While in the area I visited the Waco Humane Society Animal Shelter, because I cannot help myself…read morewhen it comes to dogs! Located across from the famous Magnolia restaurant, it's easy to get to on the free shuttle service, with a stop right outside of the shelter. I walked in and the employee at the front desk let me know where all the dogs were and if I had any questions to ask her. First thing's first - I was shocked by how many dogs were here. There were multiple rooms with dogs, ranging from puppies to seniors. Many of the dogs were just happy to see someone visit the area. In the center of the dog area is an outside space for the dogs, and during the time I was visiting, they were cleaning the floors. After I looked around I asked the employee at the front desk area about the adoption process, as I was curious to learn more about how this humane society differs from the one at home where I volunteer. She told me about the application process, which was very simple, straightforward and is processed quickly. And the fee to adopt a dog was only $50! I was shocked by the low adoption fee. If I lived in Texas I have no doubt I would've ended this visit with adopting a dog. I encourage all the locals to adopt a furbaby from here! There were a lot of dogs, waiting for homes and the adoption process is very easy.

As soon as we met him, we fell in LOVE. While I was filing out an application, his foster mom came and discussed his case with me to make sure we knew how best to care for him. That meant so much to me. The humane society was beautiful, clean, and the animals looked very well cared for. They clearly cared about his welfare! They described his temperament online, they discussed his care with me, sent me home with his medical records, and updated his microchip info in my name before we even left to take him home. We would definitely adopt from here again. :)

Shortly after which she passed away and for three days this little pup was alone with no food or water and feeling abandoned again. But, for a shy newly social again dog, she absolutely loves going to Pat's. After her first visit she doesn't have to be coaxed or carried in. Her grooming job is perfectly done and brushed out thoroughly. I have only seen small dogs, so I can't say how she would handle or if she does large dogs. But for my Mother's Schnauzer mix it was a match made in heaven and the price was not just reasonable, it is affordable for senior pet owners.

The groomer also lied and said she growled.... I was standing right there the cat did not growl. Worse is the grooming area was filthy and she literally placed my cat on a table full of left over dog clippings nails and hair! They want our rabies verification ...I'd like to see the health dept record! So long story short absolutely don't recommend for cats but honestly there's no way I would take dogs here either! They seem very inexperienced and again cleanliness is an issue!

I handed her a large amount of cash and she handed me the puppy. I asked for his registration papers and she said she left them at home and would mail them to me. A week later, no papers, so I called her. She had been real busy and didn't have time but would get right on it. Two weeks later, no papers, so I called again only to get another lame excuse. After a year of back and forth texts she never produced the papers, so I filed a suit against her. She has been hiding from the Constable who is trying to serve papers on her, but he swears he will eventually find her. There are others she has promised papers and did not provide them. If any would like to testify in my case, my email is mmartin79@austin.rr.com.

They've failed on multiple occasions. My dog had a lump appear within 2 days, I stopped in on a whim, the Vet had no appointments and was wandering around hap hazardly, so I asked if she could feel the lump and tell me her opinion. No, I have to set up an appointment, and pay 45 bucks. Which I did. She felt the lump, did nothing else. and said give her some steroids. (which are known to be very hard on animals....) Oh, ok. I guess heres 45 bucks that it took me 6 hours to earn at my cheap ass job. Thanks so much for that. Our last instance we brought dog in, just for a check. The entire appointment ran us 200.00 + dollars. 3 different types of medications (only one of which we used.) and a blood panel. They gave me pain meds for my dog! com'mon! (and a mouth wash @13.00$$) I refuse to attend this clinic again, they will only (even with some resistance) try to charge you as much as they can get from you. Yes, they are capable - but so are many many other vets that will take YOU and not just themselves and their winter vacation costs into consideration. I'm VERY disappointed in you Emersons Veterinary Hospital.

I took my wolf hybrid to Dr. Emerson to get her annual check-up and to get booster shots. This was…read morethe first time for me to take her to the vet since we adopted her less than a year ago. I loved to see that there is a separate entrance for dogs and for cats. The staff behind the counter was very friendly and I already had my paperwork done since the new patient forms are on their website. They did not mind that my dog wants to put her front paws on the counter to say hello. Everyone involved was very sweet to my scared pup. They petted her and spoke softly while they held her for her shots. The doctor saw us on time and we were in and out in a flash. Dr. Emerson answered all of my questions and even anticipated some before I thought them up. The only "negative" I have is that they didn't tell me to wait to get her heartworm results before giving her preventative meds. (Partially my fault) Also, their website is difficult to navigate so it can be hard to find the information you need. Things to know: They do check ups, spaying/neutering, washing, etc. They see almost every pet you can imagine! Dogs, cats, reptiles, rabbits, pigs, birds, etc. They are fair priced. Not so cheap that you wonder if they even have a license but not so expensive that you know that they are only in it for the money. They take cash, check, and all major credit cards. I was able to schedule an appointment for the next day (annual check-up).
