A couple of years ago, we lost the first of two sibling rescue dogs we adopted 15 years ago. We…read moreadopted another young dog shortly after. Then March of this year, our 2nd boy passed over the Rainbow Bridge. Recently we decided we missed having two canine family members and set out to begin the search for a friend for our dog Daisy (also a rescue) and I knew about Eleventh Hour Rescue and the work they do for a while and had attended events like Puptoberfest. When we saw there was a Winter market happening at the Sussex fairgrounds, we got our pre-appoved application completed and attended the event with Daisy hoping to meet a particular dog. When it turned out the beautiful girl in question wouldn't be quite the right fit for our family, we came close to leaving and determined to search through other adoptable dogs with 11th Hour when we were asked if Daisy wanted to meet Jett, who we'd missed. We did an introduction and short walk together with one of the volunteers and our family. It became quickly apparent that these two would become fast friends and he was super friendly immediately with our whole family. Jett came home with us that day and immediately seemed to feel right at home. But he wasn't answering to his name, so we bounced a bunch around and thought we'd have to use a process to change it, but we came up with Remmington III (Remmy casually) and he began answering to that almost immediately. We are on day 3 and we all couldn't be happier. Everyone who volunteers with Eleventh Hour from the pre-approval process to the event staff were so welcoming, encouraging and wonderful. They do a fantastic job of vetting potential adopters so that each animal finds their perfect furever home. I would recommend anyone searching for a furry family member to consider them.

We adopted a 3-year-old pup from an adoption event Eleventh Hour hosted at the Rockaway Mall, and…read moreit was a great experience. The event was well organized with plenty of helpful volunteers on site and lots of friendly, adorable dogs to meet. Our check-in/check-out process was smooth and professional, and we were paired with a volunteer who helped us meet the three dogs we were interested in so we could find the best fit. I also really appreciate how thorough they were during the application process: they called all my references and my current vet, which showed how serious they are and how much they care about their animals. Wonderful rescue organization...Thank you for helping us find our new family member!

Never sending my dog again. After our "assessment," Kyle yanked my dog's neck multiple times and…read moremade her shriek in pain. She came home in shock and growled at our other dog (who she loves and has never previously growled at). Whatever they did during the day together, she was affected quite negatively. From a business standpoint, Kyle gives 30 minute lectures filled with analogies that make no sense. Also, 4:40 pickup means 5:30 apparently.

My husband and I have a very anxious, neurotic (and handsome) doggo. He's highly dog reactive and…read moreenergetic and has a troubled past. We've tried several trainers and boarding facilities in various cities and states. We even resorted to trying a famous YouTube trainer and he came back worse and even more anxious. Typically, these expensive "board and trains" we've participated in have ended with medication recommendations and a "good luck". One final trainer recommended we try Mind Of Dog because she also wasn't able to break through. I'm so grateful we did. He's thriving and comes home exhausted. An added bonus is the people training we've received. The best part of all of it, is that he's finally getting the exercise and structure he's always needed and deserves. They handle the dogs calmly, but with lots of structure and clear boundaries, which our dog desperately needs. We can finally go to work and travel without worrying that he's being mishandled or ignored. We're so grateful to have found this place and I have to admit, I was waiting for him to fail again, because we had lost all hope. I highly recommend that you give Mind Of Dog a shot, especially if you're in a similar position as we were. Thanks, Mind of Dog! Senna loves you all and is so grateful to be able to play with dogs without fear and anxiety.

Our dog is happy-go-lucky fella who has never met a human or a dog he didn't like. Which is why I…read morewas extremely surprised he refused to return to this boarding place. We had boarded him there and were about to drop him off again, but he started resisting and pulling away really hard. We've boarded him at several places and he always pulls IN really hard to get in. This is the only place where we got this "I'm not going in" reaction from him. No clue what happened there, but we'll trust our doggo over what the website says.

Authentic kennel where the workers clearly love and enjoy their job and dogs. Hard to find an…read moreauthentic genuine animal loving spot since all the "boutique dog pet spas." If in the area no need to look anywhere else. The workers you can tell love what they do and my dog has always loved coming here. Keep up the great work. Refreshing to find a place around here that has a similar caring over profit/business mentality which you find out west and in other countries. Thank you for all your work and love to the animals you serve!

This store doesn't deserve even one star. How great for business that they have walls of fish and…read moreanimals but how absolutely horrendous for any living thing that is stuck in a cage or box in this place. Imagine a condemn home with black mold and the worst smell but houses all sorts of animals. This is legitimately hording. There are cages of mice and rats shoved in every corner, under and over shelves. The music blaring throughout the whole store must be pure torture to these poor animals who have to endure this all day long. This place is dirty, disgusting, and full of dead fish in the tanks, dirtier than you even want to imagine. Petco is luxury at treating their animals compared to this crap hole. Do not support this place and for the love of God, where is PETA when you need it!

I have recently went back into the store to see if there has been even a slight chance of…read moreimprovement since I have written my last review. Nope! Of course not, still sad, miserable abuse animals and heartless employees. My heart breaks for these poor creatures, animal control must be involved. I have also noticed that the store now has four stars and many five star reviews, either the owner has created multiple accounts to bring up his reviews or dirty people with dirty living situations have that find the store to be just as good as their own living situation at home. Of course, they would believe that this is a well defined store. I will leave it at that. Do the right thing, adopt these poor animals, and give them a better life, PS, definitely not the people that have left five star ratings.

Jo Ann makes sure to be very up front with all the pay info, time frames on the kitten's progress and health. It is very obvious how much she cares for these cats and will make sure the person they go to is the best fit for them. I believe the price is certainly fair, especially since so much time and care goes not only into the kittens, but also the kittens parents. I cant say enough good things about her and her love for these cats. So happy I found Khloe's kittens.

We worked with Margaret for a few sessions with our 11 month old dog, Finn. He was having leash…read morereactivity issues, making it quite difficult to take him on walks without him barking up a storm at people and other dogs. We thought we'd truly never be able to bring him around my moms dog, Savannah. Margaret worked with Finn to boost confidence, reward good behavior and allowed us to take videos to continue to work with him. She is a lovely person who truly has a passion for her work which is so beautiful to see these days! To make a long story short, through working with Margaret we were able to slowly take finn on more walks! And now him and his aunt Savannah are now best friends and love playing together! We can't recommend Margaret enough.

Update one year later: I'd change my 5 to 6 stars if I could…read more My dog progressed as much as possible thanks to Instinct. He ultimately had a degenerative brain disease which explained his behavior and matched what the trainers had been seeing. Instinct not only has experience with difficult cases but they specialize in them. I learned more than I thought possible through them. They saw the best in my boy and have helped me heal. Yes, this is pricy, relatively speaking- yes, results may not be instant; yes, the trainers will be honest with you about your dog and the dynamics in your life that may be impacting things. The idea is to coach the owner while training the dog so that the frequency and intensity of training decreases over time, thus the price not only goes down over time but pays itself back on feelings of confidence, safety, and in having a team to back you up for life. I would hope that pet insurance is something that owners have looked into. Trupanion in particular has an excellent behavioral package. Unfortunately adopting a dog is not as simple as "with a good home and love, any dog can become a wonderful pet." Genetics and upbringing have to with it. Places like Instinct understand this and are essential and unique. They don't shame their owners or judge the dogs, it is what it is, and what a relief to have an outside pair of eyes help out, because as everyone reading this knows, by the time you look for a place like this you're feeling emotionally spent, scared, and hopeless already. We traveled hours to get there and don't regret a second of it.
