Worth noting
Dogs left in rain without shelter unless lightning
“It poured rain all day and I learned that the dogs are left in the rain unless there is lightening. There is no place for them to get shelter.”
Dog reportedly stressed during bathing
“When I picked her up they reported that the handlers would not be giving her a bath because of the way she behaved when they tried to rinse her.”
Entry requirements and waitlist barriers
“The requirements just to interview the dog along with the wait-list were no go. They treated us like we were absolutely asking the impossible.”
Puppy training class too basic
“I was a little disappointed by the content of the course. It seemed much too basic for my puppy.”
Website technical issues
“A bug in their mobile website caused me to waste a trip out there.”
