I wish I had done some online research on reviews of AWF before making a decision to adopt a puppy…read morefrom here. The petfinder description stated she was house trained. She was not. Within 5 minutes of being in my home she had diarrhea twice on my floors. She did not pee on the pee pad either. I had to confine her to an area to keep her from peeing everywhere. The petfinder description also said she's good with other dogs. She was not. She would not play with my other puppy and only wanted to play alone. She was not socialized. I realized this was likely because she was found in the woods in Georgia with her brother Luke covered in fleas and ticks. This historical information that I found on her brother (from a different adoption agency in Georgia) was omitted from my adopted puppy's petfinder description from AWF. When I confronted the manager about this she denied that the puppy was found in the woods. Why would the Georgia adoption agency lie about finding these 2 puppies in the woods covered in fleas and ticks? During her 48 hours with me, the puppy had diarrhea and WORMS. I had to pull 4+ inch worm out of her butt and then she pooped out a large chunk of worms as well. She also had a very potbellied appearance despite being very boney. It makes sense she would have these issues because she was found in the woods. When I confronted the manager about that, she said her brother Luke has had no issues (he was adopted by another AWF employee) and in their care her poops were fine. I told them the puppy looks unwell and looks different from the pictures posted on petfinder. Her eyes look bad and they said it's just eye crud that could be wiped away. I tried to wipe it away and it didn't go away. I don't even know if this dog has been looked over by a vet. How do you miss worms or parasites in a puppy if it could be easily be found through a fecal test? A 4+ inch worm means she was infected for a long time. Her medical file did not show she was taking any dewormer medicine, only preventative medicine for worms. I asked for a refund of my $1,100 because of the misrepresentation. They said NO even though I told them she's not the puppy that was described or shown in pictures on petfinder. They lie here to get the dogs adopted without considering their health and welfare. I've included a picture of what she should have looked like and what she looked like when she was given to me. I hope they will give her the medication she needs so she can rid herself of the worms and get the nutrients she needs. I also hope her parasites were not spread to other dogs in the shelter.

One of the vehicles is a food service trailer (that serves 240+ meals four times a day!) that has propane fired cooking equipment. We arrived on site with ample propane for our stay plus some over. During planning, we discovered that there would be no bulk propane available along the route to our next stop: instant panic! River Valley Energy to the rescue!!! Left a voice message late at nite wondering if there would be any possibility of a somewhat urgent delivery of propane in the morning. Call was returned at the open of business, arrangements made for someone to come out in advance to see what was needed, then within 90 minutes the tanker arrived and had our tanks full. We do love to use local businesses whenever we can, so in this case, it was a stroke of luck that there were no truck stops on our route with bulk propane available. Thank you, River Valley Energy for your very good service and responsiveness.

Bethany Home excels at extending and supporting the independence of apartment residents. My 98-year-old mother came to Bethany after entering hospice care in another town due to her "failure to thrive." When she arrived, she could barely travel about 100 feet with a walker before she had to rest. After 6 weeks living in a Bethany independent living apartment, she was thriving, had made new friends,was delighted to be removed from hospice care, and pleased to still be independent. She remained in independent living up until her last week. As her heart failed she moved to a room in healthcare. Thoughtful and attentive personnel from Bethany and hospice gave her a peaceful, dignified end to her long and active life. We are so grateful that Bethany Home could be her home for the last chapter of her life.

The trip is short but the view from the top of the bluff is will worth the few bucks. The ride is a cable car / funicular and is "the world's steepest, shortest scenic railway." It was built so a local business man could get home faster during his lunch break and thus have more time to enjoy his break and take a longer nap. It is seasonal, I think April - November. And is cash only! Very unique and gimmicky but well worth a visit.
