On Friday, May 1, 2026, we lost our sweet 10 year-old fur baby to cancer. It was devastating. We…read moreknew we wanted another dog eventually but we could not immediately commit to giving them a forever home due to a Family emergency. A lot of uncertainty and a rollercoaster of sorts. On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the Frisco PetsMart on Preston Road held an adoption event where, right away, my Mom and I fell in love with Addie. We were drawn to her for some reason, and we knew right then, we needed to do the full adoption. A few days prior, we were informed that my Aunt was not doing well and we would most likely be out of the country for about two months. I e-mailed Yvette, the president of Lost Paws Rescue Organization, if she would be able to keep Addie with her until we returned (August 9th) and she agreed. When I met Yvette in person to pick up Addie at PetsMart on Saturday, August 15th, she was so sweet and pleasant to talk to. Thank you for leading us to Addie. We are head over heels in love with her. She is currently enrolled in training classes. She does well on a leash now and is slowly coming out of her shell after having adapted to our home environment.

Yvette is very rude and I felt I was being lied to about the dog I was wanting to adopt. I filled…read moreout the application and communicated my interest. After meeting up with Yvette I was given 8 hours to make my decision. I asked if I could see Nachos vet records with no reply. That was already a red flag. I took a day to think and I was ready to adopt. Yvette said he was no longer available, however he remained on the website. When I mentioned this she did not respond. I showed up to the adoption event the next week and there he was!! I feel if they truly cared about the animals they would be accommodating and work harder to rehome. Overall, I believe Lost Paws is running a sketchy business. The whole interaction with Yvette was very off putting. My heart breaks for Nacho as I was ready to adopt and give him a great new home and all the love!!

I adopted one of our puppies from TMHPR, and I can't say enough great things about them. I've been…read morean independent street rescuer for a couple of years, and I can't tell you the number of times I called and emailed dozens of rescue groups around the D/FW Metroplex to ask for assistance in placing a rescued street dog into a foster home. I myself lived in a one-bedroom apartment with my husband and our own 2 dogs at the time (we now live in a house with a fenced yard), so we weren't in a position to foster ourselves. Unfortunately, the vast majority never even bothered to respond to emails, let alone offer assistance. I didn't expect them to jump through hoops to help me, knowing how overwhelmed the rescue community is, but I was hoping for at least some assistance in finding someone who could help us locate a rescue group with room to spare. Referrals, assistance with finding a low-cost vet -- ANYTHING. Even a simple "Sorry, but we can't help you" email would have sufficed. TMHPR is one of the very, very rare few that not only responds to its many, many emails and phone calls, but they also go out of their way to help a sincere rescuer find help. They don't always have the answer, but they work hard to help those who truly want to make a difference. I've since become a volunteer and have helped them redesign their website, launch and maintain an email marketing campaign, and work on fundraising. Even though I live pretty far from their adoption center, I don't mind the commute at all -- not only am I working on a cause I'm truly passionate about, I'm also working with one of the best-run organizations in town. Definitely recommended to anyone looking to add to their family or simply wanting to volunteer!

The staff works hard to help them flourish and thrive, giving each one the best possible chance of finding a forever home. The team is experienced, dedicated, and many of them have been here for years. Their knowledge and commitment are evident in the care they provide every day. I also love that they offer spay and neuter services. Helping prevent unwanted litters is one of the most effective ways to reduce the overwhelming number of kittens entering shelters and, in the long term, helps decrease the need for euthanasia. I highly recommend supporting or adopting from this shelter. They also accept donations, which directly help provide food, medical care, and other essentials for animals who desperately need it. Every adoption, donation, or act of support truly makes a difference.

If I could leave a zero-star review, I would. I want to spread awareness: Plano Animal Services…read morekilled my dog, Bella. Bella was a 12-year-old German Shepherd. She ran away from home and ended up in the shelter for about a week. Because of whatever policies Plano has, they spayed her. Bella was 11, and it is incredibly high-risk to alter dogs at that age. Because of that decision, a few weeks later, Bella developed cancer. We took her to the vet to get checked out, and they told us how much the cancer treatment would cost. They also confirmed that when you spay older dogs like this, they are at a very high risk of developing cancer. Ultimately, she died. I had to put her down because she was in so much pain. Mark my words, Plano Animal Services, karma will come for you. May Bella rest in peace. I will never forgive y'all. Bella was healthy. She was my childhood dog, and I had her ever since I was almost 7 years old. Now, I am crossing the stage for my high school graduation today without her here--she is just watching over me instead.

They are very thorough in making sure the right person, home meets the criteria they are looking for. The adoption process was fast, understandable and easy. Being approved to adopt was a great experience. Going to PetSmart was easy to find and the process there was very organized, with volunteers who had knowledge of the dog I adopted. Her name was Little Bit when I got introduced to her and now she is Lynnie! Spending over 4 hours with her and to bound with each other was beautiful. The moment she saw me and I saw her, I felt a connection that I knew, she was for me. She wagged her tail, barked and I blew her a kiss. Then the volunteer brought her to me and the journey began. They allowed me to take as much time with her as possible. The process of signing agreements was fast and understandable. They are taking care of all her shots, spay, microchipping etc. I would totally recommend, as they recommend to go on the website, look for a dog you're interested in and fill out the application. That way when you are approved, you get an email and a first choice or second choice, depending on how many people were approved and before you. Get there early and stay in line. There was over 40ish people in line when I got there but skipped the line and became person 2, because I was approved. I totally would recommend this rescue to adopt from, surrender a pet or foster a pet until the pet is adopted. They are very friendly and helpful! Thank you Pooch Savers! James & Lynnie!

I have a long history of…read moreresponsible pet ownership, including volunteering with Florida Poodle Rescue, fostering a dozen dogs, and adopting several. Unfortunately, after moving across the country, I no longer had the veterinary records for my deceased pets. Rather than consider the circumstances, this rescue declined my application because I couldn't produce the documentation. Seems I used a traveling vet for my heart worm check. I understand the need for standards, but there should be room for common sense and individual circumstances. There are plenty of dogs in need of loving homes, and this organization missed out on a great pet parent and financial donor. I will find another rescue that takes a more reasonable approach.

This is a rescue group for greyhounds in north texas! They are based out of Dallas/Ft. Worth but…read morethey rescue from all over the state, and even around the country. I'm both a volunteer with this organization, and an adopter. All three of my furbabies came from here! Greyhounds are used for racing at dog tracks, and many are kept for breeding purposes if they are unable to run. As soon as they outlive their usefulness they are sometimes turned over to organizations like Greyhounds Unlimited, and unfortunately sometimes they are just put out on the street. Like most domesticated animals they do not understand how to take care of themselves, or avoid dangers (like traffic, etc) and so some of them are lost. GU does it's best to take in as many greyhounds as possible (they also take in Italian Greyhounds which are a smaller cousin to the greyhound, and greyhound mixes). They only run because of foster homes who are willing to temporarily hold dogs and take them to "Meet and Greets" which are published on their site and held at stores which allow the group to set up on the weekends. Greyhounds Unlimited is 100% non-profit with no paid staff, and everyone involved works so hard to find forever homes for these dogs. Check out their website to learn more about greyhounds and adoption. You'd be surprised ot learn how great they are to live in apartments, because they only have energy for a little bit and then all they want to do is sleep!
