We had made an appointment to look at a particular dog, but decided against adopting him.. Instead, we adopted a wee girl, Sandra, who was just over three months old.....We were allowed to "introduce" our German Shepherd (both a "mix" and a "rescue") to "Sandra" and the lady who was assisting us was patient and helpful to us, as the two dogs were introduced. Some folks don't seem to know that dogs may react positively or negatively when first introduced......it takes a bit of time to do it properly. We are pleased to say that In only a week, "Sandra", who is now "Jo-Jo" has adapted very well to our home and has become great friends and playmates with "Hailie", the German Shepherd. Many thanks to the folks at RAWL for assisting in making our adoption possible. We are greatly pleased with RAWL and their dedicated staff! R & R Bennett

I have a huge hole in my heart, that will never be filled.

We had a great experience and love our ragdoll. Christina was available for in-person visits and…read morewe were able to see our kitten and visit up until she was old enough to go home. She was prompt to respond to texts. The kittens seem well cared for and socialized well with other cats and dogs. The buying process was straight forward, but she only accepted cash so we had to plan some ATM visits over a few days. We enjoyed visiting the kittens and would eat at the Apple House each time (Christina's recommendation). Luray Caverns is near by. She also gave us good recommendations on where to find pet supplies. Karma has great litterbox habits. She took to the litter robot right away. She is always in our business and follows us around. She is very playful and likes to watch animal shows on TV. She enjoys being brushed and she got along our other cat right away. We greatly appreciated the free pet insurance. Karma fell down the stairs 2 weeks after she came home and broke her hip. The insurance covered the vet fees of $8K! And it was quick - within 24 hours of submitting the claim. We've had Karma for almost 2 years now and she's been healthy and alert. I would recommend Royalist Ragdolls.

We finally lucked out and ended up with a Jindo (a rare and expensive breed) from the most unlikely of places...the Clarke County AS in Berryville. Granted, you're not likely to find a Jindo there. What you will find is a hardworking and dedicated staff, and animals that are receiving the finest of care possible (it is, AFAIK, a no-kill shelter). Unfortunately, they are operating in a cramped facility, but they make the most of it and volunteers help stem the costs. The animals there need care and a loving home and if you can give one, I highly recommend this shelter.

The two gals that work there were super accommodating and helpful both days I visited. I took our very timid beagle to see how he would respond to a potential adoptee. The gals helped with each new request: dog and cat relationship/dog and dog relationship, dog and human relationship.... We left less than 24 hours ago and already know we hit the doggy JACKPOT! She's a five-month old St. Bernard-Mastiff mix, very willing to please, is comfortable in a crate, is essentially potty-trained and quiet all night, is quickly learning to come when called, and we don't even have her on a leash in the yard as she explores. We couldn't be happier with the adoption fees and ease of process in getting her chosen and home with us. Thank you for providing this great service and another wonderful pet!

Pet Owners Beware: Multiple Misdiagnoses from Dr. Kat Gray…read more I'm writing this review as a serious warning to fellow pet owners: over the years, I've personally witnessed three separate misdiagnoses from Dr. Kat Gray at Agape Animal Hospital, one of which led directly to the death of a beloved dog. The most recent case involved my dear friend's dog, who suddenly began acting strangely. Despite my warnings, she went to Agape. Dr. Gray diagnosed a tick-borne illness, ran some blood work, gave fluids and a pain shot, and sent them home. She attributed the behavior to eating grass and being "stressed" from seeing luggage. The dog briefly improved, but then declined. On the second visit, they received another pain shot and an inconclusive ultrasound. At one point, Dr. Gray actually suggested the dog might have eaten mushrooms and was "having a bad trip." Finally, my friend went to another vet who correctly diagnosed intervertebral disc disease. The dog needed surgery. A correct diagnosis earlier would've spared her a great deal of pain. Sadly, this was not a one-off. Years earlier, my own hound was lethargic and off. Dr. Gray again blamed a tick-borne illness. Something didn't sit right with me, so we went for a second opinion. That vet discovered a grapefruit-sized tumor on his spleen that needed immediate surgery. We were told if we'd waited even another day, it could have ruptured and killed him. And tragically, a friend of mine lost her dog after being told, by Dr. Gray, that the dog was just overweight. I voiced my concern that the dog's abdomen looked swollen, not fat. Not long after, the dog passed away. It was a tumor. It had ruptured. It was preventable. I understand that no vet is perfect, and diagnoses can be complex. But three separate major misdiagnoses, two of them potentially fatal, one resulting in death is not something I can overlook. If you love your pet, please think twice before trusting Dr. Kat Gray with their care.
