I came on here to rave about my adoption experience with All About Animals and found myself surprised by some of the less than positive reviews that I read because we have had nothing but an amazing experience each time we have adopted from Them. We adopted our first from them about 5 years ago and have adopted quite a few more since then. Everyone with the rescue has always been super helpful about matching us with the cat that is the right fit for our family and they have always been super responsive about getting back to us about any follow up questions we have had such as how to integrate a high energy Bengal kitten into our family of mellow older cats. Our fur babies are happy and healthy and All About Animals has become our rescue of choice each time we decide to expand our 4 legged family. read more

We adopted a cat from them at Petco at Metro Center, when I questioned the " we can not guarantee the animals health" part of their contract the woman told me don't worry shes healthy but Petco makes us put that on there if we wanted to adopt her we had to agre to it, ok great filled it out and took kitty home. Less than 36 hours later we found a mass onm the kittys jaw line. I tried calling the number on the adoption paperwork but of course it was no good, I called to talk to the woman at petco who told me I had to take kitty to their vet in scottsdale and the only contact was through email. And accused me of not paying the adoption fee and told me I had to come to petco and pay it..Nope..not putting my banking information in your phone. I checked paypal and they hadn't accepted the payment I made, so When given the correct information I resubmitted the payment immediately and PayPal verified that it has been accepted. I have emails spanning 5 days of Dawn Cavanaugh claiming kitty is healthy , even after she was diagnosed with Stomatosis and the vet recommended a biopsy of the mass on her jawline and FIV/Feline Leukemia testing. I made very clear throughout the email communications that I expected my monies refunded as the kitty is not healthy and of course when we returned her to the rescue I was accused of not paying the adoption fee and dishonesty. And I'm not getting a refund. I am communicating with Petco Cares and Paypal about this but beware !! read more

Easily one of the best animal rescue organizations in the state - AAAR has a strong mission to animal rescue and placement. And a very dedicated volunteer base that are equally committed to their pups and cats in their care I have adopted from AAAR and they are knowledgeable about their rescue animals, take great care as far as screening for potential homes/owners for their animals, and go beyond the call of duty for their rescues. I have been fortunate enough to speak and deal with two of their foster staff, as well as the rescue CEO and I remain a friend and benefactor of this amazing organization and their dedicated staff and foster folks. And I am a biased reviewer, I adopted the best Ocicat in the world from AAAR. read more

When I heard about this rescue I was thrilled. I was told that there were a bunch of cats who needed forever homes and love. My boyfriend and I showed up to adopt a cat (hopefully) and immediately was uncomfortable. The rescue was messy, unorganized, and so many cats walking around and transferring diseases they may have. The people there were in a way pressuring us to adopt a cat and if not one, two. We (my boyfriend and I) ended up adopting a kitten, he was 6months old. Not even a 2 weeks later his rectum was bleeding so then we brought him to Quail Crossing and the vet did not run any tests they just gave us medicine. Then a few weeks later he became lethargic, no longer eating, playing, and he started hiding. Turns out after further blood work he had severe pancreatitis. He needed hospitalization and possibly a blood transfusion. I got into contact with Dawn because I assumed as a non-profit they'd be compassionate to new owners and their fur babies. Turns out I was wrong. (below I have placed images of emails between Dawn and me, people need to know our story with this rescue.) Dawn told me she would send someone by to pick him up and treat him because I told her I was unable to afford this sick of a kitten and she made it seem like they were going to help us and treat him for free since he was nothing but sick since we got him. I told her we were going to surrender him to a humane society because I did not trust them taking him back, but they did. She said we are going to treat this kitten, no talk about costs or putting down an animal or surrendering him. They ended up checking him in at Quail Crossing animal hospital (the one they are partnered with) and the vet said we couldn't pick him up because he was checked in under them when he was registered to us. The vet then told me I need to call Dawn and figure it out the lady didn't want to be involved in the drama. This rescue is terrible and I do not recommend it if I could give no stars I would because one is too good for this rescue. Now I have no idea how he is doing and most likely never will. We did get a full refund but it doesn't level out to them stealing our cat. I hope this rescue gets shut down and that these cats go to a better rescue. *I would also like to add the things blocked out is my personal information. (number, email address, and home address.) There were animal hospitals in my area that I could afford they just made it seem like they were treating him for free and being overally kind.* read more

See all

I couldn't be more happy with this organization. They truly care about the animals and go above and beyond to help them find their furever home. I HIGHLY recommend this organization as you will not be disappointed I adopted my little Tink from Lisa who is one of the fosters and the adoption was a smooth one and my fiancé and I could not be happier with our little Tink read more

*Flynn was only fostered for a few days as you picked him up.from the Yuma animal control shelter since he was on the euthanasia list. Not saying he was a horrible dog.. yess I was upset we had to give him back, he got along with my boxer mix and cats just not my chihuahua. Yes I declined to use the 250 for another dog. As I do not trust your fosters opinions or yours. Like I replied in my most recent email I will be using it as a tax credit..as a donation. read more

I adopted my first two cats ever from this rescue and was so lucky to find them. I chose to adopt a cat with FIV and was blessed with 5 magical years with him and still have my other cat who is my main squeeze. This rescue always offered to help with when my cat had medical issues and I knew they all loved him so much. A bunch of people with the kindest hearts ever. I would not hesitate to adopt from them again. read more

