Have adopted 2 cats in the past and now attempted to adopt a dog. They told me a supervisor who is…read moreno longer there(wonder why?) entered in their system that I had my cat euthanized 2 yrs ago because it wouldn't use litter box. Absolutely false as I took to the vet because she wasn't going. Vet told me she had kidney failure and cancer and recommended putting her out of pain. I told little victories this and said please check with the vet. They wouldn't go to the trouble and denied me. Be wary of this misinformation clinic that would rather an animal suffered instead of doing what's right. I love animals. Stop donating to this place if you are. Thanks Pete Anderson

Little Victories is an impressive, moving operation. While it's doubtful that many Yelpers will…read morefind this rescue central or easily reachable, a journey down the back roads of Ona and Barboursville will be well worth the trip - if you're an animal lover. With literally hundreds of dogs and cats, Little Victories is one of the most amazing, hectic, and sometimes overwhelming nonprofit rescues I've seen. Their mission is clear, their animals loving, and their volunteers impressively devoted. As with any rescue, I would recommend doing thorough background checks on the history of any animal you adopt. While these workers and volunteers are compassionate, they don't always have up-to-date information on their animals (you'll need to contact someone in charge or a local veterinarian to confirm details). The only reason I stress this point is because even the best of animals have certain temperaments and needs - usually based on their history - and thus, it is always wise to have the most information when adopting. If you just want to get involved on the volunteer side of things, Little Victories is a wonderful haven for these animals, all of whom seem to understand their situation and the hope the place provides them. They are fed well, walked frequently, and socialized as best as possible given the strange limitations of using a converted home as a shelter. A visit to the so-called "Cathouse" is a must: to see a whole, one-story bungalow overrun with cats is not a sight easily forgotten.

Was sent a message that my dog needed extra vaccine so concerned I called the vet long story shot he is to old to have needed it that's why they had not sent me a reminder so then I get another request from the kennel that he needs another shot meanwhile I just left vets office. Which is very hard to get into and cost a lot of money. So the lady I was talking to just kept running me around with such a flipped attitude like it was no big deal. The vet kept telling he does not need it and I kept telling her in order to board him they said he needs it all together my dog just got the wrong shot for nothing. And then had the nerve to call after we just Left the vet and said he needed a different shot. What? And with it being last minute I have been unable to find another boarder. I really hate when good business let 1 person ruin the whole operation.

Not only are they…read moresaving our precious furry friends, but they have a prison program that has the power to also transform the lives of the inmates who participate in this program. We adopted a dog from here years ago & it has proven to be one of the best decisions we have made as a family. Our pup came out well trained, socialized & a ready made companion for our mom. The adoption process is lengthy and thorough, as it should be, to ensure that animals in their care are placed in homes that are all that they claim to be. This process includes a home visit which allows them to get a better idea of how safe & suitable a prospective forever home could be as well as discuss any potential barriers to the adoption process.

We adopted a 13 week old puppy Saturday. She was breathing heavy and threw up and had diarrhea from…read morethe time we got her home. We thought it was nerves but it progressed to bloody constant diarrhea and struggling to breathe. She has become more and more lethargic. Took her to urgent care vet Wednesday when we couldn't get her in with a local vert, $1100 later (not the vets fault) they diagnosed her with severe pneumonia, WBC over 4000 (should be under 20), and 2!! Parasites, one of which is transmittable to humans. There is zero chance they didn't know she was sick and if they didn't know, that says they aren't providing adequate care. Connie answered the first time I called Thursday morning and promised to "get back to me" but she has not returned the call or answered myself or my husband's phone calls since. This poor baby is on antibiotics, dewormer, and probiotics but she is just getting worse so now we are in the animal hospital with her and we are rapidly losing confidence she will live through this. We will also be on the hook for an unknown bill while they try to save her. We have learned there is no governing body over rescues so there isn't even anyone to report this to in order to prevent other dogs there from ending up in the same position or dead. Tootsie had a litter mate there, Tia, and if you adopted her, you're gonna want to talk to your vet about checking her for parasites. TLDR:: This could have been prevented with appropriate care at barely used pets and they are not responding to calls. Have a whole lot of money in savings if you're adopting from here cause the vet bills will keep rolling in. Absolutely unacceptable. only gave 2 stars because there is still room for them to make this right.

