The small containers they are in are to blame, however, I can't blame the containers for lack of food either. Although gross insects, they need to be fed in order for them to be healthy for reptiles to consume. The beta fish always make me sad. However, this is most stores. The containers they are in are too small, however, this location I can't really blame them. They have a lot of stuff for how cramped the space is. They do have a lot of pet food options and have an adoptable kitty in the front. They just can't really keep things for reptiles. However, their small animal and bird selection is fairly decent, and they seem to have a lot for small animals, which is nice to see.

I wanted to warn people about this particular rescue we adopted our rat terrier from…read more There have been multiple issues including the fact that before we started fostering our dog we repeatedly let them know that biting was not something we could handle. The day we pick him up after a 3 hour delay, he is almost microchipped a second time, I'm informed he bites. The other day he snapped at my partner and contacted the rescue about what to do and they showed zero empathy or accountability and said that if I sent photos of him they could put him on petfinder. In their rescue headline it says that coordinators were available for help and guidance however, during my time of fostering I wasn't given any instruction, no one checked in with me and the treasurer of the organization also added pressure for me to sign and pay the fee for his adoption and made a remark that he wasn't my dog until I had signed everything, when I had only started fostering him for 2 weeks. This rescue is full of people who are unfit to work with people and the lack of transparency about his behaviours is concerning for further adopters. It left a bitter taste in my mouth and I feel as someone who has managed a non profit that even if they are operating at capacity they are not meeting the minimum of making sure the homes the dogs go to are prepared. Very irresponsible.

We adopted our Jack Russell/Chihuahua/Australian Cattle Dog mix from the Jack Russell Network of…read moreCanada (JRNC) in November 2020. This dog should never have been adopted to a city dweller. He spent the first 6 years of his life in a country setting, where he was allowed out for the whole day and only came in at night. When we got him, he had been neutered just a few months earlier, and his tail was amputated. In the shelter he was first put into, he chewed his tail to the point that it became infected and had to be removed. Our home is in the middle of the city, with access to a small back yard, and 3 walks per day. Obviously this was not what he was used to and it was difficult for him to adjust. He was reactive to other dogs, lunging, barking and growling. Walks were never very pleasant. As time went by, he became more frustrated and eventually he attacked our adult daughter. He launched at her with his jaws around her nose and wouldn't release until my husband shouted at him. Fortunately our daughter didn't need stitches, just antibiotics. It wasn't his fault, I had brought a bit of food to him and my daughter bent over to pet him at the same time. According to an animal behaviourist I spoke to, the dog did not attack. What he did was to give a warning. We finally surrendered him back to the JRNC after more aggressive behaviour towards both of our adult children. And then we saw his profile on Petfinder, where they were saying he was good with older children and other dogs. Our family was shocked as we had told them in our email and on the surrender document that the dog should be in a rural home and no children. Our fear is that if he were to bite a child, then he would be put down. He doesn't deserve that. I emailed JRNC about our concerns and the only reply was from one of the coordinators who thought she was talking to the director. We were referred to as being a pain, and that we should be told not to contact them anymore. Please think twice about adopting from this rescue. They are rescuing too many dogs without the proper resources to help these dogs adjust. Many of the dogs are coming from Texas and Louisiana.

It was always a great deal at only 10.00, shampoo and conditioner in the sprayer, dog brushes, dog scrubbers to help wash, 2 towels and an apron for you. Loved it, Today I go there and find the price doubled to 20.00. I thought ok, it was still a good deal to me, much easier then at home. I paid the price and was given 2 towels, they did not have any aprons, hmmm ok fine no worries. I them get to the tub, it was not very clean, there was no brush or scrubber and you had to use a pump shampoo because they had no shampoo and conditioner for the hose machine. Now I know these are first world problems but really double the price and no supplies anymore hmmm I'm not happy and don't think I will be returning even to have my dog groomed there.

We were new puppy parents and dealing with recurrent eye infections, a skin condition and a possible diagnosis of entropion without ANY actual conversation with the vet. We had SO many questions about food, treatments, vaccinations; and literally we would get a print off of something from the internet with a "let us know if you want to do these optional vaccinations". The BEST thing we did was take our puppy to Blue Cross. The vet is on the phone with you while they are examining your pet (because of covid). They answered every last question we had and thoroughly explained the optional vaccinations and discussed why (based on lifestyle) some may be worth considering. We have had a different vet each time we have had to bring Hagrid in, but they are all amazing. We couldn't be happier with the care he receives here. They are obviously extremely knowledgeable and caring. Highly recommend.
