Emily and everyone at Little Paws actually care about the cats. They made sure they were medically well and were ready to be adopted. I had originally intended to adopt two black cat sisters, but they have another sister, a Torti. After cuddling with her, we decided to adopt her as well. All three kittens are so full of life and make everyday so fun. If you are considering adopting a cat or kittens from any organization, please contact Little Paws of Mt. Vernon. Emily got back to us super fast and gave us a private appointment to view their cats via zoom. We paid the adoption fee that day and by the end of the week, we went to pick up our kittens, after they were spayed. Little Paws of Mt. Vernon is a wonderful organization. They care so much about the cats and the adoptive pet parents.

This is the place to go to adopt an animal. They will work with you to adopt a pet, foster a pet,…read moreand let you have a trial period with a pet if you have other animals and need to see if they get along. They are NO-KILL and provide premium vet care for their ill animals instead of putting them down like other shelters may. It's only $75 for a cat, and $150 for a dog that has ALL its shots, heart worm testing, FIV/leukemia testing, any worms treated, and spayed/neutered. They lose money on any cats adopted because this is really expensive to get done on your own. The animals are really sweet and well adjusted to other animals because they are raised in an open environment with each other and get lots of love and attention from the dedicated staff. Going into one of the cat rooms is a delight because you will be approached by so many loving cats just begging to be pet. They have so much climbing furniture and toys, it's obvious they are happy. The dogs are housed separately but with great igloos and are out every day for multiple long walks or let out in a big dog run to play together with other dogs they get along with. The standard of care is exceptional and this is the kind of environment you want your pet to come from.

My husband and I were looking for a Jack Russel Terror mix. I contacted the Wayne county animal shelter they had a dog I was looking for. They sent me a picture of a skinny Jack Russel Terror mix. I contacted them that We wanted to come to pick him up on Friday. This was on a Tuesday. I received a call on Thursday wanting to know if we were still coming to get the dog. If we were not coming he was going to be put down. I reassured her we were coming. I will never forget that day as long as I live. They had named this dog Pluto. When we walked into the office it was so dirty the smell would have knocked you down. The workers acted like they couldn't wait to get rid of this dog. We had to ask for his information on his shots. We wanted to know if his shots were updated. After looking through a pile of papers we finally had the papers we needed. We asked if he was chipped. They said No but I guess we can do it for you. When they went back to bring our dog out. He ran to me and put his paws over my shoulders. I wanted to cry you could feel every bone from his neck down. This dog had not been taken care of. We ask how long had he been at the shelter. They told us they found him running in the streets. They said they had him for a little over a month. This dog was so traumatized by someone. We brought him home only to find out he was sick. We took him to the vet. He did not have kettle cough or heartworm. We were to give him honey when he started coughing. Whatever our dog Rex had it came from that nasty humane place where we got him. It made us wonder how many other dogs were sick back in that room. If you really care what happens to the animals at Wayne County Animal shelter. SHUT THEM DOWN!!

The workers are some of the most HATEFUL people you could ever meet!!! They have gone to peoples houses and taken their animals off of their property and said they were "running loose"!! They have also tried to take someone to court for a misdemeanor for not getting the animal fixed when the animal was hit by a car after running out the door over a year ago and the president of the board told the person to just take the animal without even getting it microchipped because they just wanted it out of their way! They will do almost anything to get a penny out of whoever they can!!! They are also a "no kill shelter" but the president of the board herself said that they do kill animals they just sweep it under the rug so no one finds out. It is worth driving to another town if you are wanting to adopt an animal! The people at the Wayne County Humane Society do not have good intentions for this business!!! I feel sorry for all of the animals that are locked up in the humane society not being properly taken care of! I wouldn't even want a mouse the have to step foot in this place!

I get there to be told they were reviewing other applicants and it would be 2-3 hours before we would know.

