    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.

    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.

    Probably should of wrote this some years back lol. I came here with my mom to get treats for my chihuahua and ended up leaving with a yorkie... that was 14 years ago lol. Kirby is still alive and living a very happy healthy spoiled life. I know per stores r frowned upon to get dogs from but we got lucky with him and he brings our family so much joy

    See all

It's a small narrow store, but a great selection of pet products to choose from. I've bought some pet toys here which were well loved by the recipients. Looking to adopt a new little friend? A new cat or kittens? They have cat adoptions every Sunday from one o'clock to 4 o'clock, in their roomy backyard, through the door in the rear of the store. You can see all the cats/ kittens that are available, in wire cages with water and a litter box. The cats/ kittens available may vary from week to week. In colder weather, a tent is set up over the entire area. If you see a cat/ kittens you like, adopt as soon as possible, because some are adopted out pretty quickly. Fill out the online adoption form and someone will get back to you within a few days. There are many volunteers there, helping out, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. If there is cat you like, you may get to touch and hold them, just ask. Finale note: this is a wonderful store because they work with cat rescue teams, who save kittens/ cats, to made this all happen. Having and playing with a cat, reduces stress!

Other reviewers have mentioned that in the past, like most pet stores, the animals came from "breeders". HOWEVER, on a visit today I was thrilled to see that their puppy and kitten sales policy has made a dramatic, and really admirable, turn for the better! Not only have the small cages disappeared, but the pups and cats for sale are ALL rescue dogs from the Humane Society and other rescue groups! The cages have been replaced by nice sized rooms that hold 2-3 puppies which can be seen cuddling and playing together. It's such a pleasant and uplifting change. I was interested in this change and did a bit of research and came across this article...http://m.humanesociety.org/news/magazines/2014/11-12/pet-stores-offering-shelter-adoptions.html - Pretty amazing!

I will gladly drive somewhere else for a cleaner environment. Oh, and not to mention, I will never buy my dogs raw food or Open farm kibble here because it's so much more expensive than where I currently buy it. I don't see them staying open in Qtown much longer. A newer pet store boutique will come along and offer so much more. No pride in ownership is very clearly going on here

For those that don't know, Leopard geckos and african fat tails store nutrients in their tails - my pic is an african fat tail who's tail is not fat. Why is that, you may ask? Because he is horribly malnourished. And why does he have stuck shed? Because the humidity in his tank is not up to the proper levels for correct care of the species. This place needs to be shut down. The treatment of the animals inside is absolutely horrifying. Not even the most basic of care is being done here. Pacman frog on dried out substrate. Chameleon with no mist/fog type system (or even a drip system which they need to, you know, DRINK). This place is an utter disgrace and the owner should be ashamed of himself. I came in here because I couldn't believe what people were telling me and, remarkably, it is ALL true. Every bit of it.

And management kicking there best and basically only employees out of a store just because management was angry that an employee asked you something is not ok. They are minors.
