    My weirdo little man, Romulus, enjoying his cat tree.
    Aiden S.

    This shelter has always been my number one go to when I'm looking for a new family pet; they're always incredibly kind and helpful as well as considerate of the needs of their potential adoptive families. Over the pandemic I adopted a sweet ball of love named Romulus, a beautiful tuxedo cat; they made the process quite easy even with covid restrictions and had us in for our appointment quite quickly. We had Romulus home within about an hour and he's been our weird and loveable boy since. All adoptions are by appointment right now but if my experience is anything to go by, they'll have you in quickly to meet the pet you picked on the website within a few days. If you're looking to adopt a fur baby I think this is a great place to do it. Pics of my little guy, Romulus included!

    Wow, definitely the nicest pet adoption facility I've ever seen. Clean and spacious, with separate wings for cats and dogs (and a bunny area too). Many of the cats had entire small rooms (the size of a small bathroom) to themselves with multiple cat trees. Visitors are welcome to go in and meet the cats in person. Cats are all labelled with as much information as the staff can provide, such as name and age if known, personality, whether they think the cat will get along well with other pets, etc. (I didn't look at the dog wings but I presume similar.) The cats all seemed friendly and well-adjusted and there were volunteer staff all over the place helping out.

    Really bad experience. Staff doesn't know what they are doing. Strongly suggest to adopt elsewhere. Very poorly managed.

    This is a fantastic shelter and the adoption process was very simple, affordable and easy.

She cannot wait to go to daycare on "daycare days" and I swear she actually knows which days it is without me telling her and she sits at the back door crying to go and then races to the car. She just loves it there and everyone that works there has been so amazing to both her and me! I recommend them 100%

The facility is also well taken care of. Puppy Training - we really enjoyed our introductory puppy training class. It was a great way to introduce our pup to new dogs, people and experiences. The instructors were very knowledgable and willing to answer all questions. They seemed genuinely interested in every family. Daycare - our puppy started out loving daycare but as time went on he was more and more hesitant to go in. I doubt this had anything to do with Sadie's but more a result of his personality and experiences changing. He was going just once a week and maybe it wasn't the right routine. The staff always assured us that he had a great time once he was in and playing. It was also nice to see him on the webcam (when it was working). Grooming - after a bad experience elsewhere, we were pleased to discover Sadie's also offers grooming. Our pup always looks good after a wash and cut. He seems to enjoy the experience (or at least not dread it ;) I still think it's crazy that I pay more at his salon than I do at my own but I'm also not prepared to start doing it myself.

    This is a small business run since 2009 independently by Adam Jones, a certified dog trainer, who…read morebelieves that training is more effective when it's done out in the real world, facing the challenges you actually face while living with a dog inside the city. This is not a trick learning class. This is a class to enforce confidence, quick recall, strong sit/stay responsiveness, and good leash skills. It's designed to help you be the leader your dog needs, regardless of the age of your pet. We just started one of the 6 week group classes, which occur twice a week. He runs two group classes, a Monday/Thursday and a Wednesday/Saturday. I find Adam to be very responsive when i have questions regarding the training we're embarking upon. He's very fair when making sure we have enough training time vs. the weather, since it is an outdoor class. He makes each action the dogs make into a learning experience and is mutable based on the needs of the class. Come armed with plenty of patience and don't expect your work to be done when you leave. Establishing a lifetime, trusting relationship with your pup takes a lot of time, and we're putting in 2-3 hours a day with our dog outside of class. He offers private training as well as group classes. The prices feel a little high, but they're comparable to any other trainer in the city worth their salt, if not slightly cheaper. The good news is that if you feel you need a refresher course after you finish the 6 week group course, you can drop in on a class for just 10$. You can find him on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/906.DOGS/info and at his website: http://www.alldogsgreatandsmall.com/ and can email him with questions before committing. All you need is the sign up fee, time, a 6 foot leash, and a martingale collar and you'll be well on your way to improving life both on and off the leash with your dog.

    My dogs have been with the team through puppy training, obedience training, private lessons, and…read moreovernight stays. I can wholeheartedly say the entire team (Adam, Nick, Angie, Corenna, and Brenda) are people I would trust my dogs with. Mully is a German Shepherd mix with anxiety and, although she loves people, she's not always so great with other dogs and she seems to have a thing about hats. Don't ask... Anyway, the team is so patient with her and practices from a place of reward training instead of punishment. My other dog, Cooper, literally whines for part of the drive home after leaving because he misses them (he LOVES his Corenna). He can tell when we're going there and bursts with excitement on the drive. It's funny. More than anything, I learn a lot from them. They make me feel like I am a good dog owner and I can overcome the things that I think I'm struggling with. They give me the tools to be better and are willing to call me out on my excuses. That part kind of sucks, but they're sweet about it. The only drawback for me is the pickup times - sometimes it's hard to get there by 6 pm due to the nature of my job, but I just work around it by only bringing the dogs to doggy day care on the days I know something urgent is unlikely. Whatever you need for your dog, I'm pretty sure they can help you figure it out in a way that works for your lifestyle.

She is very rude and caters only to her high level agility clients. I attended classes for 6 months and she never bothered to learn me or my dog's name and would teach class by sitting in a chair, yelling instructions at you and talking to other people in the building. You are expected to set up and take down the equipment for class, but instead of asking students for help and showing us how and where to set it up, she'll start yelling and belittling you. They also don't focus on obedience skills and it can become pure chaos in there with off leash dogs running wild.
