There were a lot more people involved (about 75 people), which made things a bit confusing and hectic. I felt as though the Akron-Canton Foodbank floor coordinators were quite rude when you asked them questions of where certain frozen foods/meats should go. It was like they were yelling at you for not knowing which cardboard box the item should be sorted in. I was just trying to help and not put the item in the wrong box. I felt productive after 3 hours of volunteering, but the in person interaction was not as expected.

When I got home, I looked at the receipt and saw not only was the Tote a dollar more, but a $3.60 tip was added after I said No. I like the Tote but I do not like being ripped off.

My parents adopted a 2-year-old French Bulldog (Destinee but renamed Della) from One of A Kind pet…read moreRescue on Thursday 04/30/26. When we arrived at the facility, we were smitten with her and after hearing that she was a puppy mill mama, my Mom and Dad were so excited to give her a life of love that she deserved. They had a meet and greet with Della and their current dog Gertie at 6pm and then proceeded with the adoption. Lucy, the person helping with the adoption, told us Della wasn't eating since surgery but assured us that this was because of her recent spay the day prior. Della had medical issues since the adoption. On Friday, my parents took Della to the vet for a check-up because of her continued lack of appetite and because Lucy recommended getting her established with their vet. By Saturday she needed to be seen again because her incision had become swollen, red, was seeping. Also, she appeared to be in heat as she had a little bit of blood coming from her vulva. At this point my parents called One of A Kind Pets as directed (as this was an issue from the surgery), however, there was no one available on Saturday so they took her back to their vet office for emergency treatment. Della was treated with a shot of antibiotics, medication to help with her appetite, pain medication, and probiotics. The vet said that Della's hormones may have been causing the small drips of bleeding that they were seeing. Sunday and Monday she seemed to be doing a bit better; she began to eat and started playing a little too; we were all so happy that she seemed to be feeling better. Then, the worst imaginable happened. On 05/06/26, I arrived at my parents' house to check in and while I was visiting Della began hemorrhaging from her vulva. We immediately took her to the vet who had to do emergency surgery (we got her there within 10 minutes). The vet there was willing and my parents were willing to do whatever to save her life. The vet even had a vet tech go to her house to get her own dog to give Della a blood transfusion in attempt to save her life. However, upon opening her up, the vet told my mother "I have never seen anything like it in 20yrs." The damage was irreparable and she recommended that she be put to sleep. The vet said that Della had developed an extremely large abscess that was likely a result of her being spayed when she was actively in heat. She said that spaying a dog when it is in heat is not indicated, as it is a common occurrence for an abscess to develop. I am horrified that a rescue clinic that is in the market of "saving animals" would be doing surgeries on dogs when contraindicated. Not only did poor Della suffer as a result of a poor clinical/medical decision but my 75-year-old parents and I have too. Della deserved a happy life after the one she started with. And then for her to suffer in this way as a result of the clinic's poor decision is truly inhumane. This was such a terrible experience that I'm not certain I will ever have the heart to adopt an animal again from a shelter. And I am a true animal lover. I have four dogs and a cat of my own. But, this experience, it's one I won't ever forget. It was so traumatizing to see Della hemorrhage and feel so helpless in that moment because I couldn't help her. I would rather go to a breeder than back to a shelter that is "adopting" dogs out that are sick and have been given botched "vet services" that ultimately will kill them. My parents did their very best. Della wasn't left alone since she was adopted, they loved on her, they got her vet care, and it still wasn't enough because of the lack of care/consideration she received at One of a Kind Pet. I'm devastated to even think about all the dogs and cats currently at your facility now. I hope and pray that none of them suffer in this way, but I am fearful that they will. I would like to see whomever made the decision spay Della when it was contraindicated no longer doing procedures at your clinic. I'd like to see my parents compensated for the money spent on Della's adoption and care due to the clinic's poor clinical decision-making skills and the trauma that they've endured losing their pet in this way. Someone needs to be held accountable and I am absolutely disgusted that no one from One of A Kind Pet has yet to reach out to my parents about the situation. We have emailed and messaged the executive director (as directed by volunteers) and made several phone calls with no response. I am completely heartbroken for Della, Gertie (who has been looking for her), and my poor 75-year-old parents who were trying to help a pet in need get a life she deserved and now grieving her death.
