We adopted two kitties (Mocha and Latte) in April. We had them for two months. The website stated…read morethat Mocha "loves the attention of people." In the two months that they lived with us, we were never able to touch her. They pooped and peer all over our home (on our bed and various rugs) despite having three clean litter boxes. We consulted with foster people, our vet, the spca- tried EVERYTHING (feliway, cat attract, containing them in small areas)- whatever was suggested and could not stop the behavior. We called Animal Kind and left messages, trying to get there help. No one called us back. Once someone did actually answer the phone and "understood our concerns." We had to surrender them and I cried for a week. They are back on the website with their same initial and inaccurate description. It was a very traumatic experience for us and most certainly for those poor kitties. I pray someone takes them home. And I will never go to Animal Kind again.

Update: After taking our new cat to the vet for a new patient check up, we learned that our cat's…read morepre-adoption health check missed or failed to inform us of a terrible and painful dental infection. Our poor kitty's gums were fire-truck red! She has since received treatment and is doing better! We also learned that it is not uncommon for sick cats to be adopted out of animal kind. I do not fault the main staff, as they have so many cats that they care for and so few people. I am however disappointed in whoever performed the health check. Any vet that could miss a dental infection like that is either under-informed or negligent as checking a cat's mouth is a very routine part of a check-up. So I do not understand how a vet would miss that without acting out of either ignorance or negligence. I sincerely hope they do better going forward

Beware, these people will nickel and dime you to death and they have no shame about it. They know…read moreyou're a captive audience because you can't get your animal unless you pay whatever they feel like charging you. I think this late pickup thing, which I will describe below, is a scam that they do on purpose. They told me to pick up my cat at 3:15. I arrived at 3:18, and they charged me $33 for being two minutes late! Apparently "the technician had to stay late," yeah right! They even tried to say that I was supposed to pick her up at 3 and when I showed them the email THEY SENT ME that said 3:15, they still charged me the $33. And not only that, they were incredibly rude and disrespectful to me for no reason. This place is such a rip off. I wish I'd never come here. Oh, and then they made me wait in the (boiling hot) front hallway to get my cat for another 25 minutes! I finally had to ask somebody else at the front desk what was going on. But I'm sure the poor technician must have had to be paid even more for that time, right? And I won't even go into all of the other things that they wasted my time and money with. But I will warn you, if they say that you need a plastic carrier to get your cat spayed, you don't. Half of the people there had fabric ones and when I mentioned it to one of the workers they had no idea what I was talking about. So thanks also for making me buy another cat carrier that I didn't need! That said, the person that actually did the vet work on my cat was very kind and knowledgeable and obviously cares about the animals. Too bad this place is a nightmare otherwise.

The Columbia Greene Humane Society did not let me adopt a dog because my mom's address did not have…read moreme listed as a resident there which is news to me since that's where I live and receive all of my mail. They were very rude to me over the phone when I tried to explain my living situation. However apparently according to them I don't have a place of residency, and we don't own our home. They do not value the dogs finding a forever home like they claim. When I had the meet and greet with the dog, I picked out which was a Siberian Husky Mix, I even told them that I already went shopping for the dog's necessities. Their staff also is unprofessional and has poor response time as I waited a week to hear back from a staff member after I had already been there and contacted them on various occasions regarding my application in which I had to leave a voicemail even during their regular business hours.

I recently saw negative reviews so I wanted to add in- Dr. Weckesser and Dr. Shulman are fantastic!…read more They are always understanding and validating when I have a concern, even if based in anxiety. When my one cat passed and my anxiety was heightened regarding my other cats, they were understanding. They take time to explain things in a way that makes sense. No- the office is not "money hungry." Plenty of times, I have called and asked if certain things are worth coming in for or if can be treated at home. The office will call back in a timely manner, and advise me after consulting with a doctor or tech. They have helped my pets and I avoid many trips (financially great but my guys now hate car rides) Even after moving, I kept coming here. Sure, my cats don't like the car rides but their integrity, skill, and character are worth it. Thanks for everything RAH!

I had such a negative experience at Community Animal Hospital - between the price gauging,…read morereceiving curses on instagram from their underpaid staff, ignorance of Dr. Redden who told me he had no idea what kind of food to give a cat for kidney disease and told me to perform primary research after verbally abusing me (I was told this is his usual demeanor), I was apprehensive with this animal hospital. Talk about a new world! For the first time, my cat wasn't feral in the foyer or with any of the vets and staff at Rhinebeck Animal Hospital. The level of caring, compassion, knowledge, and experience by every one of the staff at Rhinebeck Animal Hospital is stellar. I realized what a sh*tshow Community Animal Hospital is in comparison! Customarily, my cat has to be sedated and contrary to Community Animal Hospital, it didn't take 1-2 days but 1-2 hours to recover. There's a lot more, especially paying 67% less on fees - the estimates were right on target unlike Community Animal Hospital which changes estimates on a whim. Most importantly, I was informed that my cat's lab work revealed a reversal of his kidney disease in the one year since he's been a patient at Rhinebeck Animal Hospital. That's not only a miracle, but a testimony to them!

I wish that there was a way to give more than five stars. Bend is so fortunate to have Anneliese…read moreand Ryan as dog trainers. I first started working with Anneliese about 5 years ago. Because of my work schedule, I recognized that I wouldn't have the time I needed to do the extensive socialization that I wanted to do with my puppy. I started the search for a day board situation where the trainer would work with the puppy during the day, and I could augment that training at night and on my days off. After a thorough search, I decided to go with Anneliese and I've been working with her ever since. I've taken classes with her (group and private) and worked with her through day and extended board and training. As someone who trials my dog, I'm extremely picky about dog trainers. Since the industry isn't regulated, there are a lot of people out there claiming to be professional trainers with few qualifications. Anneliese is the real deal. One of the things I love about Anneliese is that she really wants to see you and your dog succeed whether its as a house pet with good manners, or in competition combined with qualifications and experience to make it happen. She's with you all the way giving both you and your dog the tools and confidence you need to be successful. I would highly encourage everyone to work with her.
