They told me to call when I reached the parking lot and they would let me know as soon as a room was ready. They met me at a a side door and took me straight back into a room. They helped preserve my dignity and allowed my beloved Truffles to not have the stress of being exposed to strange animals at a difficult time. They then allowed me all the time I needed with him before and after he crossed the rainbow bridge. The kindness, caring and compassion shown to me by Aubry, Michelle and Dr Taylor was very much appreciated.

My Mom wanted to get a black and white long hair but they didn't have any. This one was by itself and was friendly as soon as I opened the cage. What a cute face!!!! We checked out another cat room they have as well as what dogs they have available. No puppies or small dogs. Mostly med or larger dogs. They all seem well cared for. My Mom decided on the baby girl I found. (I would have taken her in a heartbeat!) The employees who worked there were nice. Wednesday they have Free dog adoption day and Fridays are for free cats. We will have to stop again to check what they have. They said small dogs go fast as well as the kittens. I am sure this beautiful baby would have been gone long before Friday, she had just become adoptable that day. Lucky we got her!! If you're looking for a pet, stop here! We will definitely stop back. My Mom is very happy with her.

Disappointing Experience at Escambia County Animal Shelter…read more I recently went to the Escambia County Animal Shelter after seeing a bulldog that I really, really wanted to adopt. When I first asked about the dog, I was told that it was under medical evaluation and would need to be spayed/neutered before adoption. I understood that and was willing to wait. I was then told that the dog had a hold on it because another shelter was coming to pick it up. I contacted the shelter because I was confused about how that worked, especially after understanding that adoptions were supposed to be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Instead of simply explaining the situation, I felt like I was treated as though I was trying to take advantage of the situation. I explained that I was simply trying to adopt a dog I had fallen in love with. I even offered to pay for the spay/neuter and offered to pay double the normal adoption fee because I genuinely wanted to give this dog a home. I was told that someone would call me back, but nobody ever did. The dog was ultimately transferred to another organization, which I later learned was a bulldog rescue. I completely understand that shelters have policies and that the welfare of the animals has to come first. What upset me was the way the situation was handled and how I felt I was treated when I was simply trying to adopt an animal. As a publicly funded county shelter, I expected more transparency, communication, and courtesy. I ultimately gave up on trying to adopt the dog, and I sincerely wish the bulldog the very best and hope it gets a wonderful home. My frustration is not with the dog or the rescue--it is with how this situation was handled and the way I was treated when I was genuinely trying to provide a home for an animal I cared about.

They offer grooming services. And, they also, offer kennels for dogs & cats…read more The staff is very friendly & helpful. They treat your "babies" quite well. Very kind & knowledgeable with animals. I have a rescue big dog. He was truly rescued. His previous owner was very cruel. He's 4yrs old, now. I rescued him from the shelter here in Escambia County. He was 1yr. old. The human society had been notified before. They later received another report. He was rescued. He was left chained, no water or food. And, the scum who owned him had moved out, & just left him alone, malnourished, heart worms, & he was used as a bait dog. The previous owners never need to come face to face with me. I may act on my true loathing for them. And, my dog will do more, than me. I had him for a year & a half before, I made any progress with the dog. I almost gave up. I have never had the thought with any pet. But, he learned to trust people, again. He is still very protective of me. If he is with me, no harm will come to me. With the terrible things he has been through, he would do very much harm to anyone who he felt was a threat to me. I feel like, he would take a life or give his life for me. I say, all this to explain what the Davis Pet Hotel & Spa had their hands full with my big baby boy. I had him groomed for the first time @ 3 & half. She was fantastic. I was contacted throughout the grooming process. Butter, as I named him, loved the whole experience. He was handled with such patience & kindness. He even allowed her to cut his huge nails. Then, I went a step further. I had him kenneled for the time of our family vacation, 6days. Davis, took great care to make sure he was comfortable. He received toy time everyday. And, a 15min. cuddle time, everyday. The hotel&spa updated me every single day & sometimes more than, once a day. I received pics & sometimes videos of him. Butter loved the experience. He was ready for Mom(me) to pick him up. But, he was happy, good natured, & ready to go home. They took excellent care & kindness when dealing with a mean/now mushy big dog(mixed;Shepherd/Rottweiler). I can't say,1 thing bad about this experience with DAVIS PET HOTEL & SPA. I highly recommend this business for anyone looking for grooming & kennel services.
