Lisa & her daughter(I believe they are volunteers) were very kind to me, provided information about the process and acknowledged me as a human being which I appreciate so much. I met a precious cuddle bug, Macie, who I fell in love with. Unfortunately, my family and I aren't ready for a furry family member at this time because we travel often. So I returned to ask about what type of food the cats eat to drop off a donation. Sadly, only one woman acknowledged me. Maybe the staff feels overwhelmed, sadden by the reality of a shelter. I volunteer so I understand and have patience but it was an uncomfortable experience. Imagine how speaking to potential adopters and educating some of the cats personalities, etc could help them find forever homes with good people. The cats are all beautiful and deserve affection and love! My donations will continue and I hope the staff can warm up to me!

Over the years, we had taken him to six Vets and all were unsatisfactory. As soon as we walked into Meadowbrook, we were warmly greeted by all the girls at the front desk and the smiling faces of the waiting pet parents. Ashley even left the desk to say hello to our boy. The room was spotless, comfortable, no antiseptic smell, no barking dogs, and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. All our fur kids, dogs & cats, got along too! After a short wait, Dr. Amanda walked into the exam room and, upon meeting her, we immediately knew that we had found our Vet for life! She is totally amazing...warm and extremely knowledgeable. We discussed our boy's needs with her and she was totally on board. No extras were pushed on us and they were reasonable for their services. I'm sure you love your fur babies as we do, so if you're looking for a Vet, forget the rest because Meadowbrook is the best! We HIGHLY recommend!

Would I leave my human child with a pediatrician and wait out in the parking lot, during their examination? Could they limit capacity of people in the office? Could I stand outside the exam room (well over six feet), masked, so I could see what's going on? I would like to discuss concerns with the Vet. How would I do that? Listen I get it, I want to comply and be safe. But, in my opinion , this is unacceptable. Shannon very curtly said for me to call back at a later time to see if the rules would be changing.

What a terrible grooming experience! If I could give zero stars, I would! I had an appointment…read morescheduled for about a week and received a call the day before the scheduled appointment saying that the groomer my dog was scheduled with, which I selected any groomer as this is not my regular grooming location, had called out and they could not accommodate the grooming appointment. They asked if I can reschedule for another day that weekend after which I said I could not as we were traveling and needed her groomed before we left. They then rescheduled her for the day after her originally scheduled appointment. The day of the grooming was a nightmare. She had a 3pm appointment. We called to see if we could drop her off a little before the appointment because we had to be somewhere else at the same time and was told yes. My husband got there 20 mins before the appointment and waiting for 20 mins for the groomer to come to the front. The groomer never arrived and he had to leave. He went back shortly after 3pm as was greeted with a long line. After waiting in line for over 10 mins, he finally made it to the front and was scolded for being late. My husband told them he was waiting in line and was told that they would check the camera, which I thought was extremely rude. I received a phone call from one of the groomers 15 or so mins later saying he had taken over the grooming appointment, not the one my husband spoke with at drop off, and wanted to go over the hair cut. We asked for a long cut and he said she was a little matted and would need to cut it a little shorter than a long cut. We said it was ok because we've experience this before with her normal groomer, a different Petco location, and figured she has a lot of hair and it wouldn't be too short. We were also informed the appointment would take 3-4 hours. By 7pm we still hadn't heard from anyone. We thought to give them time as they seemed really busy that day and our regular groomer usually calls if they were running behind. We called 7:45pm only to be told that our dog had been ready, they were closing at 8pm, and that I had been called several time. I received not one call since speaking with the groomer around 3pm. My husband goes to pick up our dog and she was completely shaved! I was furious when he came home. This was completely unacceptable and unnecessary. We will NEVER return here for grooming! Thankfully it's just hair that will grow back but it's still cold out and for my dog to be practically bald is devastating, especially since she is meeting family for the first time.

When I first arrived, the staff didn't know why I was there yet, and they immediately offered me a meal in the dining hall. I thought that was incredibly sweet. It was humbling to see how many people were there, sad in one sense, but also comforting to know that places like this exist so no one has to go hungry. Everyone is truly welcome. I was then directed to the back parking area to enter through the staff and volunteer entrance for donations. Once I got to the kitchen, a few of the guys came out right away to help me unload the turkeys onto a cart so they could bring them inside and prepare them for Thanksgiving distribution. The entire staff was so kind, helpful, and warm. Their appreciation and the way they carry themselves honestly brought tears to my eyes. I was told the Inn has been around for many years, and seeing firsthand the work they do just reinforced how important places like this are, not only during the holidays, but every single day.
