We adopted Zeus(Rocco) this last Tuesday, a beautiful pit/lab that is a year old, with a ton of energy. He has been the perfect addition to our family. He is bonding well with our other rescues, our dog Daisy and our cat Boris. Read Less

My experience at sunny skies was terrific. The workers were kind and you could tell they cared about the animals. I was interested in meeting Smudge (now Finn) after finding him on pet finder. He was sweet as could be and I was thankful to get approved within a matter of days to adopt him. The process hit some bumps when the staff noticed that Finn had a rash. They automatically called me to inform me of their concerns. Rather than sending Finn home and letting me be concerned, the staff at sunny skies figured out what was wrong and started Finn on medication before safely sending him home. They consistently checked in with me throughout the process. So thankful for everything they did to help me bring Finn homeRead Less

my parents went down to sunny skies and found a little girl dog they're that they love so much they were the first people to put in adoption papers for her and they were they were told that they would most likely get her my mother fell in love with her and then they took him several other adoption papers and gave her to somebody else my mother is heartbroken and therefore I am heartbroken I am angry and I think that the adoption process should be a first-come-first-serve if the family is acceptable and I know my parents would have been acceptable and would have loved Harvest so much Read Less

We adopted Pumpkin Cheesecake now known as Gemma from Sunny Sky's, the whole process was great we adopted her at 6 weeks old so we had 2 weeks to wait for her to come home, but they let us come in and visit Gemma while we waited. The process of adoption can be lengthy but its also great knowing they are choosing a proper home for the animals, which is most imlortant. We love our girl so much thank you sunny skys for helping us complete our family! Read Less

We had a great experience adopting our pup (Jake) from Sunny Sky's! I recommend reading their website in order to prepare before you visit. There is a long application that is much easier to fill out ahead of time and bring with you. I thought the place was clean, we didn't wait too long for a volunteer to introduce us to Jake, and everyone was very helpful. We didn't wait too long before we were able to take him home. Glad for the important work this shelter does! Thank you! Read Less

I was also thinking of donating and possibly volunteering here but the responses to any reviewer with a negative experience led me to change my mind. A better business practice would be to simply validate the customers concerns apologize for any negative expiences and try to rectify if possible. This would do your organization a great service. I've never been here but feel bad that animals that could find loving homes are missing out. Even perspective volunteers and donars could change their minds based on the responses I've read.

We had a very good experience working with Sunny Sky's and just love our little Auri (formerly Pickle)! The staff and volunteers were very helpful and knowledgeable and have been great about answering all our questions. The application was very in depth, but I can see how it helps with placing pets into the best homes. The adoption process was quick and we would definitely adopt here in the future. Read Less

We adopted Thumbelina now Lucia Rose in February after the sudden loss of a beloved pet. The application is long, but easy to understand and get through. I understood the reason behind every question. We saw Thumbelina's picture on line and fell love with her. We filled out the application and was approved. This was a Tuesday we couldn't get there till Saturday. We asked them to hold her they said it was against policy. We prayed that she would be there. I called Friday night and she was. She weighed 1lb 7oz and 9 weeks old when we brought her home. She is 10 months now and weights 4lbs 5oz. The staff was very nice and helpful. They made the process easy pleasant. We would definitely adopt from them again.Read Less

We were in need of a new family member to train to help me with Anxiety in the public. We visited initially to see one Dog of interest but soon found Dash appealing. We put in a application and over a week later were approved, we found out his past life from what they knew and met up with him one on one to test for any bad behavioral problems, he was seemingly there under bad circumstances not because of his actions. We thought we found our guy in Dash and took him home another week later. We brought him home and he was good with our 1 year old daughter but he was a run away! It doesn't matter what we did to keep him in he just found a way out and he got out to hurt other dogs. He attacked 4 dogs while in our care for a week. He could have killed 2 of the smaller ones. He chased cats for fun also. It didn't matter calling him he might as well been deaf!!! He tuned us out to pursue a fight!!! We took him with us on the last night we had him to a restaurant to pick up food and the second we opened our car doors to get out he hopped over 2 rows of seats over our laps and out our doors, 1 hour later we found him attacking another dog. It was the next day we turned him in before he hurt some one or a pet. Dash is unlike any dog I'll ever own again, needless to say as a dog lover, he could ruin anyone's opinions on a dog as a security blanket. He was not our style of best friend, we trained a dachshund to walk off leash and never did that dog attack another pet. Dash is to NEVER be off leash, with another dog or a cat in my opinion !!!!! but If your interested in him look into Whippet's before adopting! Know what you're in for! ( Returned For Aggression towards other pets. )Read Less

