The Last Resort Animal Rescue and Sanctuary

Picture this....we had 6 dogs coming off a 2 day transport and going into our usual boarding facility...or so we thought! On a Friday night, we called to let our facility know we were coming with our dogs and we were told their policy had changed and they were only allowing a total of 5 rescue dogs (all rescues included) and couldn't take our dogs!!!! We were having a complete meltdown.....at 6 pm on a Friday night, we had absolutely NO WHERE to put 2 puppies, 2 geriatric (one blind) cocker spaniels, an adorable 6 year old border collie, and one gorgeous labrador retriever all saved from death row that were arriving any hour. We called the Clip Shoppe in desperation, never having spoken to them before! SOMEONE WAS CERTAINLY WATCHING OVER US because Sandy, the owner, not only answered the phone, but welcomed our motley, travel weary guests with open arms, and waited for our transport until 11 pm at night! She drove all the way back to her facility to meet us, in the pouring rain we may add. Fortunately she had a special area to quarantine our babies away from her own guests, and set them all  up in beautiful, clean, large kennels, providing them with a loving hand, comfy beds, fresh water, and some outside time to run around and stretch their legs. All of this for a rescue group she had never heard of before. This woman's heart is pure gold! Not only that, but the very next day she had all 6 dogs groomed, nails trimmed, ears cleaned, de-flea'd, smelling and looking beautiful..it was a doggy makeover!! ...and the cockers weren't a quick groom we might add-they were a mess! She also  had  our scared little puppies already coming out of their shell; instead of cowering in the corner they were beginning to run and play together outside, jump in our laps, and overall made the entire group of dogs feel safe and welcome. How can we ever thank someone enough for doing something like this? There really is no way, except to say thank you thank you thank you, from the bottom of our hearts and the tip of our doggies paws, to Sandy, her husband, and her awesome crew at the Clip Shoppe!

We also have to add...that NEVER have we been so impressed with a facility such as this...it was so dog/cat friendly, and clean, and smelled so good you would never know dogs were housed there, every inch was organized and all about the animals and their safety and comfort. From now on, we finally have somewhere to send all of our adopters when their doggies need a grooming or need to put their precious babies in boarding for awhile with out any need to worry about their well being. Every dog there is clearly well cared for and loved on.....From people who would not ever think about boarding their dogs...we would board them there in a heartbeat!!!

SANDY YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!
