    Herbie is ready for his next Bow Wow adoption event
    Sheri S.

    With no facility and 100% staffed by volunteers who pull animals from high kill shelters, work with vets to resolve all kinds of medical conditions, foster animals, work through many adoption processes each month, plan and manage adoption events and pursue monetary and pet supply donations, this is the kind of rescue you want to donate to and adopt from. 100% of all funds, donations and resources go to directly to the care of the animals. I found a sick dog through a group of CACC volunteers. He was on the urgent list and needed rescue from CACC. He just broke my heart. I offered to foster through the Facebook feed, but no takers. One of the volunteers suggested I reach out to the shelters that are able to pull from CACC. I sent 20 emails with photos asking for support. Only Bow Wow responded and I became a foster home for them. This is not a big organization. It's a small group of very dedicated folks who truly love animals. A+ dedication. I am proud to be a foster home for Bow Wow Revolution. To those who post anything negative about a dedicated group of volunteers SHAME ON YOU. We are very fortunate in Chicago to have MANY no kill shelter groups who are dedicated to making Chicago a no-kill city. All rescues screen to make sure animals to go loving homes, this takes time. If you need help with a rescue, reach out to many organizations as I did.

    My wife and I adopted our dog from Right-Way. The dog was older and couldn't fing a proper home…read more She did. Wright-Way picked to right dog for my family. She had spent 18 months in a cage.We gave her a big house and a big back yard. She couldn't be happier.

    Before reading this review, I want to preface that I would recommend Wright Way Rescue to…read moreexperienced pet owners who know what questions to ask regarding a dog's health, history, and overall care. I would not recommend this facility for first-time pet owners because the adoption process is extremely rushed and can be overwhelming, making it easy to miss important information. As a long time pet owner, my overall experience was decent, but there were several things that raised concerns. The biggest issue was communication. I called, emailed, left voicemails, and even texted the number provided to me with little to no response. It took visiting in person to get my questions answered. To their credit, the facility was extremely busy, and the first employee who helped me was wonderful and ultimately why I chose to adopt through them. One major tip: complete your application online, not on paper. My paper application was never followed up on, and the dog I originally wanted was gone before I heard back. My online application, however, was approved the same day. The day we visited to meet our dog was chaotic. The facility was crowded, loud, and overstimulating for both people and dogs. The check-in process was disorganized, and we waited over 20 minutes just to be told how to join the visitation queue. However, I understand that shelters can be stressful environments, and I appreciated that they required hand washing before interacting with dogs and sanitized the meeting spaces between families. When we met our dog, they appeared healthy, and we were given unlimited time to interact with them. The volunteer assisting us was kind but clearly overwhelmed, and some information she provided did not align with the dog's online profile. The most concerning part came during the adoption paperwork. The volunteer reviewing the dog's file moved very quickly, and I believe a first time owner could easily miss critical details. We were informed at that moment that our dog was currently on medication due to nasal discharge, something that had not been disclosed online or before agreeing to adopt. Given that we had a senior pet at home, this was information I would have appreciated knowing beforehand. I also learned the dog had undergone surgery only days before adoption and had been recovering while housed with several other dogs. Another issue was the pet insurance discussion. I fully support pet insurance, but it was not clearly explained that we were being handed off to a third party representative trying to sell a policy. A first time owner may have felt pressured into signing up immediately without comparing other options. Additionally, some fees lacked transparency. For example, paperwork stated that the dog needed to leave with identification tags, but it was not made clear beforehand that there would be an additional charge for the tag. Despite these concerns, we ultimately adopted our dog and absolutely love them. We have thankfully not experienced serious issues that some other reviewers have mentioned. There are positives worth recognizing: this is a volunteer based rescue, I saw evidence that dogs are walked regularly and not left in kennels all day, their hygiene protocols before handling animals are good, and many of the staff members genuinely care. Overall, my two star rating comes down to poor communication, lack of transparency around health concerns and additional costs, and an adoption process that moves too quickly for someone who may not know what questions to ask. I have empathy for the volunteers and understand they are managing a very busy facility, but better communication and clearer disclosures would significantly improve the experience for future adopters.

    In May of 2022 our family was looking to add a young cat to our home. We visited PAWS twice but…read morejust didn't "click" with any of the cats we met at that time. I had 2 friends that had adopted their cats through Precious Pets, so I decided to look into them and I'm so happy I did! I love that they're a foster-based rescue. The application process was lengthy but integral to finding the best fit for our family. I appreciated that they took the time to "vet" us and figure out what would work best for our family. It showed me that they truly care about where their animals go and want the absolute best outcome for them. We were looking for a cat to join our 2 cat, 1 toddler (at the time) home. We went to visit a litter of kittens that were about ready to be adopted out at their foster home. We initially were interested in one of the boys, but one of the girls ended up stealing our hearts at the meet & greet. The foster was able to tell us more about their personalities since she helped raise them, and I really appreciated her insight because it helped us pick the best cat for our family. We needed a gentle and patient cat for our growing family. Sesame came home with us a few weeks later and we just love her so much! She has grown up to be one of the most calm and gentlest cats I've ever met - sweet and curious and sometimes mischievous too. She loves her people & two older cat brothers - we couldn't imagine our lives without her now! I truly believe that Precious Pets giving Sesame a safe and healthy foster home to grow up in helped shape her into the wonderful cat she has become.

