This store is great! My daughter has been wanting a puppy for the longest time. We went to see one of last ones they had available and immediately fell in love! The staff were so knowledgeable and kind to us. Benji is now a member of our family!

My daughter got her first bunny here. They were very polite and informative. They were able to answer any questions we had regarding the care of her new bunny.

Faribault Animal Center sources their puppies from puppy mills in Iowa with documented USDA violations and many, many poorly cared for breeding dogs. If you want to roll the dice on a puppy, go ahead, but know that you are propping up an unethical industry.

I went in for the first time and will not be going back. It was absolutely heartbreaking. Their “puppies” in the kennels in the back of the store are not puppies, they are miniature dogs that are improperly bred. They had actually puppies up front and when i asked how old they were, both employees said they didn’t know. EVERYTHING is over priced and it’s just extremely sad to see how they are mislabeling these animals and marketing them as puppies when they are full grown. The two dogs in the back were “purebred miniatures” and they were going for 1.7K!!!! I was recently going to buy a legitimate pure bred golden retriever for less than that. please do not continue shopping here.

adding more to this review because most of these reviews are false and written by employees. idk how to make it more clear. DO NOT go to this store. they get their “puppies” from puppy mills, the employees are all brats, their “puppies” are full grown improperly bred miniature dogs, overpriced materials when you can get literally the same thing at walmart for waaaay cheaper. whole place is a front and a money scheme. idk how they are still in business. TO THE OWNERS: do better and stop abusing these animals. do better and stop overcharging your pet supplies. figure out how to run a business the correct way without exploiting others and these animals. it’s embarrassing. good luck trying to get rid of my review because i will keep coming back to spread the truth.

The Animal Center always has what I need for all of my various pets! We got our puppy from there too and she's the best! Very helpful staff, non-smelly store 🙂

Very disappointed they wouldn't let us play with or even hold the puppies 😭. But they have a parrot named Sweetie Pie she talks and is very cute 🥰

My wife was really interested in having a shih-tzu puppy. After searching around and checking out several breeders, she saw one in a litter here back in December that she fell in love with! Did some further research on their puppies and then decided to go for it! George has been amazing! But, 5 months later, George needed a friend... So, along came Walter! Again, absolutely love our decision to expand our family through the Faribault Animal Center?
They are both amazing dogs, who are perfectly healthy, and have a wonderful demeanor for this breed! Now will someone please tell her to stop expanding our family! LOL

Very friendly staff! I brought my extremely shy, timid rescue cat here to be groomed yesterday. I was nervous, as she has never been groomed or handled by someone else. The groomer (Jan) was so nice. Seemed very patient and understood why I was a little nervous for my cat. And she didn't tell me to never bring her back, so I think my cat must have behaved for the most part 🙂 Very reasonably priced too!
