Colleen (of Menagerie Pet Sitting) did an excellent job with our three cats while we were abroad…read morefor two weeks. Colleen clearly loves animals and she took great care of our cats. She's very organized and easy to communicate with. She also has an in-depth knowledge of cats, which proved especially helpful with one of our (previously feral) cats -- who usually hides from everyone but who clearly took a shine to Colleen! I highly recommend Colleen and Menagerie Pet Sitting, and would definitely hire them again.

Her willingness to stretch her schedule allowed me to work the long days and not have to worry about the dogs. She was a lifesaver! Thank you Colleen!

Words cannot express how thankful we are for K9 Rescue & Rehab. I spoke with Tamera over the phone…read moreand she asked all the right questions to get to know us. By the end of the conversation, she offered and arranged for us to meet "Oliver" the dog she matched after listening to us. We met Oliver at a local dog park, fell in love (hard) and took him home with us. What was nice was the no pressure feel from Tamera. She gives a 2 week trial period to make sure it's a good match. We now say that our "Oliver" actually rescued us. We love him so much, and again, we are so thankful for K9RR and Tamera! We're itchin' for a 2nd and K9RR will be the first phonecall we make!

Dealing with Tamera was the one of the top 5 worst experiences I've had in my life…read more This is a SHADY rescue that I DO NOT recommend! I can relate to all of the other negative reviews. When I called to inquire about adopting a puppy Tamera sounded as if she cared. She seemed knowledgeable & acted like she cared about the dogs she was putting up for adoption. After I agreed to adopt the puppy she asked if I'd like to also adopt the older male dog that was her kennel mate. I agreed. It all turned bad after I put in my application & provided many photos of my home. She quit calling back when she said she would. She then moved up the date to meet for pick up. She explained that the male was getting neutered & said I could get the pups on Saturday instead of the original day, Sunday. She told me she would text last night to give me a meet up date/time. I was up late last night & was wondering if I was even going to get them, because she started being horrible about getting back to me & just kept telling me "I work 18 hours a day." I had even offered to drive to Auburn from Ocean Shores to pick up the pups. She refused & insisted we meet up. After failing to text me last night she finally texted this morning & provided a place to meet up & gave a time of 4:30 pm. Just as we were walking out the door she called to change the time to 6 pm & informed that the male is infected with "Coccidia"...a worm. I wouldn't even have been able to see the dogs at 6 pm at night! She took the male in to be neutered on Friday knowing full well he was infected with a parasite! She stated that she had been treating him for 3 days & then said "the puppy doesn't show any signs of it, but I treated her anyway." My roommate was present, I was on speaker phone, so he is a witness to EVERY conversation. She was informed, during the interview, that we had just had to have our chi/mix that we had for 10 years put to sleep on 12/7 due to cancer of the lining of her stomach. Well, a puppy can EASILY get dehydrated & die from Coccidia! If these puppies had died, I would've been EVEN MORE devastated, because I just lost my beloved dog. What I'm really wondering is why she didn't tell me 3 days ago? My roommate finally said "enough is enough, there is something wrong with this rescue, call & talk to her & if she doesn't offer to make this right just cancel." I was so excited about getting the pups! I had so much time, money & emotions into buying their supplies, setting up for them, getting the food she recommended, etc. I was staying up late nights stressing about everything to be all prepared for them. I was watching updated training videos & had invested a lot. I can't even return the food, or the expensive crate (she told me to get a larger one than what I originally ordered). When I called to discuss this with her she didn't even apologize, she YELLED at me & was so unreasonable! I have text messages for proof. She told me that she was "transparent" with me. If she were transparent she would've been HONEST about the dog being infected with parasites 3 days prior to today! I have a genetic autoimmune disease & my immune system is compromised due to the meds that I take, I told her that during the interview. Some types of Coccidia can be transmitted from dogs to humans. Changing of times, failure to contact me on many occasions, were all understandable. HOWEVER, HER FAULURE TO BE HONEST ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THE DOGS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE! When I called her I expected professionalism, I thought she might apologize & offer to hold the dogs until she was sure they were cleared of the parasites... No, she immediately got agitated & YELLED at me! She then admitted that the puppy had some loose stools & when I asked, she informed that they had just been rescued 2 weeks ago. I had adopted my Chi/mix from a rescue through Petfinder, previously, & it was a wonderful experience, so I didn't expect any issues. I will definitely be researching any rescue I work with after this NIGHTMARE! She doesn't have the pets welfare in mind, because she told me not to take the puppy outside until she was 7 months old & her immune system was fully developed. Yet, she put a 3 1/2 month old puppy with a 1 year old Chi/mix that is infected with parasites! If you read the other reviews, her neglect has caused dogs to die from Parvo! Then, she sent nasty texts lying about everything that took place & had the nerve to say "good luck adopting a dog." Tamera is ruining it for people who want to adopt to save animals lives & provide loving homes because they won't be able to trust rescue agencies after the emotional roller coaster she puts people through. Then she is emotionally & verbally abusive after all of her failures to simply be honest! Why is she allowed to work in this field? She should be charged with animal cruelty & neglect! In fact, I am calling the police & I am going to research every animal protection agency I can to report her!

