Somehow Wylde Horses has the best volunteers around! The facility runs like a well oiled machine…read more Everyone is so friendly, kind, and helpful. We've been attending Wylde Horses for coming up on one year. My 4 year old looks forward to her sessions every week. I love the options we've had for single or group lessons also. She's currently paired with a friend who suits where she is in her development, and they have become good friends. We've seen improvement in her speech, balance, and strength! As a family we are so grateful a place like this exists so near to our house.

Our 17-month-old saw Mohini for about five sessions, and we were so pleased with the progress we…read moresaw in such a short time. After just a few sessions, he started to really find his voice using some of the techniques and exercises Mohini taught us. As first-time parents, we also found the sessions incredibly educational. Mohini not only worked directly with our son, but also gave us practical guidance on how to encourage and foster communication and language development at home. We left each session with a better understanding of how to support him in everyday interactions.

Talky Tots came highly recommended by both a neighbor and my son's school, and every bit of praise…read moreis absolutely deserved by the entire team. Our son worked one-on-one with Sarah for about a year, and the transformation in his speech was nothing short of remarkable. He went from being far behind his classmates to meeting--and in many cases surpassing--their speech levels. What sets Sarah apart is not only her incredible skill as a teacher, but also her ability to truly connect with her students. She taught our son in ways that resonated with him, making each session engaging and effective. Most importantly, she built such a strong bond with him that he would look forward to their time together and was genuinely sad when their sessions ended. We are beyond grateful for the impact Sarah has had on our son's life. If you are considering speech therapy, I cannot recommend Sarah and the Talky Tots team highly enough.

Riders/students are either assigned a small, big, fast, or slow walking horse, depending on the child's needs. Kids just fall in love with their horse instantly! Students learn their numbers, letters, colors and so much more!! The instructors and volunteers help the riders improve their mobility as well, by doing streches and doing different postions on the moving horse. It helps their muscles improve and be able to move more. They also get to practice their speaking skills. Everytime the student comes back, you see the improvement in them. The staff is the best. Some riders even grow friendships with them.

I can't give enough positive feedback on this place, the amazing work they do as a local nonprofit,…read moreand how great Meg and all of the staff are. The prices for lessons are extremely reasonable for the services provided, and both me and my daughter do lessons at the same time. So, it's become a nice tradition for us to do together! This is a truly amazing place! Meg is a famous equestrian who has won many competitions and earned many awards for her amazing riding skill. She has competed professionally and taught different types of horseback riding skills all over the WORLD!!! The riding lessons she provides at MARA are individually catered to the needs and abilities of each rider! This is especially important in my case because my daughter has special needs and a real difficulty maintaining interest and concentration on any one thing for more than a few minutes at a time. Meg saw this and has been able to help my daughter to focus and understand how to control the horse and has now actually been able to do some short riding independently! After having had about 6 lessons now, I am able to easily see an increase in my daughter's confidence both on the horse and in daily interactions with people in general. My daughter's mood has gotten better and it is very evident to see that she is happier and much more capable of staying focused on individual tasks. My daughter's teachers have also recently made comments to both her mother and me about seeing improvement in her behavior and focus in the classroom! I truly believe that this place is very special and I firmly believe that because of the magic here, my daughter will continue to progress with her riding skills as she grows up (she just turned 6 years old). I can easily picture her riding as an adult. I am so lucky that I found this place! Thank you Meg! You and the crew are amazing!!!

I felt the time was right to fall in again. All of the rescue facilities and shelters did not have small dogs, and there is no way I wanted a Pit Bull or German Shepherd. It's too big a dog to share my bed with. So, we drove down to see a beautiful long haired Chihuahua to see if we clicked. Cosmo is very shy. We didn't get to pet him, but we knew to take it slow and let Him come when he's ready. Last night he jumped into bed with up! I'm very pleased to share my life with this beautiful K9. Thank you to the rescue group, and thank you Chris and his daughter for fostering my fur baby.

You can tell by how the puppies/dogs respond around her. She is a very honest, sweet, informative doggy foster mom. She provided information from toys, food & extensive doggy tips. She is always responsive by phone and text. Even when I text her late at night, she is always responding! Before the actual adopting day, she would send you pictures of your puppy to keep you updated. Truthfully, she and how Art and paw animal rescue is ran, should be an example of how all the animal rescues should be. I adopted my puppy from a group of 9 puppies and she knew everything about each and every single one of them. One thing I appreciate about her is, she doesn't get motivated by money but rather she truly cares for the dogs and want them to find the perfect home. She really takes the time to find the perfect home for each dog! You will not regret adopting! Also her company is ran from donations so please head onto the website and donate (: Thank you Liraz for the amazing experience.

Unless those are met, we do not take a vacation. On last Saturday, we went to Petsmart to get some dog food and cat food. My wife found this lovely dog that she would not leave without her. Art and Paws Animal Rescue went through all the questions about our living environment to make sure the dog was going to a right place, made sure that we were committed, not compulsive and showed us the papers with medical history and everything. Lulu is so happy being with other brothers and a sister and fit right in without hesitation. There are some dog rescues that only concentrate on making dogs adopted but Art and Paws Rescue really care for the dogs and we felt the right thing as dog owners. I already sent them thank you email plus lots of pictures ans will follow up with them continuously. Great job "Art & Paws Animal Rescue" and thank you for letting us having Lulu.
