We drove up from Roseville because of a puppy we saw on the website. We arrived we were able to meet the pup and hang out with her for awhile. Unfortunately we couldn't get her that day because our application wasn't filled out before we came up, but it was ok. We instantly fell in love with a pup there. 2 days later we got a phone from the rescue saying they approved application and that we can pick up the pup. We drove up a couple days later, they were thorough and gave us all the medical background. In all, we couldn't be happier with our pup and the process of getting her.

He's also visited the vet clinic I've been taking my fur babies to for several years & has a clean bill of health from them. Pros: - Very responsive to my phone calls. - Friendly! - Puppy was as promised, clean, healthy, & I was provided guidance on his current diet, vaccinations, etc. - 20% off a local pet store in Yuba City which did help me save some money on his 1st set of toys & training treats. Things to Consider: - Unable to visit the shelter itself. Not something that bothered me too much as I assumed their small animal rescue is a private residence & I instantly fell in love with Lincoln. Still something to think about though if you want the chance to play with your potential new pet at the rescue to see if you're a good fit for the pet. - Varying pricing according to how much I paid ($750) vs. what other reviews say. They do seem pricier than most rescues I've experienced overall. - My puppy wasn't fully vaccinated or neutered before adoption. Those are add'l costs you may have to consider if you're interested in a young pet from them, but they did promise a $75 refund if you provide proof of the spay/neuter surgery & request the refund. Would I recommend them? Yes, based on my experience.

How sad. (I did try with another rescue as well, but they were more ethical with how they did things, but not the right fit)

The good review comes from the fact that our little guy is doing great, he just turned 3 about 15 days ago and he does great on all his physicals from his vet on a bi-annual basis. I just decided to check out Google, before we set off on looking for a second puppy soon, and wanted to look them up again because I didn't see them on Petfinder anymore where we found them the first time. This led to the Yelp reviews that I read and they kind of conflict with my original belief of PPR. I don't know why I'm even writing this, as it seems they no longer adopt out puppies under this name anymore and maybe they've changed names or w/e but maybe this helps others anyway. I wanna start out by saying my sympathies go to those who got a puppy and ended up taking them to the vet over and over again just to see the dog not make it and still had to be put down. As a dog owner myself that is my biggest nightmare to hear something bad showed up on the report from the vet each time we take him in. I do believe that all puppies deserve a good home and unfortunately I could only accommodate two at this time or I'd love to adopt them all even with the inherent issues. So to the review and my new reflections on PPR now. When we got our little guy, Pickle, he definitely appeared to be malnourished, we got him at 8 weeks old, he had a slightly bloated belly and we could never figure out what was going on, our vet took a look at him and thought he had worms in his belly. He never had any trouble eating, but some other reviews mentioned that their puppies seemed to come from a filthy environment, and I want to say that I feel that Pickle may have come from one too. For at least 5-6 months he would constantly try to eat his own feces and we had to keep a strict eye on him or he'd eat it. We researched the condition, and it was either because he had a fear of being hit for pooping in the wrong place so he was trying to hide the poop? The poop wasn't cleaned regularly in his environment so he felt it was dirty and took the initiative to clean it himself? Or he was underfed and lacked the nutrients so he kept trying to eat his poop so he would get the nutrients from the poop a second time, or worms in his belly took all the nutrients so he lacked it? Anyway I would say that it may appear he was neglected during his first 8 weeks. Second we met the adoption ladies at a pet store in Yuba City, which I did not think strange at the time, but now it seemed odd that they wouldn't have a real location to meet us. We had originally thought they were two older ladies and in fear of violent people they wanted the safety of the pet store employees around when they were doing adoptions. Anyway, the store did seem to know them, and they appeared to be regulars there. It is one of those things, you are high on the excitement of seeing the new puppies that your not really trying to analyze the rest of the situation. The third odd thing was they only took cash, we were happy to pay it, it was under the impression that it was to cover the first two shots, and we hope he received those shots. It didn't matter we went ahead and gave him a new round of shots with the consultation of his vet anyway, better safe than sorry. I don't know what was the cause of all the other puppies who had parvo, but our vet told us that the year we brought Pickle home that there was a huge epidemic of parvo, and we did not let Pickle go out much at all fearing he would contract the deadly disease. So had I not seen the other reviews before writing this, I would have probably given the place 5 stars, heck I would have given them everything in exchange for my little guy, but now that I read some of the stuff, it gave me a wack in the head and looking back I could see some of the discrepancies now. I would say buyer beware, unfortunately these are puppies not cars, you don't get to recall them and the puppies didn't ask to be abused either. If there is anyway to shut down the puppy mills from the source that would be the only answer. I don't care where Pickle came from, puppy mill, or the "park" his original owners left him at that PPR was telling us, or even from a landfill, he changed our lives and we're both grateful for it.
