After seeing a photo of the cutest puppy ever on the Watauga Humane Society website, we drove up…read morethe very next day to meet her and her remaining female littermates. The shelter staff were extremely friendly and helpful, quickly bringing all 3 puppies to meet us and our friend in a relatively clean visiting room, complete with 2 chairs and a handful of toys. We played for the puppies for a while, and they obviously get 5 stars for playfulness and cuteness. After we had inevitably picked out the little runt we had first seen online, the staff came back and took the other two so we could see how she was alone, then they told us a little bit more about her and her litter's history. We then filled out a little bit of paperwork while our baby Poppy, formerly known as Ganondorf, was taken back to be microchipped and get one final checkup from the vet there. Then, for only $170 (plus a refundable deposit of $100 promising we would spay her when she is old enough), we got to walk out with the sweetest 2 month old puppy, a bag of her food, several toys, a coupon to a pet store in town for even more free food and treats, and the promise of a free spay surgery (on top of getting the $100 deposit back) if we bring her back there and use their surgeon. All in all this was a fantastic monetary value, and of course we are absolutely enamored with our new little buddy. 1 month later, I can say she's been an absolute gem so far. She's relatively well behaved for a puppy, which is probably just genetics and good luck driving her temperament, but she is also brave and very well socialized, despite us not taking her out much since she isn't fully vaccinated against parvo yet. The socialization, I attribute to the Watauga Humane Society, as it is very clear she was raised surrounded by love, and given plenty of care and attention.

I went in knowing which dog I wanted to see and they were quick to bring her out and give us some time to meet with her. After deciding that she was the perfect fit, we completed the paperwork and were sent away with some awesome goodies and lots of well wishes from the staff. The facility was clean and the other animals looked well taken care of. These people definitely care about the animals there! Old and new pics of my Poppy girl for fun!

I am less than two weeks from my appointment and they have decided they no longer want to offer this service. These appointments must be within 10 days of travel which means we now need to find another vet that will do this and can make room for us in the next three weeks. Plane tickets and thousands of dollars are riding on this... I am gobsmacked that they would do this to us. It's not just an inconvenience - it's life-altering.

There is no sense reiterating the entire story here but needless to say, this is not a place I will ever put my dog again. He came back losing a lot of weight because he was nervous with so many dogs there and still hasn't shaken that freaked out look after being home. I don't think the care was bad for the dog, but the care for the human owner was abysmal. I have never been treated like this by anyone in the wonderful town of Blowing Rock. Her husband is friendly and sane. If you really must go here, deal with him. He understood why I was upset and was helpful when I rushed to pick my dog up immediately after an international flight (because of the tone of her voice mails that came in while I was on the plane). Totally baffled by the treatment I got and never going back. As the one leading the creation of a dog park here in BR I will be sure to let all the dog parents here in town know. And I have the whack job voicemails saved for emphasis. Scary and awful. Ruined the last leg of my trip because of worry.

I was looking the…read moreinformation up on this wonderful place to share with a friend that has a dog and was going out of town. I had taken my dog here several times in the past and I couldn't have asked for a better place for my dog to have stayed. If the last person's dog was nervous around other dogs how is the owner to blame for that? I don't know the owner on a personal level at all, I simply know her through the times I had dropped my beloved dog off there. And if she was having an off week or something, I am pretty sure that we all have had one of those. Whether someone is opening a dog park or not in Blowing Rock that does not mean they should use their contact power to try and destroy someone's business on an app like Yelp. So to spread some positivity... do not hesitate to take your four legged family member here. You will not be disappointed. The accommodations are above what you will find anywhere else (trust me I had tried them all) and my dog loved it so much that every time we would pull in the driveway she knew exactly where she was and was excited. Anna was never that way any other time I had taken her someplace when I had to go out of town. I just hope the other posters "personality" didn't prevent the dogs in Blowing Rock from getting a dog park. As Mountain Mama's supposed personality conflict with the past-poster shouldn't prevent your dog from staying at the best doggie daycare and boarding in the high country.
