It doesn't look like much but it was obvious everyone cares for the animals and wants their best. It was clean and smelled of bleach despite being early on a weekend. We were able to spend some time with one dog and decided to adopt her. They didn't have info but shared all they knew, and even several days later were helpful when we called with questions. These dogs and cats are in a much better place and we so appreciated the care they put into even the tougher cases. They also recommended a trainer when we asked who is already helping us greatly!

I insisted that we take her out to play, and although she didn't care about our presence, we fell in love with her! We left with her same day (today) to take her home forever where she immediately turned into a cuddle bug. She follows us everywhere, cuddles, plays, and is very well trained. It is clear she doesn't need any additional training other than socialization. Not only did we notice a clean facility, but they took very good care of our girl! She came home and opened right out of her shell. She had been there for months but acted like she had been with us forever upon arrival home. This shelter has a lot of outdoor space and the faculty was nice, attentive, and clearly cared so much about eachanimal. We met so many sweet dogs and this is a great shelter to adopt from. Most of the dogs are pits, but they have a few that can pass in an apartment. If you own a home, a pit is the way to go! Strawberry is obviously part pit, but we would own 8 pits if we didn't live in an apartment. Adopt don't shop...and do it from here! Update: one year later and Belle (previously named Strawberry) is doing so well! She is the best. She was pretty much fully trained when we got her. We've only taught her to shake, stay until called, and worked on her walking skills on a leash.

My wife and I went to the shelter to look at a pup we saw online. Unfortunately we were about 45…read moreminutes too late. So we decided to look around. Halfway through the 2nd kennel we found a pretty girl just waking up from her nap The place was total chaos with barking dogs. She just sat up and wagged her tail. We had her brought outside and we hung with her for about an hour No pressure from the staff at all. We finally decided that we had stumbled on probably the perfect pup. She's home with us now and I do believe she is very happy. She was surrendered by a homeless person who could not care for her anymore. So we will shower her with love and kisses for as long as she is with us.

Not good at all. People like this should not be in public facing jobs that require interpersonal…read moreskills. I get that the owner must prefer animals-- but since animals aren't going to walk in on their own, human skills are also needed. Those are not skills this owner possesses. Her organizational skills are lacking also. When I spoke to her assistant to schedule the first time, I asked for a fax number to send the boys vaccinations, and after taking the time to do that, this woman had no idea how to access her faxes for some reason, and I had to bother my vet's office again. I took my two teacup Pomeranians here ONE time. One of my poms had a pretty, full coat when he went in, and when he came out, half of it was gone. I specifically asked that he not be trimmed too much. My husband thought we should give the groomer another chance. When I came for a second time, and asked her not to cut it short like last time, she argued with me, swearing she didn't cut it short. Now maybe she defines "short" as shaved to the skin or something, but his hair was so much shorter, that we had to put him in a harness one size smaller. Never had that with another groomer. Not only that, but however she cut his hair, it is not growing back. She basically wrecked his coat, and is trying to blame the dog, saying he has "coat funk" (which our vet says is made up groomer jargon). Rather than blaming the dog, all this woman needed to do was to listen to me when I told her not to cut too much of my dog's hair off. Instead, she had to be right, and had to have the last word. She refused to listen, was rude, and kept repeatedly using this term "coat funk." The final straw was when she said "I didn't give your dog coat funk." No lady, you gave him the crappiest hack job of a hair cut he's ever had, and wrecked his coat. You did that. Not the dog. And I will let everyone know that this is the last place to take a dog you care about. If your dog has any kind of double coat, I advise you to go elsewhere. If you have any special instructions you want implemented, go elsewhere. If you want to be listened to, go elsewhere. You and your dog deserve better.

If you have a pet that needs a new home (whether you have developed an allergy, are being deployed, or maybe just found a stray animal you can't care for), you can contact ReTails and make an appointment to take him or her there for the weekend. While he is there, folks from the mall will stop by and get to know him. Hopefully, he clicks with someone. If not, you will pick him up again on Sunday evening and you can try again the following weekend. Adoption fees are VERY affordable. Cats are $25, kittens are $40. Dogs are $60, puppies $75. There are frequently "specials" in the store, like adopting a second cat for a lower fee or adopting a senior or special-needs animal for a reduced fee. Included in the adoption fee is a blood test for heartworm, feline leukemia, and feline immunodeficiency virus; all necessary vaccines, and spay or neuter surgery. "My" stray cat Rags was adopted here in just one weekend...but he is incredibly sweet. Some animals have been there much longer because it's so scary to be in MALL, in a CAGE, that their personalities don't really shine. The volunteers are hard-working and kind. Spread the word. Check this place out. They are always looking for volunteers.

Unfortunately, over the years, the level of service has declined. I can't be sure, but I don't think they still house community cats or cats that are available for adoption. The basic exam that they do couldn't take longer than 30 seconds because all 3 of our cats were in and out in less than 5 minutes. They all received vaccines and had the brief exam done within that timeframe. The checking out process took much longer. Following COVID and the protocols that changed, I just don't feel like things ever got "back to normal." I understand that this is an animal care facility, but it was truly disgusting and especially rank the day that we went in there. I would hope that someone mops daily, but the floor looked like it had definitely not been cleaned in a week. The nature of the business is likely to explain the mess, but some efforts to air the place out a bit would be appreciated. The staff are all really friendly and the cost, though it has gone up steadily over the years, is still the most affordable that I've found. You simply cannot beat a good deal on the necessities.

We dropped her off and then got called shortly after to see if we could come back and be with Nova while they sedate her. They said they would rather have us there to calm her down than to put a muzzle on her which I really appreciated. She's normally anxious around new people and when we went to pick her up she seemed completely okay. I was very nervous as this was her first vet visit (with us at least) and I couldn't be happier. We're going to monitor Nova over the next couple weeks to make sure everything goes smoothly. Other than that, I definitely recommend coming here.
