The last few days, she came to our home with our puppy to help acclimate her to us and to our 3yr old 15# beagle. When she came back home, it was like she was a 3yr old trained dog. Shannon kept in contact, kept us informed, asked permission about some choices, explained, and I felt confident our puppy was receiving good care. Our situation with 2 dogs is on her Facebook page and I am happy to be called upon for recommendation to people who are inquiring. We will continue having lessons at home and are working with our beagle on some things also. What a rewarding and positive experience this has all been. I look forward to continuing to learn more, as a handler, and to build a relationship with K9.

I worked with Shannon with one of my fosters. Her unprofessional demeanor and inhuman techniques…read moreare horrible. During the intake, she failed to mention she would be using a shock collar, despite knowing the dog came from an abusive past and knowing the dog was receptive to other positive training techniques but just needed a professional. The dog had never been trained before being fostered and just needed help with not pulling on his leash or jumping to say hi to people in a non-aggressive way. Think of someone who has never had attention, interaction or socializing and is getting it for the first time. You're gonna need to learn how to reign it in. Shannon was about to show up at my door with a shock collar strapped to the dog's neck without ever letting me know at the one week checkin. Once I found out that she expected me to continue using a shock collar on this dog I was fostering, she sent me a series of unprofessional text messages putting the owness on me and trying to guilt trip me despite me asking her to not contact me. If you believe in training your dog in a humane, positive environment where you don't have and "surprises" by the trainer, look elsewhere. By the way--many professional associations and other trainers don't approve of using pain to train dogs--despite what Shannon believes.

Sadly, he passed yesterday, but he had a great life, and part of that was certainly him looking forward to seeing Veronica each weekday.

Thank you again, Veronica.

While the application, interview process, and the meet and greet was fairly easy and lax... and we…read moreare absolutely in love with the pup we adopted... we are disappointed that the health status wasn't fully vetted (like other rescues). We we told our pup was healthy from the rescue/Vet, we still took the pup to our regular Vet after bringing him home. It turns out, he still had fleas AND had a bad ear infection (and no medication was administered for it). Neither of which were addressed during the rescue's in-take and during his care/time at the farm. After another week... and we found live worms in our pup's stools and immediately had to buy more medicine for tapeworms. I read previous reviews saying similar experiences (but given they were anywhere from 1-2 yrs ago I thought this might have been addressed with the time that had passed), but no as of Nov 2024 these are still very valid conditions to be aware of. The animals need to be further tested and treated during the adoption process (and really should be done during a quarantine period to avoid it being a constant cycle at the Farm). To add to the issue, we have other pets at home, so, unbeknownst, introducing fleas and worms to the rest of our gang, plus remediation, was very frustrating. We've also asked for the formal rabies certificate, as well as the tag... and feel like the request goes ignored. They only hand wrote in a Rabies # on the adoption paperwork which doesn't seem very valid. I'm sad I have to write a "bad" review, because we'd like to believe the rescue's intetions are in the right place. But I hope FKAR considers these similar comments/complaints going forward to truly ensure they are adopting out healthy animals.

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT…read more This place is extremely rude, they say they dont hold cats but when i came in here with my boyfriend they handed OUR cat to other people. He was waiting in line and had already checked in. Someone was supposed to go in and grab him before entering the back and once these other people came, they completely ignored him. They hadn't even checked in yet. (Why did the other couple get priority over us?) (They were obviously holding the cat for them+ paid extra.) For context, He had gotten off work and had a couple of dirt stains on his jeans. It was also our daughter's birthday. We left without a cat because they judged upon his appearance and lied about multiple details. We placed an application on a sunday they said that they gave the cat to the other people because they placed one on saturday. They 100% hold cats. Their place is also disgusting!! All of the cats seem to be very sick and uncared for. Poop everywhere in the kittens section. There is also a tan worker who is very rude, same with a tall white man. They have extremely unpleasant attitudes. If you encounter these people, avoid them!! The woman kept pressuring my boyfriend about his personal life and getting extremely personal and uncomfortable. Horrible experience. I would not recommend going here if you really care about the health of your cat and customer service. They are not nice people. Very judgmental. Anyone who responds to this review is going to twist this story. I know very well what happened and how we were treated. DO NOT COME HERE. I really mean it when i say i am not a mean person myself! This places deserves a 0 star. A whole bunch of old cranky people on the job.

I would 10/10 recommend them for anyone wanting a family oriented German shepherd to join their family. We love our boy, Ranger.
