There was a dog we were interested in adoption and they never follow through three applications were put in one by myself when my husband and another one my daughter-in-law did and none of us receive any contact from these organizations. It is a shame we wanted to adopt from a rescue or a shelter however, they don't care to have these pets adopted? After waiting calling texting emailing and no one returned your call or an email or a text. I went ahead and purchased. Two puppies from breeders. It is a shame that these organizations say they want to place into a good Home however, never bothered to follow up.

From the owner: We are a rescue unlike any other. We are volunteer owned and operated. We do not have overhead…read morecosts. We do not have paid staff. We do not have expensive utility bills. Why? Because our rescue is a network of homes throughout our communities that step up and answer the call to end the animal welfare crisis. Our volunteers, when funded well, remove at-risk dogs straight from the streets and place them directly in to their forever homes within our Volunteer Sanctuary Pool Alliance, and not a temporary overcrowded and poorly funded shelter. This membership, (The VSPA) is one that anybody can join for free. All adoptions are free. And we raise funds to support our members. It's that simple. The animal welfare crisis can not be handled by one single shelter or charity. The crisis is a community problem. And community problems must come with community solutions. So join our alliance and make a difference. Even if you are not wanting to adopt or foster, the more our alliance grows, the louder our voice is. And right now, dogs at risk across our country need our voices to be as loud as possible. Visit us now. Become informed. Stay engaged. Volunteer. Adopt. Foster. Support. Act today to save a life tomorrow and be a hero forever!

Although it was beyond hours, Susan greeted us, answered questions, and, in reality, comforted both of us. She also offered any help she could give to our situation. Indecision kept us busy for two more weeks, but decision made, we called her. She and a volunteer came on a Sunday and collected our surplus and our cat, taking time from her weekend to let us say goodbye, assuring his care, and thanking us for the privilege of being able to help. Fantastic, caring organization. We are indepted, and will be in their support list for a long time. If you are searching for a new furry friend, give them a call. You'll leave with a good feeling of meeting the people as well as the friend I hope you'll meet there and bring home.

This rescue is phenomenal!…read more Last week, I adopted my second dog from here. I met with Chris who really took the time to get to know me and talk about the dog I was going to see before bringing him out. I really like how you can meet the dog in a calm environment (out in front of their house under the shade). This rescue is run by a family of four very committed people. They keep the dogs in a home on a large lot; the dogs are not kenneled. The animals are really in a "home" like environment until they find their forever families. They like to keep in touch with adopters, which is awesome and really shows that they care about placing dogs in the perfect home. I would definitely recommend this rescue to anyone looking to adopt a dog!

My little guy was scheduled to be killed because he was so scared. HOME took him in, cleaned him up and took care of him until I met him a month later. I went to an adoption day to look for another dog and saw my future babe in a corner licking his cage. It was love at first sight. He was the missing piece to our family. I can tell he was house trained by HOME and also treated very well. They made sure to interview us and make sure we kept in touch with them to let them know how it worked out. He has no behavioral issues, no health issues and they transferred his registration and microchip into my name after a month. They make sure their dogs don't end up on the street again. This organization also provides extensive medical care for injured dogs out of pocket. I always donate whenever I can. I will never forget the immense gift they gave me just by saving the life of a dog I would come to love more than anything. I would highly recommend this rescue!

I have adopted numerous animals and always kept them all. We realized because the animals were not getting along, it would be best to return the dog so that she could get the family she deserved. The owner was extremely rude and angry. Seven months after I had written them a check, she cashed it. When I emailed her questioning why she waited, she belittled me and told me I broke the contract. She told me my dogs were the issue and proceeded to pick a fight. In the end I told her to keep her $$. Do not adopt little pets from this angry person. I hope she treats the pets better than she treats people. I have never encountered someone so angry and rude. She is extremely triggered and these little rescues deserve better.

The event was a bit chaotic in knowing how to fill out what to get to meet a dog but it all worked out. We were shocked novody else was interested in this sweet boy and his foster eas very kind and informative to help us make sure he was a good fit for our home. They were also very patient with us running around to grab supplies. While the adoption fee is a bit higher than some rescues there is a tax break and it's nice that majority if the shots were paid and planned along with the neutering. Andy came home healthy with us and immediately took to his big sister who he loves so much. It was nice that he had spent time with his siblings so he was used to having another dog around and is just a great pup for our family! Can't imagine not having adopted him the day we met him.

He needed eye removal surgery along with some dental work so a month later I took him for that. Before I get ahead of myself, he also has some sneezing fits which they gave me medication for before his surgery which it seemed to work. They did blood work three separate times while he was under their care. Fast forward to taking him in for a pre adoption appointment in November 2025, they gave him the all clear, saying he was in good health and he may just need more dental work in the future which no big deal because they set me up with Fetch pet insurance. The agent setting up his insurance account informed me all of his teeth would be covered and if he needed special food in the future that would be covered too. It also sounded like a good deal because they are the only insurance that covers pre existing conditions that shelter animals typically would have throughout their lives in the shelter or on the streets. Cool. One month later, December 2025, he had sneezing fits again so we took him to friends of Pacc clinic because Pacc recommended them to us to use after adopting him. They diagnosed him with herpesvirus, didn't even take blood work or run tests to confirm it, gave me medicine for him. It had been a week and he was getting worse so I took him to another vet for a second opinion. This was earlier this month January 2026. Good thing I did because I found out he has calisivirus, mycoplasma virus, kidney dysfunction, and is severely anemic and needs to go to the ER asap to get a transfusion. I've already spent near 1 grand on medication and vet visits, now I'm going to spend who knows how much on a transfusion he needs to live. How could they not have caught all of this at Pacc with the amount of tests they ran on him, I'm very annoyed and angry, I feel like they withheld this information from me or they were cutting corners there. I want justice for my cat for their lack of care for him and for myself financially and the emotional toll this has taken on me. Also, the agent at Pacc that set up my insurance for him put his age at start of insurance as 4 instead of 12. So the "great deal" on insurance I thought I was paying was all a lie. After submitting all my recent vet expenses for my cat, I discovered this major error and had to report it and I was charged a pretty penny of back pay along with a hefty increase in my monthly payment. Extremely disappointed. I also called the insurance to ask about the prescription food coverage he needs for his kidneys and they said the agent at Pacc misinformed me and his food will not be covered. So I just had to pay almost 60$ for only 24 cans of food that will only last me a month. They need to not be giving out false information and have some more competence when it comes to filling out insurance forms. How do you put 4 instead of 12. I could understand maybe putting 2 instead of 12 due to just simply missing a single number, but 4?! The only reason I'm giving the extra Star is because the over all staff of volunteers there are incredible. The people who aren't getting paid by Pacc, who show up to volunteer, those are the people that make that place even worth going to. Never going to Pacc again. It's so sad that so many animals are there that need homes and so many people go there and think they are getting the best care but they aren't getting the full disclosure on their animals health. It's not just me too, I've heard other stories from people fostering and adopting through them as well, one of them being a kitten with ringworm, they weren't told he had ringworm and they ended up needing to get rid of their couch and all their kids stuffed animals and spent a lot of time cleaning their whole house only for it to come back three other times. They need to be honest with people so they can decide whether they can take in the animal financially and if their home is equipped to handle them. Please if you decide to go to Pacc, please please please make them do a recent medical evaluation with blood tests and any other tests you think they need especially if it's an older animal.
