Then I saw Sidney's little face and fell in love. When I arrived to meet her my heart fell again for her Sister, London. They are two of the sweetest little Souls. We have 2 older dogs and after 3 weeks... they are finally comfortable and playing now. Thank you Isabell

I called several kitten/cat animal sanctuaries, Paw Parent was the only one to call me back. I was…read moreblessed they just had an adoption and the room for the cats would be ready in 3 days. The mom was a stray, she had 4 kittens in a neighbor's garage. I brought all 5 to my home and kept them until the time came to bring them to Paw Parent in West Lancaster. I come to visit them every Monday. The cats are now spayed and ready for adoption. The owner and her help work so hard keeping all of the dogs and cats feed and happy. They need volunteers to keep the work load down. They really care about these animals. So sad very few people will adopt a BIG DOG.

Let's start by saying how awesome the girls at the front were. Especially Kelly and Cheryl. You can…read moretell there heart was with the animals finding good homes. They truly love helping the animals and it shows. All of the gentleman that we're working with the dogs outside were extremely helpful in helping me find and do meet and greets with the animals. I also met Nelson the lead at the shelter and he was an absolute doll. You can tell his heart is with the shelter and the animals. The shelter itself was massive and sooo many dogs that need to be saved. With all that being said you have to have one bad apple in the bunch and that was sergeant Matthew ( can't remember his last name but it was long) let's just say that was my only negative thing to say about this pound. I had an interaction with him that was unfortunately very unpleasant. Field sergeant Matthew was rude and came across as belittling and passive-aggressive during our conversation. Instead of being helpful or respectful, the tone felt dismissive and unprofessional. I truly support the mission of this pound and the work they do for animals, which is why the interaction was so disappointing. I hope management encourages better communication so visitors and adopters feel respected and leave with adopting a pet and not with a bad taste in there mouth. I would 1,000 times over and over recommend this shelter. They are high kill shelter but it's not the shelter's fault it's the people in the community that do not spay and neuter and treat their animals The way they should be treated. Thank you again to the staff that made it a pleasant visit and helped me find the newest addition to the family.

I brought a stray dog into this shelter because I genuinely thought it was the right thing to do,…read moreand the entire experience turned into something upsetting and disappointing. Before coming in, I took the time to ask around to see if the dog belonged to anyone. No one recognized her. She was hiding when I found her, which already told me she was scared. I still brought her in hoping she would be safe and cared for. When I arrived at the shelter, I stood waiting at the front while the woman at the desk was on her phone. There was no clear direction or sense of urgency. I was eventually told someone would come help me, but the initial interaction already felt unprofessional and unwelcoming. When a staff member finally came out, she began scanning the dog for a microchip. During that process, the dog who was clearly frightened!!! bit her. Instead of handling the situation calmly and professionally, everything immediately turned chaotic. The dog ran, and in that moment, I instinctively called out "Bella," which is the name my son had given her while we had her. The staff member then aggressively questioned me, asking "IS THAT YOUR DOG?" in a way that felt accusatory. I explained that she was not my dog and that my son had simply named her, but I was still met with attitude. Meanwhile, my cousin who had been in the car, ran over to help after seeing the dog loose. She is not trained staff, yet she ended up being the one to physically grab the dog while multiple employees stood around watching. One employee even said something along the lines of "if the dog is comfortable, let her grab it," which was extremely concerning. Why are untrained people being expected to handle a scared animal in a situation like that? Once the dog was secured, the way she was handled was very upsetting to watch. The leash was pulled so tightly that it looked like she was being choked. The dog was clearly terrified!!!! so much so that she urinated and defecated on herself in that moment. Seeing an already scared animal be handled like that was honestly heartbreaking. I understand that working with stray animals is unpredictable and that bites can happen. However, that is part of the job, and it does not justify taking frustration out on the public or mishandling a frightened animal. What should have been a simple intake turned into a stressful, disorganized situation where there was a lack of professionalism, communication, and compassion. I came in trying to help, and instead left feeling blamed and disturbed by what I witnessed. People who bring in stray animals are doing the community a service. They should be met with guidance, professionalism, and care ! not confusion, hostility, and poor handling of animals. I truly hope this shelter improves both its staff training and the way situations like this are managed, for the sake of both the animals and the people trying to help them.

