Boyfriend and I stumbled upon them and saw this pretty white mutt and both went "we like her!". Danielle and he team encouraged us to play with the dogs and get to know them. We have been wanting a dog but were apprehensive because we have two older cats. Danielle told us about the foster to adopt program she has where you can take the dog for a bit and see I'd they are a good fit. Our dogs name was Cupcake because that's what danielle and her team named her when they rescued her. Anyway we brought puppy home and she she fit right in. She was intrigued by the cats but not very aggressive. She was a good girl. Danielle said she was up to date on her shots and everything including being spayed. After a week we told Danielle that we wanted to keep the dog and that we renamed her Milly. We were in love and Danielle was extremely happy. This is how awesome Danielle and her team are: they actually didn't have room to rescue Milly, but because she was so sweet and Danielle knew she would make someone very happy, she took her in anyway. Danielle is so passionate about her work and she enjoys it so much. Please adopt! These animals just want to be loved and need a little TLC and patience. Help support a group like A Dog's Tale because they and the dogs deserve it!!

A little orange cat was standing on our back wall one day, just... there. She let us pet her, she let us feed her. Then she followed us by shoving herself into the dog door. No chip, and she was just a little teenie-bopper kitty. About a year later... MCACC had this Cattle Mix. We didn't see her beforehand, we met her there at the shelter. A total surprise, and a total sweetheart. She was a maniac at first, not gonna sugarcoat. But we realized she needed more help, and the rest is history. Two little outcasts, getting along beautifully, for over a year now Though I will mention, it can be a tad cutthroat with adoption, especially small dogs from what others say. You'd think with the prices being so high, it would encourage others for the larger dogs, but nope! People like their apartment/bag-sized dogs a LOT. Definitely consider a big dog like we did--There's a lot of them in there!

In April, I reached out to Vivianette, the founder of the rescue, for a FEMALE orange kitten she…read morehad. She advertised it as a girl all over Facebook and Instagram. Upon receiving this kitten, I noticed that it had the genitalia of a boy. The male kitten also had a dark bump in his eye. This was unintentional so I was not upset with her about this happening. However what upset me was that she was not willing to refund me the $75 I paid to have a female orange kitten. She expected me to donate my money to her even though I did not receive what I expected. She did not fulfill her side of the contract by providing me a female orange kitten (as advertised), and yet I don't get my money back. It's not like I got what I expected and then suddenly decided to change my mind. PLEASE stay away from adopting from this rescue. She will scam you your money even if she is the one in the wrong. Also the reviews left on yelp for her lash business are so bad as well, I honestly should have trusted my gut feeling when I saw those bad reviews.

One poor Shepard was jumping to the top of his pen hitting his head every time. Horrible and so sad. I didn't see any type of yard either, where the dogs could be walked.

I came by first for a meet and greet, and Connie was good with answering my questions (in person and via text) to the best of her ability and let me bring my other dog to see how they got along. We met in a little front room and all other dogs were somewhere else behind a door, so I didn't see what normal living conditions were like. I picked him up a few days later and was told he was in good health and up to date on all shots except two, and they handed me his vet records, which I had requested. Upon bringing him home, I noticed he had diarrhea, sometimes accompanied with blood in his stools. He was drinking a crazy amount of water, and pooped around ten times a day. He was clearly unwell. His vet records showed he had been previously treated for these issues, and I wish I would have been made aware of this before, when I asked about his health. I took him to my vet, and a fecal exam revealed he had two different parasites, giardia and cystoisospora. The vet explained how easy it is to spread and get reinfected by these parasites, especially among high concentrations of dogs. Some older dogs may not exhibit symptoms but still be carriers, while younger dogs suffer quite a bit. I have no doubt that most of the other dogs at this rescue are infected. I contacted Connie about this issue. She said she was unaware my puppy was sick, but understood the circumstances and agreed to pay for his medication. While it was clear to me from the very start that he was sick, I understand she is caring for so many dogs at a time and may not be able to keep track of whose poop is whose, etc. However, other potential adopters need to know the conditions these dogs are in so they can make an informed decision.

Not once! I hear they are overwhelmed, because I know someone who volunteers for them. There is NO EXCUSE, I repeat, NO EXCUSE for completely ignoring and refusing to return ANY messages or emails from someone. Pick up the phone or write an email saying sorry we can't get to you. The problem is, a coworker DID get a response and DID get help during this same time period. I believe these people are selectively picking and choosing who they want to help, and if they don't want to help you, you will NEVER get helped. Someone should report them to the state AG. Oh I tried to get help from them last year in May also and no one ever called or emailed me then, either. UNBELIEVABLE.