But I didn't need to worry. They were volunteers with A Purrfect Start animal rescue in Grove City. On their own time and dime, they were picking up strays to be spayed and neutered and then were returning them to the area, left ear clipped to show they'd been taken in. Purrfect Start has been helping homeless animals, both domestic and feral with food, shelter, fostering, adoptions and also spaying and neutering since the summer of 2008. Kudos to these special folks for doing the right thing. In addition, I recently adopted in one of the kittens they returned to the area.

Between my friends, family, and myself, we have adopted a few times from Sierra's Haven. Here's how…read morethe experience went: Puppy: perfect condition, no complaints and great dog. "2" year old dog: This dog was promoted to be ye o years old in perfect condition with no health issues. After adoption, we find out that she has lymes disease and she was actually five years old. They were not clear about any of this and I felt extremely scammed out of my money. After calling, they basically said they knew about it and now it was our responsibility to take her to the vet. 2 year-old cat: SUPER cute and cuddly animal who was drawn to me the moment I walked in the door. I loved her to death, but we noticed that she had some health issues. We asked them about it over FIVE times and they changed the topic every single time. Now we have a cat who may have parasites within her. I called back and once again, it's our responsibility to take care of her now. I love animals and I love non-kill animal shelters. But, unless you want a puppy, look elsewhere for adoption. I recently adopted a cat from a humane society in Columbus and it was the best experience ever. DO NOT ADOPT here if you want anything OTHER than a puppy. Save yourself some time and money, because they let animals suffer and expect you to pay for the full price after adoption.

Due to our cat of 9.5 year's sudden passing we were recently looking for a new kitten/cat to fill…read morethe big cat shoes that were left behind. My wife and I visited Colony Cats, Cat Welfare, and Cozy Cat Cottage to name a few. With all of the wonderful potential fur kids we saw we didn't see the one that we just connected with. We decided to go to Pets Without Parents as it was a rescue that we had not been to before and it was just down Indianola from our house. We had no expectations when we went to PWP other than we knew that they were a smaller rescue that was located in an older house. When we walked in we were pleasantly greeted by a volunteer and showed where the hand sanitizer (so that we could clean our hands between kitties). The individual who greeted us was figuratively knee deep in cleaning dog cages but, she was friendly and responsive when we had questions. There, in the center cage on the bottom was this beautiful kitten! Both of our hearts melted when we saw him, as he was nearly the spitting image of the cat we had just lost. The individual working the shelter that day let us know that those two kittens were meant to be picked up today by the person that was adopting them. Our hearts collectively dropped as then we knew that of the cats at PWP, these were the ones that we shouldn't get attached. We petted all the cats that we could, well save the brand new box of feral kittens! I am sure that in no time they'll be adoptable little fluffs! Despite not seeing a cat/kitten we connected to we decided to put in an application. The application was very similar to others you might see when adoption a new animals. Asked for references, job information, current pet information, veterinary contact, as well as things the adopter's view on declawing. Much to my surprise I received a call the very next day from the PWP shelter manager! I thought that the call may have been to clarify the application we had submitted but, it was not. The adoption on the beautiful kitten (that was meant to go home the day before) had fallen through. They wanted to know if we would like to come meet the little we had seen the day before. We quickly (and gleefully) went back to PWP to officially meet & pet this kitten. Cat carrier in tow, of course, just in case! If you adopt through PWP you get a wellness check up card for use at the vet where the animal has received their vaccines & spay/neuter. We took this offer so that we could get our new little friend checked out before we established him at our vet. This was great as he had a cold (that they were treating him for) and we were able to proceed to the next step in treatment, an antibiotic shot to help knock out the remainder of the kitty cold. The adoption contract at PWP is more heavily worded than others might be. There is a provision in it where if the contract is broken that PWP can seek money from the adopter who has broken the contract. It seems to me that this is included to bring home the gravity that is the responsibility of adopting a furkid. Oh, and I can verify that the folks at PWP do check references, which is great since they are working to place pets in well suited homes. P.S. Pets Without Parents is loud. With the pupsters looking for a new home in the adjacent room, any kitten/cat adopted from these guys will likely be a-okay with loud sounds and barking dogs. Train tracks also run right next door to the rescue. P.P.S. Our new kitten is fitting in purrfectly at home.
