My son has been part of White Stag for four years, and I couldn't be more grateful for the…read moreexperience. I still remember when he first attended Summer Camp as a Candidate. He came home with messy hair, dust all over his clothes, and a huge smile on his face. He excitedly told me that one day he wanted to become Staff so he could help other kids. Over these four years, I've watched him grow in so many ways. He learned practical skills like packing and teamwork, made lifelong friends, became more confident, and--most importantly--became more willing to help and encourage others. I truly believe his White Stag experience will be one of those precious memories he carries with him for the rest of his life. A heartfelt thank you to Connie, Steve, Tim, and all the adult staff for your time, patience, encouragement, and dedication. What you give these kids goes far beyond a summer camp--it's an experience that helps shape who they become.

My neighbor suggested White Stag Monterey when I was looking for a week-long overnight camp in the…read morewilderness, free of electronic devices and not breaking my bank. Its leadership curriculum wasn't even on my radar at first. I expected my son to be angry at me when I picked him up after the graduation ceremony at the end of the summer camp. To my surprise, my defiant teenager thanked me for signing him up: He loved his independence without his parents; he made many new friends and met his role model in the youth staff who ran the entire camp. (Adult staff there are responsible for safety, meals, and guidance. ) He requested to join the youth leadership program that fall. Next summer, he led a group of five small kids and had a bittersweet experience of "being a parent." My husband and I certainly had some good laughs. Once, I lost patience with him and did not give him a chance to explain himself. He "calmly" asked me to read the effective counseling section in his White Stag Leadership training binder. In short, this program helps not only my child grow, but also us parents grow. I can't recommend White Stag Monterey more. By the way, White Stag Monterey are one of the key helpers in Monterey Half Marathon and Big Sur Marathon. Those enthusiastic kids provide consistent high energy for all runners at the snack tent.

I applied as a foster (never fostered a dog before) with AFRP in 2024. My experience was very…read moregood. I submitted an online application asking for a smaller dog and my preference for a poodle mix. They responded within a couple of days, as I recall, and asked a few more questions. After a few days, they contacted me with a possible match, explaining he was a senior poodle mix with a few medical issues. They work closely with Hitchcock Animal Services (county shelter) and had several dogs that had issues and needed a rescue with a strong foster program. They brought "Bernie" over, and I became a foster mom with full support from AFRP. They provided guidance and everything from beds/blankets to toys and even food! They provided the vet services to help Bernie be the best dog he could be. They invited me to various events (and even a TV spot!) to show off Bernie but unfortunately dogs with medical issues can be a little harder to get adopted. So after six months, I fell in love and became a "foster win" and adopted him. To this day, AFRP considers me part of their alumni family and invites me to activities such as local parades or fun events. They have a variety of dogs and cats, young to old, healthy to some having medical challenges, and work hand-in-hand with several shelters to help find fosters and ultimately final homes! I found their offices to be clean and functional, although if they were bigger, they could help more animals. I use Yelp frequently and know I make decisions based on reviews. I wanted to provide a positive and more recent outcome than some older comments which I feel are no longer applicable. The last note I will make is that as of 2024, they have new executive and support staff who are fantastic. So please consider discovering this great local rescue organization. AFRP have been around for a while but today, I find they are an excellent organization always improving on their processes and staff. So please GO FOSTER! It's fun, rewarding, and inexpensive. You get lots of love in return.

In 2019 I found the website for AFRP made an appointment to stop by and see the dogs that were on…read moresite and talk about having a visit with a possible dog in foster. I chose an adorable little dog named Oscar. Next was becoming "eligible", yes eligible, to take in a dog from a "rescue". A paid foster (her words) then brought Oscar to my home for me to meet and fall in love with. The foster mom was too busy on her phone and with her teenager to give me information. After waiting over a week for a response I was then told by a woman with AFRP I did not qualify! The AFRP inspector that had came over obliterated my house. Apparently there was nothing good about my house and a rescue couldn't possibly be homed here. A little bit about me; I am disabled and home 90% of my life. I decided to go to an actual rescue in Salinas, CA. Monterey County animal services. Where I was told I was an ideal candidate since I'm home all the time but perfectly fine to take care of a dog walks etc. I paid a total of $100 to Salinas Animal Shelter for my chosen dog (Piper) to have a full hysterectomy. Including putting a microchip and doing vaccines. After rescuing Piper I found out from Salinas Animal Shelter employees that AFRP procured all of the "most desirable" animals from Salinas Animal Shelter. Salinas Animal Shelter's requirements before adoption is spay or neuter microchip and vaccines before they will relinquish animals. Yet AFRP fees for me to "rescue" Oscar was over $300! They are not a rescue! They are a facility to purchase animals that have been procured from a shelter. I would never ever recommend AFRP to anyone and any person that mentions this facility I tell my story to. If you want to support a actual rescue go to Salinas Animal Shelter. Yes it's further away and far sadder than going to the plush AFRP site. Salinas Animal Shelter had puppies kittens senior dogs big & small. My dog is 9 pounds for those that say it's OK to buy a dog because small dogs are not in shelters. Since then I have had to lean on Peace Of Mind Rescue in Pacific Grove California. It would be impossible for me to give an adequate review. They have helped me financially, with Emergency temporary foster options and delivering & returning Piper to an emergency vet hospital for an MRI and spinal surgery several hours from my home. They are angels, please support Peace Of Mind Dog Rescue if you can! AFRP should not have the name rescue in their title.

There are no bargains here, you'll be paying more than ebay or Etsy on items that they get for free. Why don't they markdown items that don't sell? They wont negotiate on their prices either. This is a strict business which doesn't care if you return to patronage. They don't support our community, only their cause. And how do they support our veterans? I have no idea because they won't tell us. They should put out a new letter that documents what they're doing for our veterans with all of our donations. My husband is a proud veteran but gets no benefits from here. Oh, only a10% discount, and only if you have your discharge paperwork. There are NO BARGAINS HERE. They rarely have sales, only once in while and rarely have free things, items that won't sell but are basically broken down garbage which belongs in the landfill, with the exception of books, lp's and dvd's or vhs. Nothing good or useful. Moreover, the staff is unwilling to negotiate prices, indicating a strict business approach that does not prioritize customer loyalty. They are not friendly and somewhat rude and snotty, especially the young man cashier, he's just rude and uncaring. I find it disconcerting that they scrutinize donations and selectively accept only items they deem saleable. As a result, we no longer donate to this organization. Why do I come back? With hopes that some day it will get better. Especially after reading all the similar negative and disparaging reviews, it's not just me who sees all the unfavorable things here. Its our community speaking, please listen to your community and act accordingly.
