Debonair and Dazzle came into our care separately Debonair and Dazzle came into our care separately as tiny babies, sickly and frightened. They were nursed back to health, and became best friends. When this family came to meet and adopt Dazzle at @kahootschinohills, they couldn't stand the thought of leaving her "brother" behind, so they adopted them both! Congratulations, everyone! #fosterarmy #kitten #kittensofinstagram #happybeginning #adopted

Used to love this place before it moved location however the new young lady employee is rude who starts saying negative remarks about the customers as they walk out the door simply for asking about the $5.99 on all adult clothing? Last $70 I spend there.

One of my favorite thrift stores. I get great deals on yarn, fabric, craft supplies and tennis balls for my dogs. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. After being a shopper for many years, I started fostering and have adopted a hamster and two cats. An all around great organization for a fantastic cause.

The place had a little bit of everything and the customers and the staff were very pleasant to be around. Very informative on pet care .It was very reasonable in the prices. I did like that they had a craft corner that actually had things that I would and could use. I would love to shop there again when I go back to riverside.
