Great experience compared to other reviews! I was skeptical at first because of the reviews, but everyone seems to care about the welfare of the puppies. We got our Pomeranian here. If we were to look for another puppies Shake a paw would definitely be on the top of our list. read more

Great experience at Greenbrook Shake a Paw. We took home a beautiful baby cocker spaniel. Want to thank Nicole and Brittany for a wonderful experience in getting a new family member Thank you read more

I'm surprised by the low reviews for this place. Shake-A-Paw was amazing when we got our brand new Cavapoo puppy, Ellie! We originally tried to go through adoption, but the process is so lengthy. We even fostered some dogs but their size and temperament just didn't work out for our lifestyle. I'm glad we tried rescuing first, but it's ultimately not for everyone. A lot of people have negative thoughts about pet store shopping but Shake-A-Paw is the best. We needed a calm but active puppy, who was small in size, and fit perfectly into our 1BR apartment. Meet Ellie! A 13 week old Cavapoo from Iowa. When we saw her in the store, we just knew she was the one. The sales associate who helped us was named Bryan, and he spent so much time with us. He went over everything in detail and took us step-by-step through all of the paper work. He even walked around the store with me and helped me choose all the essentials that we would need. The whole process, from walking in the door to leaving probably took a little over an hour. It's not like you just walk in, choose a dog, and leave. You have to prove your income and they call you to verify if you're a real person and to prove that all your information is factual. All medical records and breeder information as well as parental lineage was provided to us upon purchase. We got to see where she lived prior to coming to Shake-A-Paw and what her parents looked line (as well as their medical history). It was so thorough. Bryan assured us that he would give us a call at the end of the week to see how Ellie is doing. I really appreciated his kindness and professionalism. It wasn't just like he was trying to make a quick sale. He even told us stories about his own dogs, which made him appear so knowledgeable. My advice to anyone looking for a dog is this: Buy the dog that fits best into your lifestyle, don't adopt just to adopt. If you adopt a wonderful dog that works well for you, that's amazing but typically shelter and rescue dogs come with years of trauma, neglect, or abuse. It takes a certain type of person to be able to handle that and give them the life they deserve. Ellie was the best choice for us and we're so thrilled we have her as our baby now. Thank you, Shake-A-Paw, for bringing us immense joy with our darling puppy. Update after 3 weeks of getting our girl: Ellie is as sweet as can be. People are RIDICULOUS! You're buying a PUPPY! To the one reviewer who said, "They drug the dogs. I got the world's worst Pomeranian. They just bark all day long". YEAH THAT'S WHAT DOGS DO IF YOU DON'T TRAIN THEM! As for people complaining about health issues and vet expenses, that's what you signed up for! To care for the dog, no matter what. A dog is not disposable. They are hard work. These reviews are written by irresponsible dog owners. Shake-A-Paw is a reputable place to become a pet parent. Please understand, if you purchase a puppy, you will need to invest time and money for their lifetime! You need to train it and provide entertainment for it. If you don't, that is negligent and the puppy will display poor behavior. I'm almost livid at these people making such accusations against this business. Please read the positive reviews and ignore these crazy people. read more

Purchased a very sick dog from here in 2017. She just passed away after being ill for most of her life due to this place not sourcing reputable breeders. Looked up the "breeder" that was listed on her birth certificate and lo and behold it's a certified puppy mill that has a long rap sheet of illegal, unlawful practices in the state of Indiana. All of the charges are public record. My dog had multiple physical ailments as well as behavioral issues. Not her fault - she was a puppy mill puppy and I clearly didn't do my research as I was young and impulsive at the time. This place preaches that they source the best of the best breeders but if that were true, they would not have any dogs to sell. A simple google search will tell you that ethical breeders do NOT sell to pet stores. Under any circumstance. Period. A female beagle shouldn't have an issue staying above 13 pounds; that is, if they're healthy and not bred in an unhealthy environment. If you care about providing a loving home to a healthy dog - one that has a fair chance to make it to their breed's typical life span, I suggest you do NOT make the same mistake I made. And before I receive a snarky response from the "owner" - I'm a grieving pet parent who had to say goodbye to her fur baby years before I should have - at no one's fault but YOURS for the practices you conduct so don't come for me because now is not the time. It's my fault for not doing my research. Clearly. Save yourself the heartbreak and do not purchase a dog from here. I'll now live with the guilt and regret for the rest of my life that I couldn't save her from the inevitable. read more

We purchased two puppies over the years from here. They are both long gone but they were great dogs. I would purchase a puppy from here again. Dixie lived to 15 and Roscoe lived to 16. read more

