I had been looking for a dog to adopt for a few months, and my experiences with other rescues left me with a bad taste in my mouth - My experience with Pits R Us, however, left me with the feeling that while their primary goal is to match each pet with the right home (as it should be for any rescue!), they're not going to grill you about things like raw food diets (ew, I actually had another rescue demand that I feed their foster a completely raw diet if I adopted it, against veterinary advice), whether you're going to be with the dog 24/7 (who is?!), and believe it or not they will let you adopt one of their fosters even if you're not going to take it on 6-10 hour-long walks every day! Don't get me wrong, if they think a particular dog is not a good match for you or your lifestyle they will veto the adoption and try to steer you towards a pet more suitable for you and your lifestyle, but they just seem like real, genuine, honest people who do everything in the best interest of the pet and don't try to play god like some of the other rescues around this area. I have a few friends and acquaintances who have also adopted from this rescue, and we all had the same experience - great people with their hearts in the right place.

The staff is incredibly caring and truly takes the time to make sure both pets and owners feel comfortable. What really stands out is the level of compassion and dedication they show. I've also volunteered here, and seeing firsthand how gently and attentively they care for every animal only confirmed how special this place is. They go above and beyond, not just in medical care but in how they treat people, too. Their services are affordable and provide tremendous value, especially considering the quality of care you receive. It's rare to find a clinic that combines professionalism, heart, and accessibility so well. I highly recommend Animal Fix Clinic -- and if you're able to, consider donating to support the amazing work they do for our community's animals.

We enrolled our pit bull puppy, Daphne, in their four-week training program when she was about four months old, along with the Grow With Me program. Like most puppies, she was extremely energetic and still working on potty training, puppy nipping, jumping, house rules, and overall manners. Daphne came home like a completely different dog--in the best way! She was calmer, more confident, better mannered, and had a much stronger understanding of what was expected of her. One thing we especially appreciated was that no electronic collar was used during this stage of her training. After having a previous experience elsewhere where we felt one was relied on too heavily, this was really important to us. We also loved that Daphne received plenty of socialization and real-world exposure. Bridget took her into different environments, and we received regular pictures and updates on her progress and the areas they were continuing to work on. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and truly feel the investment was worth it. We're already looking forward to Daphne returning around eight months old for the next phase of her Grow With Me program and eventually working toward off-leash training. Thank you to Bridget, Tim, Amy, and the entire Clever Canine team for taking such great care of our pittie! We would absolutely recommend them!

We had maintained a nice foundation but felt it was appropriate based on a myriad of factors. We were placed with Emily and our experience was excellent. We knew Emily from many of our group trainings but had yet to do extensive one on one with her. Emily's approach is honest, consistent, soft (but firm) and very relatable. She was communicative in every way and made us feel safe. Given we had already done one camp we felt comfortable with the facility but each trainer brings their own nuance. Emily was clear and concise with each weekly update- she was really positive and had a ton of healthy feedback. Training is a huge investment of time and money.... Something we don't take lightly, but we have felt it was incredibly worth it both times. The continued support offered is 10/10, the communication is consistent and the general vibe is that everyone really wants to be there, including all the pups. Our dog has been home one full week, and we feel really good about the tools we've been given for continued success.

Over the years she and I went on many hikes together. She was always by my side. So very loyal. We added our Sons dog, a Shepsky, also adopted from Coppers Dream, to our family, as he was always traveling. Those two dogs spent many years together, always protective of me and of each other on our many hikes. I would periodically send in photos to CD, and always had a friendly reply. Almost like a family. One morning, up in ALanden Quicksilver Park, going up a steep narrow trail, they suddenly half turned and let rip with ferocious barks. A cougar came racing down the hill, I guess it wanted us for breakfast. Nope. Their utter ferocity in their barking and stance was one obstacle. The second was Bear Spray. That cougar decided quickly that this would not be a good way to start the day. Those two adopted dogs were Loyal, lovable, Protective, Goofy. Play ball? You bet. They loved swimming, exploring and making friends. My lab lived until she was 15. Our Shepsky passed a year or so before. Coppers Dream has always been professional, friendly and easy to approach. Now, I'm back looking for one more dog. Our young, female GSD is lonely without her big sister and big brother..

I have known Odessa for years and have so much respect for her incredible personal commitment to dog rescue. Most of the dogs 'roam' freely in her house, learning to get along with other dogs and with people. Puppies (and moms) stay in the puppy palace (a charmingly converted and furnished garage space). Rescuing and adopting dogs is very hard and very expensive work, since many dogs who were neglected or abused require a lot of love, medical care, and training. Please take any 'negative' reviews with a big grain of salt. All of us who have to deal with the public understand how unreasonable and uncharitable some people can be. This is a truly extraordinary woman who makes great sacrifices to rescue and place dogs in the best possible homes. It's an uphill battle with so many people allowing their dogs to breed and dumping them on rescue. And with some adopters/lookers who can be disrespectful of the process around placing dogs. Very few of us could do this work day in and day out with no reward other than seeing dogs go to the right guardians. Thank you to everyone who supports and adopts from rescue, saves lives, and appreciates those doing the really hard work. And please consider fostering a little dog if you can. It's a rewarding experience being part of the pipeline to forever homes.