    ***If you're looking to rescue from here BEWARE***…read more I adopted a puppy from this organization in 2019. Unfortunately after years of trying to correct behavioral and paying hundreds of dollars trying to correct this nothing worked. I reached out to Marsha Perry in 2020 to inform her of the problems and she simply told me to look into training (which we already had spend hundred on). In March of 2024 I reached out to her again to tell her I had tried everything and couldn't keep the dog anymore. Marsha said "ROAR has not been doing dogs for many years and has transitioned to mostly cats". She also said "can't he be kept in a cage or in a separate area of the house?" She became extremely vile, unresponsive at times and simply refused to help. At the time do adoption we were told they would take the dog back NO QUESTIONS ASKED, should "life happen" and we could keep him anymore. Clearly not the case. I continued to reach out to other rescues in the area and unfortunately a few months later my husband lost his job, we had to move in with family and their senior dog gets severe anxiety around other dogs. So keeping our behavioral complex dog was not an option. I reached out to a shelter in desperation and explained to them everything that Marsha had said to me. I even showed them emails and they were APPALLED! They were happy to take him in and take care of him. A few days later Marsha emails me with a very nasty tone "I can't believe you thought this was a better option for him." Ummm...you left me no choice! Please stay away from this organization. Not only will they NOT honor signed contracts, the owner Marsha will harass you, belittle you and be flat out be nasty to you. I have reported this organization. These people shouldn't be allowed to continue to foster animals. I can only imagine how they treat those poor animals.

    Well they let me adopt my best friend so I'd say I loved it ! Please adopt don't shop!!!!!read more

I can't rave more about what a professional Sarah is. As a bonus, people can text Sarah anything and she responds within minutes. She is one of the most professional people I've ever dealt with. She literally works 24/7, non-stop, with this rescue and it's her passion for saving cats lives and finding them homes that drives her, not money. All 4 the Love of Cats is a first-rate model rescue in that you are going through an actual process to ascertain that the cat(s) is a right fit to become your forever family member. You will be given lots of questions because they want to guarantee you're going to be the right fit for the cat so the cat doesn't end up getting returned as unfortunately, this is an issue that all rescues are dealing with. I'm so proud to support a local rescue like All 4 the Love of Cats where they have high standards, are always on call, and have built years worth of great relationships with veterinarians in the community. Help Cats & Come Play with Them! Want to play with cats, volunteer to help socialize and clean them, or are thinking about adoption? Come visit All 4 the Love of Cats in one of their 4 locations! It is like a Cat Disney World. All 4 the Love of Cats is a non-profit, no-kill 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization rescue which relies on tax-deductible donations and places stray and abandoned cats and kittens and are rescued from animal control. Operated from 4 locations: The Niles Petsmart, Skokie Petco, Palatine Petco, and Arlington Heights Petco which grants them space for the cats. Volunteer? Volunteers are needed to help clean cages while socializing with the cats. Also, fosters are needed & essential to the functioning of a no-kill rescue. It is a wonderful, fun way to come and visit all of the cats and play with them! Call or text for an appointment to interact with the cats at 847-302-6410. http://www.all4theloveofcats.com/

I understand the process of finding the perfect home is crucial for adoption but what's not right is how "SARAH" went about it while contacting me via text message. She clearly has no people skills and was very passive aggressive with me. I do not like how it was handled. I'd really appreciate it if you guys could have a word with her regarding speaking to applicants. I've posted the screenshots so further prove my point. This is unacceptable I should not be talked down on like this. I've been a cat owner since I was 15. I'm 28 now. Why am I being talked to like I own a rabid cat?

The volunteers were so kind and helpful, and all the cats appeared healthy and happy. The adoption process was a dream- Lynn went through their complete medical record of both cats and even scheduled us a time to come back in to see their in-house vet tech for their final vaccine. She also gave us a goodie bag of their current foods, toys, and a blanket for them. We could've taken them home that day, but they helped us set up a time with their foster family to pick them up a few days later after getting the house ready.

This is the first time I've brought a shelter animal home without major health issues. After a God-awful experience fostering for a cat shelter on the north side of the city -- which lied to me repeatedly about the foster cat's condition and then heartlessly euthanized her -- C.A.R.E. was 180 degrees different and a breath of fresh air. Often shelter cats are underweight and saddled with at least one type of parasite, despite the shelter's best efforts. That was not the case here; in fact, the cat got a clean bill of health on her first vet trip, which she handled like a pro, leaving a trail of admirers behind her. That said, extra credit to C.A.R.E. for treating the less robust kitties, with cancer and similar illnesses, that other shelters are too cheap to deal with. If you're thinking of adopting or fostering, come meet the animals here.
