If there was an option for zero stars I would have given that. I found a stray puppy in my neighborhood this morning, and after combing my neighborhood looking for an owner that wasn't out looking for their lost dog, a friend (client of Dickson) suggested that I take the dog there to see if it was chipped. My friend also said that if there was no chip, she would pick up the dog later in the day and look for the owner, or keep it herself. This is one of Dickson's LONG time clients. She has been taking her dogs there for over 12 years. I took the dog, they looked for a chip, but there wasn't one. I asked them if they could hold onto the dog until their client came to get her. All I got in response was, "we can't take stray dogs" repeatedly as if the woman was a parrot. I again explained that I was on my way to work, about to be fired for being so late, and that THEIR client was coming to get the dog. If they had any questions to contact THEIR client. Again, here come the parrot statements, "we can't take a stray dog" I do understand that a Vet cannot take in every stray dog that comes along, however, this dog was being picked up same day by THEIR client. They said I could call animal control. I asked if they could call, since I was already an hour late for work. They said NO. They gave me some wonderful advice (sarcasm) drive around to other vets and see if one of them would take the dog. Again....my job, work, late, fired. This was not an option. This establishment is NOT interested in helping animals, only MONEY. Although had they called my friend as suggested, she would have told them to vaccinate the dog, before she came to pick it up. But, they just couldn't be bothered to do ANYTHING to help me or this sweet dog out. Shame on them. I recently had to have my dog of 14 years put down, but when I get another dog, I will NEVER take it to this vet. Nor would I recommend this place to anyone else. Read Less
