I recently adopted a dog from Wags and Whiskers Pet Rescue in Chico. I was fortunate to have a…read morevolunteer make the trek from Chico down to Southern California with my new addition, and I will say that I am very impressed with them. The adoption fee was $295 and included up-to-date vaccinations and neuter. I adopted a Chiweenie dog from them, and I was very impressed with how fast he adjusted to us. He immediately opened up to me and showed me lots of affection within hours - and still shows me so much love to this day. He was very well mannered and let us know he needed to go potty outside. They also let us know that our dog was very motivated by food, which we expected and were prepared for as our previous Chiweenie was similar. It was very clear to us that Wags and Whiskers Pet Rescue put a lot of time, care, and effort into our dog. That is no small feat by any means, and by volunteers, no less. Adoption fees do vary among animals, but I feel the value was well worthwhile due to the quality we have seen of our dog. The staff were friendly, communicative, and went beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend adopting from Wags and Whiskers Pet Rescue. They made the adoption process so easy, and we are so in love with our dog.

I went in to drop off some nice donations and when I walked in the door a volunteer (recognizable by her flaming red hair) scowled at me and peered down her nose into the bag I was carrying.

As I turned to glance at the merchandise, I overheard them complaining about receiving donations, although they were not very crowded with items. The items I brought were all very salable. I did not receive a smile or thanks for supporting the cause. I will be donating and shopping elsewhere in the future.

We drove up from Roseville because of a puppy we saw on the website. We arrived we were able to meet the pup and hang out with her for awhile. Unfortunately we couldn't get her that day because our application wasn't filled out before we came up, but it was ok. We instantly fell in love with a pup there. 2 days later we got a phone from the rescue saying they approved application and that we can pick up the pup. We drove up a couple days later, they were thorough and gave us all the medical background. In all, we couldn't be happier with our pup and the process of getting her.

As Jenn M said "Faith in humanity restored" should pretty much be their tagline…read more I like to donate to this place during Thanksgiving considering how many poor turkeys are slaughtered in factory farms every year. I'm not gonna lie.. you really have to be committed to make the drive up here but I truly think it's worth it. They offer 2 group tours every other weekend for $5 where they show you the goats, turkeys, cows, pigs and more! You also get to walk around the farm at your leisure until 4PM when they close to the public. It was refreshing to be around people who were curious about their food and questioning current industry practices. I learned that pigs were actually pretty clean and loved to be petted! Of course.. I posted pics on Facebook and got made fun of for driving so far to visit a farm but unfortunately ignorance isn't something that today's society is lacking. This place is special.. and if you don't get it then don't come here and go to Safeway, buy your factory farmed animal torture meat, have your BBQ's, and live your life in ignorance. At least I can sleep at night knowing that there are some good people out there who are trying their best to make the smallest difference.

My faith in humanity is restored! I went up to the Farm Sanctuary for thier 4th of July "Pignic"…read morecelebration, a free event with hourly tours and a vegan BBQ. It was amazing. Every animal there has a story, and your tour guides tell you all about them (and where they like to be scratched and petted!). You will really appreciate how much personality and emotion each animal has. And it's so refreshing to know there are places like this and people that care enough to dedicate their lives to helping those who cannot help themselves. The BBQ was so damn good I was a fat bastard and ate a veggieburger AND a veggiedog. There were also endless Alternative Baking Co cookies - a blessing and a curse. The gift shop is neat - they have tons of cooking & resource books, ice cream treats & snacks, and the usual t-shirts and mugs. You can get involved in the "adopt a farm animal" project here, which allows you special visiting privileges and other goodies. The Sanctuary is about a 3-hour drive from the Bay Area, totally doable for a day. But there is a little pet-friendly cabin onsite if you want to spend the weekend. I adore this place. Knowing the horrors that "food" animals suffer through makes you appreciate just watching these animals be animals - grazing, lounging, just roaming around and taking it easy, living a happy life. A very joyful place indeed.

I adopted a puppy from Happy Paws Rescue in Yuba City in July 2025…read more. Lincoln (formerly Bryan) is playful, curious, loving, smart, & coexisting nicely with his cat brothers. He's also visited the vet clinic I've been taking my fur babies to for several years & has a clean bill of health from them. Pros: - Very responsive to my phone calls. - Friendly! - Puppy was as promised, clean, healthy, & I was provided guidance on his current diet, vaccinations, etc. - 20% off a local pet store in Yuba City which did help me save some money on his 1st set of toys & training treats. Things to Consider: - Unable to visit the shelter itself. Not something that bothered me too much as I assumed their small animal rescue is a private residence & I instantly fell in love with Lincoln. Still something to think about though if you want the chance to play with your potential new pet at the rescue to see if you're a good fit for the pet. - Varying pricing according to how much I paid ($750) vs. what other reviews say. They do seem pricier than most rescues I've experienced overall. - My puppy wasn't fully vaccinated or neutered before adoption. Those are add'l costs you may have to consider if you're interested in a young pet from them, but they did promise a $75 refund if you provide proof of the spay/neuter surgery & request the refund. Would I recommend them? Yes, based on my experience.

I asked for a picture and when they responded they told me not to leave and the puppy was no longer available and that the "rescue" was no longer adopting out of the state. I am glad now that I see the reviews I am happy that they "did me wrong". They changed policy overnight- literally. They pushed me out of wanting to adopt from a rescue and buy from a breeder. How sad. (I did try with another rescue as well, but they were more ethical with how they did things, but not the right fit)