I would avoid this rescue. They are dishonest. They advertise highly desirables and when you respond they tell you they have been adopted it that they aren't available til a later date. The whole purpose if putting your pet online is to find them a home so, why would you do so just to say that they will not be considering anyone til after a certain date. Then coming back and saying said pet has been adopted the same day. And now today the page with the pet has been updated with more information. I'm not crazy. I have 3 rescued dogs now and I have been approved at 5 different places. So, when I say what this rescue is doing is off and definitely dishonest, it's coming from experience with normal animal rescuers. read more

I would give this rescue - negative stars if I could. I purchased a pair of brother Siamese 9 month old cats from petco which is ran by this rescue and paid 700.00 for both one month ago. One cat was showing severe signs of illness. I took him to the vet in Scottsdale that they partner with for the "free" health exam and was told he has FIP which is fatal to cats. I was provided with Dawn's as well as Michelle's contact phone number from vet for further assistance. The veterinarian adv me that the rescue should take the sick cat back and provide treatment. I called both Dawn and Michelle several times with voicemails attached. No response. I received an email from them stating they do not provide medical treatment for FIP. I asked if they would reimburse for one cat 350.00 since I adopted him sick and it's fatal or even replaced with another companion cat for my healthy siamese. No response. They should have offered to pay for the euthanization that I had to pay out of pocket as well. Please do NOT ADPOT or Donate to this organization!!!! They HAVE ZERO COMPASSION. Now I have to explain to my 5 year old as well as twin 3 year olds what heaven is, and why their kitty is not coming home. read more

Our family adopted a 12 week old kitten on Dec. 2, 2018, from All About Animals Rescue. We stopped in at an adoption event at Petco, in Glendale. We were so impressed by how much the volunteers/foster families truly loved these animals! It was obvious that they were all very well loved, and cared for. Melissa was a real pleasure to deal with, and clearly has a passion for the selfless work that she does for the animals. We really enjoy keeping in touch with her; to this day, we send her weekly updates and photos...she always responds. Our home has been blessed by a fur-ever fur-iend! Although our little Mazie is still young, and a bit CrAzY, we just ADORE her! She has added so much fun and laughter to our home! Thank you, Melissa, and All About Animals Rescue, for assisting in completing our family! read more

All About Animals Rescue - "Owning" her new home! - Animal Shelters Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I "adopted" a Bengal cat for $1000 and it came with intestinal parasites. After doctor bills and the refusal of medication I had to surrender him to the vet - all the cats there need to be treated as it is highly contagious and caused by poor living conditions and contaminated water - beware - I am now out a ton of money and a cat. Thank you Dawn! read more

I too came here to rave about this rescue! After reading a few of the negative comments I'm sorry to hear about some of the misinformation that is being put out there. In my experience with AAA, they truly care about the well being of the "rescues" they adopt out. Keep in mind that these kitten/cats are rescued and one can never guarantee the health of any animal. So with that said I know we have all experienced our loss of a loved and cherished pet to nobody's fault but fate. My experiences with AAA have been all positive and I truly admire AAA for all they do as well as all the other rescues out there trying to make a difference. Thank you AAA and all other rescues for helping our pets and making a difference! read more

We've adopted 3 cats over the past few years from AAA and have always had a great experience. They're a foster based rescue so if you have specific questions they put you in touch with that animals foster. It's awesome. Will adopt from them again when my husband lifts the adoption hold in our house LOL!!! read more

Love love love this rescue! Animals are All foster based and well adjusted by the time they are ready for adoption. AAA is saving lives! I love my rescues I have from AAA! read more

About five years ago I adopted two Siamese cat brothers from All About Animals Rescue. I drove to Phoenix from Lubbock, TX to pick up these two loves. AAA Rescue carefully vetted me and I communicated multiple times with Lisa, the loving foster mom of Kalo and Kiwi. I have stayed in contact with Lisa and we agree this was a match made in heaven! I'm thoroughly impressed with All About Animals and the care they provide for their rescued dogs and cat read more

We adopted our cats (sisters) 8 years ago and had a wonderful experience working with the owner of the rescue, the volunteers and our cat's foster family. I was so impressed with the organization that I even volunteered and fostered a few cats. After having kids and traveling we couldn't continue to commit our time for fostering but have keep in contact with the rescue and specifically Lisa, our cats foster "Mom". Everyone I have met in AAA is passionate, kind and wants the best for animals everywhere. I highly recommend AAA for their quality care and even after care of their animals. Thanks AAA for raising our babies from birth and allowing us to adopt with you. Thanks for checking up on Violet and Lily even after all these years. read more

I have been a volunteer with the rescue and have adopted cats multiple times from the rescue. I always get positive support. Many of the negative posts on here were due to lack of understanding about rescue or misinformation. All about Animals has always focused on saving lives and helping families understand the pets they are adopting, but it is also up to the adopter to reach out if they have questions or need support! read more

I can't say enough about the labor of love that Dawn and her crew at AAA show by giving hundreds of cats and dogs wonderful care as they seek to pair them up with just the right forever pampered homes with their lucky and grateful humans. I am so happy with my well socialized and healthy cats that I have personally adopted from AAA! Dawn is so friendly and knowledgeable about everything having to do with pet health and compatibility . I highly recommend AAA. read more

Both of my cats were adopted from All About Animals 7 years ago. They were (and still are) healthy and well socialized. My coworkers and I also volunteered at one of their adoption events last year and it was a great experience. read more
