On April 11, I adopted a very sweet brown tabby cat through the organization, PetsAlive. I named…read moremy new cat Theodore and was told that Theo had been found on the streets and had recently had scabies, eye surgery and skin issues - all of which seemed to be healing nicely. I was never told of his extensive dental disease or that he had feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). I noticed that Theo's energy level seemed a little low, but he was eating very well and didn't display any signs of digestive issues. I DID notice that his breath was very smelly, so I took him to my veterinarian. The long story made short is that Theo will have to have several teeth extracted and his length and quality of life could be affected because bloodwork showed that he is positive for FIV. I have requested that PetsAlive take care of the dental issues Theo has since I can't afford thousands of dollars for teeth to be extracted. My concern of permanently returning Theo to PetsAlive is that his cycle of being an unwanted rescue cat will continue. His life could be one of going from adoption site to adoption site and never being adopted because of his bad teeth and FIV diagnosis. Please be aware that, according to my veterinarian, there are several no kill shelters that DON'T test animals for FIV or leukemia. Before you adopt an animal, please ask if the animal has been thoroughly tested for diseases that could affect the animal's health and wellbeing.

If you're looking for a trainer, I can't say enough good things about Heather at Sea Dog!…read more She's done incredible work with Valor, a dog we rescued from a fighting ring. The work she has poured into him has literally brought me to tears, because he's come so far since he came through her doors. Heather doesn't just train dogs, she changes lives. Her heart is fully here for the dogs. She genuinely wants both dogs and their owners to live better, more enriched lives. Her approach is all about creating calm, confident, regulated dogs while also making things easier and more manageable for the humans. And something exclusive to this place, is they have a veterinarian on site, Dr. B! This is a selling point for me, knowing that medical needs could be addressed in the moment if necessary. If you're on the fence or just starting to look around for a trainer, call Heather. Seriously. She'll put you at ease immediately, and you'll know you made the right choice within minutes of talking to her. Heather - thank you for everything you've done for Valor and everything you continue to do. We appreciate you so much at Santo's Sanctuary & Rescue. Heather, Dr. B and her team truly care about the dogs, the people, and the community they serve.

We were interviewed and asked a series of questions about our history, experience, and familiarity with dogs. We introduced the volunteer to our well trained 2 year old brittany mix, and that helped expedite the interview process. At that point we were told we were approved to adopt a boxer, and asked if we had looked at the dogs they currently had - we hadn't picked one out at that point. My S.O. had her heart set on a female brindle, and they said they didn't currently have any but would let us know if one came up. We were looking at several different boxer rescues all over Texas, and were preparing to go see one in Austin. The night before we were going to make the trip, we got a call from LSRB that a 1 yr old female brindle was being returned by a foster, and was located about 20 minutes away. We contacted the foster, hopped in the car, and a little over an hour later we were home with our newest furry family member. That was 10 years ago - Pepper has been the perfect fit for us, and we're SO grateful to LSRB and for all the work they do for this wonderful breed. If you're considering a boxer, this is a terrific group to work with to make that happen!

Let's start with the fact I use to use this vet for over 15 years with Dr Sarter. Best vet I've had! Hands down. He sold this practice and they lost all hope. When I came in with my 6 yr old Shepard, my service dog, she was deathly ill and could barely walk. Confused and willing to do anything, we did x rays. Paid extra $100 for rush review from radiologist. (Scam) I hadn't eaten so I took dog and ran down the street for food. But right before the vet came in to inform me that my dog was 'consumed with cancer'. No chance of survival. Devastated, I went and called family and when I came back, she came back with the radiologist report that 'nope. No cancer'. WHAT?!! Just WHAT?! One minute she said one thing and poof it's gone. She then told me that she had disk issues and offered shot that blocks brain from feeling pain to help her walk. Next month injection free. Paid for that. I asked her to look in dogs nose to see if obstruction. She refused and I paid and left. More confused than before. After I left, I called back and got front desk when I asked her why she wouldn't look in dogs nose. She told me she saw doctor look. (Lies). I asked her to check with doctor because no. She didn't. Doctor hit on phone and confirmed no she didn't. (I paid for it though) they then deemed me to not come back because my questioning this and then refused to give my dog the second/included/paid for shot. I was lied to by staff, told my dog had and didn't have cancer and refusal to give treatment paid for. Your choice to pay money here. God help u. But notice how old most reviews are that are good and why score higher. It's the old owner time frame and person. Dr sarter. Shame on these people

Told me to go to a dog dermatologist or just let it burst on its own. I went back to my prior vet. I used to use them, but they are in the Woodlands and wanted someone closer. They told me draining them does not work. They put her on some meds to see if they can calm her head shaking down which may help the swelling go down. If not they will have to do proper laser surgery. I do not believe Champion Forest vet knows a lot nor has the best equipment. Almost $3,000 into this and my dog is still not better. Did they care about the dog still sick or the financial burden! No sold me some more prednisone, which the woodlands vet had me ween her off because she was on during ear drains and surgery.
