Some of the mammals like red foxes, bunnies, and chipmunks are welcome, others like the rabid raccoons and ravenous packs of white-tailed deer, not so much. We have several bird houses and feeders hung up around the property. Sitting out on our deck, or just looking out the windows, we can see a multitude of colorful birds, inc. finches, cardinals, woodpeckers, robins, jays, sparrows, wrens, and nuthatches. We also have owls, hawks, Canadian geese, mallard ducks, and even wild turkeys who sometimes pass through. If I am wearing my favorite red hat, hummingbirds will fly right up to my face to check me out. Wild Birds Unlimited is a franchised specialty store that caters to the enthusiast. They have a large variety of bird houses, feeders, and related products, and, of course, ample supplies of all the foods that birds enjoy. Today I bought a large, squirrel-resistant tube feeder and a big bag of safflower seeds. Everything in the store is attractively displayed, and the young lady who helped me was pleasant and knowledgeable. They also sell books and other nature stuff, as well as some potted plants.

I have talked to Petsmart manager and she apologized and said no fee should be applied for 15 minutes delays. No excuses for the Grooming Salon manager.

The staff carries heavy 50 lb bags of feed out to the customers' cars. You can buy feed for chickens and rabbits here as well as suet and birdseed and birdfeeders. The store carries Mazuri brand feed which is the very best for geese and ducks. They also have Oxbow which is the best brand for rabbits and guinea pigs. Prices are comparable to other stores in the area. The town of South Plainfield recognized this business and a few others in town for their importance in the economy of the area for over 100 years. This store has an excellent reputation. I hope they will be open for another 100 years!

I believe these issues deserve closer scrutiny. There's also publicly available information from 2019 indicating that this organization was involved in legal proceedings related to record-keeping.

The…read moredogs we saw were absolutely adorable and so sweet, but unfortunately, the staff completely ruined the experience. The employees we dealt with could not have been colder if they tried--especially the woman at the front desk. There is a respectful way to speak to people, especially when you are representing an organization, and this was not it. She was extremely rude, condescending, and completely unprofessional. I have over five years of experience as a waitress, I work as a social worker, and I volunteer at my local dog shelter. In all of those roles, I have never been spoken to as disrespectfully as I was today. She informed us that our application was denied by loudly criticizing our dog of 14 1/2 years--who recently passed away--saying he was overweight, and did so in front of other staff members. It honestly seemed like she took pleasure in delivering this news, which felt incredibly insensitive given that we are still grieving the loss of our dog. This information could have been communicated in a much kinder and more respectful way. Basic compassion and professionalism should not be too much to expect. The experience was so upsetting that it made me question how the animals are treated if this is how people are treated. My family took a long time to feel ready for another dog after losing our Jessie girl, and this was the first time we had considered adopting again since her passing. Instead of a hopeful experience, we were met with hostility and disrespect. I have never written an online review before, but the way we were treated compelled me to speak up. I will never recommend Home for Good Dogs in Berkeley Heights, NJ. Please ensure that staff and volunteers understand the importance of kindness, professionalism, and basic human decency.

We couldn't be happier with our experience. The woman at the front desk was so sweet to Charli when we walked in. He seemed to forget all about me as he wandered around behind the counter sniffing everything in his path. She asked me a few questions about the type of 'cut' I wanted for him and I left feeling comfortable that they would do a good job (leaving him is still not easy). Charli looked great when I picked him up a few hours later. We will definitely be returning to Animal Kingdom South!
