**UPDATE** After a…read moreyear writing this review, the Team at Daphneyland failed to do their part after meeting with their team. I do respect the objectives of what they are trying to accomplish, but it does prove the point of...Why people shop for dogs versus adopting. 1) We were promised an in-home inspection after many phone calls/interactions with one of their field representatives. When we were close to scheduling, they were no longer available to answer our calls nor responded to our inquiry. We felt that this was a slap to our face to drive over/close to 100 miles to visit. 2) After visiting Daphneyland, we were promised that one of the Basset Hounds would be On-Hold for us. A few days later on Social Media, the same dog was adopted to another family. FALSE PROMISES!! We have had more interaction and proactive responses from Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California. We wanted to rescue one, but unfortunately, it won't be from here. The Yelp Journey you take is an inspiration for others. Whether it is for them to try or to be in the footsteps of your experience.

I have personally spent time at this amazing place and know the staff well. They have the Holy Grail of information on nutrition, rehabilitation, overall wellness and needs for this breed of hound. Please come and visit when they are open and come see for yourself! There is so much love, kindness, devotion, and hard work put into keeping this facility running smoothly. Dawn has a lifetime of experience and wealth of knowledge and can answer any questions or concerns. They do their best to place the hounds in good homes and it shows. It's a special place. One of a kind in the world for Basset Hounds. Don't hesitate and adopt.

If this is true, somebody ordered this rescue closed, I am shocked! The young kitties were clean,…read moreplayful, had lots of food. We had a long living Siamese of our own, pass away. Six months later, I saw the listing for THIS kitten rescue. We drove over, and were VERY happy to see what they had created for unwanted felines! Lots of play there. all cats were spayed or neutered. It was an act of LOVE! We thought we found "the one." Then out of nowhere, a kitten (little bit more mature than others, but still young) cam up to my Hubby's feet, rolled on his back, purring. He'd been abandoned in an apartment, crying for help for days. a neighbor got in, and took him to this rescue! Of course we adopted him. He's been part of our family for several years now. WE LOVE HIM! I am sickened that they could close this great rescue home that showed dignity and care. SHAME on people who closed the best cat rescue ever! You've been closed a while now. That should never have happened!!! Cynthia, where ever you may reside now, We love you for taking loving care of our tabby cat! God bless you!!! PEACE. ...................Bob and June....

Saving Grace Animal Sanctuary in Acton is the most relaxing farm animal sanctuary that I have been…read moreto in California. I've been to many, but there is something so special and unique about the aura here, and I am not one to typically talk about auras... But you can feel something the moment you arrive. Something traversing the lines between total calm, joy, gratitude...ease. It's just...so peaceful. The animals are so clearly happy here. They receive true care from the sanctuary owners, Kathy and Erich, as well as their dedicated volunteers. They are cared for medically, emotionally, and physically, and their life includes much enrichment. Whereas the interactions with animals at other sanctuaries seems more driven by food than anything else, Saving Grace makes a conscious effort to ensure interactions are about LOVE and CONNECTION by not allowing visitors to offer food to the animals (except on very special occasions). This may seem like a bummer at first but when you realize that the animals are interested in spending time with YOU--not just eating what's in your hand then running off--you can truly bond with them in a meaningful way. I could spend hours here, and I could talk about it just as long. But alas, the only way for you to understand what I am seeing is to go visit for yourself. 100% donation run, and with no salary taken by the owners (they have their own business), every penny of your donations truly go into the animals. So consider making a lifesaving donation, volunteering your time, or coming by for a visit soon!

My sis's 2 year old had a grand slam time and was super curious. Make sure to drop something in the donation box on your way out n grab some merchandise from their website to show your support... they're awesome n doing great things!
