We tried twice for the puppy. We have a 6 ft wood fence with grass and a dog door. Our older dog would have helped train the puppy.

At 3yrs old & didn't know much (about anything.) Like a newborn puppy, he had to learn about doorways, windows, stairs, toys...everything! He's the sweetest, kindest, cutest most precious lil prince.

We are approved, but by the time we get an appointment, all the pups that would fit our lifestyle are gone. We have tried repeatedly to set up appointments, but nothing ever works out. We are frustrated to say the least. We understand the need for some of the strict rules, but some of them are just petty. It's not easy for older folks to drop everything to drive to Peyton. At this point, we are very discouraged. Some things just aren't meant to be. The dogs are lucky to have you, but we could also give one of these precious souls a wonderful home.

We have had amazing experiences with ABRT's training classes! From day one, it was clear that they…read moretruly care about both the dogs and their owners. Their positive reinforcement methods made such a difference -- our dog not only learned quickly, but actually enjoyed the process. The trainers are patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. They took the time to explain the "why" behind the techniques and made sure we felt confident continuing the training at home. We've seen such an improvement in behavior, focus, and overall confidence. If you're looking for effective, humane, and science-based training that strengthens the bond between you and your dog, I can't recommend ABRT highly enough. Worth every penny!

I am sure I will be unpopular with my review- after all it is an animal shelter and who doesn't…read morewant to love an animal shelter and give 5 stars?!?! It is not the shelter itself that is the issue, and the shelter is doing such good work! Truly! We have done multiple donations to TCRAS financially as well as with supplies. We have adopted three times from here. We adopted two absolutely wonderful dogs (they were "trauma" dogs, but we worked really hard with both of them to get them through many of their issues), and we adopted one cat that apparently was adopted out several times, and those adoptions failed (including ours). For the cat adoption, I do believe allowing your home animals to meet a potential animal you wish to adopt is crucial to seeing how they will get along, if it is a good match. This is not allowed at TCRAS, and that was a huge barrier with the cat adoption. My concern is that I do not feel that everything is truly disclosed to the adopter when the process happens. I know that not everything might be known, but just basic "obvious" things are not disclosed. The other concern/issue I have is that while some of the staff are just incredible and wonderful...others treat you like you are not in the "sorority," and they cannot be bothered with you. I tried with both of our dogs to call/email/or come in every 3-4 months to provide updates and let staff see how the dogs were thriving. I was dismissed as if I was a nuisance, so I stopped. I even wanted to volunteer with walking the dogs, but the attitude that was shown to me discouraged pursuing this. In addition, I found two strays that I had brought into TCRAS and when I called Angela answered; I was trying to tell her the stray dogs had some major gestational issues and to please let the owners know when the owners were found. Apparently the stray dogs I found are "frequent flyers" with being allowed to run around town, and Angela dismissed me acting like I was the problem for bringing them into TCRAS. It was quite disheartening. While we love our dogs and we take our pets to Dr. Conrad, we have decided that TCRAS is just not the right "fit" with the attitude and individuals that are the front line workers.

The volunteers give you 2 pages worth of things to expect - and that they try to adopt out the animals the same day they get them and then it's your responsibility to take said animal to the vet. I was very informed and I am grateful for this rescue and everything everybody complained about is in that 2 page document. Of course the animal is going to smell bad, the animal was homeless! As a new parent, it is your responsibility to bathe him. We took our new rescue to Wag n Wash and had a blast soaking him down. I gave the rescue a 4 tho because of how disorganized the event was. I've never been to an adoption event before so I'm not sure what I was expecting.

The only pleasant person we spoke to was the woman handling the final adoption paperwork. We went to meet a little female terrier mix named Muddy. We got three different stories about Muddy from three different people. As we were filling out paperwork we learned more about her that could have been a deal breaker if introduced at the appropriate time. During our meet and greet we were asked "Do you have any questions about Muddy?" To which we responded by telling the woman about the home that she would potentially be going into to feel for whether or not it would be a good fit. She responded with "Sorry. I dont know Muddy." Not Helpful. Why even ask? Our strictly 10 minute meet and greet had good results, my brother proceeded with adoption based on the info we were given (lived with dogs and children), took her home, and quickly found her to be VERY dog aggressive with their other pet. Absolutely ridiculous. This location is setting these animals up to fail. Its like they don't even want to adopt out their dogs.
