His name is Brandon and he is white, skinny, brown hair, like in his 40s and he helped me get and learn how to take care of my lobster which really helped and he told me if I have any more questions I could get his number and ask anytime. Which I asked so many questions then so it made sense. Instead I got his Snapchat. Then as soon as I leave he messaged me that he thought I was cute and to go out with him. I was so disturbed. I had so great service because he wanted to be in my pants... Now everytime I go and he's there which is more than half of the time he stares at me all weird cause I blocked him. I hate it.

It has been almost 2 years since my husband and I adopted our Fletcher from the Animal Resource…read moreCenter. It's even been over a year since we lived in Ohio, but I felt like I should come by and leave a review! We weren't yet married but we had been dating for several years, looking toward college graduation as well as our wedding, and we were a couple months away from adopting a dog. Excited, we decided to take a little tour of the various places around town to see who we wanted to go with. The Humane Society was full of very nice people but it was small and very sad inside, like a long cement and metal hallway lined with dogs. Sicsa was... rude. Very rude. Possibly because we were not 50 years old, but I did not expect to be treated like that at a no-kill shelter (and I have not been treated like that at others I have gone to). This place, though, was a definite relief. Employees were very helpful, it was crawling with young people who volunteered to take the dogs outside and whatnot, and it was very clean and pleasant to be inside. We were not ready to adopt. We were a few weeks from moving in to a dog friendly townhouse, but we decided to go in and look at the pups anyway. This is when we met Fletcher. Listed as a 6 month old terrier mix, he looked nothing like a terrier, but he was a small, thin, short black haired ball of life. He was adorable and he was bouncing everywhere, so I stuck my arm in to pet him; my heart was stolen when he wrapped his front legs around my arm and started to give kisses. I melted. My husband melted. And we bid goodbye with a pat on the head and a "you will make an amazing best friend for a lucky person." Oh man, was I ever correct. Fast forward a month or so and we had literally just moved into our new place. We could finally have a dog! I was at work and I wandered over to the Animal Resource Center's Petfinder page. Without a picture, the name "Fletcher" had been posted just that day. I squealed and called my husband, who promptly picked me up for my lunch break. It couldn't be, could it?! No way Fletcher would STILL be at the shelter. Well, he wasn't still there, but he was back. I walked in and saw our hyper boy, a tiny bit bigger but still just as high on life as when we first saw him. More energy than I never imagined. We were told how he had been adopted by a couple with a small apartment and they decided he was too hyper, so he was returned. I still can't fathom this. I didn't question much at the time because Fletcher was THERE and we could take him home after all. Now, though, I don't see how anyone could send this dog away. He is the single most happy being I have never seen and every day is the best day of his life. He is so full of life and love and that person's loss is definitely the best thing to happen to my husband and I, because this crazy boy is ours forever! The fine folks at the Animal Resource Center even made a little accommodation for us: they agreed to hold on to Fletcher for us for a few hours, just so I could finish the work day and then come back for him. We were very, very glad they allowed this! Fletcher was, and still is, extremely energetic. We lived in a townhouse with no real yard, and he did just fine: it's called walking and dog parks, people! Play with the dog, let him exercise, and everything works out. Luckily I believe his previous owners were good to him regardless, as he didn't seem abused or frightened at all. I'm very glad for that. Now we live in a one bedroom apartment in Chicago, 3rd floor in a walkup building. We have since adopted a cat and another dog and I promise you, we are at absolutely no risk of needing to abandon any of our pets; our dogs LOVE to play. They get walked, and they go to dog parks. They even go to daycare on Saturdays if the weather has been too bad for parks for many days on end. Even more so than before, I cannot comprehend how someone could have returned Fletcher. He is an absolute treasure and he along with his sister and kitty brother make us happier than anything else!

I will NEVER return to this store. I stopped by Aquatics Galore this past Sunday 1/30/2022 with…read moreboth my sons and as I entered their reptile room, I was quickly horrified at the conditions their animals were being kept in. The first thing I noticed is the overwhelming odor of rodent urine. The reptiles are kept in the same room as the breeding feeder rodents, and it's quite apparent the enclosures for the rodents are filthy and saturated with feces and urine. All their rodents are kept in glass tanks which does not allow for proper ventilation for any mammal and there are between 6-12+ animals in each tank. There is visible feces in each tank and they're just filthy. They have a large variety of reptiles kept in awful conditions. Multiple animals per enclosure on dirty paper towels with rotting food and dirty water dishes, not one animal in the entire room had a proper UVB fixture if they even had one at all (T5HO fixtures are the standard for any and all animals that require UVB as coil bulbs and T8 fixtures have been tested and proven inadequate), they had cards with (improper) husbandry requirements written on them that were clearly not being adhered to. Dirty, bare, inappropriate housing far too small for the majority of the animals they're "caring for". Multiple of the animals are dehydrated, emaciated, and lethargic likely due to improper diet, lack of clean water, lack of biologically appropriate heat and lighting, and filthy living conditions. What really sealed it for me was this Spiny Chameleon that is quite literally dying. So horribly emaciated and dehydrated that it can't even grip using all of its toes. I can't even confidently say this animal would survive transport to a home setting. Chameleons require specialized and specific care and husbandry, and are incredibly fragile animals. One misstep in husbandry can quickly result in a dead chameleon. Chameleons physically will not drink from a water dish, they hydrate both my drinking water droplets from leaves and also by absorbing humidity from the air during necessary nighttime spikes in humidity. All of the chameleons at Aquatics Galore were housed with fake plants (impaction risk and encourage bacteria growth), water droppers with tubes leading down to water bowls at the bottom of the enclosures (useless as Chams will not drink from bowls) and little to no foliage cover for security. Stress will absolutely kill a chameleon and being constantly exposed will lead to major stress. There is also a large glass dome front enclosure housing multiple species of tree frogs (varying species of tree frogs shouldn't be housed together as they can and will eat each other). This tank had red eyed tree frogs and whites tree frogs together in a wet, bacteria filled, filthy environment. Whites Tree Frogs are not a rainforest dwelling species and their adult daytime humidity requirements are no more than 40%, yet this whites tree frog was sitting at the bottom of this tank with about an inch of standing water and rotten moss(impaction risk), mold, and maggots crawling everywhere. Not to mention their prices for these sick and dying animals are far more than is reasonable for healthy individuals, let alone ones being kept in such despicable conditions. I reached out to the guy that appeared to be taking care of this room and explained all the major problems I saw. He seemed receptive which is good. I told him I would take the dying chameleon and try to save it, but I ethically could not pay money for it. He went to speak to someone, I'm assuming either owners or management, and they refused to let me take the animal or even offer a discount on it. I left without the chameleon, heartbroken at the conditions all these poor animals were being kept in. These people would really rather let this animal suffer and ultimately die for a chance to make a few dollars off of it then give it a sliver of a chance at recovery and life. I took photos and included them. These animals are being kept in conditions that I can only describe as criminal neglect. Absolute disgusting. How folks can own and run an exotic animal store and fail to treat these animals with even the most basic of respect is beyond me, but whoever owns and runs this place should be deeply ashamed and truly look within and ask themselves why they're in the exotics business. I will never return to this store. I urge all of you to take your business elsewhere when it comes to feeders and exotic animals. It's really embarrassing when the Petsmart up the road has (slightly) better husbandry and care for their animals, as any exotic animal enthusiast knows corporate pet stores truly don't have any idea how to care for the animals they sell. I don't even know what else to say about this, but I'm disgusted and appalled. Shit like this is exactly why people advocate against the keeping of exotic animals. Southern Ohio really doesn't have one good quality exotic store and it's sad for the hobby
