Woof River sets the standard for how rescue organizations should be run. When we adopted our…read moreyoungest dog from them a few years ago they were thorough in their review of us as dog owners, and then, once approved, were thorough in helping us decide that our selected pick was the right one for our family. Chatting with the foster dad was key in understanding what to expect when our dog was sent up North. When we recently lost our older dog, I contacted Woof River to help us in our search because they are so trustworthy. One of the things I respect most about Woof River is that they are concerned about find the right match -- not just finding a home. And that might mean being disappointed that the dog who caught your eye is not the dog you should bring home. We continue to search for our next dog, and I hope we will find him/her through Woof River.

Dr Lapova is nothing short of amazing! She is ALWAYS there for my crew whenever we need her. I have…read moreyet to find a more knowledgeable vet. Which, with me being a bit of a Doberman snob (except it's not "a bit" at all ) and with me being super picky with whom I trust my dogs with, to sing praises of any given vet is an absolute rarity on my part. As a client, I'm actually a vet's worst nightmare - I would assume, because I second guess everything and love to do my own research. Like I said... I'm a snob. It is what it is... Dr Lapova is the only vet I've come across in the continental US that I trust my dogs with INDEFINITELY. The entire staff is always patient, kind and fair even with people like me, the facility is always clean, the pricing is super reasonable especially for the quality of care the animals (and owners) receive. Most importantly, Dr Lapova and her staff treat every client as a member of their family! If I could give them 10 stars I would, but as 5 is the max I'll settle for it!

My dog loves it here. Its not the fanciest or biggest place, but it's a nice, family-run business,…read moreand they love my dog. She trained here as a puppy and goes to daycare (or "school") a few times a week. I've boarded her here a couple times, too. I tried one of the newer places a couple times to see if my girl would like the pool or bigger yard...nope. She wants to come here and see Meredith and Kaley and all her doggo friends she's known since she was a pup. What a relief to have somewhere reliable, with people who care about you and your dog.

I did lots of research prior to purchasing a new puppy. I was determined to make the right…read moredecisions when purchasing and training my new puppy. I thought I had picked the ideal dog. My new puppy, Shiner, was not interested in being the ideal dog. She was full of energy and had difficulty in paying attention. I tried everything I could possibly think of to help motivate her into a functioning member of my household. I spent 10 minutes on the phone with Meridith Caver of The Polished Pooch and knew she would be able to help. Meridith Caver is amazing. After the first session, Shiner was able to sit. Meridith is great at explaining what Shiner worked on during the day and what we should do at home to help further her training. We have learned how to make Shiner a part of the family, not the master of the house. We still have work to do, and we know Meridith will be there to help us alone the way. Shiner is a different dog since she started puppy school with Meridith. In the mornings when Shiner has puppy school/day camp, she is excited and knows where she is going. When she sees Meridith and Debra, she gets so excited to go and play. I feel very comfortable allowing my Shiner to go to puppy school/day camp w/ The Polished Pooch. The staff cares about your baby, just like you do!

Most recently, my 9-year-old Shih Tzu mix had a dental cleaning, and Dr. Rucker was amazing. He kept me updated on his dental health, explained everything clearly, and gave great advice on how to take care of his teeth moving forward. It really made me feel confident that my dog was in great hands. You can tell the team truly cares about the animals they treat. I'm very grateful for the care they've given my dogs over the years. Highly recommend Dr. Rucker Dr. Haddock Dr.Washington and the entire staff!

A friend asked the other day if Orson freaked out when I took him to the vet. He doesn't. He's…read moreexcited to go to the vet. He cries if they take too long to come and get him out of the car. Everyone loves him and takes such good care of him. When the pandemic started, they changed operating procedures to keep their staff safe, which meant that parents couldn't go in with their fur babies. I was concerned that he would be scared and was nervous about not being able to be with him. The vets always come out to the car to let me know what's going on and what they're doing for him, to hear any concerns I may have, and to communicate to ensure that we're on the same page. A few weeks ago, we saw some of the staff members out in public. They recognized Orson and he was giving them so many kisses. It was just more reassurance that they were taking great care of my baby. We've been with this location for 2 years and have even left him for doggy day care a few times; I drive from Bartlett to take him Downtown for his appointments. He's always been happy to go back, whether to play or get shots, and it makes me so happy to know they're taking care of all of their patients with love.

Since working with Drew, our two dogs are completely different…read more Ziggy is a 7-year-old 100-pound mutt, who still acts like a puppy. Because of his size, and how excited he could get, he was really hard to walk, and whenever he saw another dog, he would pull my arm off. My wife refused to walk him, and I rarely did. Over the years, we tried many things (classes, special collars, other dog trainers), but just gave up, figuring you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Hank is a 2 year old Brittany who we rescued as a 1-year old. He never learned basic obedience, and it became very frustrating to try to communicate what we wanted. Enter Drew. We enrolled both dogs in the In Home - Off Leash Training. Drew came pretty much every day to our house for about an hour or two while we were at work for "as long as it takes", which ended up being about 5 weeks. He was very flexible, and worked around our schedule. After the 5 week in home training, Drew showed us how to do everything, and for the next several weeks, our dogs learned how to trust us to train them. Now both dogs walk perfectly behind me without pulling on walks. If they see another dog, they just keep walking, and don't pull or jump or bark (this one still amazes... if you could have seen them before!). I even feel comfortable enough to take both dogs at the same time! At the park, they will come when called. They can sit and stay, and be patient. It's kind of incredible to have such well behaved dogs! Sure, the training is expensive, but it really works. In my opinion it's worth every penny, because we have happier dogs, and way less stress.
