I will NEVER donate to them or adopt from them again. EDIT 5/21/26 - they have since gotten back to us so for that I am adjusting my review from 1 star to 3 stars. I do understand that much of the staffing is done on a volunteer basis but they ought to be more careful. They did send an email with 10 attachments. One explained that you should keep your animals separated until the new one is checked out... seems odd since they encourage them to meet on adoption day but whatever... I wish them the best going forward.

It's been such a joy to add a kitten from Ragdoll tales to our family. We never expected to love a…read morecat so much! It's been a few months and we are literally obsessed with our KitKat- she is everything our family needed. KitKat adores and loves us (I didn't think this was possible with cats) and we love her to pieces. She loves being in our company, always hanging around and being in the mix. We even took her to our summer beach week. Another thing I was surprised to learn that cats can travel and love it?!  Now we are ready for a second one from a ragdoll tales. Highly recommend Elena and her beautiful ragdoll kitties!

The staff at this location are super friendly and knowledgeable of their adoptable pets. I also appreciated the fact that kittens go home to foster families until they are adopted and are only at the East Hartford location on Saturdays by appointment only. Ivy's foster family even provided the most adorable card, heartfelt note, and Ivy's favorite toys to bring with her new home. I rave about this place to family, friends, and coworkers anytime they ask about Ivy. I strongly recommend anyone who is ready to take on the next step of adopting a new member of their family to do so with Protectors of Animals!

Should be named the "Cheshire dog store"…read more I was heading toward Cheshire to run some errands. I was low on cat food of a specific brand (Fromm). There are several good animal feed stores in the area, so I searched for one that stocked a specific brand of dry cat food: Fromm. I found this store online, checked it out, and saw that their website showed that they stocked Fromm dry cat food. The online photo, which is a stock photo that can be found on Fromm's website, shows seven varieties. I stopped at the store when I got to Cheshire. Aside from a quick greeting when I entered the store, I didn't have any interaction with the staff during my visit. The section dedicated to dogs was large, varied and comprehensive. I had some trouble finding the cat section. I went in search of Fromm brand dry cat food and finally found a single large bag and three smaller bags on a table. They were not the variety or size that I was looking for. I decided to leave. Their dog supplies are fairly good, but the forty mile commute to Cheshire Cat and Dog is a little long. I am heading to the local Agway to stock up on Fromm dry food for cats.

My husband and I lost our old English mastiff a few weeks ago and wanted to get a puppy from a…read morerescue. After searching many places, I found SADR had 3 Great Dane mixes available. Long story short, we picked up out our new pup on Thursday evening and on Sunday morning we had to euthanize him because he was too sick from pneumonia, Giardia, dehydration, and malnutrition. So in the same month we lost Bo, we adopted, fell in love with, and accumulated a huge vet bill, just to have our sweet puppy die. Do not "adopt" from here. It's a scam that will break your heart and your wallet.

We went to a Save All Dogs adoption event earlier this spring. We fell in love with a sweet pup…read morethat had some kind of upper respiratory infection. Because the pup was ill and in spite of the fact that we paid the fairly steep adoption fee at the event, they brought in "foster to adopt" paperwork that limited our ability to take our pup (Technically their pup according to the foster agreement which might not stand up in court since money had changed hands.) to our chosen or any other veterinarian (which would void the agreement even in an emergency) and we were to bring the pup back every week for their weekly veterinarian visit at the adoption kennel. These were very opaque vet visits. They took the animal from us while we all (other folks with sick animals) waited outside on the sidewalk with no way to speak with the vet or share our concerns one of which was our pup wasn't responding to the medication that we were given and additionally that the pup had persistent diarrhea which they assured us was the result of the antibiotic medication. They withheld any medical/shot records until they officially released the pup to us in the final adoption multiple weeks and two medications for rhinitis later. The only suggestion for diarrhea was probiotics to replace gut flora which we were already doing. In the meanwhile we had no idea whether the pup had been dewormed, had any of their shots, or what else might be going on with her health so fortunately for others we kept her isolated from other dogs. Given that set of circumstances and the fact that we loved this sweet pup and this was in no way the pup's fault we waited it out (big mistake) and played their game. When the adoption was final we took our pup to our vet the very next day and found that our pup had giardia a few days later which had likely spread across the outdoor environment though we picked/cleaned up poo, the liquid poo should have been dug up with the ground it had contaminated and discarded rather than hosed down after pick-up. Two weeks after giardia treatment our pup also tested positive for giardia, (again) coccidia which has cyclic shedding of cysts and is even worse than giardia and persistent roundworms though pup has been dewormed twice already. Now we are facing a massive environmental clean-up after many weeks of not knowing why our pup had diarrhea and that this particular poo needed very specific treatment beyond normal hygienic measures of prompt scooping. We got a lovely puppy, friendly, sweet but this will cost us many thousands of dollars and many more months of labor with toxic cleaners to decontaminate our interior environment of persistent tough to kill microscopic cysts that can be tracked in from walking on the lawn and other outdoor surfaces that might be contaminated. The exterior where pup has pooped poses reinfection threat for up to one year in the case of coccidia. I am often near tears after the third puppy bath and floor bleaching then rinsing a week, professional steam cleaning carpeting every week, bleaching shoe soles and feet and butt wiping in between after every outdoor visit. It's so much more than we should have to do but must do. We have a long emergency, a year of regular poo testing at least, with every relapse the clock starts anew and the poor pup has been on medication after medication and struggles to put on the normal puppy fat though the diarrhea has subsided and has otherwise improved in health. We've had many pet dogs over the years, raising three from puppies, but never, ever had this. I appreciate that these people rescue animals but their procedures around sick animals suck and directly led to this crisis that we are facing. When we asked to see our vet as our pup was non-responsive to the medication we were given, they said that to do so would void the foster to adopt agreement and they would remove our pup from us for breach of contract. There was no way we were going to have that happen. People read on the Save All Dogs Facebook page that pups are being returned by heartless owners but based on our interaction with the contact person, they are likely removed during vet visits for conflict with the terms of agreement, likely when ADVOCATING for the health and safety of their pup. Frankly they should either completely release the animal "as is" with a known issue/s and let adoptees take over with their chosen vets or not present them for adoption at all until they can be fully released rather than have people fall in love with a sick puppy and having that awful "agreement" hang over them like the sword of Damocles' not allowing them to do a thing about it other than voiding the agreement entirely and potentially fighting it out in court. I. Do. Not. Recommend. We would have been far better off money and certainly grief wise to go to the world's most expensive, conscientious breeder and bought a puppy for thousands of dollars. We're already there and it's not over by a long shot.
