    Ear "tip"

    I wish I could give less stars than 1... I was devastated to see how much of her ear had been cut off. I trusted this clinic to treat my cat with care.. I understand ear tipping can be done for barn cats, but this looks like far more than it should be. I showed the photos to my vet today, and they told me the ear was cut way too short. Every time I look at her now I tear up, it breaks my heart. I truly wish my cat had been treated with more care and consideration.

    Waiting out front to get my pup

    This place is an amazing place to get your dog or cat or animal spayed or neutered. You have to wait in a long line, but it is worth it and my pup has healed amazingly. The ladies and gentlemen, that work here are beyond kind and care about animals . I am always down to support small business..

    Dry stuck poop on both back paws!

    Today I had my puppy neutered and thought everything was all good with him! But once he sat next to me all I could smell was poop and wasn't long after that I noticed all the dry hard poop stuck in his tail and back of his legs! Also his back paw pad took at least 15 minutes of scrubbing to get all of the poop off of them! I understand puppies get scared and they do this sort of thing! But why couldn't you guys even try to clean him? He was in your care for 8 hours! I know you can't let them out to use the bathroom but he clearly was sitting in his own poop for a long time if not the whole time! I am extremely disappointed and it makes me feel like I made the wrong choice on who I chose to care for my dog!

When we adopted her July of 2011, thanks to David S.'s recommendation, she was just over a pound and tiny. The vet said he doubted she was a full eight weeks and she was a tad underweight but she had been spayed and her little baby belly had a little tiny stitch in it which healed nicely. She had a little bit of a goopy eye that she got drops for and it cleared up. Our vet gave her the initial exam for free because she was a rescue and gave her a clean bill of health. We began the fatten-up-baby-Leeloo project and now she is still small, but her proper, almost adult weight. Let's just say, she is the prefect match for our family and my heart is warmed every single time I see her especially when she crawls on my chest to wake me in the morning to point out the fact she is a Supreme Being - the Fifth Element and needs chicken. I hardly remember life without her now.

We applied that night, someone reached out within a couple of hours, and by the next day, he was a part of our family. We've had him for two weeks, and he's amazing. So nice to have the dogs in foster care before you get them. It allows the foster to really get to know the dog's personality better than if they're in a shelter, so they can help match the right dog to the right person/family. Love our sweet Gaucho!

    I never thought I would step into an animal shelter because of what I imagined all shelters to be…read morelike. Angels With Paws has given me a different and a positive perspective! My sister started volunteering here after the sudden loss of her precious Persian cat because she genuinely wanted connection with cats to help heal what she no longer had every day with her gorgeous cat. She has an endless amount of love to give, and this was a positive way that she could share that love with numerous cats every week and also feel loved back. She shared her experiences with me every time she volunteered on Mondays. I too love animals (it's a chemical imbalance for us in our family with our obsessions with animals!) and wanted to share in this healing journey with her, so she asked if I could join her when volunteering, and Angels With Paws kindly said YES! I was only going to do it once because of severe anxiety when it comes to animals not having a forever home. I had such a pleasant experience here!! You could easily see from Elizabeth, other workers and volunteers how much they love animals and truly want them to be matched with the best homes ... and make their stay there as comfortable as possible with lots of cozy beds, blankets, toys, food and treats! I do love visiting the cats either to volunteer with my sister or come for play dates when they're open to the public. There truly is something healing about interacting with animals, and I thank Angels With Paws for extending their kindness to creatures that just want love and a home.

The mission of Angels with Paws is great, but their "leadership" needs re-evaluation. Specially, Elizabeth Talamantez, as she is cruel and abuses the shelter's mission by trying to play God. I went to the shelter and immediately fell in love with one of their cats. The cat also took well to me. After reading the listing and visiting with the volunteer who observed how the cat and I interacted, there was no reason to believe this cat would not do well in my home with another cat. The listing never mentioned a home with existing cats being an issue, the social media post even encouraged a proper introduction with other pets in their new home, and when talking with the volunteer there was no mention of other cats being problematic. I submit my application and when I followed up, I was shocked to hear the "rationale" or lack of logic rather as to why I was being denied thr opportunity to save this cat. Elizabeth informed me that she felt it was best this friendly and affectionate cat "would do best being placed in a home with an aggressive cat or a dog" . What sick monster would subject a poor animal to an environment where they are being bullied by an aggressive cat or potentially terrified of a dog and not to mention this cat had no known history of being around dogs? Elizabeth Talamantez is not an animal advocate. She's a mentally disturbed individual who enjoys playing God by subjecting innocent animals to poorly placed homes. My family and I have consistently donated company matched donations and cat food throughout the years because we believe in the shelters mission, but we had no idea how disturbed the "leadership" is. For anyone reading this, I highly encourage you to consider donating elsewhere because your donations likely aren't being managed in a way that aligns with what the shelter claims. It's unfortunate how people will take advantage of innocent beings to fulfill their sick and twisted fantasies, while claiming to be a cat advocate.

Well now they are holding an elderly cat for him, and will waive the adoption fee for it because it's 10+ yrs old. This cat will not have a happy life if readopted by him.

So we wanted to meet her outside of the pen and they agreed and while we spent 2 hours bonding with the dog, the director basically said she would not be letting us get her because she was "bonded" with another dog even though there was no indication of that, the dogs sleep and eat separately, and did not interact with each other at all for the whole time we were there. The entire time she talked about everything other than the dog and when we tried to bring it up she changed the subject, and asked entirely inappropriate and unrelated questions. We came from 6 hours away and wasted our time bonding with the dog only to not be able to get it over something so arbitrary and subjective. The director would rather let that dog sit in a small pen in inhumane conditions than let someone get her and open that spot up for another rescue.

