Michelle set up a meeting with Dagny, where I met Dagny, Mary, and Dagny's foster. It was a match made in heaven.

I am forever grateful. Thank you!

Wow. Where do I begin? I never thought a dog rescue could illicit such a poor taste for humanity…read more These people are absolutely wild. But I digress...adopting a dog is a huge commitment and it requires time, money, and significant thought about the lifestyle changes that such a commitment will make. My sister recently reached out to SSR regarding several dogs after researching extensively and having several chats with the team: she was advised to submit an application, so she did. She reached out to her landlord, references, and local vet to have them on standby because all previous interaction implied the dogs were available and in desperate need of homes. Ironically, 10 days later: no response from the rescue. After following up a 2nd time, we received a very short and dismissive email summarized as saying "sorry dogs aren't available. Best of luck in your search". Since the tone of the entire email was so cold and rude and unlike any previous experience we had with the rescue, we followed up saying in the nicest way possible, that it would have been nice to be looped in sooner and while we understand that they're busy and that the dogs may have happily been adopted, it would have been nice to be informed in a timely fashion so that we could plan accordingly. Apparently, that struck a nerve with SSR (unsure who since no one signs their names). What proceeded was was a series of the most unprofessional and disgusting emails I have ever seen from an organization claiming to do good for the world. It is ironic that they have had time to send multiple hateful, ridiculing, and childish emails when feeling accused of poor business practice and rude tones, but could not even reply to an application in a timely manner with something as simple as "Received. Thank You!" For more than 10 days. In said emails, the "representative" of SSR mocked my sister immediately , called her names, told her she was mentally unstable and that she should consider an emotional support pup (with the implication of good luck to the dog you bring home), as well as telling her that she would be forwarding her personal information to all other rescues in the area so that she would be unable to adopt elsewhere. I have never in my life encountered such a threatening and bullying tone from an organization who is supposedly looking out for the well being of dogs and potential adopters. Aside from mocking mental illness as a whole (which should never be used as a bullying tactic regardless of the situation), this organization threatened to send out HER PERSONAL INFORMATION and email to unauthorized parties simply because she asked them to be more considerate of future adopters time and efforts. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!?! As a quick sidebar...Let me also summarize our family dog history so you do not think we are a family of psychos who do not understand the dog adoption process. We have grown up with rescues our entire life, namely focusing on challenging dispositions and behavior issues. Our father is a trainer for rescues with behavioral and socialization problems so we have spent plenty of time loving the scared, timid, food aggressive biters, escape artists, etc,etc. I currently have a rescue from an amazing org in NYC and she is becoming a therapy dog and is now being used as a socialization pup for dogs who are struggling with adjustment and dog reactivity. We are a family that knows and loves dogs immensely. We have worked with tons of rescues and rescue dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities,and never in my life, personal or professional, have I encountered a group of people (or simply one...tough to tell since no one takes personal ownership at SSR), more unkind, combative or rude than these. As I said, adopting a dog is a commitment and a two way street. It is work and it is incredibly rewarding. It's also a huge shame that people like this can so readily ruin an experience that is supposed to be memorable only in the most positive way. Shame on you, SSR. Especially when the world is just needing some kindness and human compassion. PS..I would love to share the entire email chain. It would be wildly funny if it wasn't so alarming that people like this actually exist.

As…read moretime went on and we remained in contact, she would show me the new rescues and keep me up to date on them as well as checking on how my own cats were doing. I eventually adopted a kitten (Diana Ross) and she matched our personalities perfectly. Unfortunately, one of my cats unexpectedly passed away around the time the litter was getting fixed and she let me meet love bug Smokey Robinson where I immediately fell in love. We let him heal and my house to calm down before she brought him over and we immediately bonded, another perfect match and it was great to keep a brother and sister together (for better or worse because they are crazy now). You can tell seconds within meeting these two that their love for animals is immense and they are willing to do so much for them. They provide the best care and only have the animal's beat intentions in mind. It's not about the adopter, it's more about the adoptee as it should be. I highly recommend them whether you're ready to provide a fur-ever home or get a new home.

I first learned about this location from an Instagram post about them advertising their Staycation…read moreprogram over the holidays where you can foster a cat or dog over the holidays for a few days. Super conveniently located off the ACE line too at Canal St. They provide all the materials and your preference and they help match you with a furry friend. They were advertising a specific pick up and drop off date for the animals for this program, but i wanted to participate for a bit longer so I called a few days before to see if they're able to accommodate. The staff who answered didn't know the answer so they took down my info and told me someone would call me back. Days passed and I didn't hear back so I had to make a trek down there to ask in-person so that was a bit inconvenient. I wanted some time to prep my home. Anyway when I let them know that I'm a beginner foster and would prefer a cat that is generally friendly with no behavior problems, they helped me match with an adorable adult cream kitty. I picked her up with no issues. They provided me with all the supplies (and more) that I'd need for my week-long foster commitment. They also provided a number that I could text with any concerns should any issues come up. My whole experience was very positive. I'm glad to see that they have now expanded their program with allowing folks to take a dog out for a walk. I've seen further Instagram posts posting about these excursion experiences, but I think you have to come early during the day as only a limited number of dogs are eligible candidates daily. I've done similar excursions at Sean Casey in Brooklyn (no appointment necessary) and ACC (booking required a few days in advance online) so I'm excited this opportunity exists here in a more centrally located place in Manhattan. The shelter also allows visitors to come and view and play with their cats. You just need to make sure you wash your hands before interacting with them. I love this but also hope this doesn't overwhelm the cats too much.

We wanted a playmate for our sweet 1 year old cat, and a friend recommended Best Friends. I came by and the staff were all so sweet and welcoming. They were super informative and encouraged me to play with the cats. During my first visit, I came across the cutest orange female (RARE!) kitten. I had dinner plans and couldn't bring her with me. I came back an hour or so later and she was in the process of getting adopted :,) happy for her but sad for me. It's ok! I just thought that maybe it wasn't meant to be. A week later, I came back to Best Friends with my boyfriend on a mission to adopt a cat. They had an additional room towards the back that housed kittens!!! There were so many to choose from. We chose Juni because she was very cuddly and had a little quirky mustache. The staff made the adoption process so quick and easy. They even provided us a care package with all the necessities (kitten litter, wet and dry food). I expressed my concerns about introducing Juni to our cat at home, and they provided a step by step guide. They even followed up 2 weeks later with our progress. The employees and volunteers here really love what they do.

They tried to say my pet needed another rabies vaccine (which lasts for 3 years) that he just got last year. I had to be the one to correct them on their false records with absolutely no veterinary experience. The vaccination he WAS due for should have been simple and to the point but of course the staff again gave me the wrong information. The woman I spoke to told me there would be no office visit fee since I had already paid for it my last visit. Two days before the appointment I get a voicemail that they made a mistake and will charge an extra $104 for an office visit on top of the vaccine. When I called to get this sorted out I was given the run around and was asked "what did the lady sound like that you spoke to"? I'm sorry do you want me to reenact her voice to you? I understand that mistakes happen but these were two big blunders on their part and the least they could have done was simply waive the office visit fee. Instead the receptionist was nasty, rude, incompetent, and unprofessional. This place is clearly going down under and hurting for money if they are trying to get you to come in a year later for a vaccine that lasts 3 years. Crooks. Avoid at all costs.
