If I could give zero stars if I could. This shelter needs to be shut down in my opinion. It's…read morefilthy inside and the animals are not taken care of. My best friend had to put her beloved dog down awhile ago and was ready to get a new fur baby. She drove to Fort Benton, found an adorable Beethoven looking pup. The lady told her that she could not pay to put a deposit down on the pup but agreed they would be ready for their forever homes yesterday. These puppies are big and ready for homes but the lady told my best friend that the mother had smothered that pup. There is NO WAY in hell that pup was smothered....so, my best friend decides to get a different pup out of the litter and has her family friend call to go pick it up. The lady states she has to leave and no one can be there to get a dog??? This is beyond bad business. My best friend bought a beautiful home last year with a big yard and has two boys that want to find their Fur-ever best friend. Thanks for breaking a families heart and for not allowing a pup a chance at an amazing life!!! DO NOT GET YOUR PETS from this shelter

Really just an all around terrible job of grooming our family Doodle, Lucy…read more She was not clean, Ears Dirty, Nails not clipped, Uneven all over and totally skinned in other areas...They offered to redo her to "make it right"...ummmm no way...Really wanted to like this place, as it's convenient to my daughter's work... On the left is Lucy the day she was groomed by Mother Puppers, on the right is Lucy after having her redone by the groomer we use to use, who, by the way had almost nothing to work with... Sorry Mother Puppers... But seriously, you need a new groomer...Lucy had not a single mat! There is really no excuse for such shoddy work...She wasn't even bathed.

I honestly hesitated to write this review, especially after seeing so much positive feedback from…read moreothers which is why I waited almost a month to share my experience. I boarded my dog here for five days and called to check on him multiple times (3-4 times). Each time, I was told he was doing well aside from a small bout of diarrhea one day. However, when I picked him up, there were several concerning issues that I believe should have been communicated to me earlier. His elbows and knees were rubbed raw almost like road rash. Even a week or two later, the scabs were still healing. I'm not sure what could have caused this other than being kept on concrete, which I specifically asked about. I was told that beds would be provided. (photo included was taken a week and a half after return) More concerning, when I brought him home, he had blood coming from his mouth enough that it got on my arm when I touched him. Again, nothing about this was ever mentioned in any of the calls or while I talked to her when I picked him up. While there are things I liked about this facility--the website is well done, I appreciated the photo they sent during his stay, and I like that the dogs are kept separate for safety I believe there needs to be more attention to the animals' well-being and more transparency when issues arise. The pricing is affordable, which I can understand being a draw for many people, but unfortunately, based on my experience, I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending this place to a friend.
