And reading can sometimes be the only way for people to get an idea of which might be the right fit. So I wanted to share my honest review of my experience with Darlene and her rescue. I have adopted through multiple rescues in my adult life and adopting through Fur-ever paws dog rescue has been extremely positive. The adoption process was straightforward, and I appreciated that it required a minimum of 30 minutes speaking with Darlene and meeting the pup my family was interested in. Logistics: The cost of the spay/neuter was in included in the adoption fee and they don't require you to have a fenced in yard which many shelters do. This opens the door up to people in apartments or in homes that don't have a fenced in yard to be able to adopt as long as they can provide adequate exercise in other ways. Yes the rescue address is a physical home address because none of these dogs stay in a shelter. They are all dispersed amongst foster homes, including Darlene's home. Some reviews I read before adopting through this rescue. We're concerned that there wasn't a shelter with cages... I think that's incredible that she's able to provide physical foster homes for all of the animals that she rescues. The adoption fees average around $400 I've also reviews left with people expressing that is too expensive... I don't understand how people expect to adopt an animal that's a 10 to 18 year commitment that won't invest $400 into them initially. You're not only paying for the adoption fee (remember this is a non profit) but also the unique experience of your future dog having decompressed and stayed in a real home with other people being socialized and cared for. It is completely understandable If $400 is out of someone's budget but then they shouldn't be adopting a dog at this time. Dogs cost way more than that if you're caring for them properly. Especially rescue dogs within the first few months. Experience with staff and owner: Getting to meet my dog for the first time was a really exciting experience. It was clear that Darlene was very knowledgeable and really cared about my dog going to the right home. Additionally, once we adopted Archie she wanted to stay in touch and get updates and photos with his progress. Recently, I went back to drop off some donations and brought Archie to come visit. Not only was she so excited to see him, but she also bought us his favorite bag of treats and gave us a long lead for free just because she really does care. We got extremely lucky with adopting the best tempered dog I've ever had the privilege of caring for. Even though Darlene didn't create my dogs temperament, she did provide a safe environment for him. So he could build his confidence, learn to trust people, socialize with other animals people and children. It gave him a foundation so he could move onto his forever family. This is my personal experience with this rescue and the staff. I hope my honest review helps future adapters make an informed decision on whether this is the right fit for them. It was for me and my family.

Otherwise, the process takes a little less than a few hours and totally worth it!

The…read moreadoption center is associated with the main location in Wilmington, DE, but doesn't have a Yelp specific page. My daughter and I visited this location to look at the dogs and cats. We have plans to adoption another dog possibly if we can find the right personality. Plus coming from a animal sheltering background of 20+ years, I cannot pass up an opportunity to visit any animal shelter. The lady working at the front desk - Kimberly D. was so kind and super friendly! She was so nice to my daughter who loves cats and wants to volunteer at a shelter when she is old enough. The lady showed us the cat room and talked to Giana about ways she can help animal shelters even though she isn't old enough to actually volunteer at a shelter. She told us how other kids would ask for animal supplies as birthday gifts instead of the usual gift for themselves. She showed us the dog areas where we got to see the dogs. Overall, our experience was the highlight of the day and I am truly grateful for Kimberly's kindness and enthusiasm for the work that she does. I'm sure she made an impact on my daughter as well!!!

I have taken my pets to Nonantum since it opened in the 80s. The founding owner was a hands-on vet…read morewho was personable, gave great care, yet still maintained the small-town vet vibe. Unfortunately, after her passing the business was taken over by a managing chain. It has now become just another big vet chain business with more automation but less customer service when it's most needed - making initial contact with the company to schedule an appointment. It's nearly impossible to call to schedule an appointment and speak with a live person. When calling, you get the option of leaving a message for a callback or holding on the line. the problem is that no one ever picks up. I've tried calling four times since December and each time I have yet to have a live person pick up my call from being on hold. I'm beginning to think it's time to downsize to a smaller practice where I can actually get a hold of someone when needed. Playing phone tag or email tag is no longer cutting it.

Both of them could often look at your dog and see what was wrong without expensive tests. Whenever possible they taught us how to care for our dogs at home rather then sending them to an emergency facility overnight. In September we found that our last dog had cancer. We chose palliative care for Hobbit and Dr. Woodcock helped us enjoy him for 4 more months. I never regretted driving from Wilmington all those years and if a foster appears I will be making that drive again. Special thanks to Kenny Roberts for keeping Debby's dream alive and going bigger. Great staff and much love was their winning recipe and it continues today.