This is no shelter, it is a hell hole for animals. I wanted to adopt a dog I saw posted online and…read morethey killed her before I got a chance to do it. The dog had only been in their "care" for a week or so. She was not given a chance, her and her three siblings were killed. Cold, heartless and evil. Now I'm left feeling guilty for not getting there in time. At minimum they should have been given SEVERAL MONTHS to be adopted, not several days!! Insane and immoral.

Why can't I give 0 stars?? :)…read more STAY AWAY FROM THIS BREEDER! Simply cannot stress this enough!! She gives a "health guarantee" but it doesn't cover anything he came home with. We got him tested right away and found 4 different parasites. Additionally, when we went to pick him out, at 6 weeks of age, she tried to send him home with us. I thought that was irresponsible as I have always read it is better for them to be with their mom until 8 weeks. First red flag. But we were already so attached to him we HAD to get him! When we came back to get him, there were more red flags. In her home were MULTIPLE dogs giving birth and who has JUST gave birth. Her walls were lined with crates of dogs in labor and brand new babies. It was shocking. But again, we were already attached to our puppy and did not want to back out. Also, we have been to her "farm" and it is a dirt field in the middle of Adelanto.... nothing like the green fields she has in her "Disney videos." So once we got home, he had chronic diarrhea which was a result of the parasites he had. We finally got it resolved, but he will always have a lowered immune system and sensitive GI track, according to our vet. Things got worse. When we first contacted Denise about the parasites- not complaining or asking for money- simply letting her know so she could get the other pups on antibiotics she completely ignored us. Another red flag. Why doesn't she care enough to even say, "thank you", or "I will look into it"? Grr. I am no extreme animal rights activists, jsut a noraml person who thinks animals deserve basic rights... like not to be sick. And if they are- get them the reight medication! Be a dog breeder, fine I obviously have nothign against dog breeding or I would not have made the purchase. But I strongly believe it needs to be done RESPONSIBLY; not with greed. We also found out she lied to the AKC about the age of per puppies, more red flags. I decided to warn other possible customers via Yelp. We LOVE our little guy and would not ever change having him, but I also felt obligated to warn others as his vet bills cost thousands!! And that's where this simple bad buying experience took a turn for the worse. She has since harassed, lied, submitted false police reports, posted and distributed private information, and relentlessly attacked me and my boyfriend. she has her friends call and use scare tactics to try and get us to remove our posts. (And from what I have read, which she has since deleted, the other Yelpers who left bad reviews!) Why didn't she just respond with "I am so sorry you had a bad experience, how can we resolve it?"... or ANYTHING else other than personally attacking us?? Instead we got stalked, harassed, and victimized. The last 4 pictures on her Yelp site are of OUR dog, cute, isn't he?:)- she is posting pics of OUR dog without OUR permission just out of spite (real professional, Denise). We have asked her to remove them, but she will not. Another reason you want to stay away from this company. She has also admitted to fake attorney calling to threaten us, and that she "enjoys" her "puppy mill business and the money she makes." Stay away. Not only will she give you a sick and skiddish puppy from an over-bred environment, but you will experience the WORST customer service of your life. I feel so bad for those poor puppies up there!! Not worth it.. keep looking. Oh, and she also operates under sweetwheatens.com so stay clear. Another red flag to potential buyers: Denise, owner of FF, has written her OWN review on Yelp- unethical to say the least. She also has an account acting as the "manager" named Adam in which she changed all of her responses. BUYERS BEWARE! Good luck!!!

You may contact the San Bernardino Humane society at (909)386-1400 ext. 215. You can also contact Adelanto Animal Care and Control at (760)246-2301.
