We went through a few rescues and found that they were too invasive and rude and judgmental, or they didn't know the dogs at all. Lucky puppy is neither of those things. Our application was easy but I felt asked appropriate questions about us/our history-shows they care where their dogs go. Then I was in contact with someone to go over the next steps. We visited the rescue on a Sunday-it's a dogs paradise. We ended up adopting that day after meeting a few awesome dogs. We keep in contact with our girls foster. They do so much good for the community and really set the dogs up for success. Will absolutely adopt from them on the future!

Dr. Ryan is the most incompetent veterinarian in Saratoga Springs…read more Last August our then 13 year old chow mix rescue started having severe urinary issues. She needed to go outside constantly. We had to leave our back door open at night so that I could sleep a few hours. This issue continued. I brought Sarah in to be seen at least once a month with the same symptoms never getting better. I expressed how worried that I was that she had a bladder tumor. I took videos of our girl pushing blankets and toy's between her legs. The video clearly showed how uncomfortable that she was. Her urinalysis always came back showing infection. Big red flag. Dr. Ryan said since there was no blood in her urine it was not cancer. Never once did she recommend an ultrasound or even an x ray. After 3 or 4 times seeing a vet for the same symptoms, especially when they were getting worse, a competent veterinarian would have suggested an ultrasound of some kind of imaging. I finally called her office and said that " she needs an ultrasound ". One week later we had an appointment for an ultrasound. The radiologist took Sarah back for the 20 minute exam. Five minutes later Sarah was back in the exam room. The radiologist was right behind her. He gave us the devastating news that my special girl had a large tumor in her bladder, it was inoperable, and it was pushing on her urethra making it very difficult to empty her bladder. Imagine going for more than 7 months with that kind of pressure on your bladder. Anyone that's ever had a bladder infection knows how painful and uncomfortable it is. We started treatment a few days later but it was too late. On April 15 2023 we had to rush our girl to UVS in Latham. She was very uncomfortable, had stopped eating, and was drooling. She died in my arms that morning. I am completely devastated over losing her in such a brutal way. Our girl suffered. There's no doubt about it. Two weeks later Dr. Ryan sent my husband and I an email titled " termination of professional services". She accused us of posting phony emails and social media reviews to her accounts. I haven't had FB since April 2020. I had every intention of going to a bigger and better practice after she failed to diagnose Sarah's cancer. She dismissed everything and every detail I talked to her about. Her exact words " let's not go searching for something we don't want to find". My Sarah's bladder could have ruptured had I not stepped in. Spring Family Vet is not a hospital. It's a clinic. The only reason she terminated us as clients is because I made an absolute fool of her. We followed our veterinarian Dr. Amy Bergin here from another practice. I should have considered it a big red flag when Dr. Bergin left this practice in less than a year of being there. Dr. Bergin would have immediately suggested an ultrasound for our Sarah had she still been there when these symptoms started. I knew my sweet girl had something very serious going on. Please advocate for your animal companion. Trust your gut. We have filed a complaint with the NYS Department of education for professional misconduct against Dr. Ryan. No other animal companion or their human should ever have to suffer from her incompetence. She is not a strong enough veterinarian to have her own practice. She pushes this ridiculous " fear free " baloney! Let's face it ! A veterinary clinic could be built out of steak bones and most dogs will be very scared and stressed when they come in. She should be working under the supervision of a much stronger vet. This is the most devastating loss I've ever experienced with one of my beloved dogs. Gina Burns

While I never had any issues with major illness or injuries, standard checkups and vaccinations never resulted in sticker shock. The only downside is that as it is a small practice, the hours are not the most convenient. No weekend or evening hours available.

Ruby is our fourth rescue and the animal love of our lives. Part Red Boned Coon Hound part Mastiff…read moreshe is a big girl with a bigger personality. By 2 years old Ruby had gotten her canine good citizen certificate and participated in various training/socialization programs. She is obedient, loving with all humans, especially kids and enjoys most dogs. Every so often certain dogs seem to flip her switch. On those occasions this big girl looks aggressive. Never has she hurt or touched another dog, but the barking and snarling concerned us enough to seek out a behaviorist. We found Sarah Todd through an internet search and respected her bio of credentials and experience. Speaking with Sarah on the phone prior to engaging her only confirmed that we had found a consummate professional. Sarah drove over an hour to consult with us. She allowed us to demonstrate Ruby's behavior in the environment and situations we encounter daily. Sarah spent our consultation time really listening to our concerns, giving us some important foundational information that we needed for a basic understanding of reactive behavior and excellent suggestions for activities, reinforcement and responses to modify Ruby's behavior. The harness she recommended has been a game changer for enjoying walks with Rubes. Sarah followed up the consultation with a written account of what was discussed. The suggestions weren't a magic bullet because they required consistency, but the effort is so worth the result. Basic training is a pet owner's responsibility to their pet and to themselves. But when you are faced with an issue that truly impacts the ability for your dog to be socially integrated, I can't emphasize enough the value of engaging someone like Sarah who has the experience, training, and ability to convey the information in a way that makes sense and is able to be applied practically in a way that allows you to live your life with your dog, not around them. Sarah is worth every penny...and then some.

We are forever grateful to Upstate AMC for the compassion and kindness they showed our dog,…read moreGeorgia, on the last day of her life. Georgia was the sweetest dog: gentle, loving, and truly part of our family for 15 wonderful years. Like many older dogs, she was very much a creature of habit and happiest at home with the people she loved. When I came home from work one day last week, Georgia suddenly could not move and was clearly suffering. We were devastated. I immediately called our regular veterinarian, where Georgia had been a patient since she was a puppy, but they were fully booked and unable to see her that day. I then called Upstate AMC. Although they were also extremely busy and booked up, the veterinarian (Dr. Tamas) heard our situation, felt compassion for Georgia, and made the decision to see her anyway. That kindness meant more to our family than we can adequately express. Upstate AMC treated Georgia with dignity, gentleness, and compassion during one of the hardest moments of our lives. Because of them, Georgia is no longer suffering, and we were able to say goodbye peacefully knowing she was being cared for by people who truly cared. Needless to say, we will be switching to Upstate AMC moving forward. We cannot thank them enough for the empathy, humanity, and compassion they showed our sweet girl when she needed it most.

I have had nothing but great experiences with them, even including the saddest part of having a dog, putting my Ella to sleep. All the doctors that work there are wonderful and thoughtful. Recently my favorite doctor bought the practice and I see it's even better now due to Dr. David Tamas. Recently they have brought in a pet nutritionist, Dr Sierra Bouchard. One of my dogs has had chronic diarrhea for some time no mater what I fed her! I worked with Dr Bouchard extensively. She took all the information from her blood work and came up with a home cooked food recipe which cured her within a week. During that time I was in with the doc via phone and email with any questions I had. She always responded to my calls and emails right away. She even checked in with me while I was away for a month. An extra bonis of the practice is that Dr. Tamas furthered his training and can now perform acupuncture and use other holistic methods. As far as I am concerned. , this is the only practice I would ever go to .
