In order to ourweigh the PAID and apparently fraudulently posted reviews posted as authentic by…read morethis organization. I am mirroring AND agree that this operation is not at all what it seems. **** see below**** I would encourage people to look at the real reviews on Yelp before you consider this place. It all appears on Google, as if it's a loving adoption and foster business that loves cats. I do not believe the positive reviews to be legitimate or even real, here, on Google for several reasons. Friends and acquitances are unfortunately all too common, misleading the public. This is common, and taking a positive review or a series of them, need to be weighed by the negatives and the failure to respond to negative reviews, speaks volumes There is something nefarious with the reviews and their "Director". The reviews on Yelp mirror my experience. Rude. intentional avoidance, phone number never answered. It would be better in my view to just do something else if you're unable or unwilling to fulfill your alleged mission or mission statement. It is their desire, it seems, to discourage those seeking to bring a homeless feline, to save a precious life, from doing so. In onc instace, I've read the review was scathing and concerning, especially where immediate danger to some kittens, attacked by dogs, was allegedly ignored. This is believable, based upon my experience. If it is a matter of underfunding, that is understandable. But it doesn't negate or excuse the hostility toward potential clients and avoidance. Nevertheless, ignoring contact and multiple complaints about the director being "rude" should be of concern to anyone seeking their assistance. This was my experience as well. Use discernment because we all know that action speaks louder than words. ***DO NOT RISK YOUR ANIMALS LIFE, HEALTH, OR TRUST THIS ORGANIZATION. LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This is the opinion of this poster/ REVIEWER. Experiences with this organization may vary.

I immediately when to my Vet and ask them what was said, and found. The lady at peewees never ask: "HOW MANY I BOUGHT THE LAST TIME" (I buy 6 month at a time).

The Gulf Coast Humane Society (GCHS) is a shining beacon of hope for Corpus' homeless pet…read morepopulation. Without it, there would be a many stray cat and dog without any chance of going on to have a better quality of life. Firstly, the Humane Society: The Humane Society is a non-profit organization with a mission of helping neglected and abused animals. They have a good cause, and for that, I support them as a whole. I have looked into their mission, and they are pretty straightforward, without any weird ideological angle or catch. I am very biased towards the Humane Society, as that is where I adopted my household firstborn, Pinto (my English/American Bulldog / Dogue De Bordeaux mix). I will give you some backstory on him, just to give you an idea of the lengths they will go to for their rescues. Pinto was found at about 10 weeks of age by a construction worker in Southeast Houston. He was emaciated, worm-riddled and covered with mange. The kindhearted man brought him to the Houston Humane Society, where they diligently treated his skin condition, and brought him to great health. Now, the GCHS is just as great a branch as any Humane Society location. However, you must understand that Corpus has a real problem with neglected, homeless, and roaming pets. Not that this is a problem exclusive to this city, but if you lived here, you would notice that it is pronounced. There are many ways to support the Humane Society. You can volunteer, donate pet food (try to make sure it is "grain free" please) or blankets to your local one, or you can also donate directly to them. They make it very easy to setup one-time or recurring donations directly from your bank account if you wish to do that. It is the time of year to be thoughtful and considerate. Perhaps you want to give to a good cause. This would be one of them, IMO. Also, if you are in the market for a new companion, consider adopting one from here. Adopt, don't shop!

I had been looking for a house bunny to rescue and when I saw a posting of a brown neglected bunny…read moreon the Barnyard Sanctuary FB page. I knew she was meant to be mine. I messaged Mary and she was so nice and informative letting me know that the bunny was receiving medical care but she would let me know when she would be available. A few days later she messaged me and I made the trip to pick up the bunny. Mary is an amazing woman. Shes one of the most compassionate people I have met. Rescueing animals is one of the hardest jobs to do. It's a difficult balancing act most of the time. Many times rescues are overcrowded and having to turn away animals because they dont have room or funds for medical cost. The work is endless feeding, cleaning, and medical needs are just the beginning. Yet, this woman has devoted her life to caring for so many animals that people have discarded or abandoned. Thank you so much Mary for everything you do for these precious animals. Violet will be well taken care of for the rest of her life.

Because PALS people Are nice, they do not try to embarrass folks that come to this nearly free clinic by saying, "you need to buy..." if people had money to burn, they would be at a private vet! They give a long lasting pain shot to dogs during surgery. These folks do an awesome job. I got my lab, Downtown Abbey here. She was found as a pup in downtown Corpus by the big church on the hill. She was not just fed and sheltered. She was given love, walks, cuddles. As are All the pets there. Various Girl Scouts etc come in several days a week for love and walks. Pets and cuddles. Abbey would not be the happy go lucky girl she is, knowing how to sit and stay without having had good care. House trained, too. I love Abbey and PALS!

I went to pick her up and asked the lady there if my dog would need pain medication and her response was "oh to late the vet left" I was disgusted! We got home and my dog was crying not being able to lay down or she'd cry even more. The incision looks like a little kid did it it's long and jagged up. And the lady seemed to be in a hurry to get me out of there. She didn't even take the time explain how the heart worm test went or if they had already given her pain medicine and she didn't tell me if they gave my dog her rabies shot till I asked her. This place is uncalled for this place is a joke! and should be closed down permanently!!! I am beyond disgusted by this place. They have -100 love for pets!!! I regret taking my dog there and if I could turn back time and take her somewhere else I WOULD. I will go on every review app possible and warn pet owners what a horrible place this is. No animal deserves to go to this hell hole. 0 stars!!!!
