    I wish I would have read all of the terrible reviews across various platforms, apps, and websites…read moreabout this rescue before I contacted them. I had the most bizarre, backwoods, deliverance music interaction with Pam. There aren't enough characters allowed in a Yelp review to even grace the surface of what a disaster this rescue is. They are highly unprofessional, they don't do what they say they are going to do, they have zero consideration, empathy, or respect for potential adopters, very unorganized, not thorough when assessing adopters, they do not do their due diligence, and Pam is an absolute nightmare. The things she said to me truly blew me away and left me speechless. Her behavior and comments were wildly inappropriate and disturbing. I can say from experience, all of the reviews about her are 100% accurate. She lacks considerable knowledge about dog behavior, dog health, animal rescue in general, and backyard breeding/puppy mills. She was erratic on the phone, oddly hyper and agitated, and jumping from passive aggressive to laughing at her "jokes". It was wild. There is something very, very wrong with this rescue and Pam.

    I received a call from Gail. She is the foster for the dog I was interested in. I want to preface…read moreby explaining that I have worked in rescue all of my life. I know how things work, policies, procedures, etc. I have been looking for a new dog to adopt for nearly 3 months. I have talked to dozens of rescues in that time on the phone and have had many meet and greets. All have been professional and friendly. To my surprise, this was not my experience with Gail. It was clear to me right away that she had not reviewed my application which is strange. I told her I was two hours and 15 minutes away because she didn't search my address to see where I lived. I told her what I did for work, who lived in the home, etc. I have a list of questions that I ask. These are simple questions like "how does she do with grooming? Noticed any aggression?" These are just some examples. After just a few questions, I asked another question and Gail snapped, very irritated, "you could be asking these questions at a meet and greet, but" and then went on to answer the question. This response took me back a bit. It was maybe 5 minutes in. Things seemed fine up until then. I acted as though she didn't say it and proceeded with my questions. Foster to potential adopter conversations are for asking questions. The meet and greet is to MEET the dog. Rescues that are reputable and responsible want potential adopters to ask as many questions as possible before the meet and greet for dozens of reasons. Some of the top reasons are to see if you are serious, to see if they even want to do a meet and greet with you, to see if they are wasting your time or there's, to see if you are truly a good fit, etc. Questions should be encouraged. Adopting a dog is a huge decision. Gail kept pushing me, not subtly, to stop asking questions and just come to her house. It was weird. You want me to drive 4 1/2 hours round trip to take time out of your day to ask you simple questions about a dog that you are fostering that could be asked right now? This is what I was thinking to myself. One simple question that she answers or I answer could tell us right now if it's a good fit or not. That's the point of the phone call. I continued to redirect these abrupt, passive aggressive, and unusual comments back to the dog. The purpose of the phone call. To get information about the dog. The entire time I was on the phone, the dog was whining. At one point, Gail called her an idiot which made me uncomfortable and feel sad. I asked Gail one more question, how has the dog been with her cats? Gail said, "fine, they just ignore each other". As with all other rescues I've spoken with, I requested video of the interaction to be texted to me to ensure my cat's safety. She laughed out loud for several seconds. Over the top, belly laughing. Like it was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard. I feel bad for her cats if that's how little she thinks of a cat's life and safety. I love my cat and the least I can do as her mom is to ensure that a dog that I am bringing into our home will not hurt her. I said nothing. Just sat there waiting for the madness to be over. She said, while still laughing, "I can, and I will take the video, but I just told you that she is good with cats. I have 9 of them." Instead of saying everything this miserable and angry woman clearly needs to hear, I said, "thank you so much". She said that she would send it now and to make a decision now because she needs the dog gone now. Her words exactly. I get this very grainy and fuzzy video of the dog and a cat. Just one cat in her lanai. The dog is VERY interested in the cat to the point that you can see in the video Gail actually takes her foot and nudges/kicks/taps her in the butt to get her to stop interacting with cat. There was no ignoring, it was a lot of interest. Gail's voice got very irritated with this poor dog and it was clear to me that there's a lot more going on here than meets the eye. The video ended as she went to go into her house, saying that she's looking for more cats to record. Never got a second video thinking that this tiny grainy video surely wasn't all. It was. After my bizarre interaction with Gail I went online and did some digging on this rescue. I found some interesting things. A very concerning article from a news source and dozens of negative reviews about Gail and Pam in particular which did not surprise me in the least. Lots of negative reviews about how they are running this "rescue" as well. I've copied an article. It documents many instances of the county and officers having to intervene and question the rescue on a variety of issues, policy violations, and illegal activity. https://www.wftv.com/news/9-investigates/9-investigates-animal-rescue-under-review-by-orange-county-animal-services/486214273/?outputType=amp There is something not right with these people. I am genuinely worried about this dog's safety and wellbeing and the other animals in their care.

    Warning Fancy Pets Groomer Injured Cat…read more I took my cat (Bagheera M1y) to the grooming salon Fancy Pets Grooming Boarding & Day Care located at Regal Center 870 S Sun Drive Suite 1042 Lake Mary FL 32746 on Friday evening at 4.30 PM for a bath. When I picked him up, I asked them if everything went well and they did not report anything to me. I paid the bill and a decent tip and got him home that's when I noticed his energy was down & he was hobbling . Upon closer inspection I noticed almost all nails on his hindlegs were bleeding (pics below). He was also shedding whiskers. I stopped the flow and rushed him to the urgent vet immediately who examined him. She confirmed that the nails were cut badly and one of them was splintered. She also mentioned that he shed whiskers because of the stress/trauma he went through at the salon. He was administered 2 shots for antibiotics and anti inflammatory and given 3 day dosage at home. He is currently in a collar for a week until all injuries are healed and currently not eating very well. It is heartbreaking to watch him hurt and in pain. I called the business on Saturday morning to explain the situation. Instead of offering a courtesy of empathy, one of the owners Manny Santiago denied that any such thing could have taken place. He refused to believe the mountain of evidence I emailed him along with the vet bills, medicines and nail pictures etc. The owner has not bothered to call me inspite of my repeated requests. They refused to re-imburse the vet expenses or their own grooming fees and have ghosted me. Do NOT use this business as they are extremely unprofessional and also do not care about the animals more than their bottom line. I hope no other fur baby or pet parent goes through this.