We adopted Romeo, now Harley, from Sunny Sky's and we love him! The process was easy, done in a timely manner, everyone was super friendly, and we were very pleased with how everything went. The application was long and very detailed, you can tell they put a lot of time and effort into finding each animal a forever home. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a rescue. Thank you to everyone there, we are very happy Harley is adjusting well :) Read Less

Love them !!! They took such good care of my Scotty and Annie.. Scotty boy lived to be 17.5 years old, and I would never go anywhere else. Dr Berton even took Scotty home to her house over the weekend when he was just a few years old and saved him from some terrible allergic reaction he had from something still unknown. They are also very caring when it comes to that last good bye. Thank you !! Read Less

We've been taking our dogs to Dr. Burton for about the last 8 years or so. She and her staff are wonderful! We've gone thru seizures and allergies with our Weimaraner and everyone there is always so kind, and patient and knowledgeable. You can tell they all really love animals. Read Less

My experience here has only been with treating my cats and dogs with the veterinarian services and I am very pleased with the professional and courteous treatment.  Dr. Berton and her staff are knowledgeable and compassionate.  Six years ago my older dog needed to be put down and they had me come in at the end of the day where the Dr. and her staff quietly sat on a blanketed floor around my dog and let me stay until I was ready to leave.Dr. Berton is also a remarkable surgeon.  Her diagnosis was spot on.  With two of my pets that had difficult surgeries never a complication.  The attention that Dr. Berton gives each animal is outstanding.  I always feel confident that when I bring my pets here they get the best care.

For Sunny Sky's Animal Rescue:Went here for a supposed dog adoption. Went here with an excited heart, completed paperwork, entire family (2 big eyed kids who are excited to take home their Christmas surprise gift) and a hopeful husband with a fat wallet for our chosen pet.  They made us ogle and hold this beauty. The volunteer even checked our printed paperwork and spoke to us althroughout. At this point, our outlook is positive.  The volunteer was upbeat. My hopes kinda got dashed when the volunteer said we can take her home once she's cleared medically. After endless admiration of all the pets, we were ushered to the lobby to await their decision.  Thirty minutes later, we were told to wait for their phone calls that night or the next day... or few days later. There was no phone call and there was no mention to possibly adopt another dog as this place is really full to the brim of rescued pups. The sad thing is it seems this process is normal to adopt a dog.  I guess we just fell right in the crack of red tape.  We applied to so many rescue organizations but no one wants us to adopt a dog.  We live in a big house, I'm a stay at home mom and we have the resources to keep a dog.  I guess that wasn't enough.  Our last option to get a dog is through a breeder.  So much for trying to do good here.For those of you who think we need to show extreme interest to adopt a pup, we don't have the luxury to court the volunteers to let us adopt one.

I am writing a review about the rescue portion of the facility. First off, the facility is just filthy. The kennels are all filled with pee and they take in too many dogs that they are unable to properly care for. They aren't rescuing dogs if they are just sitting in a small kennel in their own filth. This place needs to be reported to the city. I'm not sure who would even trust their animals to be take care of by the vet services here, maybe they haven't seen the back of the facility.Before you adopt here make sure to read all their rules. I find the rules just ridiculous. They keep the microchip in their name so you cannot rehome the dog in the future if there is a problem. You cannot transfer the dog to another family member either. If the dog runs away and is found, you have to answer to their facility about why the dog ran away and they may not return the dog. It is your dog!!! They aren't rescuing animals here, rescuing animals is about finding them a good home and trusting the owner to take care of the animal. About giving the dog a chance. They seem to just be more worried about hoarding dogs in their facility. It's just sad, these animals deserve a good chance and this facility truly isn't giving it to them. Read Less