We got our dog from here and immediately had serious health issues. We took him to the vet they recommended several times and his health continued to decline. I finally took him to the vet I used with my old dog and he was appalled. He said if our dog was a small/tiny breed he would have died. Only later from a family friend of the vet we found out that he once lost his license for putting down the wrong dog! I also became friends with someone who used to work there who told me horror stories about what goes on behind the scenes. Normally I don't write bad reviews, but my sources are incredibly reliable and it was my experiences that I can personally attest to. I would never step foot in there again and now only adopt rescue dogs. This place should be a I realize that the management of this place is trying to do damage control because of what I wrote, but there is truly nothing that can be said that will ever get me to retract my original review of this place. EVER! I would love to give names from their past employees, but I would never call out my friends like that. Maybe it has changed over the years, but I still stand behind my post. read more

I recommend adopting the animals from here. Only thing I do not like is the poor dogs are sleeping on metal all day, with no bed or anything. Some of the dogs have blankets than are thin to lay on. They drink water from a hamster like water dispenser. I have seen some dogs who also have to poop and pee on the wee pads under the dog and it sits there. read more

I always said I would never buy a puppy from a pet store. A couple months ago my husband and I were across the street to get some dimsum but unfortunately the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed. As we were sitting in the car trying to figure out where to eat he saw the shake a paw across the street. We went in there on a whim and saw an adorable beagle up for adoption. Played with him for a little while and we left. The next day I called to see if he was still available and he was already adopted. Fast forward a couple months later...we stopped by on our way home one day to see if they had any more beagles up for adoption. As we were walking around with my son my husband noticed a pembroke welsh corgi. He's always wanted one so we asked to see him and he was adorable. We had our 2 year old with us and the puppy seemed really good around him. We put a deposit on him and came back the next day to get him. Amanda was really helpful and answered all of our questions (even after we went home the first day and called back with questions). The place was very clean and I was surprised to see that they fed and carried high quality food. We have no complaints about our experience here. The puppy we got is a great puppy. We've had him for a little over a month now and he's been nothing but wonderful. We almost have him house broken and he has a great temperament. Very happy with our purchase and experience. read more

We just said goodbye to our beloved Shmutz Punim after 16 incredible years. Shake A Paw gave us a very healthy puppy and he was loving and caring every day of the decade and a half he spent in our home. In 2005, we visited multiple times when Shmutz was in Green Brook and it was meant to be when we returned to bring him home. He was the light of our life. read more

The owner John could care less about customer loyalty or his customers at that. I have purchased 2 dogs from this company for myself and my parents so I returned this time and I purchased a dog bc the sales rep assured me multiple times that it was a hypoallergenic breed. The next day my husband and I were ill. I called the shop and the owner told me that all sales are final and that I should have taken my allergies into consideration, which I did.. I asked multiple times and was told she was second generation and would take after the poodle side. I asked the owner to please do the right thing and take this puppy back and all he could say was to give it up for adoption. They sold me something I didn't want, and paid $4,700 for it. They don't care about you or the business you bring. They take your money and pretty much tell you to F off..they weren't willing to help me at all... read more

I had an excellent experience at shake a paw. The staff is super friendly and compassionate. The facility is very clean unlike other stores i visited. The owner was also very professional and and if you read his bio on their site you will see why. It's so difficult not to adopt every puppy as they're extremely cute. They get 5 stars also for real running this not only like a business but also as compassionate pet lovers. read more

The guy worker who works here is extremely rude (9/26/21 at 5:30pm). Would not let us take a dog out because "it was too close to closing", yet there was more than 30 minutes left with no other customers in the store. Instead of letting us take a dog out, we saw him taking a phone call outside arguing with someone. Drove here for nothing. Get better employees. read more