I first met Lauren when I thought I wanted a Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles spaniel & Poodle mix) …read more We went to see her puppies, but my husband thought a Cavapoo would shed too much. We had Cockers for years and really loved them. Talking to Laurel, we decided to order a Maltipoo (not even bred yet). She had such extensive knowledge about every breed she has that we both felt this was a better choice for us. She is so VERY careful with her breeding schedules that the pup would not be available for a few months. If she ran a puppy mill, she would have at least tried to talk us into a puppy she had available right then. Our puppy was born later so we went to see her and she was darllng! When she was old enough, we picked up the little bundle of white fur. She was perfect. Smart, affectionate...just what we wanted. She had been vet checked, given first shots, microchipped, etc. Laurel made sure I knew how to care for her, gave me a generous supply of food to last until I could get some for her. We never had any health problems because Laurel knows about all the possible problems and has the pups checked to know they are OK when they leave her home. We got along great until my precious baby was 4 1/2 years old. She got out into the dead-end lane in front of our house, was hit by a truck and my worst fear happened. She didn't suffer, but I did! I searched for rescue Maltipoos and Maltese, but people don't rehome Maltese often because they are so wonderful. I called Lauren (I was crying for Beatrice and so was Lauren) but she had 2 Maltese girls from her last litter. Again, the puppy was perfect and helped fill that hole in my heart. We also have 2 older rescue dogs and my new baby loved them. Sometimes too much. They would rather sleep than play sometimes, so now we have 2 darling litter-mate girls that are cousins to the baby I lost; they have the same grandmother Beatrice had. I even see some of her mannerisms in them. They entertain themselves and us with their antics and our older dogs get their sleep in. My sister also lost her dog to old age about the same time we lost Beatrice and ended up getting a Cavapoo from Lauren, too. She is perfect for my sister. Someone on this website made a comment that she thought Lauren had a puppy mill, but there must be more behind the story because nothing could be further from the truth. Lauren is very careful with her breeding program, retiring her breeding dogs when they reach an appropriate age, Her dogs have good food, recreation, love, room and a place to run and enjoy the outside, and are well cared-for. She always has dogs in her home with her. NOT ONE DOG is forced to spend their lives in tiny cages with little food or water and no recreation. I know this because I went to her farm to see for myself before I would get a dog from her. Anyone who thinks differently is sadly mistaken. I have fostered dogs for an animal rescue near me for several years and have seen dogs that come from those terrible places. I won't go into any details, but I have shed tears just seeing how hey have been so extremely mistreated. I have told many people about Dreamcatcher Hill and will continue to do so because I don't think anyone could be more concerned about their animals and the homes they are going to than Lauren at Dreamcatcher Hill. Sorry this is so long, but I had to let everyone know that though I'm not a close personal friend of Lauren's, I feel privileged to have found someone who cares so much about their puppies so I can have such smart, well-bred companions!

Because of that history, this situation is even more upsetting. My daughter recently submitted an application to adopt a cat. After hearing absolutely nothing for four days, I called to follow up and was met with a rude response stating that "the adoption process takes time" and that someone would contact us. The next day, I personally went into the office only to find out they were having trouble locating her application and that nobody had even reviewed it yet. At that point, we were specifically told the cat would not be available until the following week, that it would be placed on hold, and marked pending for my daughter. Then, only five hours later, we received an email saying the cat had already been adopted out to someone else. My daughter was devastated. The lack of communication, disorganization, and complete disregard for people who genuinely care about these animals is unacceptable. Since then, nobody has returned calls or answered the phone. After years of support, this experience has completely changed my opinion of the organization. I can no longer recommend Partners For Pets and will no longer be supporting them. If you are looking to adopt a pet, I would strongly recommend considering the local Humane Society instead, where communication and professionalism are taken much more seriously.

Anytime we had a question we had to reach out to the rescue. We never had to go through a home evaluation or anything like that which we thought was strange but moved on since we already had our new baby. By Friday morning Macy started throwing up which we thought was just a food change or anxiety from being away from her sibling. Saturday she was doing better so we didn't think much of it. By Sunday morning she couldn't keep anything down so we decided to rush her to the nearest ER. We called the rescue because our poor Macy had parvo. We were told there was another vet that could give her a shot and fluid for around $250 but we were paying the same amount so we stayed at the hospital we were at. We began home treatment but her little body could not fight the disease on her own. On Monday she was getting worse so I called the rescue which referred us to the Banfield hospital inside the Frisco petsmart, but they were unable to help so I rushed her to a hospital in Garland for treatment. Macy unfortunately passed away after fighting for her life around 5:30 am Tuesday morning. I was not informed of her passing until 10:30 am after calling the hospital multiple times for an update. I was also unable to get her body for cremation as the city picked up the body. We were told that we would get our adoption fee back and we could choose a new dog if we wanted. When we told the rescue that we didn't want to bring another puppy into our home because the virus can live for over a year. We did express that we would like our adoption fee back as we had spent over a thousand dollars within her short 5days of living with us. The rescue no longer answered our calls or replied to our text messages. I wish I could say that we had a great experience like many of the others have but honestly the entire experience has left a sour taste in my mouth about purchasing a dog from a rescue. I just wish we still had our baby girl but we were blessed to get to love her for those short 5 days!
