My communication with SOS began right before Christmas. I filled out an application and was…read moreinterested in 3 different kittens. Someone reached out to me stating the kitty I wanted was still available. I filled out an application, but for some reason, BOTH my references didn't receive their forms. So, we had to forward the form to them to get it filled out ASAP as SOS was indicating they hadn't heard from out references. We had the situation fixed within a day or two (it was during Christmas time). I sent an email to Dee to touch base if they've received the forms from our references and then nothing but crickets chirping. I waited and waited and waited (knowing my references filled out their form and giving them the benefit of the doubt) but then this morning a got an email that the cat we'd been waiting in for 3 weeks+ was adopted. No reason, no explanation, nothing. I even sent an email this morning (giving them the benefit of the doubt) and have not gotten an answer per usual. It's amazing to me, they want to come do a home visit, get our references, want to speak with our vets, want all our pets shot records at a fast rate, but their communication is slow AF. This was supposed to be a Christmas present for our family after losing 2 pets (we used to be a dog family until my son asked for a cat) but now 4 weeks of work is GONE without even an ounce of communication besides an email from Petfinder that the cat we were waiting almost a month for is adopted. I've helped neighbors, family members, friends, etc find various pets to love and find a good home within the San Antonio area, this place is the ONLY place where you gotta give a lot, but the respect isn't

I'm officially a proud parent of one Siamese cat! We were on the hunt for our first kitten to adopt…read moreto our family, but wanted something more exotic. We found the Siamese Oriental and Snowshoe Cat Rescue network (SOS) via adoptapet.com. SOS is an incredible non-profit rescue center that takes in exotic breeds who have been abused or neglected. Though their application process is extensive, I appreciate how well they vet their candidates. They want to ensure their kittens find the purrrrfect forever home. In addition to the detailed application questions, you're required to submit your driver's license, a utility bill to verify your address, and 3-4 references (one of which cannot be a friend), along with your current pets' most recent vaccination records. Adoption rates vary depending on the feline's age and breed. Once your application is approved, you'll have a phone interview with a staff member or the executive director, Dee, to discuss the care of your potential new cat and address any lingering questions. Our application process took about 2.5 weeks from start to finish, including the interview. If you're in the area or want to make the trip to meet your potential new cat in person--it's definitely an option! We visited Ms. Dee's home and left that same day with the 9-week-old kitten we had applied for.

I believe this "rescue" is a scam. I have not been able to find any indication that they have…read moreadopted any dogs out. The amount of money they claim to have spent getting one of their dogs back from it's owner is inconsistently varies quite a bit. They have quite a few fundraising pages and are quick to pepper the internet with requests for donations. Their interaction with me was extremely suspect. I saw their dog, Nolan, on petfinder. When I emailed to ask about his availability, heartworm status and age, I was told he has to be adopted with their dog named, Lulu and I did not receive an answer about his current HW status. I asked for more information about Lulu. I found out that both dogs had been heartworm +, but Cindy Marabito wouldn't tell me if they had their vaccinations or had been cleared by a vet after their "holistic heartworm treatment." There was or is some kind of messy legal/custody battle over Lulu. Cindy wouldn't tell me if it had been sorted out. I had to ask: 4 times if they were fixed. I never got an answer, but Lulu's petfinder page now says she is spayed. 4 times if the legal problems with Lulu's custody were resolved. I still haven't gotten an answer. 3 times if they were now heartworm free. Finally Cindy claimed that Nolan was healed with raw and herbal diet/treatments. So I asked if she had verified with a vet that the treatments were successful. She refused to answer that too. 2 times if they were vaccinated, I never got an answer, but Lulu's petfinder page now says she is UTD on vaccines. Cindy sent this: "Both are raw fed and homeopathically treated, so would need to continue that lifestyle. Nolan was hw positive when we got him and totally cured with herbal..a raw fed dog treated with herbal will not become infected with hw or other parasites or disease..take a look at our website .... Health Page. It's amazing..none of our dogs go to conventional vets or ever get sick, get fleas, cancer, etc." I'm certainly not against raw or herbal, but this all just sounds like a scam or wingnut on the loose.

Beware of this rescue. Unwilling to do the ethical thing on stolen dog they adopted out…read more Take a look at all the pictures I've attached below & you'll see the owner of this rescue refuses to help the real owner of a dog that was surrendered to a shelter & then to this rescue & rehomed without her consent. Dog is chipped & proof of chip & owner attached below. As soon as the owner(who is out of the country currently) found out Charlie her King Charles Spaniel was missing she did everything possible to find her furbaby & found out this rescue had her dog. Unfortunately, this rescue even went as far as have her daughter prove ownership of Charlie before finally breaking the news that Charlie had been rehomed 2 days prior & had "new owners" now as the "rescue" put it. The rescue refused to call the new owners of Charlie & explain the situation & remedy it. Why?? I'm sure the new owners would not feel right keeping a very loved member of someone else's family. And on top of all of this, Charlie's owner Deborah is a breast cancer survivor & Charlie was with her through her battle. Do the right thing & bring Charlie back to his rightful home.

This rescue group should be direct in advertising that they don't adopt out to anyone with kids.

We now have 2 completely different dogs than this time last week! 1 session w Donovan has changed things dramatically: Lucy is calm & let's you pick her up; sits still when you put on her leash; stays off furniture (w some policing); no barking and Wyeth is not on furniture (w some coaching) as his default... they both go sleep in the crate we have in Den. I'm pretty sure Donovan will have taught them to talk & do calculus by the end of their 3 weeks training we have set up!

Finding a good pet sitter has been extremely difficult for us. We've used Rover.com several times…read morenow, and have been disappointed each time. We had hired someone through Rover on our recent trip to Maui, and though I was paying for house/pet sitting, the person was stopping by the house for maybe 20 minutes at a time, 4 times a day. My dog was a mess!! He has serious anxiety issues and has to be around people! A good friend told me about Lauren and Andy. We were crazy lucky that Andy was able to sweep in and take over our dog's care. He truly saved our vacation!!! He was there every night for my dog, and he was with him during the day as well. My dog was traumatized before Andy got there, and Andy knew immediately what my dog needed to calm down and feel secure. I can't thank Andy and Lauren enough for what they've done for us. I will be calling them from now on whenever we need to be out of town. Amazing customer/pet service!!!!
