This is no shelter, it is a hell hole for animals. I wanted to adopt a dog I saw posted online and…read morethey killed her before I got a chance to do it. The dog had only been in their "care" for a week or so. She was not given a chance, her and her three siblings were killed. Cold, heartless and evil. Now I'm left feeling guilty for not getting there in time. At minimum they should have been given SEVERAL MONTHS to be adopted, not several days!! Insane and immoral.

All staff members that I dealt with were polite and it was very clean as well.

We have 2 older dogs and after 3 weeks... they are finally comfortable and playing now. Thank you Isabell

The mom was a stray, she had 4 kittens in a neighbor's garage. I brought all 5 to my home and kept them until the time came to bring them to Paw Parent in West Lancaster. I come to visit them every Monday. The cats are now spayed and ready for adoption. The owner and her help work so hard keeping all of the dogs and cats feed and happy. They need volunteers to keep the work load down. They really care about these animals. So sad very few people will adopt a BIG DOG.

Saving Grace Animal Sanctuary in Acton is the most relaxing farm animal sanctuary that I have been…read moreto in California. I've been to many, but there is something so special and unique about the aura here, and I am not one to typically talk about auras... But you can feel something the moment you arrive. Something traversing the lines between total calm, joy, gratitude...ease. It's just...so peaceful. The animals are so clearly happy here. They receive true care from the sanctuary owners, Kathy and Erich, as well as their dedicated volunteers. They are cared for medically, emotionally, and physically, and their life includes much enrichment. Whereas the interactions with animals at other sanctuaries seems more driven by food than anything else, Saving Grace makes a conscious effort to ensure interactions are about LOVE and CONNECTION by not allowing visitors to offer food to the animals (except on very special occasions). This may seem like a bummer at first but when you realize that the animals are interested in spending time with YOU--not just eating what's in your hand then running off--you can truly bond with them in a meaningful way. I could spend hours here, and I could talk about it just as long. But alas, the only way for you to understand what I am seeing is to go visit for yourself. 100% donation run, and with no salary taken by the owners (they have their own business), every penny of your donations truly go into the animals. So consider making a lifesaving donation, volunteering your time, or coming by for a visit soon!

I brought a stray dog into this shelter because I genuinely thought it was the right thing to do,…read moreand the entire experience turned into something upsetting and disappointing. Before coming in, I took the time to ask around to see if the dog belonged to anyone. No one recognized her. She was hiding when I found her, which already told me she was scared. I still brought her in hoping she would be safe and cared for. When I arrived at the shelter, I stood waiting at the front while the woman at the desk was on her phone. There was no clear direction or sense of urgency. I was eventually told someone would come help me, but the initial interaction already felt unprofessional and unwelcoming. When a staff member finally came out, she began scanning the dog for a microchip. During that process, the dog who was clearly frightened!!! bit her. Instead of handling the situation calmly and professionally, everything immediately turned chaotic. The dog ran, and in that moment, I instinctively called out "Bella," which is the name my son had given her while we had her. The staff member then aggressively questioned me, asking "IS THAT YOUR DOG?" in a way that felt accusatory. I explained that she was not my dog and that my son had simply named her, but I was still met with attitude. Meanwhile, my cousin who had been in the car, ran over to help after seeing the dog loose. She is not trained staff, yet she ended up being the one to physically grab the dog while multiple employees stood around watching. One employee even said something along the lines of "if the dog is comfortable, let her grab it," which was extremely concerning. Why are untrained people being expected to handle a scared animal in a situation like that? Once the dog was secured, the way she was handled was very upsetting to watch. The leash was pulled so tightly that it looked like she was being choked. The dog was clearly terrified!!!! so much so that she urinated and defecated on herself in that moment. Seeing an already scared animal be handled like that was honestly heartbreaking. I understand that working with stray animals is unpredictable and that bites can happen. However, that is part of the job, and it does not justify taking frustration out on the public or mishandling a frightened animal. What should have been a simple intake turned into a stressful, disorganized situation where there was a lack of professionalism, communication, and compassion. I came in trying to help, and instead left feeling blamed and disturbed by what I witnessed. People who bring in stray animals are doing the community a service. They should be met with guidance, professionalism, and care ! not confusion, hostility, and poor handling of animals. I truly hope this shelter improves both its staff training and the way situations like this are managed, for the sake of both the animals and the people trying to help them.

They truly love helping the animals and it shows. All of the gentleman that we're working with the dogs outside were extremely helpful in helping me find and do meet and greets with the animals. I also met Nelson the lead at the shelter and he was an absolute doll. You can tell his heart is with the shelter and the animals. The shelter itself was massive and sooo many dogs that need to be saved. With all that being said you have to have one bad apple in the bunch and that was sergeant Matthew ( can't remember his last name but it was long) let's just say that was my only negative thing to say about this pound. I had an interaction with him that was unfortunately very unpleasant. Field sergeant Matthew was rude and came across as belittling and passive-aggressive during our conversation. Instead of being helpful or respectful, the tone felt dismissive and unprofessional. I truly support the mission of this pound and the work they do for animals, which is why the interaction was so disappointing. I hope management encourages better communication so visitors and adopters feel respected and leave with adopting a pet and not with a bad taste in there mouth. I would 1,000 times over and over recommend this shelter. They are high kill shelter but it's not the shelter's fault it's the people in the community that do not spay and neuter and treat their animals The way they should be treated. Thank you again to the staff that made it a pleasant visit and helped me find the newest addition to the family.

Six months later, I saw the listing for THIS kitten rescue. We drove over, and were VERY happy to see what they had created for unwanted felines! Lots of play there. all cats were spayed or neutered. It was an act of LOVE! We thought we found "the one." Then out of nowhere, a kitten (little bit more mature than others, but still young) cam up to my Hubby's feet, rolled on his back, purring. He'd been abandoned in an apartment, crying for help for days. a neighbor got in, and took him to this rescue! Of course we adopted him. He's been part of our family for several years now.

Most of us want to do a good thing and help a rescue and a poor animal find their new home and the new family. And to have a fluffy companion. I found a kitty on Petfinder that was listed by Forgotten Angels. It sounded a little sketchy that there is no business adress listed anywhere, only a PO box. I wonder how many cats can fit into a PO Box of average size? But whatever, as long as they have the cats, right? I immediately contacted them for detaiils and got an email with 5 page questionnaire that I filled and waited. Got a text to schedule an interview. The Interview was a military style interrogation on the answers I provided in the application form. I was hoping that I will be granted security clearance and a well paying military job with a retirement package, but apparently it was not the case. After promises to let me know the next steps, I got zero communication. I did not realize that this cat rescue is as popular as a Hollywood diva with too many followers and sending a follow up message is too much of a burden for them. I was Forgotten by the Angels of this rescue,  ghosted to never hear from them again. The cat I was interested in was removed from pet finder the next day. Was I catfished? I will probably never find out...
