Total negligence and zero accountability…read more We adopted a sweet, well-behaved female dog this past Friday. She was severely underweight, which we were aware of. To avoid stomach issues from switching food, we were feeding her small amounts as recommended. From Friday to Monday she barely pooped and was vomiting. We thought it was the food change. On Monday she finally pooped and vomited - both were full of fabric scraps and pieces of clothing. We took her to the shelter's vet clinic today (Same Monday) - within the 30-day post-adoption medical window they advertise. They refused to take responsibility, saying she showed no symptoms when she left, so it's not their problem. Their excuse was that she "must have eaten something at our house." That is impossible. She was supervised at all times and had no access to rags. They told us "there's nothing they can tear apart in the kennels" - which is false. Anyone who has been there can see the kennels have blankets, towels, and toys inside. We complained at the front desk and were told the manager had already left and nothing could be done, but that "it shouldn't be like that and it's wrong." So even staff agreed it was wrong. I understand shelters are overcrowded and overwhelmed, but this kind of oversight can kill an animal. A foreign body obstruction is life-threatening. This is complete negligence and a total lack of interest in helping after adoption. If you adopt here, document everything, photograph the kennel, and get a private vet check immediately. I would not trust their 30-day health policy.

Wildlife Rescue of Dade County provides free educational programs to schools and community organizations. We train, equip, and deploy, worldwide as necessary, personnel to assist local groups in animal rescue after disasters." I found out about this organization through a friend. She put together a volunteering event through Benevity on Cinco De Mayo (May 5th). A lot of us showed up to volunteer. Paula and Lloyd, who are the owners, were not expecting so many volunteers, so they were a bit shocked and did not know what to do. However, we were able to get a lot done. After Hurrican Irma, the property got destroyed a bit. Debris was everywhere. We got to help clear the porch area, clean the cages/crates, pressure clean the floor and outdoor cage areas. We also organized some tools and items into several bins. Some of us cut the grass by the porch with scissors so that it'd be easier to maneuver around for now. We really tried our best in making a dent during this volunteering event. We learned that they rescue wildlife animals and release them back to the wild. While taking of of the animals, they do not let them get used to human contact and affection, so that they will survive better in the wild. We got to see baby raccoons, a baby fox, a baby possum, a baby owl, baby birds, chickens, and few other animals. We learned that a lot of bird moms purposely leave their babies on the group for a few weeks so that they can learn to fend for themselves. However, a lot of people mistaken that the parents are purposely neglecting their kids, but they are not. So if you see baby birds on the floor, do not pick them up and do not assume that they are lost or neglected. It's really great to see what Paula and Lloyd are doing. They are truly genuinely good people who try to help the community on top of their full time jobs. They could definitely use all the help they can get. This is a great place to volunteer for. If you find an injured animal, contact them first before bringing them to the Wildlife Rescue location.

First things first ... I think people need to understand the role of the rescue. When I went into…read morethis, I did my research, and many were disheartened because they were turned away or never called, and the typical reaction was "What the heck? I am trying to do a good thing here, and these rescues are not letting me!" Yes, you may get turned away. Know why? Because those dogs ended up there for a reason, and the rescue wants to make sure they never get surrendered again. So to some, the application, calls, vet checks, reference checks, and home visits might seem a bit much, but there is a reason for those steps - finding a forever home for these dogs. So if you love dogs, you should be happy they are being responsible and careful in their decisions. My experience with DRSF was nothing short of great. From Nora the matchmaker to Brett who completed the home visit to Laura who fostered my little Hans (now Rupert) and his brother ...these people care about these dogs, and they are doing this with heart. The dogs are taken care of and loved while in their care, which I am not sure you can say about puppy stores and in some cases, breeders. If you are looking to support an organization that reflects a solid mission and that is honest and forthright, look no further. I am very happy with my little doxie and with my experience, and you will be too. :-)

I am a dachshund owner. I have always owned Dachshunds. I wanted to rescue a dachshund to "do the…read moreright thing". This rescue is so unprofessional! I accommodated the volunteer who needed to do a house visit during the day between 11 and 12. I made it clear that the day she was visiting. I only had a window between 11 and 1130. I have video footage of her checking out packages that were delivered at my front door while she was waiting. When she came into my house, she was upset that I was OK with her leaving her shoes on. She said she needed to see the upstairs of my house which I questioned. I said I don't allow strangers in the second story of my house as that's where our bedrooms are. She stated if I wanted to adopt from their organization, they need to ensure every space is safe for the dog. At that point, I was extremely upset as she kept pushing that she needed to see upstairs. My tone then went from being happy to rescue to irritating and questioning this organization. She could see how happy my current Dachshund was. The other item that she brought a point up was "cables on the floor". These cables were from a fan that had been plugged into the wall as my downstairs air-conditioning unit was not functioning and a cable attached to my shop vac that I used to sweep my floors. I said to her "as you can see I have a dog and nothing is wrong with the cables. And I don't need to explain to you why these two pieces of items are sitting in my house" At 4 o'clock that same day I received the email denying my application. I responded back to the email including copies of the text messages and videos of the woman at my door and still three weeks later. I have not had a response to my email.
