My family & I adopted Angel (Clove) back in July '20. I initially found The Rescued Dog through…read moretheir instagram page (through a hashtag) & always kept always watched out to see when the perfect fit for our family would come up. The adoption process was incredibly simple. Since this was during covid, appointments were staggered & we got to do a meet & greet with the puppies available. I sat in a playpen with four playful puppies & watched as one found my lap, rested their face on my lap to watch their siblings continue to play. It was at that moment I knew it would be the puppy for us! I even remember one of the ladies running the meet up coming over & saying "I think your dog just chose their person." And she couldn't have been more right . Angel is smart, sassy, funny, loving, gentle, & has become the best surrogate mother/ older sister to my son. She was the first other being to feel my son kick in my belly (& nudged him back ), stuck by my side through the roughest pregnancy, & is the best dog I could have ever imagined! When we're ready to add another pup, we'll definitely be coming to The Rescued Dog again

I had a beyond expectation experience with Mindy and her daughter, even though at the end I didn't…read morechoose to go with the adorable and sweet boys Teddy and Khabib they brought for me to meet and interact with. Mindy provided a very personable, warm and extremely responsive service, made every effort to respond to my inquiry on Adopt-A-Pet and approving my application as well as just answering my questions and chatting with me about my potential cat baby's personality traits and his background story. She responded to emails as late as 11PM on a weekend and her demeanor was always welcoming and reassuring, like an old, caring friend. Mindy's words and actions convey that she truly truly love all of her rescued cat babies and she only wants what's best for them and she works extremely hard to find them good homes. I was very sad that neither cat babies from her rescue matched the particular personality I was looking for (I was trying to fill this big hole in my heart with the tragic loss of a stray cat named Cookie I cared for) and I really wished that given all the hard work she and her daughter put into, I'd adopt either Teddy or Khabib. Despite these big, affectionate sweet boys were not the best match I was searching for, I don't think any less of them, I sincerely hope they will find their forever home they deserve and I cannot be more grateful for Mindy's time, patience and understanding she's extended me and my family. If I had more capacity for an additional cat baby in the future after finding THE ONE, Mindy and her rescue is the first place I'd check out. If you are also searching for your feline soulmate, please look no further!!

I was going to leave this place a 1 star review. But after messaging back and forth, and actually…read moreunderstanding a few things. They get a 5 star.. I went to Petsmart to adopt a kitten names Cookies. I filled out the application, and was told by Petsmart to call them and see if I could get an immediate answer. I called them 17 times, no answer.....I was livid... I was even more upset when I get the notification via text message, that they would not allow me to adopt Cookies because I said we would "Declaw" if he started scratching or getting aggressive....I didn't even know what that meant...Again, I was pissed... We were messaging back and forth for well over 30 minutes and they explained to me what declawing was, and why it was bad for cats. Thank you, I was given useful information of something I knew nothing about. Granted, Cookies, was going to live his best life with us, but it wasn't meant to be. On to the next.

We got to take a tour of the Food Bank the other day, and it's beautiful and well-organized, with a lot more amenities than you'd expect. There's a beautiful clean warehouse and freezers, with high volume rolling pallet racks, as well as a separate area for personally donated items. They have a large training kitchen that's used for food preparation and safety classes. There's outdoor space for education and events, as well as some grow areas for fruits and vegetables. Everything is well-organized and well-labeled. The staff is super friendly. I'm not sure this place needs a review - it's not the sort of place you'd come to shop - but it's a great organization and it deserves your support!
