You won't find a nicer, more animal oriented and very knowledgeable business woman in the area. Lori has always been animals first, people second. From gold fish to beautiful exotic birds, they are all her top priority and within a few minutes of speaking with her, you can see it. Her prices are hard to beat and she is always more than fair.Always support your local small businesses. They are a cornerstone of America.

My boyfriend and I had such an amazing experience here! Just passing through town and decided to stop. I was impressed with the plethora of information the owner had on each animal. This isn’t your average pet store, this is so much more personal. Such a good spot if you have kids too! Highly highly suggest :)

I think the hearts in the right place. Emotionally the animals are cared about. I do think there comes a time to step back and focus on the animals rather than keep adding. Constructive criticism not an attack. Use other small pets stores, groups, and rescues to further educate on animals too. I think the kids Saturdays are fantastic and help people to learn. There's always ways to do better!

Fun and friendly place! Lots of cool animals and reptiles to see. My son loved holding and touching the snake and talking to the parrots!! They also enjoy coming on Saturdays !

Such a great thing for a small town to have! The owner is super sweet and cares about all the animals. The store is clean! Highly recommend making a stop if you haven’t.

This place is absolutely disgusting. I’m visiting family from out of town and wanted to check it out. Animals are in small cages, missing limbs, dead, and absolutely filthy. How has this insult of a pet store not been shut down yet?

Love this store. Lori is very knowledgeable and helpful. The remodel is fantastic. Buy feeders from here on a regular. If they don't get ate the become pets. Pet mouse has been with me for 8 months, got ferrets from here also.

Every animal was in a cage way too small for it, many small animals had scratches and sores and were in crowded cages. Babies were mixed in with adults. An African grey parrot I saw was pulling out its own feathers (probably due to stress). A rat I saw was breathing very hard and was struggling to get up off the floor of its crowded tank. Flies were everywhere. Every bowl of water is brown and dirty. Don't support this place, the animal abuse is obvious as can be. This is disgusting and cruel.

Owner is friendly and knowledgeable of the animals in the store. Birds are hand raised, and well cared for, definitely recommend

Horrific. Every reptile here is in an enclosure wildly too small. Full-grown adult bearded dragons and corn snakes in 10 maybe 20 gallon enclosures. And you’re worried about making this a social space for children?? Do you even have the right permits??

This place is disgusting. Animals are mistreated and put in enclosures way to small for them, half the time the enclosures go uncleaned for entirely way to long. And ive never seen the owner do anything for any animal there.

this is the kind of place you see people rescuing animals from, animals in deathly conditions, I can't believe it hasnt been shut down, animals with missing limbs, horrible injuries, dangerously improper food and caging setups, I know it's hard to cage animals in petshops due to the limited space, but cages that could kill them (like guinea pigs in fish tanks) are unreasonable. I don't have any pictures because I don't want to go back in there, but theres pics posted by other people online anyways

A variety of rabbits, birds, reptiles, spiders, and rodents. Staff was also very friendly and knowledgeable on the inventory of the creatures.

Overall, it was a good place. However, the bird cages were unacceptable. They were way to small it was so sad to see the finches flying into the walls of there cage .Two cages inparticular that pained me to say the least were the cockatiels one completely bald and the other cooped up in the corner of there cage. The other was a single bird the cage was about the size of a small Amazon box. It's so heartbreaking to see this when I go and browse at pet stores.

The store is filthy and smells like a barn. Most of the animals there are stress, sick, injured or a mix of all three. birds are so stressed that most of them are cage aggressive or have plucked or been plucked in someway. nearly all their birds are missing feathers. The will sell sick/injured animals to you for a bargain. This place is sad and should NOT exist. Don't go here, dont support this business it's a revolving door of death for ALL animals you'll be lucky if your animal lives more then a year bc of this stores condition there were animals in the restroom area. Amphibians and reptiles.....on shelves where people can clean their hands. No wonder it's rated 1.5 stars on yelp please avoid this place if you can.
