These women are so dedicated to such an amazing cause…read more They aren't just finding foster and forever homes for animals, they are housing animals in their own house. And, they are spending their weekends and evenings making sure the animals get spayed, neutered and adopted. Our puppy is a joy, and, as far as the adoption process, they made it as easy as possible. They scanned us and the pup very thoroughly to ensure a good match and gave us time to make sure we both matched. They are saving lives, and we were so happy to find them and add our pup to our family.

WE ARE SO FURIOUS!! AN ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SHELTER. DO NOT RESCUE FROM HERE…read more My mom had applied to adopt a cat from this place over two weeks ago. The director said the cat she was interested in wasn't up for adoption yet and she would have to wait. After many days of my mom calling and talking to the lady she basically said that the cat was already hers she just had to wait for him to be available. Today my mom called the shelter again and the director said THAT THEY GAVE THE CAT AWAY!!!! my mom was so devastated. We just lost our family dog and she was so excited and looking forward to getting a new cat. The director said it was because they had heard my mom say she was going to make it an outdoor cat, WHICH IS COMPLETELY FALSE. first, my mom would never do that. She specifically wants a cuddly indoor kitty as a companion, second the shelter specifically said she cant have an outdoor cat and my mom agreed with that part of the contract. It makes absolutely no sense. I could tell from the very beginning something was off about this rescue and I was right. I'm not sure what they're doing over there but whatever it is it's not good. We will probably be getting in contact with a lawyer. DO NOT ADOPT FROM HERE!!!

The team at Pawsco is incredibly friendly and efficient - I really enjoyed working with them…read more The time was right to add a furry addition to my house, so I submitted an online application for a kitten that was recently listed as available for adoption. This was about 2 days before Christmas. I was contacted by one of their adoption coordinators not long after and by New Year's Day I was having a meet-and-greet with my potential kitty. Meet and greet went awesome and I signed the adoption papers that day. In less than a week I'd found my new buddy! The adoption cost ($75) covered neuter, vaccines, microchip and more. I felt great knowing I was rescuing a safe and healthy animal. His foster mom was fantastic as were all the Pawsco people I interacted with. Everyone was very helpful and responsive - it was an easy process and I would recommend them to anyone looking to adopt a pet.

I could not adore a group of dedicated men and women more!…read more We went to return a cat that was mean as a snake. We honestly gave it our whole heart to integrate this little booger. He was supposed to be my son's new fur baby. Whatever happened to this feline must have been really bad. After five months of love, attention, heartbreak and many, many, many bites and scratches I regretfully had to admit that this wasn't the right pet for my tender hearted son. When we took him back, not only did they compassionately console us.... We were hysterically crying.... But even after all of the time that we had him, they allowed him to choose another kitty. By then, kittens were born. We chose the most adorable, lively, gentle like fur ball ever! My son loves him so much! It is priceless to watch them grow up together. Precious! The other cat will be turned in to be a farm cat. I didn't know that they had a program allowing cats like this one to be a barn cat. Catching mice and other little barn critters to his heart's desire! That is awesome! Those that run the dumb friends league are truly special people. What a wonderful happy ending, right?! Now, we have two cats and two dogs. We could not love these fur babies more! So happy together!

I was nervous about not seeing my pup for four weeks, but it was 100% worth it. I strongly recommend this program to anyone looking for dog training that is mutually beneficial for all involved.

We adopted a 1 year old pitbull mix, Roo, from Ruff Rescue about 3 years ago. She was in a foster…read morehome through Ruff Rescue at the time we adopted her. Pros: -she did not come down with Parvo or any of the other illnesses that other reviewers talk about -the foster mom was more than willing to meet us at a local park to do a meet-and-greet with our current dog -the foster mom was very communicative and helpful Cons: -the foster mom worked 12 hour shifts, so Roo was being kept in a cage 12 hours at a time, and her white chest was dyed yellow from laying in her own pee -she came to us extremely underweight, despite having been with the foster family for at least a month; the foster mom told us she thought Roo was "getting fat" so she held back on feeding her for a little while. Long story short, we didn't have a nightmare experience with our dog getting sick as soon as we got her, but I certainly don't think this rescue is vetting their foster families to ensure the dogs are being properly cared for.

Well, it turns out that within ONE month, they decided to euthanize her!! As my friend said, if I had known they were going to do that, I would have preferred to either find a different shelter or make other efforts to re-home her. At the very least, if we had decided that "putting her down" was in her best interest, I would have wanted to be present for her last moments.
