My four legged baby was miserable with an allergic reaction and our regular vet was out of town. A friend of mine who works with a rescue gave me her name and number and I am so glad she did. She got my baby in right away and got her more comfortable. This is not your typical fancy vet clinic but the care there is far above that and I guess that is why I find myself using farm vets. Highly recommend....

Where do I begin to say how over the top impressed I am with this organization, the property, and…read morethe people that work/volunteer here? Growing up in the area I was always a supporter of the wonderful things this place does for animals, but I never truly appreciated the extent until I took a tour recently. I have worked in the Veterinary field for close to 20yrs in different cities and states, and never come across anything like SFC. We called ahead to see if they had time to give us a tour and they called back with a time to come. We arrived and a volunteer was promptly radioed to start our tour. The main building is quite the sight, they have many different cat rooms depending on their ailment and temperaments. Each room has many different beds, trees, toys, etc and they all have the option to be indoors or in a nice outdoor area with a view. So many of the cats have issues or need daily medicine and I cant believe all the time and money they put into these kitties. Some of them are adoptable, just ask and on the outside of each room there are pictures and description of the residents. Not only does the main building have cats, but there are turtles, birds, and some bunnies as well. The next part of our tour took us out to the barn where we met Donkeys, Ducks, geese, horses, and more. The barn manager was the nicest person and he went into so much detail about each animal and their story. He really took a lot of time with us. I cant believe all the specialized veterinary care they give these special animals, it must cost them a fortune, which is why it is so important the donations they receive. They just completed some improvements to that particular barn to make it better prepared for winter. They do what they can when they can and these animals are so lucky to be here. If you live in the area I am sure you have heard of SFC like I had and I strongly encourage you in one way or another at some point to come by for a tour or to one of their open house events to really see what is going on here. It is amazing. They can always use donations or volunteers, whatever way you can help the special mission this place is carrying out!

She got us in on a last minute chase to find a dog groomer for my little dog and boy she did a great job. My dog was not in a cage all day waiting like other valley places where they do more than they can handle and my dog was not scared at all to her new parlor. I would absolutely go next time again. Service was fully done 3 hours time rather than an all day wait prior.

Bill told me just how to fix the PH, and when my poor little honey gourami (named Harold) lost most of his tail to a bacterial infection he got because of the stress he was under, he gave us great advice on how to treat him to save him from that, too. Now Harold, toughest fish I've ever known, is darting around his tank happily, surviving against all odds because of Bill's guidance! The tanks don't look the greatest, but I didn't see a single sick fish, including a lot of more delicate breeds. That's the important part- everybody looked healthy.

Ethical breeders are so hard to find. Breeders who truly care and raise amazing animals may appear to make you jump throw hoops of fire sometimes; but in reality all of us should be grateful. Breeders who truly care for their animals also truly care where they are placed. *I am glad that you adore my babies as much as I do! Thank you, Vanillabelle Ragdolls.

PLEASE NOTE: This shop is in NEW YORK, and it has nothing to do with the Aquatics and Exotics in Roanoke, Virginia where that awful assault of that woman happened. It is not affiliated with them in any way, shape, or form. Aquatics and Exotics is a name that both businesses just happened to choose, but they are not a franchise. THIS IS NOT THE RACIST PLACE. It makes me so sad to see someone who did nothing wrong get attacked for something that a stranger in another state did. OK! Now that that mess is out of the way, this little shop has what you need. So many beautiful driftwood and fancy stone options for hardscaping your aquascape. Do you want black and white stripey stones? You can find that here! Dragonstone for dramatic spires and cliffs? Yep! Cool aquamarine colored greenstone? Yeah, they have that, too! Do you like plants for your tank? Well, he grows his plants himself! Submerged, so they won't be nearly as likely to "melt" as the plants you mail order from big plant businesses that mostly grow their plans emersed (roots in water, leaves in the air) tend to. Leaves that grow in the air are not the same as leaves that grow underwater for aquatic plants, so if you buy a plant that has been grown out of water, it's gonna drop all those leaves and try to grow new ones, instead. I got some lovely plants here, and none of them died at all. They're also acclimated to the water we have around here, as are the fish! You WILL get snails if you don't treat the plants you get from here, but that really isn't a bad thing. The snails will eat algae and biofilm. They'll happily slide around like the little janitors they are. We got a brown ramshorn snail, and a grey one, as well as some bladder snails, in with our plants, and everyone in my household spends a bit of time each day trying to find the ramshorns. The fish are all quarantined before being put in to the main tanks. This is vital, and not something that happens at most big box pet stores. The fish you get here are much more likely to be healthy and stay healthy. They are far less likely to get your existing fish sick. It's a small shop, but he carries a nice variety of fish, snails, and shrimp. Do you have a favorite color? He probably has shrimp that come in that color. Do you love rainbow fish? He carries some really lovely ones. My tank is too small for them- they are schooling fish that can get to be 4 inches long- but if I had a bigger tank, I'd for sure get some from here. Mystery snails are excellent tank cleaners, and quite pretty. Lots of seachem and API products here, as well as high quality LED lights, nice filters, substrate, gravel, ETC. If you are an aquarium nerd, you can get your aquarium nerd on here, like I do. I drive over 40 minutes to go here instead of the closer big box pet stores. It is worth the drive!
