Although it was beyond hours, Susan greeted us, answered questions, and, in reality, comforted both of us. She also offered any help she could give to our situation. Indecision kept us busy for two more weeks, but decision made, we called her. She and a volunteer came on a Sunday and collected our surplus and our cat, taking time from her weekend to let us say goodbye, assuring his care, and thanking us for the privilege of being able to help. Fantastic, caring organization. We are indepted, and will be in their support list for a long time. If you are searching for a new furry friend, give them a call. You'll leave with a good feeling of meeting the people as well as the friend I hope you'll meet there and bring home.

When we were looking to adopt a greyhound and we're having no luck despite months of searching, Jean went above and beyond to ensure we got the perfect match--we even ended up adopting two litter mates! The pups we adopted are beyond perfect and we couldn't be happier to have two instead of one. AHH truly cares about matching dogs with the ideal owner to ensure the animal has the best possible quality of life. This is critical to ensure the dog is not subjected to a life with someone that is not fully committed or is unable to provide the care that is needed and deserved. We can't thank AHH enough for matching us with two beautiful pups that have become such an integral part of our family. Jean and the entire AHH family are amazing to work with and we are forever grateful for the perfect pups you brought into our lives.

We lost our beloved Pittie back in July and decided it was time for another fur baby, only this…read moretime we wanted to go with a Yorkshire Terrier. After tons and tons of research and countless hours of looking online, we found The Paw Palace. Paw Palace had the breed we were looking for and had a few pictures online, so we decided to make an appointment. The owners of Paw Palace were so easy to work with and were happy to answer all of our questions with no problem. As soon as we saw the Yorkie that we came to see, we immediately fell in love and took her home that day. Upon purchase, our fur baby already came with her first set of vaccinations, microchipped, AKC papers and about 2lbs of puppy food. The entire process was seamless and we couldn't be happier with our new baby. *Note: Make sure you make an appointment to see any of their animals! We made the mistake of just showing up, as we thought this business was set in a typical brick and mortar shop. They're actually do business out of their home.* Two toes and two thumbs waaaay up for The Paw Palace, and a HIGHLY RECOMMEND from me! Good luck on your new puppy search, my Yelpers!!!

Please do not support puppy mills. This "business" sells over 50 "breeds" - many of which are…read moredesigner mixes. "Hypoallergenic breeds" are just mixed breed poodle mixes. When breeding F1 puppies - the puppy gets one set of genes from each parent and the outcome can vary widely in a single litter in coat type, size and temperament. She is selling Merle Havapoos - neither Havanese or Poodle naturally carry the merle gene. They will try to say it's a recessive gene - it's not. Merle is introduced from another breed that naturally carries a Merle gene. When breeding for color, breeders will breed double Merle dogs which lead to health issues. Selling these mix breed dogs for $3,000 is crazy. This is how much I paid from an ethical purebred breeder who health tests all her dogs through OFA (which is the standard of health testing - and saying they are health tested by genetic testing or at the vet or through embark alone are sales tactics), offers free holter monitor testing for all her puppy buyers when puppies reach adulthood, embarks her puppies free of charge. Her dogs are proven through conformation titles and sport titles. I can meet the parents of my dogs (and have). I can look at our breed registry and track my dogs lineage. Most importantly my dogs didn't come from a mill. This business brags that she gets her puppies from "trusted USDA-licensed breeders" which simply means she's sourcing puppies from breeders who sell puppies site unseen, sell puppies to pet stores and who have a large quantity of breeding females. USDA standards are minimum care standards, not quality standards. They can have dozens or hundreds of dogs, breed frequently and keep dogs in kennel buildings and still pass USDA inspection. Many puppy mills are USDA licensed. Ethical breeders do not sell their puppies to pet stores. They want to vet their potential puppy buyers and make sure their dogs are going to homes that are a good fit. No ethical breeders breed doodles. It goes against the breed club for Poodles. No good breeder would allow their high quality poodle stock or the breed being mixed in, to make doodle mixes. This means that these parent dogs are being sourced from unethical breeders as well and it's poor breeding stock being used. Then, OFA health testing is not being done on these dogs. So people are mixing a lot of unknown genetics in for profit. They are not breeding with structure, health and temperament in mind. Ask about OFA health testing on both parents - they should be able to provide results on the OFA website from both parents. OFA has different tests for different breeds - please research what each breed should be tested for and request to see those results. Doodles should have tests for both breeds. Ask about registration - all dogs should be AKC registered if they are a purebred dog. Doodle registration is meaningless and anything other than UKC or AKC registration is a sales tactic. AKC registration alone does not equal quality. It just verifies pedigree eligibility. I would not consider a purebred dog that could not be registered through AKC, but just because they are AKC registered does not mean they are ethically produced. There are "designer registries" like: Continental Kennel Club (CKC -- not the Canadian one), American Canine Hybrid Club, Various doodle association. These registries do not enforce strict breeding standards, do not require meaningful health testing and mainly exist to create paperwork for marketing. Ask to meet the mother of the puppy you're interested in. Ask about tittles on the parents of the dogs that were bred. Ask about how many litters the mom has had.

This is why the store was being protested and on the news! Alie was only trying to make sure the puppy had all vaccinations including rabies shot before exposing puppy to new environment. They do not care about the welfare of these animals! Horrible response to the customer review by "Nirvana". Nirvana raised her voice and started the whole conflict. The customer did nothing wrong! We were in the store when Alie was there. The customer was only trying to ensure the puppy had all of the vaccines. They wanted to charge $75 boarding fee per day until they were good and ready to get the puppy its vaccine. Irresponsible of the store staff and "owner". Gross to comment on other customer's children on Yelp!! Unprofessional! Nirvana is lying about the entire incident. We witnessed Nirvana make false statements to the police about the customer. Nirvana should be charged for false accusations being made to law enforcement. Claims to be owner here on Yelp but the KVOA story names Mr. KIRKPATRICK as owner. Proof again that Nirvana is a liar. Do not trust Nirvana. Shame on Mr. Kirkpatrick for employing such unprofessional and irresponsible people. This store clearly does not care about the welfare of the animals!!

I am now a member of the board, have adopted 2 dogs through them, raise money for them, and will do anything for this rescue. It's crazy to me that some people would give a 1 star review because their application got denied! We receive tons of applications and sometimes you just aren't the right fit. It happened to me and i didn't cry about it and try to ruin the reputation of the rescue. Shelly has done more for the breed that anyone else in the state of Arizona and maybe even in the entire United States. She has devoted her life to helping these dogs and you attack her and the rescue because you got denied. I have been going to our weekly pack walks for the past 5 years and have never seen any of the people who leave bad reviews show up once. You should be ashamed of yourself for giving these bad reviews. Grow up. This is an amazing rescue built on the backs of volunteers and amazing people like Shelly and her husband Dustin. I will live and die by this rescue and challenge anyone who has anything negative to say. Either show up or shut up. ROTTEN ROTTIE RESCUE FOR LIFE
