Disabled their whole page and social media due to being caught. Do not use. Bailey and Reagan are not good people or the animal lovers they pretend to be. *Update- nice of them to reply. However the business was only in business for one month and they are already being criminally investigated and potentially sued. If you are a pet rescue you are supposed to take in animals whose owners passed but did not want the animal put down. That is the definition of a rescue and not people giving up on animals. Instead you took the dog of a man who passed and surrendered him to a kill shelter while taking money from the estate for food and expenses for the dog. Based on your reply I can see why the business only lasted a month (even though you portrayed that you were doing this a long time and were reputable). I guess the imbecile thing was people not doing enough research to know this was not the case. I am glad you will no longer be in the position to take advantage of vulnerable people trying to figure out what to do with a loved ones animal during their worst time. Considering in this case the family drove to the kill shelter to recuse the dog just shows how involved they were and what a con artist you are. *

That's all it is!! I had my dogs in my care for 8 years! The only reason I reached out because I wanted to find somewhere they could be in good hands because I couldn't have them anymore I was moving to another state and was a single mother.. I tried to check in about my dogs damn near every week. I got all the information, and there is more information that is coming in. I have pictures of my dogs the day I gave them to them. And pics of when they went into the shelter. They were covered in feces and urine. My one dog who they had to put down couldn't even hold in his own poop, and he couldn't walk.. in the matter of A MONTH!!!!!!! Not once did they call me text me. Instead they lied to me They blocked my number. But I made sure I told Bailey I will be coming for him and Reagan. And I will not sleep until they are punished. I have no idea what my dog went through. And I know it was not good. I saw the pics before he was put down and he looked terrible both of my babies under weight.. I didn't even get to say good bye to my baby. May his soul rest in peace. But I will make this Big thing and I will not stop!!!

What I don't have photos of are: -The joy I saw in him while sticking his head out of the window on the drive home -The way he cuddled with me last night -The way he rolled on his back while watching tv on the sofa next to me and wanted me to scratch his belly -He was so hesitant to jump on the sofa and only after I insisted did he do it. He stayed kind of stiff for a few minutes and then finally just fell back and put his head in my lap and nuzzled me. He fell asleep and snored. -He slept all night next to me cuddled up, snoring and stretching out. -He was shell shocked when we got home yesterday. I had a delivery from instacart and he just walked up to the gate, didn't bark didn't react. He seemed exhausted and I think shell shocked was the best word. -Today the county was cutting the grass along the street and my neighbors in the back where out and about and he barked! A completely different dog from yesterday. I think he is sure of me and sure that this is all real and is feeling protective. Going and getting him is one of the top 5 things I have ever done. My heart breaks just a little every time I think of what he has been through and how long he waited. But I truly believe it all had to happen so we could finally rescue each other. I love him so much and can't thank the staff at Orange County enough for not euthanizing him and for hanging in there with him and praying for him. IT WORKED! I will send more photos and updates of the big guy. And while you guys were praying, I was too. My oldest dog Diesel died right before Thanksgiving and I will always have a missing piece of me. I have 2 female dogs but really I got them before I was ready for another dog. I love them but they have not been through anything. I told everyone I was waiting for the next Diesel, a dog that really needed a break and someone to come through for them. Can't thank you enough and thanks to Nextdoor.com for posting photos of Zeus and saying such nice things about him.

But since everyone was properly wearing masks it wasn't so bad. I've been to Back to Nature many times. This was my first visit since Covid started. Only 1 other person was looking at animals while I was there. It was very easy to social distance. It was a enjoyable experience. My toddler really had fun saying HI to the animals.

We got our sweet girl Winnie from them 4 years ago and I have been waiting to share our…read moreheartbreaking story. Winnie had issues since the day we got her. She was advertised as a "yellow lab and golden retriever mix", but a DNA test told us later that she was more pitbull than anything else. She was sweet and wanted love, but immediately we noticed she was anxious, rough, and neurotic. Despite keeping her on a strict schedule with regular exercise, training, and routines, she was always "wound up" and could not relax. She would pace back and forth, whine and pant, tremble, refuse food, vomit randomly, and soil her bed constantly (despite being well house trained). She was aggressive to our cats and never let them come out of the bedroom. We got a second dog (from a different rescue) who she loved at first, but some time after getting him she began to attack him randomly with no warning. My husband and I were both injured trying to break her off of him. We paid for in-home behavioral trainers to work with her. We got her on psychiatric medications (including trazodone, Prozac, and others). We eventually had to crate-and-rotate the dogs and muzzle train Winnie. It was a miserable existence for everyone. Our vet did multiple evaluations and always determined she was physically healthy. We reached out to Anna with Save a Life multiple times throughout this experience and she was always dismissive and brushed us off. They posted Winnie as a re-home, but of course we never heard anything. We did everything we could to try to find her a pet-free and kid-free home, which we thought could help her. We contacted countless rescues, organizations, and rehoming websites. No rescue would take her. She had 2 potential adopters that we found on websites, but both backed out. Eventually she tried to attack my brother (who she knew and loved since the day we got her) and given that this was her first attempt at attacking a human, we made the devastating decision to choose behavioral euthanasia. We had a wonderful vet who advised us she likely had severe mental and/or neurological disorders and would likely never be able to be a happy dog regardless of her environment. She told us euthanasia was the compassionate choice to make. The process was heartbreaking. After she was gone, my husband who had always felt a special connection with her, cried for months and still cries if we talk about her. We loved her SO much and tried everything we could to try to help her. It was a torturous 4 years with a devastating end that has scarred us deeply. We spent thousands of dollars on training, meds, vets, and equipment, and SO much of our time, love, and care on her. I know we did the right thing, but it was a terrible experience to live through. Please do not adoption from this "rescue". There are so many red flags. My guess is that they likely go around to local shelters and take all the cute puppies they think they can sell easily. Then they have these mass "adoption events" where they pressure people to choose dogs quickly without being able to spend time with them or meet them ahead of time. This way, any illnesses or behavioral issues are not noticed and they walk away with quick, easy cash. Anyone who knows anything about dogs should have seen Winnie's severe behavioral issues before we adopted her. This organization is negligent at best, and at worst shows a complete disregard for the safety of the families they adopt out to and for the dogs themselves. Rest in peace to our sweet Winnie. We will never forget you.
