I was a client of Just Four Paws and initially had positive experiences with some of their sitters…read more However, I recently encountered a situation that raised concerns about how the service handles detailed care and communication. My cat's routine requires close management, and I provided clear written instructions and updates as needed. Over time, I experienced difficulty with one sitter in consistently following those instructions and adapting to changes. When I raised a concern to the owner, Melissa, the client relationship was ended without an opportunity for discussion or review of my experience, or consideration of assigning a different sitter. I was told this was the first concern they had received from me, which suggests there was no process in place to identify or address developing issues before they reached that point. To be clear, the sitter was kind to my cats, and I do believe she cared about them. However, care alone is not sufficient when instructions are not consistently followed or when there is limited ability to adjust routines as needed. For clients who require precision, consistency, and clear communication--especially in situations involving medically sensitive or closely managed routines--it would be important to clarify upfront how detailed protocols, updates, and sitter matching are handled.

I had over an hour drive to get there and they met me cordially. I had phoned ahead and they promised not to let Chaco be adopted before I arrived, which was very kind. I had my other dog in the car and they allowed him into a fenced off area to see if the 2 dogs would get along - many places will not allow this, but it was a critical issue for me. To rate a shelter based on its website is unfair. This is a quality caring place run on a shoestring - they get no funding other than donations. Sadly, Chaco passed away last week and I will be sending them a thank you donation in his honor and memory.

Nice and clean and no smells. We made an appointment to meet Chappy. When we arrived we were greeted by one of the volunteers. The place looked very well kept. It didn't smell like many other shelters. The dogs who were staying there were outside in the yard getting some exercise as it was sunny and fairly warm. The volunteers take them out and bring them in when it's closing time. This is when they clean the kennels. She was cleaning the cat room and feeding the 2 resident cats at this time. She had us sit and brought Chappy out for some interaction. We fell in love and said we'd adopt him, but had to wait to Feb. 3, pay day. She contacted one other volunteer via phone, and they "lent" us the fee,which if I can remember is around $60. They gave us a blanket, some food and a toy for our new cat. We thanked them profusely and took Chappy home. We repaid the bill in total on Feb. 3. Chappy is loving his new forever home. We are so happy he's part of our family.

I even (unintentionally) made my husband miss out on an activity that he had wanted to do, just to make sure we made it here for our tour. Tours are by appointment only and I was a bit worried because I had only just heard about this place the day before and was hoping to make an appointment on short notice. Unfortunately when I called I didn't get an answer so I left a message. I was so anxious that I followed up with an email and later that evening I received a kind response and was able to schedule our visit. We ended up getting a hotel and staying an extra night in the area so we could visit and it absolutely worth it!. This was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Getting to the sanctuary was a little confusing, it's kind of out in the middle of nowhere, but I trusted our map and we made it right on time. We let ourselves in the gate and by the time we pulled up there was someone coming out to welcome us. All the people here were kind and genuine and it is clearly a labor of love run by people who deeply care about what they do. Getting to meet the donkeys and learn their stories was incredibly moving. They all had unique circumstances and different personalities. Waylon was my absolute favorite. He was warm and vocal and full of character but all of the animals here just melted my heart. I laughed, and I cried on this tour. My only possible criticism about the entire experience was that it was just too short and I wish it could have lasted longer. The tour itself is free but by the end, we found ourselves stuffing all of the cash that we had on us into their donation jar. The other couple that was on the tour with us was discussing sponsoring a donkey for a year as we were leaving... I hope they did. This is the kind of place that makes you want to help in any way possible. If you're anywhere near Benson and have a soft spot for animals, you should make the effort to visit and donate if you can. Incredible places like these can only exist if people care enough to support them and this one truly deserves your support.

The tour is free and you get to learn about donkeys, feed and pet donkeys, learn what the sanctuary does, and also about each donkey ( and mule) that are residing there. The couple that started and work the sanctuary and the staff who worked there truly care for animals and it shows by their knowledge of each animal and the work they put in. My only recommendation- just because it's a free tour - don't be a jerk- donate to the cause. And even if you don't care about the cause... someone takes the time to give you a tour. Be nice. Do right.
