Reviews
Very concerned parent
2016-07-29 06:46:48
★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
I was considering sending my baby here so I made a pop up visit one day. When I walked in I was greeted by the STRONG smell of old feces, also it was a hot day (95 degrees) and there was no AC. Just a ceiling fan that was on low, it was honestly hotter inside than outside. While waiting to be greeted I witnessed one staffer being extremely rude to a child. The others were either talking amongst themselves or playing on their phones, while the children sat at tables doing nothing. If these people were comfortable speaking to a child like that, and not engaging the children in front of a potential parent, God only knows what goes on when no parents are around. I asked to speak with the owner, and the staff said they didn't know where she was. I gave the place 1 star because I had to. I would not send stray dog to this place, let alone my child.