It has been a year since my terrible tragedy with Shake a Paw. I have gone a long time without sharing my story, debating whether I should or not. After reflecting, I have decided I must. I purchased a pomsky puppy from the Greenbrook Shake-a-Paw location in August of 2019. Our puppy appeared to be perfect- happy, energetic and playful. I had paid for the puppy half in cash and financed the remaining cost. About a week after getting the puppy, we took him to our own veterinarian instead of one of the Shake-a-Paw "affiliated" vets. This was probably the best choice we made in this entire process. Our vet had noticed some upper respiratory issues and put our puppy on antibiotic for Kennel Cough, a common illness amongst puppies from a store. After the puppy did not respond to the antibiotic over 2 weeks, our vet became very concerned. Our puppy looked awful- his nose was crusted in mucus, constantly coughing and sneezing, had conjunctivitis and was extremely lethargic. Our vet told us of a rare viral disease called distemper- which is fatal in 90% of puppy cases. Distemper is very rare these days due to vaccinations- so we were told the chances were slim. Our puppy was given a distemper test that was to take 5 days for results. However, at this point, our puppy was so lethargic and ill, we were told he needed to be taken to an overnight hospital for IV treatment. We had to go to NYC to do so, in which one overnight stay was upwards of $1K. Luckily, our veterinarian was equally as disturbed as we were, and reminded us of the "not fit for sale" policy that comes with purchasing a puppy. This would mean that Shake-a-Paw was legally obligated to cover any medical bills for an illness the puppy had upon purchasing. Our veterinarian confirmed that based on his symptoms, whatever illness the puppy had was present upon the date of purchase. I called Shake-a-Paw the next day in tears. I explained the situation at hand and I received a call back from the owner. He was defensive from the start and was very intimidating- asking questions and expressing that there is, exact quote, "no distemper in my store". However, 2 days later we received the results that our puppy had tested positive for distemper. I shared the news with the owner and he gave me two options. The first option was to return the puppy and exchange him for a new one of equal value. This solution was so disturbing to hear at this time. Why would I return my sick puppy whom I had already formed a strong bond with? Not to mention they would have very likely put him down to save themselves the cost of medical bills. He also offered to have "his" vet take a second look at the diagnosis. This was possibly the most shady comment of them all. Why would his vet be more reputable than mine? I would not take the risk of bringing my puppy to this establishment that he clearly had questionable ties to. I looked up the veterinary office he mentioned, in which they received dissatisfactory reviews. This was not even an option in my mind. The second option was to keep the puppy and try to cure him on our own accord. I stated that this was the option I chose and he expressed that he would be "happy" to cover the vet bills, however, capping off at 2x the purchase price of the dog. For those who are familiar with the cost of veterinary care, that money would not go a long way. Might I add, we had already spent a large fraction of that purchase price the first night at that hospital. We had no choice at this point but to bring our puppy home since we could not afford to keep him at that hospital for multiple nights. We made our own treatment plan with our veterinarian and were able to give him the best care for 2 months post diagnosis. We did everything we could to try and fight to virus, but were unsuccessful. The owner did reimburse us for every vet bill and the purchase price of the dog, however, as a reminder, this was not an act of generosity, rather a legal obligation. I emailed him to let him know when our puppy passed, in which he replied "I am sorry for your loss- he put up a good fight!". There was never any contact afterwards nor was I ever offered a new dog or compensation of any sort. I was actually surprised the owner did not hesitate at the possibility of me sharing this story. I believe he created a narrative that he did all he could and this was an unfortunate accident. I am sure I will receive some sort of hostile response to this post. However, I have gone through a year of therapy from watching my puppy slowly deteriorate and die at the age of 3 months. I am forever disturbed by this experience and having some more mental clarity a year later, I felt it was necessary to share my story and not worry about the reaction. read more

Went here for the first time with my hubby to check out puppies and convince him to get one. We were going to check out one puppy but one of the staff said puppies are going to sleep now. We're closing! My hubby got turned off and decided not to get one. After two weeks, we went want back. One of the staff helped us. Amanda was nice enough to show us two puppies that we like.

Terrible service. Came into this store, loved some of the puppies and the store, was ready to walk out with a puppy then stephany was extremely RUDE!

I was in shake a paw today and they do have a good staff very clean store however. There was a family with a few small children there and they requested to see a small pomarian . While in the small room with the dog one of the children must have accidentally dropped the puppy. You could hear the puppy screaming.with all of there help why didn't one of there people stay in that room. The staff worker said oh the dog is ok. Now dog rescue workers are there . We all know the small breeds need supervision around small puppies. Just out to make money. Get on these people who work there to stay with these people. Store had slot of staff working and store was not busy . Guess they get paid to walk around read more

This is a great place to get a puppy. We purchased our puppy almost a year ago and it's been a great experience.

Nikki however is wonderful and has endless knowledge about dogs. read more

Got my puppy from here and fell in love with it instantly .After I got home she started sneezing and coughing. Took her to the vet come to find out she had pneumonia and had to stay 3 days at the vet for observation. I was crashed cause I got attached to her right awayand I was crashed when I had to leave her, I didn't sign up for this I thought. Took almost a month to get her better driving every day to the vet and leaving her there and picking her up after work. She was on three different antiobiots and on nebulizer twice a day or more. I was told by the vet that I wouldn't be responsible for the bill since the dog was sick when I got her, did not pay a penny the store got the bill . She is a happy and joyful puppy I wouldn't trade her for any other puppy. read more

