North Bay Animal Services - Missy

North Bay Animal Services

(31 reviews)

I adopted my kitten Tessa from North Bay Animal Services earlier this year. We did foster to adopt,…read morewhich was nice because we experienced what fostering was like, to be connected to a creature and then decide if it was working. Of course, we were in love with her right away, and the day we adopted her officially was a very happy one in my life. I had great communication and support from Mary along the way. She loves the cats deeply, and that reassures me. (Tessa was rescued as a kitten and had a bad respiratory infection, which they took care of with great tenderness and professionalism.) When I have extra time, I like to go to the shelter and visit the animals, and just sit with the cats and visit with the doggos. I also started volunteering there and love the experience of supporting the enrichment of the cats and taking dogs for a nice long run. One dog, it was remarkable, was super excited to go back to the shelter after a very short walk. I thought that was a good sign. I also really appreciate the donation station and love being able to drop stuff off without any hassle. Really appreciate everyone there and all of the work they are doing, volunteers and staff and the community that supports them.

Still Missing Since April 26 - North Bay Animal Services Has My Dog and Won't Give Her Back…read moreMy dog, originally taken in by Sonoma County Humane Society and later transferred to North Bay Animal Services, has been missing since April 26. Her ID tag is A58381636. I have reached out repeatedly to North Bay Animal Services, waited patiently, and even provided clear photos proving she's mine. I also received confirmation from Kerrie, a manager at the Sonoma County Humane Society, that the dog who came in had the same leash and collar I described by name. Despite all of this, I have received no phone call, no email, no explanation--nothing. And now I've learned that my dog is currently being kept in a foster home, while I'm actively trying to get her back. This is heartbreaking, frustrating, and unacceptable. I have done everything I can to prove ownership, and I've been completely ignored. If North Bay Animal Services truly cares about reuniting lost pets with their families, this is not how they should operate. If you're considering trusting them with your pet, or relying on them for help in a crisis, please know what I've been through. I just want my dog back, and I deserve at least a response.

My very active 12 month old dog was in need of training. I have two cats which she followed around…read moreand she was dominating the living room. She was also lacking social skills like knocking me over at a doorway or jumping up on everyone. Our little girl spent 7 days boarding with Fit n furry for training. The fabulous trainer Marie Haven did a great job. On the last day we went for a human training class. We were taught human skills to continue her training. Marie worked wonders. My dog is in check with my cats, off the furniture, she waits at doorways and leaves things when told. I am much happier at home and I believe my dog is too. Marie is very patient, supportive, knowledgeable and kind. She is the perfect trainer.

This is a great example of an organization where one hand doesn't talk to the other. The level of…read morenon communication is pretty astounding. I called Fit N Furry to talk to them about boarding my cats. I received a text message back from Bailey and we had a text conversation, and got a tour set up. On the day of the tour, I called the center just to confirm and they had no idea what I was talking about. I was told there was no one there that would be able to give me a tour. The person on the tour scheduled me for a tour weeks away. I texted the original number back and asked what had happened. I actually asked them if they were human, because I'd had experiences before of AIs just not forwarding information to a human. But I was assured, via text, that I was speaking to a human and that they were sorry and their manager would reach out shortly. (To this day no one has reached out.) Weeks went by and I went in for my rescheduled tour. I walk in and they had no record of a tour but they would be happy to show me around. Just fill out this form. I filled out the form. The person at the desk looks at my form and goes "oh, your cats are too old to board here." Excuse me? After all this, my cats are ineligible anyway? At this point I had spent 3 hours in the car and who knows how long on the phone and text with them, getting at this sorted out. If this is the level of organization that is visible from the outside, I shudder to think what the behind-the-scenes organization looks like.

