This small animal welfare organization, dedicated to finding homes for golden retrievers, is big on getting results. In my opinion, they go about it the right way. Their application process is thorough; they foster their rescue dogs to socialize them (depending on their background and circumstance) and they work hard at validating health before adoption occurs. They have tons of meet 'n greet functions and their donations assist many Golden's requiring costly medical procedures to give them the lives they deserve. Their regular staff and volunteer staff are knowledgeable and great to deal with. It is true that there are so many animal rescue organizations out there that deserve a gigantic Yelp. This is one of the better ones.

We've adopted three cats from Animal House over the years -- Batty in 2022 & Monkey + Moon in 2026…read more It's such a wonderful place. The volunteers are great and the cat room is amazing. In 2022, it took us all of five minutes to land on Batty -- who marched up and declared himself ours. In May 2026 we spent an hour, meeting each cat, before landing on Moon. And then two weeks later I emailed to see if Monkey was still available....he was & so now we have three! Easy process. Everyone's kind and patient (especially with my kiddo, who was 8 and 11). And the cats are very well cared for -- and as advertised when it comes to behavior, etc. Five stars isn't enough, but it's the max here ... so five stars!

We were looking for a puppy to add to our family and be a little friend to our two year dog. My…read morewife filled out the paperwork and we got the call to come and see the puppies that were available. We spent time with two puppies and took one of them home. Puppies were in great shape. The shelter was clean and roomy. We spent a decent amount of time with the puppies but I don't think we were taking an outrageous amount of time visiting with the dogs. We wanted to make sure our four legged daughter was going to get along with our potential new family member. We all felt that one of the staff members was trying to get us in and get us out and pushing us to make a decision. In the end it all worked out well. We got a great puppy and our current dog got sister to hangout with, but if you don't take the time things could go south.

In June a friend of mine found a mama and 5 kittens outside her home. She contacted me for the best rescue to take them to. I highly recommended AOS. My friend stated that she wanted to keep the mama but was advised by AOS that the kittens could not be accepted without mama and that their best chance for survival was to keep them together. She did the right thing and gave them to AOS but made it very aware to them that once babies were medically ready she was going to adopt mama. Well just this past week babies were ready and my friend was ready to bring home her furever fur baby. That did not happen, favoritism was given to a volunteers niece. My friend submitted the correct paperwork for the adoption, showed up at Petsmart with her new cat carrier only to find out that someone else was taking her home. Now mind you, I was told the night before by the volunteer that she explained the situation to the niece and the niece understood that the cat belonged to my friend....that same niece was at Petsmart and due to being friends with the adoption counselor she ended up with the cat. My friend stood there with tears in her eyes and and empty cage. If you feel you want to adopt from such an organization be my guest, but apparently their word means nothing. Plenty other honorable rescues out there, I suggest you go elsewhere....if you scroll down you will see other stories similar ...guess it's about who ya know rather then keeping your word

AHoW fit me in same day to have two puppies euthanized that had congenital defects; Dr. Spencer was incredibly kind and professional during the appointment which was greatly appreciated between my lack of sleep and devastation over the puppies. As if that wasn't enough, I had a fading puppy overnight... Dr. Dustin answered the on-call emergency number the first time, provided advice, and asked that I follow up if the puppy didn't improve. She didn't, and Dr. Dustin returned my 1:15 AM phone call within 5 minutes and was at the clinic within 35 minutes in a horrible thunderstorm to do everything he could to keep her going. His compassion was incredible, but unfortunately despite our best efforts, we had to let her go. For a 2 AM overnight emergency with radiographs, sub q fluids, and other interventions plus euthanasia, the cost was incredibly reasonable and far below what I would have anticipated. Then my bitch came down with mastitis... the clinic again fit me in same-day for her to be seen, Dr. Dustin was incredibly cost conscious with my options, and we seem to have it under control.
