    I first found Esra and Legacy Rescue though Facebook. I loved the frequent posts about all the great work they were doing to save dogs who have been abandoned. I enjoyed seeing how well they carred for these animals and loved seeing their journey from illness or abandonment to healthy, loving homes. When I lost my Lab to lymphoma, there was a hole in my heart. I reached out to Legacy to foster and happily "failed" as a foster. I ended up adopting the funniest, most loving Golden boy through Legacy. The whole process to adopt was thorough and detailed, which I appreciated as jit shows just how much they care about where their dogs end up. It was a pleasure to work with Esra and I would recommend Legacy Rescue to anyone looking for a quality, honest Rescue league. They are the best!!

    I couldn't be happier with the experience I had with Legacy Rescue. We've had our beautiful Holly for three years. She was rescued from the streets of Serbia at just 8 weeks old. it was during covid, so we needed to wait a little longer to get her. But while we waited, our Holly girl was being well taken care of in Serbia and came to us healthy and up to date on all her shots. She completes our family and we couldn't be happier. Esra and her team truly love these dogs and only place them in homes that are a perfect match. That sometimes takes more time, but in the end it's worth it because all parties involved are happy! Our Phoebe (white golden) just loves her sister and would be lost without her!

    Not very responsive. Based on other review, doesn't look like we're the only ones this has happened to unfortunately.

    The Cat Connection is not just a rescue organization - it is a team of selfless, hard working,…read morecompassionate people that provide a safe haven and saving grace for cats in need. A few years ago, we reached out to The Cat Connection about adopting a cat we saw on their website. Within 24 hours, we were personally contacted via phone by Eva Miller (Founder and President) to discuss exactly what we were looking for in a new cat. She set up a meeting with a volunteer, Martha-Ann, so that we could meet a few cats that she was fostering. Although we didn't find a perfect match after our first meeting, The Cat Connection continued to follow up with us with other cats they thought would be a good fit for us. We then visited The Cat Connection's headquarters where we were greeted by volunteers and lots of happy cats. After taking a tour and meeting a few different cats, one cat in particular seemed to take a liking to us, and the rest is history! The Cat Connection is one of the best cat rescues in Massachusetts. I highly recommend reaching out to them to find your next feline family member!

    From August to November last year, we had a very positive experience collaborating with another…read morelady (NOT Taline) in this shelter. In December, the shelter's president, Taline, proactively reached out to ask if we could foster a cat again. At first, due to an uncertain schedule, we replied that we couldn't commit yet. About a week later, once our environment was confirmed suitable, we immediately contacted Taline with our availability, preferred cat types, and other preferences. Taline responded promptly, promising to review the list of cats needing help that week and get back to us. Over ten days passed with no response, despite our reminders. Assuming she was busy, we reached out via The Cat Connection's Slack channel under another volunteer applicant's name at the beginning of this week. Taline replied the next day, again promising to schedule a discussion this week. This week almost passed, and despite private messages and follow-ups, she ghosted us again. Six days ago, we posted a follow-up in the channel regarding fostering. Only then did Taline reply, claiming, "This channel is for announcements and statements to all members." This explanation contradicts prior posts by others requesting volunteer or other opportunities. When we asked again about scheduling a discussion, she ghosted once more. It became clear that she was not too busy to respond - she simply chose to ignore us. I guess she thought volunteers in her opinion were just someone to grab when she needed them. We want to stress that as the shelter's president, Taline's commitments carry weight. Repeatedly making promises and disappearing is disrespectful and unprofessional. Others' time and effort are valuable, and communication - whether to express concerns or provide simple updates - is essential. We hope that in her role, Taline can honor her commitments and respect the time and dedication of volunteers, rather than repeatedly making promises she has no intention of keeping.

    Formerly known as "Corndog" by the Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL), we adopted Arthur…read moreCornelius on June 29th, 2024. Arthur was surrendered to the ARL with two of his family members at the end of April. Arthur tried to wait patiently for his turn to find his furever home, but it was tough because he loves being with his people. When we met Arthur, it was obvious he was well cared for and how much the ARL staff and volunteers loved him. Despite being in the shelter for about two months, Arthur was friendly and trusting. Today, Arthur is living his best life with his new parents going on lots of adventures. The ARL staff and volunteers are kind, compassionate, and dedicated. In 2023, they facilitated 3,173 adoptions including cats, dogs, small animals like bunnies, and even some livestock! And overall, they helped around 21,000 animals in lots of other ways. Thank you for giving Arthur a second chance to live his best life. I highly recommend the ARL!

The ARL has been very helpful and has never made me feel bad about asking for advice. I live in Needham and had reached out to the Dedham shelter a couple of weeks after Arlos adoption, they were kind and accomodating. Laney the behavioralist has been so nice and helpful giving advice and tips. I am happy and grateful to the ARL and the hard work and care that the staff put in even after adoption.

    I went to Gifford because I got a pair of cats from them decades ago without any problems. Times…read morehave changed. Don't bother looking on their website because you might fall in love with a cat that you will likely not get. THEY pick your cat for you based on THEIR idea of which cat will be best for you. And you won't get it soon. Here is a direct quote from an eMail I got from Gifford. "We work by way of a matchmaking process, where we seek information from applicants about what they are looking for (or not looking for) in a cat or cats. Based on that information, and once a person makes it through our approved adopter list (which can be a bit lengthy at times), we review cats in care against the applicant's information and offer meet and greets with 1 or 2 cats or pairs of cats we think fit what a person is looking for. We email you their profiles ahead of time and if you want to meet them, we set up a time and if they don't seem quite right, we would try again based on your feedback about the offered cat(s). We don't currently have appointments where people can come meet multiple cats without working through the matchmaking process. If you are OK proceeding with our matchmaking process . . . ." No, I am not OK with that. Talk about arrogance. They also did not tell me if I was on their "approved adopter list" even tho they did say their interview with my vet went fine. And they only other thing they said about wait time was that kitten season was coming up so I shouldn't have to wait too long. I'll get a pair of kittens elsewhere. :-(

    The staff was very friendly and patient while we decided which kittens to adopt. All the cats here…read moreare in a good environment!
