Possibly one of the best meals we had in London. Came here specifically to see Damien Hirst's art
Fred & Art helped me with an issue I have been having with a propane leak. These guys were thorough and fixed the issue! They are mobile, which is great! Thank you Fred & Art! Extremely professional and friendly.
Highly recommend them. So many of the other RV repair shops I have gone to or tried to go to were either unresponsive, inflate cost and do subpar work. All RV Service are knowledgeable and skilled!
While I appreciate the importance of adopting from shelters, I cannot overlook the issues I witnessed during my visit. I notified a staff member about the filthy kennels who turned around and told me that they do not manage that portion. WTH! It does not take a degree to remove litter filled food and water bowls and tiddy things up. I am giving 3 stars because they are providing a safe place off the streets.
My foremost concern revolves around the shelter's practices. CVAC is a kill shelter, and I was disheartened to learn that they euthanize healthy animals simply because they may not be as social. Furthermore, the lack of attention to cleanliness in the kennels is alarming. I've observed feces smeared and stepped on by dogs, and the placement of food and water bowls next to litter boxes is unacceptable. It seems that staff and volunteers need to prioritize maintaining a sanitary environment for the animals.
Another significant drawback is the absence of infectious disease screening upon intake. This lack of testing puts both adopted animals and their new families at risk. CVAC charges $12 for the SNAP test, which checks for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline leukemia virus (FeLV), and feline heartworm (FHW) and while reasonably inexpensive they do not tell the adopters. While I understand the importance of covering costs, this fee should be included in the adoption process. Do not be alarmed as these can be managed and treated. Some shelters and vets will encourage to use euthanasia which is totally inhumane. FIV cats can live a normal life, while their immune system is weaker they certainly can be managed with nutrition, species appropriate balanced diet, no kibble crap food. FELV cats should only live in a cat household of other FELV positive kitties. Please educate yourselves and be an advocate for these voiceless beings.
I hope CVAC addresses these concerns promptly. Animal welfare should be the top priority for any shelter, and I believe improvements in cleanliness and health protocols are crucial for the well-being of the animals and the satisfaction of potential adopters. I also think they should not keep over medicating cats with meds that they are not responding to. They should get a better health exam and go to the root cause and not use ineffective bandaids.
ALL shelters and rescues should watch this video including any cat owner.

Cats and dogs should have a better diet learn how to make your own cat food treat your fur babies better than you treat yourself and it starts with diet. Do not settle for crap kibble or the wet food sold in stores. Make your own food

Dr. Jones is someone that I appreciate because he knows just how bad the vet industry is and can help pet parents

The only good place to eat in Baker. Authentic Mexican food with vegetarian options. Not sure if the frijoles are made with Manteca. The agua frescas are made in house and favorite was Pepino con chia. Yes eat here, food is good and priced reasonably.
