This is a cool volunteer-run rescue facility that primarily cares for sea turtles... but has also…read moretaken in other animals that were injured or that people adopted as pets but were unwilling or unable to care properly for them. While the lobby/entry area is free to visit and has mostly snakes in cages, seeing the other animals requires a tour. We paid $11 apiece for a group tour in the off season, without advance reservations. The tour was very informative, and we learned the stories behind each of the captive animals. Those giving the tour were able to answer most of the questions that were asked. The facility is sponsored by a number of local businesses, and animals seemed to be generally well cared for. A visit here is time well spent.

A truly worthy endeavor staffed by knowledgeable, kind and courageous caregivers…read more Kylie (hope I spelled your name right?) took WONDERFUL care of us (moi and herself) This organization is a nonprofit and they do incredibly important work with local injured animals, particularly but not limited to, sea turtles. They have a variety of turtles that are in various stages of rehabilitation with plans to release although there are several that due to their injuries will be permanent residents. The guided tours are $11 for adults ... which is a HUGE value next to other activities on Mustang island or anywhere in the costal bend for that matter. If you are in the area and have an interest or love for the wildlife... this is a MUST on your itinerary! The staff are almost all volunteers and they clearly love what they do! Definitely come and experience this worthwhile organization and SUPPORT IT if you're able! It's a very good thing!

This is nice eclectic thrift shop on S. Staples St. that exists in a smaller older home that has…read morebeen converted into a thrift shop. There's about four parking spaces out front. Each room in the house is dedicated towards men's, womens, girls, and kitchen items. They do have a lot of clothes, but they also specialize in dishware, unique knickknacks, kitchen items, pictures, and shoes. They do have a unique tag numbering system which determines how much of a discount you get. They are only open during limited hours of 9 to 3 Thursday through Saturday. The photos may entice you to visit.

This is a thrift shop that benefits our feline friends. Once inside you discover, this place is…read moreactually bigger than you thought. One thing about this shop is that everything is well merchandised and properly compartmentalized. There are certain sectioned off areas which feature specific items. The clothing is better than much of what you would find at your local Goodwill and the prices are about the same. They have everything you would expect a decent thrift shop would have, but everything looks in better condition than you would see at a Goodwill. And once you find everything you wanna purchase, you spin the wheel to see how much you can save, up to 50% if you're lucky. If you are into thrifting and you're in Corpus Christi, this should be on your list.

She arrived healthy and happy. Before I adopted and sent money I read everything out there about…read moreRural Tank...the good and the bad. Upon research I determined the Rural Tank positive experiences far outweigh the negativity. Please note the brunt of the negativity is coming from one source that is no longer connected to Rural Tank. I have been personally contacted by this person who felt it was her job to warn me and tell me I should take my dog to the vet. ?!?!?!?! My dog was at the vet 2 days after her arrival for a complete check up and I don't need an angry rando stranger with a vendetta to seek me out like a stalker and lecture me on caring for my FAMILY. It's off putting and telling of the nature of this mission she is on. Contacting strangers multiple times with links to negative social media groups and pet care instructions is not normal behavior. It's harassment. My experience with Rural Tank, Kayla, and my puppy's Texas foster, was 100% on the up and up. Because of my dogs young age and size she was not fully vaccinated (other than parvo pre transport) nor spayed and I knew this going in. She arrived with a packet containing veterinary records and a microchip. I cannot speak for everyone's experience but please do your own objective research...there are far more positive stories of happy families and happy pets thanks to Rural Tank...literally hundreds upon hundreds on the RT private Facebook group. Private because...note story above on rando stranger contacting me and posting on my personal social media accounts. For some folks, boundaries are difficult. Did I worry before my pup arrived...YES!! I'm not stupid, bad things happen and animals can get sick despite care. The important message is no regrets here. We love our lil'nugget and are grateful to all connected to Rural Tank who helped her find her way into our hearts and home. This is our experience. Now I'm going to go back to putting my time and good energy into enjoying my amazing HEALTHY AND HAPPY pup. Wishing you all happy adopting and future cuddles. (Update 1/28/24) Wow...now this same person is contacting my husband to spread her vendetta. Yes...this is the normal behavior of a sane person. She should be GRATEFUL that this dog found a home such as ours. I had responded to her that our puppy is healthy, has veterinary care and no issues. That should be enough to leave us alone. Yet she continued to harp at me until I had to 'go there'. That her only goal is to harp and harass, is all you need to know. She cannot accept that there are more successful and happy adoptions out of Rural Tank than there are negative. Still grateful for this beautiful sassy soul I get to love. It's sad that this upsets her. Apparently she wants us to have had a bad experience?

ZERO stars. Please beware!! Do not adopt from this agency. Adopted a kitten who was extremely…read moreemaciated and incredibly sick and within 2 days required an ER visit for shallow breathing, diarrhea, and blood in her stool. She also had worms and ringworm. GI symptoms were severe but able to be treated due to us bringing her to the ER vet soon after adopting. Kayla Denney refused to refund the adoption fee (stopped answering all messages or requests for a phone call) despite records indicating the animal was incredibly sick and required emergency care, advised by my vet, after only a few days of having the pet. Adoption contract also included a spay which was never provided and no refund received, therefore, she does not uphold her contract or safely adopt animals out in good health. Scam and concerning ethical practices.

I accepted a proposal for the purchase and installation of a new computer. The proposal included…read more"Onsite/In-Home Service after remote diagnosis (performed by Absolute Communications) 3 years". I purchased the computer on April of 2015. This past April a tech had to come on-site, after repeated attempts to resolve the issue remotely, to fix the issue. In the process of the repair, all of our accounting data was lost. Excuses were made, and lies were told regarding how and why the data was lost. At one point, someone attempted to point the blame in my direction! I then spent 22 hours, over the next 1.5 weeks, re-entering date from Jan '16 - April '16. In short, I was able to direct them to restoring past data, from an old computer. This whole mess resulted in complete and permanent loss of March "15 - Dec '15 accounting data. Never once was an apology uttered. I later discovered that they were planning on charging over $1,000 for the "work" that was performed when I called to make a request: To compensate me for 22 hours of my time that it took to re-enter 2016 data, which was taken from other duties in need of attention. That is when I found out they planned on charging me over $1000. I was told at that time that the time I spent could possibly be credited to the amount we owed. I then began disputing the matter of the 3 year service agreement, according to the proposal I accepted. After several months and multiple attempts via telephone and email, they have finally officially refused to honor the proposal submitted by their company. They did not send the bill, as they were able to collect the amount from Dell under my computer's warranty. They have tried to claim that a mistake was made in the preparation of the proposal and that certain words should not have been included as well as certain words "shouldn't be on that specific line". I feel that this was, in essence, a bait and switch. We are a small nonprofit organization and I feel that everyone should know how this company conducts business. The service agreement was one of the top reasons I purchased with Absolute Communications as this made me feel confident in quick responses and a personal relationship with the company that would be performing any repairs, etc....