My wife and I adopted 2 wonderful puppies from Sunny Sky in February. 2 days after being home with them they both presented symptoms of kennel cough. Without getting into to many details, 1 month later one of our puppies died from pneumonia, and our other is still dealing with kennel cough. I am more then understandable of the fact that animals do die prematurely sometimes. Although the response from the shelter was just unbelievable. Not a hint of empathy, no words that remotely resembled an apology, and multiple calls that were not returned and questions that went unanswered. We were informed from the staff that our puppy would recover, we were massively misinformed. The shelter is terribly unkept, the receptionist is particularly rude and unprofessional (I won't say her name). I have been in contact with the City of Puyallup about scheduling an inspection as well as a story for the news tribune. I can not describe by disdain for my experience with this animal hospital. My sorrows go with the animals that are still there. Read Less

Love it here! These people love the animals that come in here and take great care of them! They knew every single dog by heart where as other shelters when you asked about a dog most of the time they didn't know which one and you had to show them. I did a lot of research before coming here and it was worth it! If I was able to adopt more dogs here I would, we love our garbanzo and are so grateful to have him in our lives. I keep up on every dog now that comes through here so in the future if we are able I will know which one to bring homeRead Less

I would highly recommend adopting from Sunny Sky Rescue.  I adopted a 5-year-old maltese mix from Sunny Sky Rescue in July 2013 and I'm very pleased with the friendliness of the volunteers and coordination with vet and vet staff.  The dog I adopted was posted after midnight on Saturday early, early morning the day that he arrived from California.   The picture on the website was not a flattering photo but I'm impressed with their commitment to get their dogs adopted as soon as possible.  I arrived promptly at noon on that Saturday and fell in love with the scared, shaking maltese mix.  He was fixed on Tuesday and I was able to pick him on that evening with a volunteer who stayed late.  The microchip him under the shelter so that you and the shelter are technically co-owners.So the next day, my new dog, Toby, decided to eat his stitches.  The vet staff was willing to see him instantly to make sure he was okay.  After examining Toby, Jessica explained that there were internal stitches were intact so Toby would be okay.  She also coned him -- which isn't easy cause dogs don't like that...With the information packet I was able to deduct that my dog had kennel cough (common for shelter dogs, and appears weeks after exposure).  I attempted to take him to a nearby vet but due to the contagious nature of the infection I was turned away and told to come back later at a scheduled appointment.  I desperately called East Main Animal Hospital and the vet staff called me back to coordinate what antibiotic to give my dog according to his symptoms and weight.I'm a pharmacist by profession so TWICE I was very impressed with the vet staff's willingness and commitment to the health of their rescue dogs.Since adopting Toby, I've learned that Sunny Sky is a no-kill, non-profit shelter.  They rescue a lot of dogs from California.  (And isn't it cool that a vet opened up an animal shelter?)  I also liked them on facebook and they post the picture of the dogs that got adopted.  It sure gives you warm, fuzzy feelings to see a rescue dog get adopted.  :)So if you can't adopt, support Sunny Sky Rescue!P.S.  Like I said, Toby's 1st day photo is not as flattering as he turned out to be.  After he filled out a bit and got daily grooming with a comb, he's a beautiful maltese mix.  So don't judge a picture!

We have been there several times to get our puppy vaccinated and then spayed. I will continue to go there. Staff is very patient and knowledgeable. They call you back when they say they will, it is easy to get an appointment and they are not over priced.Read Less

We adopted our dog Mitch (Rat Terrier/Chihuahua) from there. He is the best dog "ever" owned. The people there were so nice that when we got another dog we've taken him there as well. It is a small place, and a bit of a drive from Ft. Lewis. But they are very friendly and you can get appointments right away. The prices are good, and they take their time with you. They answer all your questions, and you never feel rushed.Read Less

Illlina Berton, DVM, didn't just save the life of our beloved orange tabby- though that would have been enough - she, and the entire, incredible staff of the East Main Animal Hospital worked to ease our cat's intense pain (after having been attacked by dogs, our cats internal organs were hanging from his abdomen upon arrival), while also easing some of the financial burden on our family. They went above and beyond; at every turn showing their true animal-loving colors. It was the sort of thing that restores one's faith in humanity. One month later, our cat, Floyd, who was on death's door, is alive and well. Illlina Berton is a skilled surgeon, and EMAH is staffed by certified saints!Read Less
