When we decided it was time to get a faithful hound, my little lady and I headed out to Coldstream and checked out Animal Aid. After looking at the website, in which they have set up 'facebook like' pages for each of the dogs up for adoption, we had decided on a dog to save, and went to meet it in person. They have lovely staff here, and its clear they love all the animals that come through. We met a heap of dogs, and as hard as it is to decide, we chose a dog that we thought we'd like to have some 'one on one" time with. Here the staff let you take the dog for a short walk around and you get to say hello without the fence in the way. It was then that we found out how things work. We weren't allowed to meet the dog, as it had 3 people who had put it "on hold" over the Internet. It seems people shop for animals online now, and you can 'hold' a dog until you get the time to come and meet it, rendering anyone else who is keen out of the running to adopt it. Although I definitely recommend adopting over buying a dog from a store, I suggest you get online and 'hold' any dog you like the look of before heading to the Animal Aid and avoid disappointment. read more

This is a local shelter that does a great job rescuing animals and finding them new homes. My girlfriend does volunteer work here as they rely heavily upon community help to survive. We also donate dog treats and old blankets when they need them. Please look here when you are looking for your next pet read more

I haven't been to animal aid, but have looked at the internet site and seen dogs I would like to meet. But again was disapointed as there was holds on the dogs. Animal Aid staff seems very nice over the phone whereas RSPCA were a little rude. I rang up the RSPCA and they had holds, but when I rang they couldn't hold for me, but others were able to? don't get that. In the end I looked at the internet for a breeder that wants to adopt out their dogs that have had a view litters. I adopted a beautiful black female 3 year old pugalier. She is the dream dog. So affectionate. So for others look at breeders as well. There are other options out there. read more

I boarded my two devon's at the Purr Inn for a week at Xmas and these guys did a fantastic job. My…read morecats are very shy and don't mix with many other people so going to a cattery with strangers was very stressful for them but the the Purr Inn staff did a great job getting to know them, making them comfortable and they even got them relaxed enough to go for walks outside their cage - the staff here really are "crazy cat people" and I'll definitely be using their services again.

Our 2 boys got a room large enough to house them both for the 6 weeks, and they were allowed to bring their toys and scratching tower from home to help them settle in! Our cats are on a special diet for their teeth, so we supplied the food, and Jan was nice enough to reduce the rate a little as she didnt have to supply the food. Jan is a real cat lover, and lives on the premises, so the cats can be checked on day or night if needed. The best part was that Jan would send us weekly email updates with how the cats were going, and photos!!!
