We absolutely love Lucky Dog Pet Resort! Our dog, Sam, lights up the moment we pull into the…read moreparking lot and every time I pick him up, he's happy, tired, and completely content. That alone speaks volumes! He absolutely loves the dog pool parties, yard time, and group play with other dogs, but one of my favorite things as a pet parent is getting photo updates of his one-on-one enrichment sessions. Whether it's a cuddle session, a game of fetch, or some extra love and attention, it means the world to me to see him so engaged and joyful! Those updates are such a special touch, and they make me feel like I'm right there with him. The staff at Lucky Dog Pet Resort is amazing. They're kind and you can tell they genuinely care about every single dog. It doesn't feel like just another boarding facility, it feels like Sam is staying with people who know him and love having him there. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, secure, and clearly designed with dogs in mind. The play yards, pool area, and even the enrichment activities are what make Lucky Dog feel like a true luxury pet resort. I honestly wouldn't take Sam anywhere else! If you're in San Luis Obispo County and looking for the best dog daycare or overnight dog boarding, Lucky Dog Pet Resort is the place. I live in San Luis Obipso but driving to Lucky Dog is well worth the drive to know I have a peace of mind, happy dog, and a team that goes above and beyond!

Sarah, the trainer, had the perfect background credentials, self-confidence and philosophy so I signed up my dog to be trained by her at the dog resort. The protocols for safety (physically and emotionally) at the facility are outstanding. Soon,I met with Sarah and she developed a training proposal which I approved. My dog came home from daycare TIRED and less clingy each time he went there. When his training was complete, I was shown how to do the trainer's commands and motions and now my dog's demeanor in our home and in public is calmer and our relationship is at a new level of trust and respect (both ways). I feel very pleased with both Lucky Dog and Sarah and highly recommend both for both daycare, boarding and training

Totally not cool and very unprofessional, especially since it's been 1 1/2 years since she has seen my dogs. How can anyone trust someone who does that?

It's just, what the heck is going on with posting a defensive & defamatory reply to a good rating?? It was like a backhanded complement...) Go figure!

My son and I visited the shelter today looking for a kitten. When we entered, the first…read morereceptionist closest to the door, before we opened our mouths said "you'll have to wait." We waited a minute and then I said that we are interested in a kitten. She responded with "we don't have any cats." We said OK, where can we look at the dogs, she responded very impatiently "out the door to your left." We saw a nice big cat in the cage to the right. Then got lost and asked someone where the dogs were and she said to the right. We found our way, looked at the dogs and found a little Chihuahua that we liked. On the way out we stopped to ask her about the Chihuahua, she was sitting beside another employee and she said "you will have to wait." Then she continued her conversation for a minute or 2 and we walked out. Exceptionally rude, power hungry receptionist. Overall, the condition of the animals and their kennels was very good, so someone cares, just not that receptionist.

First, I'll address the staff, then I'll address the scam that the shelter is running against the…read morepublic, in the second half of this review. I've adopted a few dogs from there, over the last 20 years. For whatever reason, the different people that they've put behind the front desk over the years, are rude, inept, passive aggressive, and lazy. It's been that way for years, no matter who they give that position to. They act like a DMV clerk who's doing you a favor, by letting you rescue an abandoned animal. I made an appointment to see one dog last week, which meant I was the only person in the building to see a dog, and the woman behind the desk is pouting and sighing, and rolling her eyes, as if she's overwhelmed with work, and doing me a favor. I had a noon appointment and arrived on time, but the door was locked, and nobody would answer the door. I had to call again, she kept me waiting outside, so I walked in as the last only non staff person walked out. Apparently that started her brain to short circuit . I told her over the phone, and in person, that I was just there to look to see if that particular dog would be compatible with my current dog. If I saw that is was, I would come back with my wife and my dog for a meet and greet. She didn't seem to care, and made me waste my time filling out an a long and intrusive adoption application form, which I'm almost positive has already been "lost or misplaced" and which I would have to fill out once again, if I were to ever go back. The whole time she's acting like an overwhelmed secretary, she got one whole phone call, and stressed out, while lecturing me on why I should have brought my dog with me.. Again, just super passive aggressive, for no reason. She had a couple of really sweet staff members who were tending to the animals and were helpful, but even though I was already there, they wouldn't let me see another dog, "because of the Covid thing.." !'m not sure they understand how that works. They said I would have to make another appointment to see another dog! So, I would have to go outside, call, make another appointment to see a specific dog, and then wait for the woman behind the desk, to pull her hair out, before the last appointment (which was me) to come to the door to let me in. Absurd is an understatement. If whoever's in charge actually cared about finding a home for abandoned animals, they would hire some competent people to work behind the desk. I have more stories of incompetence of other people in that position , going back years... but I don't want to write a book here. The other half of the review is concerning the scam they are running with Pet Finder, to grant them first pick of any highly desirable/ profitable dogs on their list of adoptable dog profiles, one day before the public can adopt them. The shelter gets paid for giving these scammers the rights to first pick, then Pet Finder markets the dogs without revealing where the dog is located, charges people nationwide, application fees, and nobody ever gets the dog if the dog is bringing in high revenue. Disgusting. I had to learn this from the woman who answers the phone at the shelter, after trying to get a straight answer out of her became like pulling teeth. I just wanted to know why they tell people to check if a certain dog is available after a certain date, but if the dog is cute, it's already gone the night before it was available for adoption. Why post profiles of dogs which they KNOW are never going to be available , as if they are adoptable? That is sooooo low! Just say that the dog is available for owner pick up only ! Don't sell them to a virtual online puppy mill that scams as many people as they can, out of their money. I don't care what kind of shady quid pro quo arrangement they have with Pet Finder; I will be informing the local news, if I see that this happens to one more dog. They should be defunded and Pet Finder needs to face a class action lawsuit. But don't take my word for it. If you don't believe me, check the Pet Finder reviews

Shaggy Dog pushes you out the door and says come back in 5-6 hours, while shoving your pup into a kennel for Lord knows how long .... not Michelle.

She's the best, in every single freaking way.
