine him I would have to give them $1000 deposit to do any kind of work on him. I was so upset and angry because I literally could not take him somewhere else because he would have died. I gave them the grand and waited to hear the worst. Of course he had diabetes but the vet who's name I wont mention did save him from dying and took over his care. She was very good with him and she did the best she could until he died of acute pancreatitis a year and a half later, even though he was well regulated on his insulin and diet. In that time I was billed $31000 total. Which i paid in full. Then I got another dog and started to bring her there. And all was good with her the first 2 years until she developed addisons disease. Over the course of the last two years I have been billed ridiculous amounts of money for all kinds of tests, and even the follow up visits after the tests. These last few months I can't get any straight answers as to what is happening with her and they keep jamming me up with more tests. Oh and basically blaming me for her being over weight even though she is on steroids every single day and an additional shot of steroids once a month. She literally only eats a half a can of weight management food per day. 1/4 in the morning and 1/4 at night. Practically nothing!! In the past 2 months its cost me over 2000k. Im done. I went to another vet today 2 towns over and was charged a third of what bellerose charges for the same exact tests. Never again. The compassion you think you're seeing there, is to get you to spend all of your money. And God forbid you question it, they try to make you feel guilty for not caring enough for your pet because you can't afford their ridiculous fees. The vaccinations are ridiculously priced as well. I stayed out of convenience because of the close proximity to my house. No more. Id rather drive 100 miles than to be as over charged as ive been there.
