Rescue day!
Gemma A.

I would highly recommend anyone looking to adopt to go through Pardon Me Rescue. Karen and her team were wonderful. I recently rescued my gorgeous puppy from them when they had set up shop for the afternoon at Petco in Anaheim Hills. The team was so professional throughout the whole experience, they asked me lots of questions and you could tell they really only cared about the safety and future happiness of the animals they are adopting out. They microchipped my pup right there and then, they throughly explained what vaccines she had been given and walked me through how and when to get her last vaccine. Pardon Me had so many beautiful puppies, dogs, kittens and cats that need forever homes - I only wish I had a bigger yard so I could adopt more through them! Thank you!!

SO very THANKFUL for Pardon Me as I found my perfect dog! Karen provides excellent care of her rescues and truly cares!

Pardon me rescue is a wonderful rescue group that truly cares and loves every animal. Karen was so very caring, knowledgeable and truly wants to find each rescue their forever home. I highly recommend this rescue for anyone looking to adopt. AMAZING GROUP!

We brought Gary home just before Christmas (his name was max/maxadoodle) and we couldn't be happier with his care and the adoption process. He is happy and healthy with no signs of mistreatment. They made sure we were fit to adopt thoroughly but not to a painstaking degree, his adoption price was VERY reasonable and he came with all his shots up to date and fixed. Gary spends every day with us and is truly the cuddliest little lover we've ever seen. I cannot recommend this rescue enough.

Love this rescue organization!!! I adopted Tommy about 2 weeks ago and he's the absolute love of our life! Karen was so caring towards him and she still loves and appreciates updates on her pups. Tommy is healthy, loves to play, and is a joy to have. Highly recommend adopting from this rescue organization. They love their animals!

Meet Lucy aka Teddi!

Pardon Me is the absolute best. 6 weeks of trying to adopt the perfect "Pre-owned pup". I bet I filled out 8-10 applications. More than half never responded. Some made appointments to see that special dog and they never brought the dog. I was about ready to go buy a puppy and alas, and my last stop, I went to Petco in Anaheim Hills. This is where I observed an organized operation. They knew the past stories of the dogs and I mean all of them. The dogs had all been taken care if so well and were happy , healthy and clean. I met Karen. What an amazing caring women! I could have taken all of the dogs. But, I met Teddi aka Lucy and that was the story of that. I know I was vetted by one of the volunteers but I would only expect that. I was allowed to fill out the application on site at Petco and went home with the new love of my life...a 5 year old terrier mix. Please check at Petco in Anaheim Hills on Sat and Sunday with Pardon Me Rescue and ask for Karen. This was my last stop and I definitely saved the very best for last! Sue Haake

Yesterday we had the best day of our lives when we met our new puppy Dumpling. Receiving the call from Karen that our application was approved and we can come see Dumpling the next day was the best feeling. We have been trying for months to rescue a pup and Pardon me...Inc was the only rescue that acknowledged our application. Kelly and Karen were very friendly and answered all our questions. Dumpling is in his new home and is such a good boy. Sweet as can be and we are loving all the puppy cuddles.

I decided I needed another little dog after my older son moved out and took his with him. My cairn terrier needed a play buddy, and my 11 year Chihuahua was not going to cut it. We went to Petco and met with Ilene. We talked for a bit, and she gave me an application. It was 1:00 and there were not dogs in sight, which disappointed me, but she said to come back at 2. My husband, son, and I went home, I filled out the application, and came back with my two dogs in tow. We met Bentley, took him for a walk, and decided we wanted him. I did not meet the director Karen because she was taking care of some business with the Petco management. Ilene came out to our a few hours later (4:30 pm) to do a home check and bring Bentley. When she came in, I noticed a terrible smell coming from the dog, but thought he had farted. After Ilene left however and we started playing with Bentley, I notice he had a terrible smell coming from his mouth and that he was so skinny. I knew he had a couple of teeth pulled, and I assumed he had an infection. The next day (Monday) at 4:00, I was at my vet's with him. They checked his mouth and said he definitely needed some teeth pulled. The vet took him back to check on him and came back with an estimated bill of $572 to have 6 teeth pulled. I just about passed out. We had this dog for 24 hours and now I had this bill. I knew for sure my husband was going to kill me. I ok'd the bill and left him there overnight so they could do the procedure the next morning. However, I came home just about in tears and sent an email to Pardon Me, Inc. Later that night, Karen called me. She was very upset with my email, but she understood where I was coming from. After about an hour and a half of talking, it was agreed that she would get Bentley the next morning and take him back to the vet who originally did his dental work. She really wanted to make things right, and I very grateful to her. Of course I apologized for my snippy email, but I do think I was in shock when I wrote it. The next morning, she picked Bentley up from my vet (she drove from Chino Hills to Anaheim Hills) and took him home with her. He stayed the night with her and the next morning, (Wednesday) she took him back to her vet. Apparently, a vet tech did not do a thorough enough job of checking him out, and he needed another 7 teeth pulled because they were rotting. Not only were Karen and myself put out, but poor Bentley must have been so confused. Karen put that tech in her place so hopefully it won't happen again. Wednesday night after Karen got off work, she me me back at Petco and I brought Bentley home. He is so fun, and he makes us laugh all the time. He plays with Brewster just like I wanted, and all three snuggle with me on the couch at night. I really do appreciate Karen and her desire to set things right. My husband and I both work full time, so that is not a reason they won't adopt out to you. They have a lot of dogs to choose from, and when you adopt from them, you open up another spot for them to go and rescue a dog from a shelter.

The people make bad critics when they are not able to see that they are not qualified for a certain reason. The people from Pardon Me deserve admiration, gratitude, respect for all the hard work rescuing and taking care of those doggies with such unfortunate situation. The people behind Pardon Me are great people and they really invest their life but short mind comments as the ones that were left on yelp are so useless. I love the good heart of all this volunteers and members behind this beautiful help. Thank you for Lucy that is my smile every day. GOD BLESS YOU PARDON ME! :-)

I adopted an adorable puppy from this group - and I was extremely happy with the whole experience! I inquired about a dog (via email) - and got a response the next day. I had a hard time sending the online application, so Karen told me to bring it to the adoption event. The volunteers were all very friendly and knowledgeable. I was able to meet my puppy and bring him home the same day. He was only 10 weeks old - and they made a (future) appointment for him to be neutered (which is covered by the adoption fee). When his foster mom said good-bye to him, it was obvious he was well-loved in her care. Thank you, Pardon Me, Inc for everything you do to save animals...and for Ringo, who is the perfect puppy for my family!!

We got our puppy from the adoption day at Petco. We LOVE him! It's been only 2 weeks, and he is already part of the family. He has such a great personality and is so sweet! We are so grateful to Pardon Me for connecting us with our family pet!

She is loved treasured and spoiled.  Thank you Pardon me.....pet rescue!

I wanted to update my review. I cannot say enough nice things about this group. I am overjoyed with my little Winter that I adopted from them. She is such a love and has made enormous progress from the day I adopted her. She is goofy, smart, and funny. I hope to help out at their adoption events in the future. Adopt, don't shop, and support this incredible group that saves lives.

Hi H.

I got to petco really early to get a cat because its first come first serve,and let me just tell you,my kids were so excited because we were the first ones there and we were getting a cat,then a lady came in and tried to get the same cat and an assistant said to the lady did you fill out the Application and she said no and we told the assistant that we did and she said that we would get because first come first serve, and then My kids went to talk to an other assistant and she said that they reserved it,mind you when we told her that is it possible to reserve a cat she said no. My kids were sobbing the whole day. I will never trust this shelter ever again.
