I live in La Habra and I flew to Virginia for a wedding, just a short weekend trip. This week I rescued a tiny kitten who was stuck inside our outdoor bbq grill. She hadn’t had her shots yet & I knew boarding would be tough with that situation. This vet said they would board her with no problem. Relieved, I made a reservation to also board my 11 year old shih tzu named Dazy so they would be at the same place. I dropped them both off on 11/9/17 & I received a call from the vet... on 11/10 to tell me they had lost my beloved dog and she had been missing for 2 hours. I immediately called friends in the area to help search for her. I called the vet every hour for an update, the staff was rude and unapologetic for their mistake. My friend drove by the vet to see what progress they had made and instead of searching they were just standing outside. She spoke to them and they showed her where she slipped out of their backyard. They admitted to knowing that their backyard gate was broken and had gaps. Knowing this, they still let her outside unattended. 5 hours later I received the news that she had been hit by a car and had passed. My friend walked around the neighborhood asking people if they had seen her, one kind woman admitted she had seen her get hit by a car at 5pm and moved her to the sidewalk. Now knowing this, the vet did not contact me until 7pm and I have no doubt they knew the situation all along. This happened at La Habra Animal Center & Motel on 741 W La Habra Blvd. They need to be held accountable for what they’ve done. Dazy was more than a pet, she was my best friend and a special part of our family. I have had her since she was a puppy and I am devastated by this loss. For the past 11 years I did everything I could to make sure she had the best life, my biggest regret is trusting this vet and his staff. They reassured me she would be safe during the 3 days I was gone, and they couldn’t do that. My heart is broken and my life will never be the same without her. I need everyone to hear my story so they know not to make the same mistake I did by trusting this vet. No ones pets are safe here, not for an hour, a day, a weekend, or ever. #JUSTICEforDAZY my sweet love dog, you were loved so hard by so many. I miss you dearly and my heart aches for you. I will never forget the joy you brought to my life and I hope I did the same for you. I️ LOVE YOU, Dazy. Rest In Peace, my sweet pup. I’m sorry I️ chose this place. See More Read Less