Found my best friend here a little over two years ago! I found the place to be very clean and well kept, the staff here was also kind and helpful in assisting with any questions. I love that they give a list of recommended vets, its very helpful for new pet owners; the veterinarian I chose off the list has been nothing but amazing since my dog's first visit! They also feed high quality kibble which is great. I know many people who have also gotten their dachshund here with the same experience as myself, I never have personally heard anything negative. Would recommend and go back! read more

I was just in the store very interested in looking to adopt a long haired Chihuahua they have. From the moment I walked in not one person of the 3 in the store not one person greeted me which left a mad taste in my mouth. I walked around the store for 15 looking at the dogs and no one asked if I needed help or if I wanted to see any of the dogs. This is not the first time I have visited and not had any interaction with anyone in the store every time the same thing but I will never step back in the store. And not to mention there was no one else in the store and they watch you walk in through a big glass window. read more

I bought my yellow lab from the Greenbrook location in September and I couldn't be happier. I was absolutely sick from consistently being denied to adopt because I live in an apartment so I stopped in on a Saturday evening just to check it out. Amanda was awesome, she knew I was in love and asked if I wanted to take the pup home with me. I needed to purchase supplies for her and get my daughters buy in before I took her home. We named her Charlotte and call her Charlie, even Amanda agreed, it's a perfect name for her!! In order to remain in compliance with the contract, we took Charlie for her first vet appointment 2 days after we took her to her new and forever home and she received a clean bill of health! I'm still madly in love with our new fur baby and grateful to Shake a Paw and Amanda for helping us fulfill our wish to have a puppy despite the heartache of adoption denials!! I strongly recommend this establishment and Amanda! Thank you again! read more

Just drove past this Shake a Paw that we purchased our 1st Basset Hound puppy from many years ago. It brought back horrible memories that I thought I would share....1st of all, most if not all Shake a Paw puppies come from puppy mills in the mid west. If you know this then you are most certainly not walking into these puppy stores. Well, I'd heard about puppy mills but really didn't know too much about them until after we bought our pup. She was a beyond gorgeous Basset with ears that would make you drool! I had called breeders in the area and they basically told me that if I wasn't going to show it, then they weren't going to sell me one. I felt I had no choice but to end up at a dog store which I did. She was quite expensive but it was for my husbands birthday so it really didn't matter too much. We played with her and immediately bought her. The following day, she started coughing. Luckily we had a vet appt with my old vet 2 days later so we were going to wait it out. Well that evening, we made an emergency trip with her and had her chest x-rayed to find out pneumonia/kennel cough. My vet was so disappointed in me buying a pet store dog and told me to contact the store because this was terrible. The store owner said we could return her for our money back or keep her and he'd pay the vet bill. How can you return a new family member that is a living breathing creature I ask you?! We obviously kept her (because quite honestly, I thought he would have had her euthanized - that's how bad she was). She finally got better but along came a whole slew of other medical issues. Long story short, we ended up saying good bye to our beloved pup at 17 months old due to awful medical ailments. We spent over $10,000 in her short little life in medical bills trying to get her help and believe me, we would have remortgaged the house if she'd had a chance. It was the most horrible 17 months of our lives and wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy! After her death, I really looked into where these stores get their dogs from and it made me sick...literally made me want to throw up. I proceeded to contact a friend who knew a breeder that had just had a litter of hounds and we bought 2 - brother and sister. We recently lost my girl at 13y 4m and we still have her brother at 13y 6m. What a difference between a proper breeder and a pet shop. The next hounds will be rescues but from a proper rescue not Shake a Paw rescue! Please think twice and do your research on pet store pups.....you'll be horrified at what you will learn! read more

I bought my mini goldendoodle, Sonny, from here back in November. He is amazing. They provided me with all of his breeder's info, medical records and vaccine schedules. I even reached out to the breeder myself to ask what exact breed his parents were and he was so kind and answered right away. I cannot remember who I bought him from but she was also amazing and had the coolest hair. I am extremely allergic to dogs otherwise I would have had 150 of them by now, but when I asked to play with Sonny I rubbed him all over my face and did not break out once. Sometimes non-shedding dogs still bother me because of their dander but he seemed to be very clean. I purchased a Shih-tzu from a puppy store about 10 years ago and she passed away at just 4 years old from lymes disease that they conveniently did not tell us about. My father was heartbroken and swore we would never get another dog again BUT after 1 second of seeing him in your store, I showed up with Sonny anyway and now he loves him and I want another one!!! read more

