One star off bc our cashier, who was young and brand new was kind of apathetic when I asked her a question she didn't know the answer to. I got a "I dunno... it's literally my third day. You'll have to ask my manager".... instead of getting her manager. mkaaay... So after an awkward silence, I pointed out an older woman whom I saw walking around and opening dressing rooms, asked if that was her manager, and THEN she called her over so I could get my question resolved. My husband and I complained about her to each other on the way out. besides that, good experience. Would return.

I am so thankful for these folks!…read more The short: * Convenient hours (I work 8-5 in South Austin and was able to drop off and pick my foster up without missing work) * Great pricing - they are so unbelievably good to us * Thorough and impressive bedside manner. It's clear they care about all animals! The long: I foster greyhounds for Austin Greyhound Adoption and even though I live super South, we just started taking all of our foster hounds to Great Oaks. GOAH offers us an incredible package for the dogs we take in, which in and of itself was hard to find. Greyhounds make great pets but have unique issues that make them diva patients from time to time. They're very sensitive to meds and their bloodwork looks different than most dogs and they're a lot to take on. I've asked my mutt's vet down South along with several others if they offer rescue pricing and they've all flat out said no thank you. Great Oaks welcomed us in with open arms. My current foster had an absolutely atrocious mouth. Poor girl really needed a thorough dental during her spay. When I brought her in for her spa day I let GOAH know that her teeth wre my biggest concern during her spay/microchip/exam. I was nervous because I knew she was going to need an extensive bit of dental work and any time you bring an animal in for so many things especially at a "rescue rate" you worry that your pup won't be a priority or will not get the full and necessary treatment. Man, was I wrong to worry. Dr. Willis called me right after my foster girl's procedure to let me know how she was doing and the extent of her operation. Dr. Willis didn't know this, but a few days earlier I had found out my last foster (I had her for 6 months) had passed away very suddenly shortly after getting a home. Because of that news, I was very nervous about my current foster girls' procedure. Greyhounds are extra sensitive to most things including anesthesia. Dr. Willis was extremely thorough in explaining what she had to do and even wrote out a tooth chart for my foster babe to make sure her potential new home would have good records. She walked me through all of her medications and when another rescue volunteer had to pick her up she walked her through her post op recovery as well. My own dog actually had a dental at my vet down south a few says prior to my foster's operation and I was concerned about the possibility they could pass infection to each other by sharing a water dish and Dr. Willis even took the time to thoughtfully answer that question for me. I cannot say enough good things. I'm so impressed at how thorough they were and how much effort they put into our pups even though many other vets would consider rescues up for adoption a lesser priority compared to normal patients or flat out say no to rescue pricing. The care my foster received from GOAH was on par and maybe even better than the care I received for my own dog's dental surgery the week prior at my regular vet down south. Definitely bring your pets here. They are good at what they do and they have a heart for helping! Thank you so much GOAH - we are so lucky to have you!!!

The doctors are great, always helpful and kind but some of the staff definitely can be a problem…read more Been coming to this vet clinc for 15+ yrs with multiple pets and never had a problem till past 8 months. Some of the Vet techs don't fully communicate with the doctors and other techs causing large miscommunications. Assumptions are made and nothing is actually verified by speaking with owner before opinions are made. After all these years I am having to change my dogs to a new vet so they can receive the care they need. Very disappointing. Hopefully they make some changes and things improve.

I'm sharing this as a genuine concern for animal welfare and transparency…read more I've noticed this individual adopting animals from local shelters while simultaneously requesting donations and then selling the animals at retail-level prices. That raises serious ethical questions. Animal shelters exist to place pets into safe, permanent homes--not to supply inventory for resale. If money is being exchanged beyond standard adoption fees, the public deserves clarity on where funds are going and whether shelters are aware. Donations should support care, vetting, and rescue efforts--not personal profit. If this is a legitimate rescue operation, transparency, nonprofit status, and itemized use of funds should be clearly provided. Otherwise, this feels misleading to donors and unfair to families who adopt in good faith. I hope proper oversight is in place to protect the animals and the community.Donations solicited under the appearance of animal rescue while animals are sold at retail prices.

Impressive! The Best! They took care of my cat pretty well…read more He came home very calm and well-adjusted, as if he had been pampered and coddled his entire stay. I'm sure he misses them! When I went to drop him off before hours, I didn't get to see the. place, but the building looked new and clean. They gave me updates and I appreciated the postcards/Facebook posts about many cat's well being. When I went to pick him up, I was impressed by how clean the place was, considering how my cats and finches were present. My cat's room was very clean, with a big window, the jungle gym setup, and a loft bed. The kitty litter had added fiber pellets, which I hope he liked since he hates sawdust litter. They gave me back everything that I left at dropoff, plus a toy. My cat was very calm, coming by his own free-will to greet the handler. To me, these were all green flags and I will highly recommend Whiskers to anyone needing a safe place for their kittens and cats to stay for a short (or long) spell. They know cats better!

I applied to adopt in July and got approved by the end of the month. There were a couple of pugs I…read morewas interested but since the application process took a while, they were already adopted. Although I admit I was frustrated I was so happy when I found "Britches" (now named Penny), on the website. Within a week we were set up with a trial visit with her at our home. When we first met Penny, we were surprised at how friendly she was. Her bio stated that she was very bossy and might have an issue with children, but this was likely due to the severe ear and skin infection she had when she was surrendered. Penny is now a healthy and fun loving pug. She is kind to children and will voluntarily sit on any lap available. She is four years old but she is as playful as a puppy. She enjoys her squirrel toys, playing tug of war, and rolling in the grass. We are so grateful to PRA for giving us the chance to fall in love with Penny. Yes, the process takes forever and can be frustrating when all you want is a pug, but it is worth it. Also, understand that this nonprofit organization is made up of all volunteers. These people work hard and though it can be a taxing process, they are volunteering their time in order to get these fur babies a home. Once you are approved the process is so fast.

This…read morereview is a long time coming as I have many draft reviews that I am still working on getting posted. As the mother of a rescue dog who was going to be euthanized, I am 100% behind everything this thrift store stands for. In fact, every 6 months when I overhaul my closet, I donate A LOT of clothing, shoes, and accessories to the store in support of the cause. I also like to swing by as part of my North Loop jaunt (every few months, hit up North Loop stores and pubs---to include APA!) to make purchases. Found quite a few cute things here over the years not only for myself but friends and family. They've got an amazing selection of items and each time I pop in they seem to have loads more. Support this local shop in saving animal lives. Trust me, you will find something to buy!

My collection has dwindled over the years through breakage. So I was thrifting looking for pink depression glass. The Burnet Road location is large, well organized with two-stories of items. It is filled with just about anything that you can imagine. Clothing...they have it! Shoes...they have it! Vintage items...they have it! Kitchen and house wears...they have it!
