Our adoption journey was neither easy nor typical. We had been working with an agency for about a…read moreyear and during that time had experienced two failed placements. Our third match came through and independent source, and the birthmother wanted the support of Haven Adoptions to guide her through the process. While this was not our agency, the staff at Haven took us under their wing and agreed to work with our agency to help process this unique situation. It was easy to see why our birthmother chose Haven to help her place her child with us. Haven provided her with great resources not only during the process, but also after placement. They also did an amazing job teaming with our agency to ensure we were supported as well- keeping us informed the whole way through. They were with all of us through the entire delivery/ placement process to make sure that our son's best interests were paramount. We felt comfort in knowing that our birthmother was being well taken care of, and appreciated all the love and support that our family received. We consider the staffs of both agencies to be his 'fairy godmothers' and helping us find our happily ever after. Post placement we send our birthmother regular updates per an agreement Haven facilitated. They have helped us foster and maintain a level of contact that met all of our needs. Their advocacy for birthmothers and focus on erasing negative stigmas around placement is both admirable and supports our beliefs as well. Our journey took us on many unexpected paths, but we believe that there was a reason behind each one. We are eternally grateful to everyone involved, including the amazing staff at Haven. Thank you for your contribution to our family!

As clients, we have received open, honest and timely communication from Haven. We have never felt pushed off to the side. Haven keeps a small client base in order to provide amazing service... and amazing service is exactly what we have recieved. We can't thank Haven enough for their honesty, thoughtfulness, service and commitment to their clients and expectant mothers.

They are extremely communicative, and the events are usually held on Saturdays, but the transport that was bringing the dogs in had troubles and the event ultimately had to be moved to Sunday. I had my phone call at about 11:15 and about 1 PM hours later I was informed about the date change. It is not a typical adoption shelter that I have been to in the past. At the event, there is a ticket system, as in, the earlier you get there the earlier you will be called. While you wait you mingle with the volunteers and the dogs. You get a vibe on which dog feels like the best fit for you. However, be mindful that the crew with MatchDog Rescue does their due diligence and wants the best for EVERY SINGLE DOG. We went to the event with a very specific dog in mind. One that was on the medium/large end. However, the staff that reviewed our application and lifestyle, let us know that the dog might not be the best fit for us in terms of training and size of our home. While it was disappointing to hear, we knew at heart we wanted what was best for the dog and us. As mentioned before there is a mingling period while waiting to be called on by staff. During this period you can meet dogs of all ages, sizes, and all types OUTSIDE of dog cages. We had met several different dogs during this period, just to name a few that I can remember, Nevada, Hewitt, Cassidy, Dukie, and Garret. We bonded with several dogs early on, but with our hearts set on a specific dog, we just enjoyed their presence. However, after being informed that the dog we had our hearts set on was not a good fit for us, we knew which of the many dogs we met during the mingling period we wanted to go on a walk with. We asked if Hewitt was a good fit for us, confirmed he was, took him on a little stroll around the lot, and knew that our hearts were set on him. We went through the process of adopting him and each volunteer we worked with, remembered Hewitt and always told us how he was such a great dog and a cute little snippet or fun fact about Hewitt. There was never a doubt in my mind that Hewitt was not loved under their care. On our way out with Hewitt, the last volunteer that we worked with walked us to our car, ensuring that Hewitt was buckled in and safe and had their very loving and sad goodbyes with each other. Hewitt has been with us for about a week. We are a very calm, but active couple and Hewitt matches exactly that for us. When we are relaxing, he is relaxing. When we are running, Hewitt is right there running with us. It is not something that I considered when I was looking into adopting a dog, but I am extremely grateful the staff at MDR let us know before adopting a dog. If ever in the future I am looking for a second dog, there is no doubt in my mind that MDR will be the first adoption agency I look into.

It's been a little over a year since we got our dog Benji from Lisa and "A Dog's Place", and we…read morecouldn't be happier! Except for one thing: We should have taken another one, or two, or three... If we only had the space! All the dogs from pups to the older "scary" looking pitbull types were so sweet and gentle. Lisa was so good with all of them and even the new rescues that came in the ones that seemed scared or nervous Lisa just had a way with them and a good eye for which ones needed more attention or maybe needed more time to adjust. We hope we have our guy forever but if we don't or if we can ever manage to have another or additional rescues, this is the only place we will go to. Thank you Lisa and "A Dog's Place"! You're the best!!!!

We adopted two dogs from here - we were told that the 3 year old dog was spayed and that she was…read morethe mother of the puppy we also adopted. The 3 year old dog went into heat after we had her for a month (i.e., not spayed), and out of curiosity we did dog DNA tests and the two dogs were not related. In general our experience wasn't the greatest - this rescue is disorganized, and we were given false information about the dogs. Furthermore, we contacted them, since part of the adoption fee included spaying the dog. They told us they are getting a refund from the vet, but that they don't believe they should refund us any money. So bottom line they don't pay for our dog being spayed, but we are charged for spaying as part of the adoption fee. If you're considering adopting a dog, PLEASE DO SO. We would just suggest that you find another rescue. I believe the people associated with this rescue have the best interests of the dogs at heart, and we're so glad we got our two dogs, but there are better places to find an awesome rescue dog.