Approx. 4 years ago I got my first dog after moving into my own place from this store. At a year and a half, showing no symptoms, he had a sudden heart attack and died. It was traumatizing. Vet said it was most likely congenital. Just having passed the warranty time I got nothing from the store, they honestly didn't seem fazed. He was my best friend and it was a very hard time. Fast forward to two months ago my mom purchased a puppy. She puked when they first seen her, figured she had just eaten and all the activity made her sick so she went ahead and brought her home. Had I known I would've told her that's where my first dog was from but i didn't find out until after. That day when I went to meet her I notice she sounded congested with a slight cough. We brought her to the vet that same day. Turns out she had kennel cough, a uti, two types of worms and thousands of ear mites. Mind you the puppy just arrived at the store at 8 weeks she had only been there a week and was "checked" by the vet, vet my butt. Anyways to date the vet has charged this shake a paw $700+ for the treatment of all of this because the puppy was not fit for sale. Everything is cleared up, however the pup still either has a uti or something internally is not set up right. A culture was taken today to see if the uti is resistant to certain antibiotics (the hopeful outcome) or she will have to go to a specialist for surgery which partly will come out of my pocket because this store only covers 2x the purchase price. I'm sorry but if she needs surgery $3300 is not going to cover it. Not to mention $1,650 is a steep steep price to pay for a sickly puppy. Giving her back was not an option, she obviously was not properly cared for, nor did we think they'd step up to the plate now. Use your head, if a puppy arrives at the store at eight weeks it means it was taken away from its mother much earlier then that which no good breeder does. These dogs do not learn bite inhibition from their litter mates and they can come out with all sorts of nasty personalities I know I've bet a couple. Both dogs after looking at their paper work came from the mid west the puppy capitol of the world, and were directly linked to the hunte corporation. Google it. The kennel mine came from actually had several citations after I looked it up. One being an injured dog being kept in a to small cage it could not stand in. Sad really. Do not buy from here. Adopt or look for a breeder if you must but do not support these places. When the owner was contacted in regards to this he was "appalled" and said he'd contact the breeder etc like he had no part in this... really the puppy was in your care for a little over a week and you failed to provide it any care or get it checked by a legitimate vet full well knowing you got it from a puppy mill. Best we can do now is hope there is nothing else wrong with the dog that we find later down the line that could shorten her already short life like it did my own. His place makes me sick. read more

Getting our puppy at Shake A Paw in Greenbrook, NJ. Got the most adorable, lovable and most important HEALTHY puppy here 3 years ago. The only problem that we have with him is that he HATES being brushed! It is the only time he growls and shows teeth. He has been like this from day one...so nothing we have done or our groomer has done. Not great having a Shihpoo that won't let you brush him. What kind of trauma could have happened? He is absolutely wonderful as far as everything else!!! Thank you Shake A Paw - I usually would never purchase a dog from a pet shop - but fell in love with his sweet face and gentle personality. Oh, and you said he would be black and white...well we have a silver and white dog. He is a great dog! I would purchase a puppy again from you - have stopped in several times to look for another pup - but I keep brushes in the car in case we find just the right dog! People often complain on here, but with our dog...a great review should be written! read more

Came to really get a sense of what kind of puppy we wanted. The staff was unbelievably rude. There was no greeting, no help, barely acknowledged us. no interest in our obvious interest to actually buy a dog and make some decisions. After 10 minutes of being ignored by the staff, we asked if we could actually pet the puppies and get acquainted. (We called the day before and got permission but their attitudes were so tense that we had to double check.) One of the male staff members said we could as long as we were actually serious about buying. We assured that we were and he said nothing, walked away, and sat at his personal computer, totally ignoring our request. It was my girlfriends birthday and we were so excited about meeting these puppies. Trying to make it special. But the staff ruined the whole experience. Not to mention the pups looked sickly. Cages dirty. Feces in some of them!!! Horrible. Save your time for an establishment that truly loves animals! THIS ONE SUCKS and the staff seem miserable and theyre sabotaging the future of the pups. No good! read more

Today we returned a female Yorkie we bought two days ago because she had an upper respiratory infection, intestinal parasites, and Parvo virus. Since Parvo is so contagious it seems likely that she isn't the only dog there with Parvo. During the two days we had this dog we visited the vet twice. She was given intravenous liquids because was too sick to drink or eat. The vet told us that with a dog this small (2 lbs 4 oz) it is difficult for them to fight all these problems. Parvo is deadly and with it alone the vet gave the dog a 50/50 chance. With all three problems the dog has a poor chance at survival. My other dog had all her Parvo vaccines so she should be protected. My wife got attached during this short time and she will be sick about this for a long time to come. Our hearts go out to this precious Yorkie and anyone who is facing a similar problem. read more
