It's not hard for me to come up with a reason to spoil my pup, so I had to limit myself to one toy and one treat. Making a selection was no easy feat, as there's so much to choose from! In the end, I walked out with a Kong squeaker toy I've never seen at any other chain store or online at Chewy. I also got some dog ice cream to make at home, of which they have lots of flavors! Besides that, they have a wide array of treats from more independent vendors than you will find at mainstream shops. The owner was so nice and you can tell loves animals! I wish I lived closer so that I could be a more frequent visitor.

The…read moreAnimal Shelter (sometimes wrongly referred to as the dog pound) hosts a monthly discounted price microchip implant and rabies vaccination on the first Tuesday of every month. They even gave out FREE personalized "dog tags" for everyone participating when I was there! The City Of Tallahassee had a promotional table setup handing out free colored bandanas. Free iced cold bottled water was handed out in line under two temporary canopies/awnings to get pets and people cooled down and shielded from the 95 degree sunshine. Totally awesome!!!!! The entire Animal Shelter staff was FANTASTIC! They were on their A-game. Necessary forms, paperwork and pens were distributed along the entire line to be completed beforehand. They even started letting pets and owners inside to get out of the stifling heat. Once called into the exam room, the procedure was extremely efficient, with near zero stress to my pet. The Doctor and support staff were extremely professional, handled my pet with a gentle touch and provided verbal reassurances to my kitten as the procedure occurred. It took less than a minute for both the microchip insertion and rabies vaccine to be administered. The entire process took 45 minutes from beginning to end for me. Simply fantastic! It is recommended to visit 'The Fix Thrift Shop - Be The Solution' first as they are the beginning point on the path to good pet stewardship. There you can get crucial 'new pet owner' information, microchip and rabies info, spay and neuter vouchers, etc. Always remember, good animal stewardship leads to fewer unnecessary animal euthanizations! As my pet story continues to unfold: The stray kitten I took in is now known as Fuzzy and everyone seems to love that name lol! The last stop is to get Fuzzy Sterilized with the 'Be The Solution' voucher previously received. That's been scheduled for next week...

She and Big Dog Rescue are simply the best and I should know because I have been involved in Dog Rescue for over 40 yrs.

She even put together a truckload of donated dog food and drove it to Louisiana to feed and rescue many of the dogs effected by Katrina. BDR has been proven to be very successful for a long , long time in saving and rescuing animals in the Tallahassee area. There just aren't many people with Dee Ann's dedication and drive....

To Bianca, the website is clear there is no "facility", this is a rescue, not a shelter. If you really understood what rescues and shelters go through on a daily basis, you might be a little more compassionate. Everyone has the same goal, and that is to help animals that have been abused, starved, abandoned, in-bred, molested (yes, really), shot, burned alive, poisoned - the list goes on and on. Try a little patience, support and kindness for people who are willing to do what others won't --- it IS a very, very tough job for many reasons. They have bad days too, and not because they got 'lost' but because they deal with the results of mean, vicious, cruel people every single day with much worse agendas than venting with a crappy review. Do you have any idea how many dogs you just deprived of a loving home because you had a bad day and chose not to do your homework? Inaccurate reviews hurt, especially when it's about you, and not about what this rescue does, and that's saving dogs. Help, not hurt.

I honestly don't even know where to start with this place. I am extremely upset with how this…read moreentire situation has been handled. When I adopted Huxley, I was told he was a sweet, loving, laid-back dog who had never shown aggression toward people or other animals. I trusted what I was told and trusted that I was being given the information I needed to make an informed decision about adopting him. Once he was in my home, that was NOT the whole story. We discovered food/resource guarding that was never properly disclosed to me. There were also things in his vet history that I feel should have been explained to me before I adopted him. My own vet also questioned his age and believed him to be closer to 5 rather than the 2 years I was told. Then Huxley bit an older man at a dog-friendly restaurant when the man offered him a treat. He broke the man's skin and drew blood. And now he has bitten me. I have spent a lot of time trying to make this work because I genuinely cared about this dog. I am not trying to "dump" him somewhere because I don't want him anymore. I have reached the point where I don't feel safe or capable of handling his behavioral issues and I am trying to find him a home/rescue that actually can. Instead of helping me, they accused me of abusing him and trying to hurt him. That is absolutely unbelievable to me. You adopt a dog based on what a rescue tells you about that dog. If serious behavioral issues exist, adopters deserve to know about them BEFORE they take that dog home. You can't tell someone a dog has been nothing but friendly and gentle, have them discover serious issues after adoption, and then turn around and accuse the adopter when they can no longer safely handle the dog. I also find it incredibly concerning that their response seems much more focused on blaming me than on actually finding a safe solution for Huxley. I am not claiming Huxley is a bad dog. I don't think he's a bad dog. I think he needs a different situation and someone who knows how to handle his behavior. That's why I'm trying to surrender him responsibly instead of putting him in another unsafe situation. I would strongly recommend that anyone adopting from this rescue get every vet record, ask about resource guarding, ask about previous bites/aggression, and verify everything they possibly can before taking one of these dogs home. Because right now I feel like I was sold a completely different picture of the dog I adopted, and when I finally said I couldn't safely handle it anymore, I was treated like I was the problem.

I haven't had a dog for many years but had been considering adopting for about the last year. I checked their website for specific type - due to allergies I was looking for a more "hypoallergenic" dog. I found one, sent a request for information on a Saturday evening around 7pm and immediately was responded to by Erika. I came to see my new doggo the next day (Sunday) and was greeted by Mara outside, who I ended up hugging because she was so lovely. I was helped by Spencer who allowed me some time with the pup, and then allowed some one-one-one time by Cara. I decided to come back the next day to make a decision which was great - they had given the doggo a bath and spayed her. I was provided with medicine, a collar, leash, paperwork, and about a week worth of dog food. The cost for all of this was $30. I named my new pup Blanche and could not be happier. I believe every review should have some balance, so here are small negatives. Someone said the Blanche had been spayed, which she hadn't been, so I had to prep to take care of her which I wasn't prepared for. She was listed as a labradoodle, which she is clearly not (that wasn't important for me, but it might be for others). Lastly, the staff was understandably stressed the weekend I came in. There was an unusual influx of dogs and a lot of drama regarding this. I witnessed a few people being snarky with the staff, and they didn't seem overly friendly at first. As soon as they knew I wasn't there to yell at them, they were all very sweet. I think this reflects on the consumer rather than the staff though - please be kind to these folks! They deal with a ton of crud and they are only looking at spreading love around, in the form of our furry friends.
