    We found a turtle with a cracked shell. We called Walden's Puddle and they told us to bring it in the very next day. This place is beautiful. The staff are very friendly. They told us that after they keep an eye on him for a few days they can release him for us within a mile of where we found him. We left him there feeling happy and relieved, knowing that he will be very well taken care of. They accept donations but never ask for them. This place is awesome. We gave a donation and we will do it again. You can definitely feel confident bringing animals here. Please donate also because it really does go to a great cause!

    This is the cutest and sweetest place! When my cat brought a very VERY young baby mouse to our door, I knew I couldn't take care of it long term. I did some research on wildlife centers nearby, and I called Walden's Puddle to schedule an appointment to drop the mouse by. I did the best I could for the night, then brought him to Walden's Puddle the next day. Everyone was so excited to see the little mouse, and I feel very confident that he is in very good hands. I don't know if he'll be able to be released back into the wild since he will probably need to be raised completely by people, but no matter what the little guy needs I know WP will provide for him! :)

    Called for an injured bird. They are the only rehabilitators for 45 miles. They never even returned the phone call. That was a week ago.

    I'm referring everyone I can think of to keep OFSDS.org in your thoughts, whether it's donating to…read morehelp care for the hundreds of senior dogs they watch over, buying their merch and becoming a Geezer Guardian which gives a precious senior canine citizen top quality of life for the remainder of their years. Even when a senior dog is in a foster home, Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary is paying for Vet care, grooming and food so the Guardian need only provide the Geezers love and a safe home for the rest of their lives. The Sanctuary is totally dependent on donations to keep their magnificent Sanctuary operating!!! OFSDS.org spread the love!!!

    When I hit that senior age, I'd be happy to spend my days here. It's so warm and loving, plus…read moreendless belly rubs! I was lucky enough to get a tour OFSDS and this place is unlike any dog shelter I've ever seen, It's truly a sanctuary. They only cater to senior pups that we're either turned in, found, or the owner is no longer capable of caring for the dog. Every room here has a purpose; there areas for dogs who are missing limbs, blind or going blind, large outdoor areas for bigger pups, and even an indoor sensory area for dogs who are sensitive to bright lights and loud sounds. In this same sensory section is a water tank with a treadmill inside to help overweight pups get lean. They also have a huge restaurant sized kitchen, where they prepare and create food for dogs with dietary issues. I could go on forever about Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary, but you really should just experience it for yourself. They are always looks for dog loving volunteers!

    When I adopted my dog May this past March I knew I had my work cut out for me. She was a feral…read morecountry dog who didn't know how to walk on a leash or sit. I bought a personal training package from Instinct and the trainer came to my home to train my dog and me. It was such a good decision. Both May and I really liked working with the trainer Lauren S. Her approach and tone were awesome. I knew from the first appointment with her that it was going to be great. I'd been trying to figure out how to get May to sit for weeks. Lauren got her sitting in a session. All in all I think we had 9 sessions with Lauren. In that time we learned a lot and have been applying it. My relationship with my dog is so much better because of Instinct. The thing I will caution people against is having unrealistic expectations of your dog and the trainer. If you go in with the desire to make your dog a unquestioningly obedient robot then you will be disappointed. Just focus on the over all quality and happiness of your dog's life

    We are so glad we called Instinct! We had a bad experience with a previous trainer, but the second…read moreAyelet got on the phone with us we knew we were in good hands. We were even sent an hour long questionnaire about our dog's history/health/behavior/etc. prior to training. Y'all...they care so much! We have a 1 year old rescue pup who's dog reactive, and we've been pretty much unable to take him on walks or near other dogs at all. Jenna helped us overcome all of this and we could not be more grateful. She coached us on how to slowly warm him up to lots of different scenarios- we even had a playdate with another dog today with no issues! His reactivity will be something we'll continue to work on for months, but I can't tell you how relieved we are to have gained some confidence with it. Jenna really helped put things into perspective and helped us understand how to read our dog and take things at his pace. You really can't rush progress like this, and I love that Instinct doesn't promise "quick, fast, easy results" because those are not effective or even possible. We would absolutely do this again if given the chance, booking with Instinct was a game changer.
