She arrived healthy and happy. Before I adopted and sent money I read everything out there about…read moreRural Tank...the good and the bad. Upon research I determined the Rural Tank positive experiences far outweigh the negativity. Please note the brunt of the negativity is coming from one source that is no longer connected to Rural Tank. I have been personally contacted by this person who felt it was her job to warn me and tell me I should take my dog to the vet. ?!?!?!?! My dog was at the vet 2 days after her arrival for a complete check up and I don't need an angry rando stranger with a vendetta to seek me out like a stalker and lecture me on caring for my FAMILY. It's off putting and telling of the nature of this mission she is on. Contacting strangers multiple times with links to negative social media groups and pet care instructions is not normal behavior. It's harassment. My experience with Rural Tank, Kayla, and my puppy's Texas foster, was 100% on the up and up. Because of my dogs young age and size she was not fully vaccinated (other than parvo pre transport) nor spayed and I knew this going in. She arrived with a packet containing veterinary records and a microchip. I cannot speak for everyone's experience but please do your own objective research...there are far more positive stories of happy families and happy pets thanks to Rural Tank...literally hundreds upon hundreds on the RT private Facebook group. Private because...note story above on rando stranger contacting me and posting on my personal social media accounts. For some folks, boundaries are difficult. Did I worry before my pup arrived...YES!! I'm not stupid, bad things happen and animals can get sick despite care. The important message is no regrets here. We love our lil'nugget and are grateful to all connected to Rural Tank who helped her find her way into our hearts and home. This is our experience. Now I'm going to go back to putting my time and good energy into enjoying my amazing HEALTHY AND HAPPY pup. Wishing you all happy adopting and future cuddles. (Update 1/28/24) Wow...now this same person is contacting my husband to spread her vendetta. Yes...this is the normal behavior of a sane person. She should be GRATEFUL that this dog found a home such as ours. I had responded to her that our puppy is healthy, has veterinary care and no issues. That should be enough to leave us alone. Yet she continued to harp at me until I had to 'go there'. That her only goal is to harp and harass, is all you need to know. She cannot accept that there are more successful and happy adoptions out of Rural Tank than there are negative. Still grateful for this beautiful sassy soul I get to love. It's sad that this upsets her. Apparently she wants us to have had a bad experience?

The owner, Kayla Denney, refuses to return money. She pointed the family to her attorney who also refuses to return calls and emails. Rural T.A.N.K Rescue is no longer allowed to sell dogs in Massachusetts. Several other families in town were sold very ill dogs. Other Massachusetts residents complained about similar occurrences of very ill dogs from Denney's business. Think twice about buying dogs from Rural T.A.N.K Rescue.

PALS is actually a loving caring place with many great new pets needing homes…read more Anybody who doesn't Know that after a "hysterectomy" a pet needs pain meds...! Well... Because PALS people Are nice, they do not try to embarrass folks that come to this nearly free clinic by saying, "you need to buy..." if people had money to burn, they would be at a private vet! They give a long lasting pain shot to dogs during surgery. These folks do an awesome job. I got my lab, Downtown Abbey here. She was found as a pup in downtown Corpus by the big church on the hill. She was not just fed and sheltered. She was given love, walks, cuddles. As are All the pets there. Various Girl Scouts etc come in several days a week for love and walks. Pets and cuddles. Abbey would not be the happy go lucky girl she is, knowing how to sit and stay without having had good care. House trained, too. I love Abbey and PALS!

I went to pick her up and asked the lady there if my dog would need pain medication and her response was "oh to late the vet left" I was disgusted! We got home and my dog was crying not being able to lay down or she'd cry even more. The incision looks like a little kid did it it's long and jagged up. And the lady seemed to be in a hurry to get me out of there. She didn't even take the time explain how the heart worm test went or if they had already given her pain medicine and she didn't tell me if they gave my dog her rabies shot till I asked her. This place is uncalled for this place is a joke! and should be closed down permanently!!! I am beyond disgusted by this place. They have -100 love for pets!!! I regret taking my dog there and if I could turn back time and take her somewhere else I WOULD. I will go on every review app possible and warn pet owners what a horrible place this is. No animal deserves to go to this hell hole. 0 stars!!!!
