We adopted a dog from them a couple weeks ago and everyone was so nice when we came in to meet him!…read moreI guess the dog we picked was a favorite and it really showed because everyone wanted to come say bye to him and was so excited he was getting a forever home and he was so excited when they came out which really shows how well they treated him. You can tell how much they care about the dogs they have there!! They also wanted updates on him and how he was settling in and it was just all around an awesome experience and we absolutely LOVE our new dog!! He is such a sweetie pie and exactly how they described him. I got a like 8 page meticulous medical report on him and his health because he was part of a group of dogs they got from an overcrowded home and quite a few were sick when they got them. It was such a great experience and when we are ready to get another dog, we will absolutely be back! Couldn't recommend this rescue more!!!

We went to Petsmart in 2012 for cat food. Had no plan to come home with a dog. This small dog…read morerescue pulled small dogs from the kill shelter who were going to to be euthanized Monday, and take them to Petsmarts to find them a home. We knew no one knew much about the little fella. He melted our heart, and our daughter had fish, hermit crabs, birds, and cats, but never had a dog yet. He melted our hearts. When we picked him up he grabbed onto us. And didn't want to be put back down. Needless to say we came home with a pup and cat food. He needed some veterinary care. After a week he was doing great. He has gluten, soy, and dairy allergies just like us, so he was a perfect fit. We were perfect for him as well since our eyes were open to his needs and how to feed him. We have had him 13 years now. He is 14 and is still the same happy silly pup. I don't know how they obtain dogs these days, but we are thankful he is a part of our lives.

While I would love to brag about this place, here is the truth. I have been a foster for AAWL for…read moremore than five years and have watched them go down hill so badly that I can't work with them anymore. They are turning away health cats and dogs (after scheduling their intake) for reasons that don't exist but for financial reasons, when they are in the business of helping homeless animals. I have sat in the lobby and watched how rude the girls have become with volunteers and the people dropping off pets. I used to marvel at their compassion for pets in their care, now I shudder. Stop donating to AAWL. They are paying their staff, and turning away healthy animals (I have seen it) so they can avoid paying for them. Two thumbs down. Please, no more donations to AAWL. They need to drain this SWAMP and get some ethical, decent leaders on staff.

We went to Scottsdale Pet Hotel (the available dogs are boarded there) and were asked to bring our existing dogs, which I liked. We spent quite a bit of time with Pumi (not his name anymore) and everyone who worked with us was really nice and very helpful throughout the process. We fell in love with our new family member instantly. We will be taking him to our personal vet, just to have him checked out, although he seems very healthy. We would definitely use this rescue again, and I have already told a couple people about them.

A little over a year ago I was being really mopey and nagging on my husband to let me get a dog…read more I've grown up with dogs so it was really hard for me adjusting to married life but not having a pet. I searched and searched and searched on PetFinder and sent countless pictures of needy pets to my husband. Finally, I stumbled upon a picture of an adorable dog named Casanova. He stole my heart and I knew we were meant to be. The husband gave in. This dog was taken care of through the foster program at Mixed Up Mutts and Shepherds Too. I contacted his foster mom and we set up a meeting time. His foster mom was incredibly accommodating and went out of her way to find a home for this sweet dog. Long story short, we met and I adopted the dog that day. Now Rally (formerly Casanova) is a happy, energetic, well adjusted dog. I have a lot of gratitude for the organization that took him in time and time again after he was adopted out and then returned as if he were store merchandise. I know his foster mom took excellent care of him. I was so pleased with this organization and I found their adoption fees to be very minimal. Excellent customer service and consideration for animals goes a long way.

I went to them to…read morerehome my two golden girls and they told me they had a family already lined up and that they could pick the girls up. we agreed on a day and time. The day of I called to verify some things and one of the ladies I talked too thought I was one of her employees instead. she immediately started talking so I didn't get a chance to correct her and I let her speak, I don't interrupt. she continues on to talk about ME and my situation TO ME. While doing so, she told me that were coming to get my animals today and that they were going to a foster, but not to tell me that when they came because they told me they had a family and they just want to get my animals from me, once they do that they were going to just block me. When I finally said, okay hey look you're talking to COLTEN. The guy that owns those dogs. She hung up. I called the owner or supervisor whatever she was, and explained what had happened. She tried to tell me that's not how they operate and yada yada but then I never heard anything back from them. I'm not sure why they have such good ratings. They might have some situations they help and good for them. But if you want to KNOW where your dog goes because you love and care, stay away. If you don't want to be lied to, and made believe your animals has a family already when they don't (which was the only reason I could go through with it). Don't go here.

My experience was awful. I made an appointment.

But when we got there, after almost an hours drive they turned us away at the door because "not all the puppies are vaccinated and they can't let in outside dogs in. I don't care what the rules are. In fact, thats a perfectly legitimate rule. My problem was I was told. More than once, that bringing my current dog was absolutely ok. Then they texted me trying to blame me for the mis information I was given. I have receipts via the text messages sent. Again, by all means keep the puppies healthy but make sure your employees are aware of you policies/procedures. plus IMO it felt very puppy mill from the doorway. My advice? Definitely go somewhere else.

I have my o.g. baby at home in CA, but one day, I will have another, and his name will be Kevin!! I made an appointment about an hour and a half before making my way to the Chandler location (they have another one in Tolleson). Hayden helped me out and got me set up in the play area. I looked around and didn't see the Malshi I saw online. She had to get him from the back room. When she handed him to me, I melted!!! I mean, just LOOK at that face! Who wouldn't?! I knew I'd leave feeling super sad and that's exactly what happened. =( From the moment I held him in my arms, he just laid there like a baby. No wiggling, no barking, just straight up chillin'! His fur was super soft and he smelled good, too! I stayed for about a half hour, and I fell real hard for this guy. Sadly, it was not meant to be since I don't have my own place yet. I'm not sure about the other reviews, stating that the puppies come from puppy mills, because all of the puppies I saw looked clean and healthy, and they are checked regularly by a veterinarian. In fact, before you take one home with you, the puppy needs to be cleared by the veterinarian, which is usually on Fridays. Hayden said once someone takes a puppy, their picture automatically gets taken down from their website. I knew this little guy wouldn't last. I checked yesterday and he was gone! =( I hope he went to a loving home! Puppyland offers financing options, but you can always pay in full as well. The employees were very friendly and informative. The place is clean and I like how they list the breeder underneath each puppy's picture on their website. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled just in case another Kevin pops up when the timing is right for me. Until then, I guess I'll just stare at these pictures of us! =/ Thank you, Hayden, for a great visit!
