Luckily Jason and an assistant were able to get the rabbit and kept it in their dog only facility for a few days until pick up could be scheduled. They are a great shelter that works with people to rescue animals, even if they are not dogs. Hats off to Jason and his team.

This is our first visit to Augie's. I made the appt by calling and leaving a message. Gary called…read moreme back the same day and made the appt for next day. Salon was small, cozy, and it showed how much love he had for animals. Gary was very friendly and knowledgeable and has been taking care of pets for a long time (25 years, If I recall). He made us feel very comfortable leaving our pup. My dog, Onyx, is half Maltese and half dachshund, and he has a history of nipping people when they walk through the door. Gary understood my dogs anxiety and did a great job of introducing himself and no one got nipped. He did a great job with the grooming and nail trimming. He was also very quick; 1.5 hours, which is very fast because Onyx is usually at the groomers for at least 3 hours! Price was very reasonable. I will be returning with my dogs in the future.

We cannot recommend Willette Ragdol in Massachusetts enough!…read more We brought home our first Ragdoll, Jetty, from Bette and immediately fell in love. He is the sweetest, most loyal and affectionate boy -- confident, gentle, and clearly raised with incredible care and love. His temperament alone speaks volumes about Bette's breeding program. We loved him so much that a year later we welcomed our sweet girl, Jovie, into our family. She is just as well-adjusted, loving, and beautiful. It's evident that Bette not only understands breeding, but truly understands family and the importance of raising kittens in a nurturing, intentional environment. What truly sets Willette Ragdol apart is Bette's continued support. She is always available for advice, encouragement, enrichment ideas, and keeps her families informed about health updates, product recalls, and important veterinary information. Her commitment to her "kids" lasts a lifetime. If you are looking for a Ragdoll breeder in New England who leads with knowledge, integrity, and heart, Willette Ragdol is exceptional. We are so grateful for Jetty and Jovie -- they have brought endless love into our home.

Get ready for a novel! If I could give WilletteRagdol infinity stars I absolutely would! My husband…read moreand I contacted Bette after our late ragdoll, Frank, passed away of cancer. Immediately, she was so empathetic and cared enough to listen to our grief, asked questions, and was genuinely sorry for our loss. After talking for a bit about the breed and her process, we knew we wanted to wait for two WilletteRagdol ragdolls. I had been doing research and was in contact with other breeders, but going with Bette and WilletteRagol felt like the right choice immediately. While we waited Bette was very communicative about the timeline and kept us informed of any updates. She also listened to my ramblings about my late boy often! I texted her so often since first contact that I should have paid her a counseling fee. She cares for her parents deeply, as they will be caring for her kids for their entire life. The day we got to pick our two babies was one of the happiest of my life! We ended up picking a blue bi-color boy, and a blue mitted girl from different litters so they lived in different rooms. I was worried about them not bonding since they weren't from the same litter, but Bette knows what she is doing. In between picking the kittens and pick up day we received weekly photos or videos, which was greatly appreciated and kept us sane while waiting for pick up day. By the time pickup day arrived, the wait had turned out to be just right for us--we needed time to grieve the loss of Frank, and by then, we felt ready for our babies. We picked them up on Sunday, and the experience was so pleasant! Bette and her husband Rick were so kind and informative, at this point it was like meeting family since I've been contacting so much. The folders they give are also filled with information so left very few questions. You can tell how much they care for each of their kids from first contact, but especially by the way they said goodbye. Such love and care is put into each kitten! We're on day 3 now and they are adjusting beautifully. It did not take them long at all to start warming up to us and they were rubbing up against us within an hour of being home. Bringing home two was the best decision because they are such buddies! It's lovely seeing their relationship between playing and cuddling up together. And they have such different personalities, it's funny to interact with them and watch them interact. I still communicate with Bette with questions and pictures and it is so nice to have the support to know I can text her and she will happily answer. We are so honored to have been chosen and to be able to be these perfect babies' parents. My heart feels so full for the first time since losing our late boy and we are so in love already. The wait is absolutely worth it! For those considering a WilletteRagdol ragdoll or are waitlist parents, I recommend reading the website in its entirety (https://www.willetteragdol.com/) and follow closely on social media. There are so many helpful tips and cute pictures, I swear it kept me sane! Overall, we had such a great experience with WilletteRagdol and we could not be happier with our two babies.

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a groomer to take care of my westie…read more The thing about westies is that they need to be hand stripped and I could not find any groomer in the area who knows how to work with the breed. I was lucky to find Lisa and Lou at Champion Pet Care. They are very responsive, nice, professional and doing fantastic job. We discussed the whole grooming in details. After grooming my westie looks amazing, he looks happy and feels very good after grooming with hand stripping (which is not always the case). Thank you for great job :) We will definitely be back.

I was introduced to the Mansfield Animal Shelter back in 2012 when I discovered that they produce a…read moreprogram on the local community cable channel, where they show all the animals available for adoption. A fantastic idea that I wish more shelters took advantage of. After a few weeks of insufferably cute faces and accompanying sad stories, I ventured over. Be sure to check the hours on their website, because they're only open a couple of hours some days, and longer hours others, due to it being staffed almost entirely by volunteers. It turns out that they are affiliated with the town animal control department and many of their rescues have been picked up as strays, or left behind after a move. They also accept dropped off pets, though preferably not the 'basket left on the doorstep' kind, which sadly was part of some of the cats' histories. I found a clean, organized place with cats at one end of the building and dogs at the other. Lots of helpful staff cleaning cages, socializing animals and carrying out the administrative side of the shelter. I was able to walk through the cat room, interacting with the cats in cages (roomy, scratching posts and individual litter-boxes), and with some that are allowed to roam freely while volunteers are there. They also have a couple of communal cat rooms with several cats living happily together. The volunteers answered questions, and I was able to use a visiting room to see a couple of cats 1 on 1. On my second visit I met Jack-O. He was a fixed, 6 year old male tuxedo cat. He was terrified of having gone from owner, to shelter, to quarantine, to the vet and finally to a room full of cats in cages. I could see in his eyes that he had just disconnected and gone to a happy place in his head. He didn't respond to verbal or food-based cues, just stayed curled up with that 'thousand yard stare'. I knew he was the one for me. The adoption process was pretty simple; Application, references checked (previous pets and the vets that cared for them) and a reasonable fee for the process (includes fixing, if necessary). I found everyone that I dealt with pleasant, professional and above all devoted to placing all those animals in good homes. Four years later Merlin (formerly Jack-O) is a happy, healthy, furry, non-rent paying roommate with a passion for chirping at birds and knocking over priceless knick-knacks. He contributes only to my sanity, refusing to deal with ground level threats like ants and spiders. I'm still a sucker for the cable show highlighting their adoptables, and often watch with Merlin directly in front of the television occasionally reaching out to see who these intruders in our living room are.
