“Camp Trickling Falls is a really good place and my daughter loves it. We did the family night and she was so excited to show us all the activities she’s doing and the friends she’s made since attending. The counselors were very friendly and my daughter likes them all. She’s very happy everyday to go and even more happy when she wakes up to return. This is a very nice place for children and I would recommend the camp and YMCA to everyone.”
“Nice place for if you want to see horses and they also have therapeutic horse-riding sessions to but usually there is a horse outside if you like if you have kids that like to see horses”

I returned with a friend on a Saturday and was absolutely impressed by the quality and selection available in the store. Not to mention the friendly and helpful staff. If you haven’t visited the Uncommon Good store, add it to your list!”
“We adopted our boy Cosmo (little white boy) as a companion for our older girl from BNR almost a year ago now, everything worked out amazingly in the end, he's become a beloved part of our family, and could never be removed.However, some important things to note about our experience:The 'cons' were:We were told he was a chihauhau mix with a 'chance of pit' everything at BNR said he was most likely chihuahua (ignoring the fact he was 6 lbs and underweight at 9 weeks lol). When I adopted him, his paperwork from Texas listed him as a Labrador mix, which was never mentioned, and was told he'd probably be max 35 lbs. (He's also technically not the puppy I applied for, same litter but different dog, not the end of the world, but something that stands out). I did a DNA test a couple months after adopting him, and he's definitely more Labrador than chihauhau, though only 50 lbs, so fortunately he stayed within our preferred sizeI was told all dogs were medicially checked over as they arrived in Massachusetts, he arrived the day before I was told I could pick him up. Upon picking him up, within our carride home, he was already exhibiting signs of respiratory distress, which within a week turned into severe pneumonia, however, the same pneumonia was also overlooked by our own vets, so I don't know how much I can fully fault the rescue for this. If anything this is a good reminder that if something doesn't seem right, it probably isn't and to get a second opinion (or a better vet)The pros of this shelter are:They are more than willing to work with you, as previously mentioned he was adopted to accompany his older sister. However, we are two hours from the rescue, and she has high stress around Strange humans, especially in strange environments. We ended up working out a way in which we could introduce the two safely at home, to save her unnecessary anxiety and a long car trip. They also do frequent check ins for the first few months, offer resources for ethical trainers, help target problems in early training, ect. Everyone you work with is extremely kind, and you can tell they care deeply for every dog.If you live closer to the rescue than we do, they also offer vouchers for free training courses and some veterinary care. To my knowledge some of the veterinary care is considered common practice in rescues, but I'm relatively certain most shelters don't offer free positive reinforcement training.They are extremely thorough, while it's a very nerve wracking process, the adoption process includes a guided tour around the house your new bud will live in, either in person or sent via videos, like in our case. This includes their main sleeping space, your yard, aby part of your house they'll have access to ect. They also make sure to talk with all household members regarding their interest in the new family member, this is also when they mentioned he may have pitbull in him (which may have been a good opportunity to say the Texas rescue they work with had him listed as a Labrador?)Overall, we love Cosmo, are so glad he's in our lives but his adoption definitely came with unnecessary surprises that absolutely should've been disclosed, especially with how thorough the adoption process was. However, BNR brought us a perfect fit for our family, no matter how he got here, and we are extremely grateful to them.The TLDR:-Was Misled about what kind of dog he was, despite having two conflicting answers on his paper work from Mass vs Texas-He had early signs of respiratory illness from pickup that turned to pneumonia within a week or two-They will work with your situation, as long as they believe you can provide a good home-A positive reinforcement shelter, offers training and training support-Extremely thorough adoption process and kind individuals”

“I wasn't sure if it was open when I called and if I would make it in time before they close. The gentleman on the phone was very friendly and helpful. He gave me other locations that were open later in the day because I wouldn't make it in time. I had to walk to the facility which was across town for me.”
“I like the variety of group classes you can take. The "Wet and Wild" water exercise class and "Ab, Butt, and Core" are my favorites. There's a large selection of equipment if you want to just work out by yourself. Sue at the front desk is always friendly as well.”
“This is a very large thrift shop with a LOT of clothing. Not much housewares but if you are into thrifting clothing this is the place. 2 floors. Enterence is hard to find along the side of the building (there also is a small lot) or park on the street and feed the meter $1 per hour.Prices are very good and they have weekly color tag discounts (ex 50% off on yellow, blue tags )No furniture.”
“This is a super place for working out. No attitude just friendly co work-out people. The teenagers don't have a problem with older people and they actually say hello to them. Just a great atmosphere.”
“They teach a babysitting class for tweens here. It's a great class and the staff is very welcoming.
There isn't much parking outside, but people often use the no parking zone if it's for a short period.”
“I used to go there when I was little I'm 15 now I used to be there when he pool was open if it still it was very fun I had my first kiss there in the gym inside the curtain ?”
