As with many organizations, when you fill out an application, no specific pet is guaranteed...Someone may have inquired before you, etc. I truly believe this organization cares about the pets and is very diligent in vetting applicants. My son adopted from a different organization because they had the puppy he and his partner wanted . I have read reviews in the negative about not having all information on the dogs health. My son's puppy came from a foster home that let him eat things he should not have and it was horrible, they were also not told that the dog suffered from Parvo and a heart condition....These organizations do the best they can with the information they have, especially when animals are taken off the streets...

We have to rehome her after an incident with my son so I posted on a Facebook page where another person said she had an issue with them where they lied about knowing their dog as they had only gotten her a few hours before and they ended up needing to rehome her because of dangerous circumstances too. They are also unwilling to help us with the rehoming process. I would highly recommend going through a different rescue.

We adopted our puppy over the weekend 12/10/16 adoption event by PawSafe. From reading the previous…read morereviews, I gathered that it's best to get there first thing bright and early. My husband and I woke up at 5:30 AM and got there at 7:00 AM. When we got there the line was already beginning to build up, we were the 17th family in line. The first in line had arrived from Massachusetts at 7:00 PM (the night before) and camped out the store for the night! They got the puppy they came for - Molly :) There were a total of about 30 to 40 families. Thankfully my husband decided to pack a couple of park chairs and a blanket for the cold December morning. We were surrounded by friendly folks ready to adopt a puppy and we had a wonderful social time that helped the time pass effortlessly. At 8:00 AM the volunteers started appearing. One of the very good things they did is have us start signing in so we could secure our number and then go out and get breakfast or coffee instead of waiting till the event start time out in the cold. They asked us to be back by 9:15 AM so they could promptly start maneuvering the crowd at 9:30 AM. We decided to go out to breakfast at a nearby diner with some folks whom we had just met at the event waiting line behind us. As soon as we got back around 9:10 AM, the doors to PetSmart were open and puppies lined up in crates with their foster families. There was an air of excitement and everyone including the friendly volunteers were in high spirits. They had families line up in a separate aisle, in the order of the sign in. They called out names and the families walked over to the next aisle over with the puppies. Even while waiting in line people were happy and social with a lot of sense of humor that kept everyone laughing. The older dogs were being walked outside by their foster families. The whole process was seamless and well done especially considering it was being done by a volunteer organization. They even had puppy take home gift bags with dog food with dog treats. What was more impressive was the the gift bag was tailored size specific! We adopted a large breed puppy at 8 weeks old and the bag had large breed kibbles. This was extremely helpful since we were to overwhelmed to shop aa soon as we found the puppy of our choice cuddled in our arms. They had instructions for us on diet and care, all the vaccination and health paperwork to take to our vets. All the information we needed was ready in hand. I would like to extend our thanks to all the wonderful volunteers and foster families for effortlessly working and giving hope to so many animals to find families and make a forever home for these helpless creatures. Thank you and God bless each and everyone of you! Cheers always, Kempshall and Sanya McAndrew (Proud dad and mom to puppy Hook)

Like any vet - they specialize in different things. Is the front desk and communication disorganized? Yes. Are they very kind and well intentioned? Also yes. Do I come all the way here for every cat? No. I currently have 3 different places on rotation for various reasons. Come here when traditional approaches aren't working Come here when you want an honest, empathetic real talk conversation Personally, I came for the cryosurgery because not only does my cat have a tumor in her nose (and already received targeted radiation from ASC), she also has skin cancer lesions EVERYWHERE. This procedure WORKED!! If you've been down this road, you'll know what I've spent. It's bought years of good quality of life. For everyone complaining about price, look at the location.

Dr. Jenna, now owns Smith Ridge, was super attentive to my Sadie who went for ozone therapy. She spent 3 days there.

When we adopted then Rusty/now Brady, he was eating Blue Buffalo food...definitely not the cheapest, but such a wonderful product. I was amazed to see all natural food fed at a shelter, apparently the owner of Blue Buffalo lives close by and donates all their food...AMAZING! We are constantly getting compliments on his coat from groomers who ask what we feed him...apparently it's that good. I highly recommend this shelter. Be prepared for a lot of questioning, they are pretty thorough with their screening process but I guess it's to ensure that the dog isn't sent from one house to another.
