    Our baby girl about 5 months after adoption
    Liz D.

    My partner and I were set on adopting a Pomeranian or similar/mixed. We looked at all the rescues across Denver and northern Colorado and we found our baby girl at Big Bones. Our experience was very pleasant and quick. I made our application on their website and was approved right away. We found a Pomeranian puppy were contacted about a her almost immediately from her foster mom. The foster mom, Stef, has been amazing to work with. We were able to meet her right away with our 2 other dogs and we all fell in love with her immediately. We were able to adopt her that day and she's been a loved member of our family ever since! She is a Pomeranian mixed with chihuahua and Maltese and 100% adorable and good girl.

    Our new pup, Teddy.

    We had,a wonderful experience with Big Bones. The people were so helpful. I explained what I was looking for and they found us the perfect companion. We couldn't be more pleased with how easy they made the process.

    5 month old, Sven

    I applied for one of their rescue pups living at one of their foster mom's homes. Big Bones responded to me the same day I submitted my application. The process was thorough and very streamlined, I was able to pick up my new baby, Sven within 4 days of applying. Laurie, the foster mom is who I communicated and worked with, she was wonderful, responsive and caring. I'm soooooo happy. Sven is adorable, loving and healthy. Enjoying his forever home. Xo

    This is always a worthy trek. We left early because it gets hot, quick. Our family has been…read moresupportive of this organization for several years now. The staff is pleasant and the volunteers are informative. We had a lovely walk. I like the rubber-like surface that has been added to the walkway. They are always improving. We saw many animals out enjoying the early morning breeze before the heat of the day. By the time we got back to our vehicle it was getting quite warm. Always a great experience.

    We brought our young kids here on Saturday and had a wonderful experience. We got there at 9 am…read more(right when they opened the doors) and while it was very windy on the walkway, it was a relief against the blazing sun. Many of the animals were active until around 10:30/11 when the temperature warmed up. Right out of the welcome center, we saw 2 of their jaguars (which we were told are usually pretty elusive), some foxes, bobcats, bears, and to our happy surprise, a cheetah. It came out of the shade in the back of its habitat and approached the fence close to the walkway because an employee was driving by. It sat there for awhile until the employee drove off, so we were able to get lots of pictures. My son LOVES cheetahs, so this was definitely a highlight for us. Of course, when we mentioned it to not 1, but 2 employees/volunteers, they both said that that sanctuary location doesn't have any cheetahs. I showed them the pictures and they stated that it was a leopard. While they certainly do have a leopard (which we also saw), this was indeed a cheetah. So, my 1 suggestion to the sanctuary is to educate the staff on the animals there. Aside from that, we also saw wolves, lions, tigers, and camels. Be prepared to walk the 3 miles round trip. Bring lots of water and snacks (they have bathrooms and shaded rest stops along the way). Bring binoculars (or rent theirs for $10 like we did)--the sanctuary is expansive, far beyond what's next to the walkway. And take your time! We told our littles that the animals were playing hide and seek. It is a worthwhile experience!

    We brought our 5-month-old Pomeranian in on a Saturday evening with a broken leg. After five…read moreminutes in an empty waiting room, we were greeted by a young woman who took our information without once looking at our puppy -- who was visibly frightened and in pain. Her manner was so detached that I started to wonder whether they even accepted emergency visits, so I asked. After a few long pauses, she said they did. She told us it would be a while before a doctor could see him. I asked how long and never got an answer. A second staff member came in, sat down at a computer, and didn't acknowledge us either. We left. I told them we were going elsewhere because we didn't feel welcome, and the response was a flat "Have a nice night." On paper, nobody did anything wrong -- and I want to be fair about that. But if you love animals, you can tell very quickly when you're standing in front of someone who doesn't. We went to VEG in Boulder instead, where they greeted us with warmth, and more importantly greeted our puppy and showed him affection while they got to work. I don't fault the woman at the front desk. This reads as a hiring and training problem, which falls to ownership and management. If you run a clinic for animals, basic compassion should be a minimum qualification for every person in the building. The vibe was off, and I wouldn't have trusted our puppy in their hands.

    I wanted to add to my previous review, that you mustn't listen to the large amount of 1 stars, that…read moreovershadow the amount of five stars. We had to bring our sweet girl in again today for an injury, it was very last minute, an emergency, and I was very frazzled, but they took care of her SO well. They even cut our little hearts on her casts like oh my gosh. They were quick to see us, especially since I called and gave them only a 10 minute heads up that we were coming. As far as financials go, they give a very detailed estimate, with a range of what it could cost. Everything is broken down in great detail, and I know they try to cut costs for us, without it affecting our girls health. I'm VERY pleased and thankful for the crew here, everyone I've met (the technicians and the doctors) have genuinely been the sweetest, and I love seeing how gentle they are with my little baby.

One of the big problems living here in Boulder is that so many Boulderites are so full of Boulder they can't listen to anyone other than themselves. Cue Bentgate Mountaineering. These guys are the real deal - and worth the drive from Boulder. Oh yeah, a lot of what they sell you can get online, but what you can't get online is the hands on advice to avoid making expensive purchase mistakes. Guys like Chad who listen first and then present alternatives to make the best choice for you, the customer - whether you're heading up Denali or chasing your kid into a snowbank. Chad got my Stockli skis remounted with the correct width binding, all set to go. Bentgate is now my "go to" mountain store, whether I stay in Boulder or relocate to Jackson or Driggs. Bentgate is there for me and they'll be there for you too. Ask for Chad.

I e-mailed them to understand why and there was no response to that either. Terrible customer service I have ever experienced