    WOW...what a perfect experience we had with RRAC!…read more Our 11 year old dog was in desperate need of a teeth cleaning as we had never had it done for her in the past...I know, bad, bad, bad, parents! After calling around and hearing the outrageous prices from other vets, we called RRAC and they quoted us around half of what most vets were quoting. Yes I did fear "you get what you pay for", but this was not even close to the case. The drop-off was simple...it took a little while but they were very busy. Dr. Vladimir (my apologies I forgot his last name) spoke with us for as long as we needed and assured us she was in good hands. The gentle care he had with our pet was so very welcome. They had her for about 4 hours to do the blood-work needed for anesthesia, prep, putting her under, cleaning and recovery. When we picked her up, again it took a little while, but they were very busy with other patients...most seemed to be return patients. Now what does that tell us? The bill was exactly what they had quoted, no surprises. Now for the cleaning results...remember, she had never had her teeth cleaned and they were almost all very dark and many were black. I was blown away by the results...it was if she was only 1 year old. Bright white, clean and shiny! I almost fell over and have not stopped thinking about the magificiant results. I want to stop everyone we see when we're walking her and say "want to see how clean our dogs teeth are"? Dr. Vladimir again was superb as was the staff. Duncan helped with the discharge papers...we could not have asked for a better or more friendly experience. He was great! Thank you all at RRAC! Because of our wonderful experience with you yesterday, we will be changing our vet care to you.

    Planet Pethood is a nice little pet food store at 43rd & Tennyson, right next door to Wine Jesters…read more(the new little wine shop in the neighborhood). The store has various brands and types of pet food, treats, and toys. She also has a few adoptable cats and dogs that were obviously given up by their uncaring people parents. The owner is a vet tech and a vegetarian, and she seems to care deeply about animals. The shop is not as big or as fancy as Mouthfuls pet boutique down the street but it carries the dog food we buy. Nature's Variety is a great natural dry dog food. Our dog loves all the flavors... and while it is more expensive than grocery store dog food, because the food has less cheap "fillers", dogs actually eat less than they would of other "cheaper" brands. So, the price is actually only slightly more more expensive when you factor in the whole bag lasts longer than the same size of cheaper brands. http://www.naturesvariety.com/ 4 1/2 stars because she cares about the animals!

You can view animals available for adoption- usually cats or small dogs- every day during store hours. The store owner describes Planet Pethood as, "a politically correct pet store." I can't justify giving any less than four stars to a cute shoppette that combines support for pet adoption and rescue with a fairly nice selection of foods, treats, toys, leashes, and everything you need for your dog or cat; and Planet Pethood fully deserves the four stars it's getting. I do, however, have some minor gripes. For starters, both the store itself and the website are unclear on exactly what Planet Pethood's involvement with Planned Pethood, the low-cost vet down the street, is. Nowhere can I find an actual percentage donated to a specific organization, and as a rescue person that sets off a serious case of nerves. The website describes the store owner as having her own rescue- but where is the name, the 501(c)3 status, the official website? Also many of the links point to Planned Pethood, but nowhere does the store owner declare an official affiliation. My spidey senses would be beeping if it weren't for the clear support of rescues via adoptable animals in store. I'd love to know if this store donates its profits, and if so, what percentage and TO WHOM; also, how closely, exactly, it is related to Planned Pethood. Second, I have a few snipes to take at the dog food selection. Canidae and Timber Wolf are excellent choices, but where is Innova Evo? I wanted a bag of Innova Evo Red Meat, but left empty handed because it doesn't appear to be on the shelves. And Avo Derm? It uses ground corn in several formulas- NOT exactly up to my pet food standards. Breeder's Choice is similarly well packaged but lacking in actual quality. However, for the slightly less picky than myself, Planet Pethood seems to be a nice pet supply store with many good choices and a true desire to support rescue and adoption.

In comparison to other places, I noticed the adoption fee was about 100$ less, so that is cool. I adopted Spud - also known as " The profesor" ( the name they gave him) last February and he has become a lovely addition to my pet family. He came with a bag of the food they were feeding him, a blanket and some coupons.

He also gets along with my senior cat well. The cats here are socialized, sweet and there's tons to check out. Someone for anyone - if you're looking/ready to take that step. I recommend!

She graduated some PT training with them, gave me much anxiety when her legs would hurt her, and they were always the very best at sending her home with me happy and healthy. Sadly, the last time I brought her here, it was too late to save her. Nessie was a Bernese Mountain Dog and she had hemangiosarcoma which was undiagnosed. Her symptoms the morning of her passing was primarliy lethargy, not wanting food, and pale gums. Within moments of me realizing she wasn't doing well, I got her into the car and sped to the hospital. As we were driving her symptoms got worse and I called ahead to ask for immediate help. The team was out front when we arrived and we got her onto a gurnee. I wiped out one of her eye boogers and told her I'd be right there to take care of her. Nessie sadly didn't make it to surgery. Her heart gave out before we could help her. But I know she got the best way to leave this earth as she was barely in pain and she wouldn't have liked the cancer treatment we were planning for her. The team did a really good job helping me through the hardest thing I've ever been through. My one regret is I wish I had woken earlier that day and tried to get her help faster. But sometimes things don't go the way we want. I hope if you're in need of urgent care, you can get your pup here swiftly and allow the team to do their very best. It's a hard job these Vets and the team have, taking care of our sweet angels. I've put off on writing this review as even though it's been three months, still feels very fresh to not have my sweetheart by my side. Thank you team for all your help. She was the very best girl.