I came here to celebrate my anniversary with my partner and we had an incredible time. We got to…read morepet and feed a wide variety of animals and best of all, the animals aren't forced to interact with you. This ensures a positive experience for both parties and prevents overstimulation. During the tour, the animals are placed in a smaller pens so they can come up to interact but even then, there's plenty of room for them to choose not to come up. After the tours, the larger animals have access to larger acres of land to roam and run. Our guides are knowledgeable and great at interacting with guests of all ages. They ensured everyone had a safe, fun, and educational time. The tour brings you into one full loop and ends at the parking lot which is pretty convenient. At the end of the tour, we got to a choose a calendar to take home. Overall, highly recommend to book a tour and come visit. We had an incredible time learning and interacting with the animals.

Randomly found this farm on Yelp and decided to take the kids. There was a medical emergency that…read moreday so the tour was different than usual, but we had fun feeding and brushing cows, horses, goats, guinea pigs. My kids had a blast! Pros: - love what they are doing by taking in animals when their owners need help with caring for them - fairly affordable, group tour was $100 - they provided lots of carrots and lettuce for the animals! Cons: - I would have loved learning more about the animals, we were only provided information when we asked questions 1:1 with tour guide.

Any dog that gets to come live at the Big Dog Rescue has hit the jackpot. Although it's not a…read moreforever home, it is a gorgeous sanctuary for dogs to leave the streets and shelter for some decompression in Sonoma County. My dog Cherly was a homeless hound from Oklahoma who lived at the Big Dog Rescue for a year and a half of her life. Cheryl saved my girl and gave her a chance even though no one wanted her as she was one of their long term residents. This peaceful palace is a fully fenced sanctuary. Cheryl (the owner) and staff has put so much love and care into her passions. They dogs she's rehabilitated, the care they receive, they support they get. You have to be one lucky pup to be at the Big Dog. My dog loves coming back to the Big Dog for visits. She's super excited and happy. Cheryl wants to make sure her dogs are going to the home that is the perfect match. She will carefully screen as every rescue should do. I've read some of the 1 star reviews on here. And Cheryl is right, dogs are not ment to spend hours outside. What if it's hot? She is correct and has every right to be concerned where her dogs are placed. If you are not a good fit of she is not comfortable with your household, then I'm sure there is another match out there waiting for you to save them.

We have been thinking about adopting a dog for a long time. When we thought we were ready, we…read morelooked online and found a dog we liked. He was listed as available at Big Dog Rescue. I filled up the application and I received a one-liner response: "he is gone". I asked for a different dog and the answer was "gone too". I believe my application was a disaster, because I had no clue of what you are supposed to do with a dog and I wrote what I thought we would do. After researching the topic, I can see why they would not consider us for adoption with that application ;-) However, I wrote back asking to speak with them to understand why they did not spend more than a second to reply (I was looking for some suggestions on if we are ok to adopt or if we should not even bother). They never answered. I guess they are great with dogs but have a problem with humans.

Odessa is one of the real dog saints in our county (we are so lucky to have a group of these). She…read moreworks with most of the other local shelters/rescues in the area to save small dogs of all ages and conditions....as she has space available. I have known Odessa for years and have so much respect for her incredible personal commitment to dog rescue. Most of the dogs 'roam' freely in her house, learning to get along with other dogs and with people. Puppies (and moms) stay in the puppy palace (a charmingly converted and furnished garage space). Rescuing and adopting dogs is very hard and very expensive work, since many dogs who were neglected or abused require a lot of love, medical care, and training. Please take any 'negative' reviews with a big grain of salt. All of us who have to deal with the public understand how unreasonable and uncharitable some people can be. This is a truly extraordinary woman who makes great sacrifices to rescue and place dogs in the best possible homes. It's an uphill battle with so many people allowing their dogs to breed and dumping them on rescue. And with some adopters/lookers who can be disrespectful of the process around placing dogs. Very few of us could do this work day in and day out with no reward other than seeing dogs go to the right guardians. Thank you to everyone who supports and adopts from rescue, saves lives, and appreciates those doing the really hard work. And please consider fostering a little dog if you can. It's a rewarding experience being part of the pipeline to forever homes.