We settled on a Standard Poodle and began our research. We scoured every source we could find and ultimately investigated approximately 105 different breeders up and down the west coast. We narrowed our search down to half a dozen that demonstrated a track record with a high level of breed-specific knowledge, care for the pups, concern for matching their customers with the right pup, a line of breeding that was clean and could provide the right genetic and medical history data for both the sire, dam and puppy. We connected with all 6 and ultimately chose Coplar Creek, which was an incredibly fortunate and blessed decision. Shiela is some kind of dog-matching savant! After we communicated about what we were wanting and arranged a visit, she texted that morning while walking her 3 newest pups that she thought she had the right one for us. We had read enough reviews talking about her matching ability so figured we should pay attention. When we visited there was another pup we were initially drawn to but the longer we interacted with the pups it became more than obvious that our newest family member was going to be the one she identified. We took our new pack mate home. She absolutely NAILED IT! Our pup has flawlessly integrated into our family. First night snuggles and playtime rolled into sleeping straight through the night without a single whimper or whine. It's gotten even better everyday since. His personality is literally exactly what we had been hoping we could find. We are forever grateful to Shiela and her team for blessing us with an incredible new member of our family. If you go elsewhere, proceed at your own risk. Coplar Creek makes it easy, fun and personal.

Shiela's care for her poodles is evident in everything she does and I'm so grateful for my Poodle family members. You won't find a better breeder!

Dec 21 I went into the AVHS looking for a new forever friend. this was not the first stop in my day…read morebut it was the last when I laid eyes on "Nova". I held her and knew I wanted to take her home. I was provided a reasonable sum of money to adopt her and decided to proceed. when I asked what the process would be another employee came in at which time the process was reviewed and I was told the cost would $500 for her (she was a pup)! this was way outside my budget and I certainly would have said yes knowing the outcome of pocket. when my daughter and I mentioned that was not the price quoted we were told that there was nothing they could do. so I left. 1 hour and tears later I turned around and spent money I shouldn't have. "nova" was anticipated to be a small breed (24 pounds or less) wiener mix. Fast forward. "Nova" is now Magnolia/Maggie she is 35-40 pounds and shows every trait of a coon hound. Ending: over paid for a puppy after being quoted a lower price (yes I went back and paid it) that is bigger then I wanted and a breed that doesn't really work in an office due to the whining, howling and need for activity. oh and did I mention that they forgot to send her home with meds for after spay and wanted me to drive back from Yelm to Auburn? nice facility. disorganized. Not willing to follow through in incorrect pricing quotes.

She had been well treated, and we are very thankful that they found her and gave her a good safe place until we could come get her. My son said that she was so excited to see him.

I intend this to be constructive: please fix your system!…read more 1. volunteers: please let the volunteers try to get through the system once so they understand the user experience and understand the waitlist app and how it looks, what the user sees, and how it calls us. everyone should have to do this. today i was treated rudely (like a scam artist or something) by volunteers while i was doing precisely what i was told to do by the waitlist and the front desk. 2. the waitlist app: the waitlist app is absolutely and totally broken.

I waited again. the third time i was at the top, I went to the adoption center they said my name was nowhere on the list at all. it went on and on! I was there for 2 hours of this. I know that you are underfunded but really--why is this so bizarrely inept and broken? Just make a PAPER LIST and call us, like a restaurant hostess would do.
