Re: That pet shop still gets a thumbs up.
Posted by Carrie Ann on 3/17/07

Hi Kelsi,
I went to the pet shop that you recommended and I just had
to tell you that I loved it! The owners name is Alice and
she is just the nicest person. I asked her all kinds of
questions while I was there and she was indeed very
knowledgable and very happy to answer all my questions
without making me feel like I was keeping her from something
else, like they do in so many stores. I found out that she
was a vet tech and can accurately (I know because I too am a
vet tech) answer a lot of questions about dogs and cats,
including nutrition and health questions. She let me bring
in my puppy to size a collar and I was shocked when she got
down on the floor and played with him. It is immediately
obvious that she is an animal lover. I asked about the Macaw
and Cockatoo you spoke about and she told me that she was
only interested in those birds getting into good homes. She
said that she did sell one larger bird once, but will not
sell any more large birds because she cannot be sure that
they will get into appropriate homes. She will assist
someone to rehome a bird if she can. The smaller birds she
gave away were desperately in need of homes. She felt that
they had been 'cagebound' and 'neglected' by the previous
store owner for WAY too long and that they deserved to know
what it was like to have a real home and a loving care taker
that was all their own. Thats why she gave them away once
she nursed them to health and brought them back from the
brink of starvation, which is the condition they were in
(that part I verified with others who had been in the store
when those 'other' people owned it). I really liked the
store, the cleanliness, and especially the warm and loving
way that Alice deals with the animals that are there. I will
never shop anywhere else for pet supplies again. Thanks for
bringing that store to my attention Kelsi. I loved it!
