We got our wonderful dog ladybird (they called her Velvet) at Pee Wee's more than 2 years ago. We didn't have any problems adopting her. They didn't charge us anything because she is an older dog. Yes, they do ask a lot of questions. Most of the animals there were not taken care of properly in the first place. I think they do a very good job of taking care of the animals. The have shelter, food, medical care and room to run around. They are treated kindly. They operate on donations and volunteers alone.
Why not help out instead of complaining. The Humane Society has Denny Bales' support. Why not help Pee Wee's out?

At first, I thought that I was the only one to have problems with the place, but then I found this site. So, here's my story. I am a recently relocated military pilot. My wife and I had purchased a home and were in the market for a new pet as well. Both of us are experienced dog owners, however neither of us owned a pet at the time. We went to the pet store that Pee Wee's works out of on Sundays and began browsing for a puppy. We did this for several weeks because we couldn't find just the right dog. It actually became sort of an informal Sunday after-church tradition for us. Finally one Sunday we found a perfect dog. He was handsome, the right size for our yard, and he was the only dog there that was not only alert but quiet as well. I told the elderly gentle man working there that we were interested and asked if he could hold him for an hour while I went home to get my checkbook. He agreed and I was back in half an hour to find an empty cage. As I approached the gentleman to ask him where the dog had gone a younger girl jumped in my path and asked if she could help me. I got the feeling that she didn't want me to speak to him. I asked her about the dog and she said that it had been adopted. I explained that what the man had agreed to and she told me that it was their policy not to hold animals. I told her that I understood, but I had been told otherwise and that it was not good practice to make promises to people that you had no intention of honoring. She then said, and I quote, Well, he's just a volunteer, he doesn't know. I was dumbfounded. Was this was the best cover up to his mistake that they could conjure up or were they so negligent in the training of their volunteers that this oversight had slipped through the cracks? Either way, the conversation was over because the lady was clearly uncomfortable with me and any further question I had and bid me good day.

We went into PetCo's to see the cats Pee Wee's had available. It was perfect, we found two beautiful kittens, which was exactly what we were looking for. After filling out an extended application, we were later scrutinized by the owner. She looked into our past care of our pet over at Banfield Hospital. I was actually quite confident because our cat was very well taken care of. We took our cat in several times in the time we had him. We NEVER NEGLECTED HIM!

Well, the owner contacted Banfield herself where they told her that we hadn't taken our cat in for ONE rabies shot in 2007 WHICH WAS NEWS TO ME!! THEREFORE WE WERE REJECTED DUE SOLELY FOR THIS REASON!

I had read these previous reviews on this woman, but it didn't really phase me because I didn't want to believe someone could actually be this cold. Well, it's true!

We were informed that the owner's husband said, It was harder to adopt a cat than it is a kid (with this lady) Even though she doesn't have kids. Thank God, we didn't have our daughter with us because she would have been so heartbroken. My wife and I were very upset ourselves, which is why I'm writing this message to you (the reader). Do not go to this adoption center if you actually expect to adopt a pet. Probably won't happen. Staff also told us these pets are like her children, which I guess explains why she never adopts them out.


SHAME ON YOU! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN YOUR PLACE GETS SHUT DOWN!! IT WILL HAPPEN.

I had a great experience with Pee Wees! I adopted both my babies from them. Bailey was the first one. they did ask us a lot of questions and expected us to know what we were talking about. I found it a little intimidating at first. I know why they are hard, they care about these animals and want to make sure they are going to their forever homes. They are very strict if you have children, we did not so we didn't have to worry about that. But they did make it clear about small dogs and kids, I totally understand. Everything went great with Bailey. We did take Bailey to the vet and he was a little sick, but a little antibiotics and he was fine. It would be hard to have all the animals 100% perfect, and if you are not capable of paying a vet bill, don't adopt a pet from anywhere! Zoey we adopted a while later. The lady at Pee Wees did not want to part with Zoey, I almost did not get her. The lady was very concerned because Zoey only weighed about 2-3 pounds, she was tiny, she still is very small. But after much talking she let us adopt her. It was all a very positive experience. They do the best they can at Pee Wees, it is not like they have a ton of money or a lot of people working there. If I was still living in Corpus and I wanted to adopt again, I would go there first!

First of all there was a dead dog on the road right in front of the place that was hit by a car. Not a very good job keeping the dogs contained. The lady running the place yelled at my 6 yr old daughter and made her feel like crap for wanting to love a new dog. She got in her face and mine and belittled us. The place is in shambles and the lady is a hoarder. Someone needs to get in there and take pics and report them to PETA. Atrocious awful place, can't believe this happens in America.