I filled out the new client form on the website and got an email reply from Danielle the receptionist the next day offering an appointment Monday of the next week! That's less than a week between contact and appointment. The appointments have a one hour arrival window which I'd say it's pretty great! (I've had house maintenance appointments that were four hour long arrival windows...) The next day I got another email for the appointment confirmation. You have the option of clicking on a link, emailing, calling or texting to confirm the appointment. It's all very clear and easy and I love how there are so many options. The actual visit went well. Cats do what they want and will let you know through physical means if they are upset. Major kudos and thanks to Dr. Murray for being so patient and kind even when I cannot say the same about my cats. Dr. Murray is full of great information! While my cats are overweight she was very polite communicating the need for them to slim down for health reasons and how to do it. No starvation diets. I didn't feel shamed for letting them get overweight. Dr. Murray listened. As a pet guardian you know your pets best and how they will react to strangers and vets. She had many suggestions on lifestyle changes that could be done to improve my pets' well being including the Seresto collars need to be changed every 5 months vs 8 months because the fleas in this area are robust! Price wise I think it's well worth the money! For the two cats to get their rabies vaccines, exam, one of the cats to get a cortisone shot it came out to about $600. I'd gladly pay that to avoid the stress of stuffing a cat in a carrier, driving to the vet, waiting who knows how long, and the aftermath of coming home. (For reference at a vet in Suisun I paid over $400 and it took two trips for new dog vaccines and an exam.) Dr. Murray really made the vet process so much smoother and less stressful. I'm very glad to have found her and to now be in her client list.

Dr. Murray was so kind and compassionate and reassured us we were giving our dog the best gift, which was to end her life humanly. The entire process was very calm and peaceful. As someone who has never had to do this before, I had no idea what to expect and was expecting the worst. Although it was incredibly hard to say goodbye to our beloved dog, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I feel very much at peace with our decision. Dr. Murray is truly an incredible person and you can tell she has a deep love for all animals.

When I doubled back months after adoption with the female volunteer about PJ's awful demeanor, she commented that he has anger issues towards women and had to cut him off herself months prior. We did not receive any medical records for our cats including any microchip information. We were never told that one of our cats was extremely sick with respiratory issues when Fuzzy Butt Rescue first obtained them (I found this out 1.5 yrs into ownership after issues had already arose). We were never told that male, neutered cats are prone to urinary tract infections or we would have adopted female cats; I am a solo mom with 100% of everything for my child so my plate is full as is. We were never told that a key piece of healthy lifestyle for male, neutered cats in preventing UTIs is room to run around before my 10-yo son and I brought them home to our 700 sq ft condo. When confronted with health issues with our pets, PJ refused to make any effort to help us get them care. He was insulting and called me "cheap" for not being willing to spend thousands of dollars on testing despite that I took our cat to 2 emergency clinic visits after working hours the first of which was around midnight before a big job I had booked for the next day. He said he would take them back vs actually helping us to resolve the issue. Our cat's UTI was resolved with a $10 homeopathic product on Amazon that has over 10K reviews and a 4.4 star rating. He called that product "a hoax" but it worked in ONE day once I had time to stay home with the cat and treat him. PJ insulted me for even thinking of trying the homeopathic product vs agreeing to thousands of dollars of testing as a first resort. This guy is the absolute worst. If you want a pleasant and professional pet adoption process, go somewhere that has built a documented reputation in that vein which provides the necessary medical history on adoption (I wasn't aware there was any or I would have asked!). It's March 2023 and I'm looking at our cat's 9 page vet record now in after we got them in Feb 2021 and am shaking my head. This cat has major health problems. I had 2 cats as a child for almost 20 yrs with none of these issues. My son was crying in his sleep last night with a nightmare about losing our cat. Screw you and your judgment and negligence, PJ.

Ashley Ascencio and PJ McKovsky responded with rude/angry/mansplaining/outright mean emails, saying we couldn't have the cat because we'd let him go outside. Could do without the cat shaming lecture, it's not an effective way to educate people. Nasty email: "If you're next step is to go buy an animal instead of self reflecting then that speaks highly of you. We feel even more solid in our decision. Please explain to your child you do not value the lives and well being of your animals and I think he'll understand our decision too." Bad experience at this place, Avoid unless you want to deal with mean people. I also agree that they are withholding the medical history of the cats. My husband thought the cat seemed sick. I thought he was just bored and depressed in the cage, but I saw later on the facebook page that this bunch of cats all had extensive medical issues. No one informed me of that at all when we filled out the paperwork on him.
