This service could be very beneficial to the community, but unfortunately it falls short. We found…read morea dog on a Sunday at 11:00 am, we waited until Humane Society opened at noon to take him in. They wanted $35 to take the dog in, but told us we could opt to keep the dog and try to find the owner ourselves. Which is what we decided to do. The Humane Society took all of the dog's information and put it into a database that they said would also be listed on Found!, a local pet finder service. The HS gave us a control number and told us to take photos and email the photos along with the control number to Found!, which we did at 2:37 pm on Sunday. I also put a listing on Craigslist to help expand the search. We also kept checking the Found! website throughout the day and evening on Sunday to see if the dog's listing was posted. It was never listed. Well, we found the dogs owner through Craigslist the very next day. The owner said she called the Humane Society several times and kept checking the Found! website, but with no result. It was on a whim that she checked Craigslist on Monday. We never heard from Found! until Tuesday at 3:37 pm by email. The executive director, Bruce Cameron, emailed us asking for the same information that we gave to the Humane Society. I emailed him back telling him we found the dogs owner through Craigslist and gave him some objective criticism about the speed of his service. He then responded very quickly to me (15 minutes after I sent my email) and proceeded to tell me that it was my fault because I did not provide the correct information. Now I admit I do not know how this service works with the Humane Society, but there appears to be a huge disconnect on both ends. My reviews purpose is to inform other fellow pet owners who have lost a pet and people who have found a pet how this service currently works. I also hope this service can take this criticism to heart when trying to improve itself. A full two day response is a disservice to lost animals and is unacceptable. I truly wish this needed and valuable service improves it's track record.

I have to say that I'm puzzled by the review that described PAWSitively CATS as "depressing" with a…read morelack of space for cats and visitors. As someone who has volunteered there for over 15 years, I can attest that there are 3 separate large areas for different populations of cats (adoptable/sanctuary cats, Feline Leukemia cats, Special Needs/less than social cats) and each area typically houses between 20 and 30 felines. There are multiple rooms with screened in porches for the cats to enjoy, benches for visitors to sit on, and the only time I've seen the cats "swarm" is at the end of the day when cleaning is finished and they're expecting their treats. The post in question also claims that there is an online schedule of hours indicating that the shelter is only open to the public one day a week for 2 hours. I haven't been able to find that; instead hours are listed on Facebook as shown in the image I'm including. PAWSitively CATS is run by just a few staff members (some part time) and a few dozen dedicated volunteers. The cats are well cared for and happy.

If there was one word to describe this shelter, it would be: Depressing…read more My visit to Pawsitively Cats genuinely was an experience I never want to feel again. I am someone who ADORES cats, the type of person that will take in a stray and rearrange my whole life to care for them until their last breath. My love is so great that it pains me to see these adoptable cats living in such an uninviting space. This shelter is open to the public one day a week for TWO HOURS. I thought it was an error when I saw that schedule online, but it's true. Upon entering, the building is flooded with adoptees, and for a cat lover you'd think that'd be a dream, but instead of excitement I felt a wave of anxiety. This shelter has dim lighting that doesn't allow you to see the cats clearly, and there's no space to really connect with any of them. There didn't seem like any sort of organization to pinpoint which cat was which, and since a lot of cats do look alike, you could only hope the one you bonded with is the same one you're adopting. As I tip-toed around the cats to look at the ones in cages (for medical or behavioral purposes), I could just sense the discomfort in their eyes. Safety measures seemed nonexistent in this place; anyone could easily step on a cat's paw or trip with how many swarm around you. The worst part was when I had a tour of a backroom where countless cats were fighting for a spot to feel the fresh air from a screen window. It was like looking at a can of sardines; I can't imagine any cat could present their best selves under these circumstances. Not only is there an extremely limited window to visit this shelter, but when you do, it makes you feel unhappy being there. You'll feel just as cramped and exposed as these poor babies.This situation could be the incentive for more people to adopt here, but I don't think that's fair on either side. The cats don't have any room to get to know their future owner, nor will they behave calmly when they're fighting for the spotlight. As for visitors, they'll feel more inclined to rescue the cats out of pity more than genuine connection. I wouldn't recommend anyone coming here, but then again, I almost wish you do come to decrease the population inside the shelter. I advise those who run Pawsitively Cats to work on expanding their business; a huge reconstruction of the place so there's more room for cats to live comfortably side-by-side. I am aware that there may be financial concerns involving this, so in that case, I'd suggest relocating these cats somewhere that can better cater to their needs. I'd rather that than have those innocent fur babies trapped in a dark and bleak shelter any longer. I understand that this shelter was built out of love for animals, I truly do, but for the sake of their wellbeing, Pawsitively Cats must improve. If not, people will not be inclined to help out, and the cats will be in no state to become someone's lifelong friend.

I purchased Bagheera, an 11 year old Shire mare who was sold to me as "bomb proof". I paid what I…read morefeel is an extreme amount for a horse than turned out to be green and very unused to more advanced riding. She's scared of dogs, cars, trucks, mud, etc. She has zero knowledge on leg commands and does not know how to move her rear. Anytime someone puts leg pressure she begins to act out by throwing her head. If you use your boot heels lightly or have light spurs on and gently use them to get her attention, she rears and kicks. In thick brush of a creek bed she began to buck and kick about 6 feet into the air because of the brush hitting her (at least that's what I think happened because there wasn't any other issue I could see). She bucked and kicked quite a ways and rubbed me against a tree where I lost a stirrup and went down. I'm a widow who lost my husband in January. I have two teenage boys who are terrified of being orphaned. My son now has ptsd from seeing her come out of the thicket kicking about 6 feet into the air (his words) without me and having to run to find me thinking I was gone too. They knew my story and sold me a green inappropriately handled mare anyway. I gave them a chance to make the situation right but all they offered was to bring her back on my dime and get no refund. When I declined because my boys were attached to her already (this was before she went rodeo on me) I asked about a second at a discount price. That way I wouldn't feel taken advantage of with what I paid. Thus far they've declined. This doesn't even cover the fact that there's a good chance she has cushings because she's lactating NOR the fact that I asked for a vet health check and all they did was a coggins test and lied about getting a vet health clearance. So I have one mare I'm going to have to spend a lot of money on testing her for hormone issues, plus have to spend months for a professional trainer. I purchased my second from another place in hopes of more honesty and professionalism. I do not recommend.

What can be better than helping people with their wedding and saving horses, a pair made to fit. Lots of amazing horses for all levels. Friendly horses who just want to love on you.
