When I adopted my dog years ago he looked terrified in his picture on the website. When I went to…read morepick him up I wasn't allowed in the back. The front was bare and shabby looking. While I was waiting they were baiting a big German Shephard with a cat behind the counter to see if the dog got along with cats. That was when I decided "I don't like this place." When I got my dog they made me sign a waiver that said if he was ever surrendered he had to go back to Unleashed. That's a big NO.

They said I could come back another day to pick up the dog. No regard for my travels. They couldn't get the test done that day. Go figure. I decided to take the dog anyway. What a shocker to find out it she was HW positive... almost as if the script had been written. The head of this rescue treats herself to a nice 6 figure salary while the animal treatments fall short. A simple web search will let you know they've been investigated for poor practices. They have a history this. Volunteers will tell you the facility conditions are horrid & only certain folks are allowed behind the scenes.

I was appalled at the application process required to simply meet a pet. They expect you to provide…read morethe names and contact info for 3 references before they approve your application. In this day in age, I would think most people would think twice about tossing out a friend's private info to a business that you know nothing about . Perhaps over time that would be appropriate, but not simply to meet and greet. They rejected my application because I did not provide references and left a couple of other questions blank. I have no idea if they are a reliable shelter or not, or if their pets are healthy and a good investment for a family. After reading a few of the reviews below I suspect there are issues with those areas as well, but I have no personal knowledge of that. Please proceed cautiously with them with regard to submitting references.

I still haven't received the rabies tag and it's been almost 3 months now! I have called and asked for it numerous times to which they say they will send it to me, but they haven't gotten back to me or sent it yet! I am unable to drive due to disability. They are in Kansas and I am in Missouri.

We absolutely loved the positive reinforcement type of training our dog received from The Pet…read moreConnection. No choke collars or punishment tactics! We adopted our dog from a shelter and were unable to take her on walks because she would aggressively charge toward other dogs. We were taught distraction and other techniques to decrease her dog aggression. Our goal was to simply be able to take her on normal walks around the neighborhood and have her ignore other dogs. Initially, trainers taught us various distraction techniques, then they brought in "peer" dogs to desensitize her. We worked with different trainers sometimes but all were excellent. Within a few months we had a different dog! Of course we were different too. But, don't plan on letting the trainers do all the work. You have to put in time and effort to see results. If you care about your dog and you're willing to use the tools you're given, which are ample, your dog will learn quickly. We're so glad we found the Pet Connection and decided to take our dog there for training. Our dog loves her walks and now we love walking her! Thanks Pet Connection!

This place is fantastic. Both the women there were extremely nice and helpful. You can tell they…read morecare about the cats there and know them well. They also lock the door being its in the mall, that way the cats can roam around a larger area. When you get there, you'll ring the door bell to the right of the door and theyll come let you in from there. I'd highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking to give a cat their forever home!

NEVER GO HERE! The service is terrible, the staff is very rude (I'm talking to you, lady at the…read moredesk) and the cats get no human interaction whatsoever!

I have now adopted from RescueK911 twice and both times was an outstanding experience, very easy to deal with, yes they do look carefully at who they adopt to to make sure each animal is going to the best possible home for it.... if you are in search for a dog or cat I VERY highly recommend giving RescueK911 a very good long look you won't regret it at all!!!

They work closely with shelters with euthanasia policies to rescue kitties that might otherwise be euthanized. They are a foster home-based shelter so their kitties get plenty of socialization and attention and they make the trip to the shelter on the weekends so they can meet potential adopters. I've found Kitty City to be very easy to communicate with and they are deeply passionate about their mission.

Her website promised certain…read morefocus areas that my 12-week old pup needed help with, but through 2 sessions, few - if any - were covered. Then there was a multi-week gap in communication and eventually a text saying she didn't have the time or energy to help my pup out, all despite me having pre-paid for a 5 session pack. To make matters worse, she overcharged me by $100 for the pack. The only silver lining is that I was able to negotiate a partial refund. The whole experience soured me on Pam 4 Paws.

We found Pam upon a recommendation from a client who said she was amazing. We soon learned her…read moreknowledge of training pups was more than we could have asked for. We purchased her puppy package for in-home training sessions with our French Bulldog, Greta. Not only did Pam teach us how to interact with her, but Greta LOVED her and learned so much from her visits. At only four months, Greta is now potty trained, comes on command, sits on command, gives, 'hi-fives,' is crate trained, started to learn how to go on walks with a harness, knows command, 'up,' and 'off,' can fetch, and we learned how to calm her when she gets over stimulated. She even began some skateboarding with her! Of course we have to put in the work to continue to in grain these things in a puppy, but I can't even begin to convey the wealth of knowledge Pam imparted on us, so that we could acclimate more into puppy life and so Greta fit into ours. Pam teaches the human as well as the dog giving you a wealth of information, going above and beyond so that you know why a dog does the things they do, how to manage the behavior, and how the dog will absorb the training. She eased my worries and I was pleasantly surprised how expertly she worked with little ones. I can't recommend her services enough.
