    Second chance rescues dogs from kill shelters…read more If your looking for a dog,stop here first.. Great animals

    Overall, the idea of this organization is amazing! It's absolutely fantastic that the animals are…read morebeing saved from kill shelters and I wish them the best of luck at getting adopted! Especially as a nonprofit. However, during my experience there I noticed a few things that were a bit off putting to me as someone who loves working with animals and the community that comes with it! Such as being treated as if I were dumb/incapable during the job training, even though there was absolutely no structure going into it, it was unpaid, and I was still learning the ropes, it seemed like it was just inconvenient to them that I was there at all and towards the end of the shift one of the employees even yelled at all of the dogs to "shut up" multiple times as she cleaned. The aggression was certainly alarming. Of course, being autistic I do sometimes get in my own head about these things, but something about it just didn't feel right. Other than that, the animals were sweethearts so I don't regret the time I got to spend with them, it's just the employees were incredibly judgemental and there was no real process/organization behind the scenes for training. The hiring agent wasn't even there! So, I hope this helps anyone looking for some insight from a different perspective. I still can't believe how mean that employee was to the dogs for simply barking, as dogs tend to do.

    Through our years of living here in Sachse we have worked with the animal shelter and animal…read morecontrol a few times. It has always been a good experience, very professional but kind as well. Their first priority is the animals, where it should be. This morning my dog passed and I did not know what to do. I was here alone after a recent back surgery and did not know what to do. I emailed the animal shelter early this morning and got a quick response. They helped me take care of everything while the family was away and were incredibly compassionate and professional. I cannot say enough good things about this shelter and animal control.

    PLEASE READ!....I adopted a kitten from the Sachse Animal Shelter..the staff assured me that the…read morekitten should not have feline leukemia and that is was rare ..i trusted in the staff and brought the kitten home to a cat that is a year old to play with.

    I like coming to a small pet store, even though the prices are a little bit higher than other…read moreplaces. I usually like the customer service and that they have the kind of kitty litter that I like to get for my cats. However, the last couple of visits have not been great. Things have been the incorrect price and although the last time after a little bit of discussion, the employee that was on duty adjusted the price and realized that it was their mistake that they marked things wrong and did not do the price change like they were supposed to. Today was a different experience. I grabbed the kitty litter from where there was a full stack and it was clearly marked 11.49 for that litter. I ring it up and it comes up 1299. I tell the employee hey this is the wrong price. It's 1149 on the aisle. She comes back and tells me she can't see where it is marked that. I take her over to the aisle and show her the full stack of seven or eight bags of kitty litter with the sign under it. This says 1149. She says oh this says for something else. And I ask OK well as a customer how am I supposed to know that? It says litter 1149 right under the stack of litter that has always been 1149. So she says mistakes happen and doesn't offer an apology or to do anything about it but instead kind of argues with me and gives me attitude. I inform her that that is just not really good customer service and that as a customer, I am purchasing something that's listed as a certain price and that's what I expect it to be and if there is a mistake I understand that but acknowledge the mistake and don't try and blame me as the customer and that I should just be OK with something being $1.50 more than what it's priced at on the aisle. So I ended up having to pay more for it just so I can get the litter and leave because I have to get back to work. It is really ridiculous How bad customer service is now. ..Especially when things are priced wrong. The economy is bad for everyone and it's just unacceptable to treat customers like crap because you feel like they don't have other options or you don't care about your job or whatever it is. There are other options and I can go to other places. I chose to come to this one because I like going to a smaller store, but I will just go to Petsmart.

    I hope corperate takes a closer look at this location and fixes the culture here. I end up having…read moreto drive miles in another direction to get food for my dogs cause they're so unfriendly at this location. It's an all white staff, has been for years, and none of them want to help you if you're ethnic. Every other spot I've been to is great, the most friendly staff, but this location is horrid. It's been like this for years now. You are only welcome there if you're white. Today I had a really rude large white lady with black hair snap at me for asking questions about my dogs snacks. She had total attitude from start to finish like I had bothered her whole day or something. Then, when I went to check out (cause apparently they removed the counters so employees could spend more time helping customers ironically HAHAHAHAHA) I asked for a bag and she snapped "we have none sorry" with this evil smirk on her face..... it's crazy how different literally ALL THE OTHER SPOTS ARE except this ONE. They need to recycle their entire staff and management and make a point to diversify, this neighborhood is becoming predominantly colored people, it's not right to have a location like this that promotes racial profiling and such grotesque behavior. ***UPDATE*** I have spoken to Sharon W directly myself and she was completely defensive and biased to the entire situation. So people know, most owners use AI to respond to us, this is just some blanket comment the "owner" left to cover their tracks. This company has gotten so big they do not care anymore about the culture of their stores or maintaining good customer service. This was really disappointing how corporate decided to handle this. I am wearing my meta glasses everytime I walk in now and hope I can catch this on film and blast this place.
