I adopted a puppy from Happy Paws Rescue in Yuba City in July 2025…read more. Lincoln (formerly Bryan) is playful, curious, loving, smart, & coexisting nicely with his cat brothers. He's also visited the vet clinic I've been taking my fur babies to for several years & has a clean bill of health from them. Pros: - Very responsive to my phone calls. - Friendly! - Puppy was as promised, clean, healthy, & I was provided guidance on his current diet, vaccinations, etc. - 20% off a local pet store in Yuba City which did help me save some money on his 1st set of toys & training treats. Things to Consider: - Unable to visit the shelter itself. Not something that bothered me too much as I assumed their small animal rescue is a private residence & I instantly fell in love with Lincoln. Still something to think about though if you want the chance to play with your potential new pet at the rescue to see if you're a good fit for the pet. - Varying pricing according to how much I paid ($750) vs. what other reviews say. They do seem pricier than most rescues I've experienced overall. - My puppy wasn't fully vaccinated or neutered before adoption. Those are add'l costs you may have to consider if you're interested in a young pet from them, but they did promise a $75 refund if you provide proof of the spay/neuter surgery & request the refund. Would I recommend them? Yes, based on my experience.

I was qualified for a puppy that I was told about and I was waiting for a picture of him. In the…read moremean time I readied myself to drive 12 hours to pick up this puppy without a name. I asked for a picture and when they responded they told me not to leave and the puppy was no longer available and that the "rescue" was no longer adopting out of the state. I am glad now that I see the reviews I am happy that they "did me wrong". They changed policy overnight- literally. They pushed me out of wanting to adopt from a rescue and buy from a breeder. How sad. (I did try with another rescue as well, but they were more ethical with how they did things, but not the right fit)

My family and I have adopted three cats from this location, and two out of three of them have…read moremedical issues. We adopted a year old cat a year ago and we took her to the vet. We found out she has heart murmurs. The latest kitten we have adopted has had a mild issue with walking after a couple of days, and now he's lying in a blanket and won't move. This is seriously heartbreaking for my daughter. He is her kitten and we've had him for under a month. I do plan on seeking legal counsel for this matter. My other children are also upset by this. Before this matter, he was a very loving kitten and would sleep with my wife and I every night. He can barely hold his head up now. I do not have very kind words for the people who run this place, and I hope we, as a community, have this place shut down.

She told me that if we wanted the money back ($350) we should have returned the dog and that all it seemed like we cared about was money. They are the people concerned about money or returning the money wouldn't have been an issue. Their website states that their dogs all see a vet. That is not true. My PERSONAL dealings with this rescue has been horrible. Do not adopt from them. They are horrible people that disguise a puppy mill by calling it a rescue.

This woman is flagrantly rude and only cares about money, NOT the animals…read more 13 weeks ago, my Doberman had an accidental litter of puppies (at no point have I or will I deny responsibility for this). I have reached out to rescues and shelters across multiple counties over the last couple of months. I have posted on Craigslist, Facebook, reached out to friends and family. I vet anyone and everyone who inquires about these pups because I truly want them to go to a good home. Today (after receiving permission from the owner of the company) my husband and I took four puppies to their aforementioned company to attempt to have them adopted. Deb arrived for her own adoption event, and when she did, she approached us with an extremely disrespectful and aggressive demeanor. She asked what our fee was, told us we should be charging MORE, and told us that we were UNDERCUTTING HER PROFIT by being there. She ranted about how she had to reduce the price of one dog she had from $850 down to $350. She also told us we were breaking the law, which she could not reference or provide any source of reference for. We are not breeders. We are not a rescue. We are not professionals at this, but Deb certainly is not a professional in any way shape or form and this is her BUSINESS. I am disgusted with her treatment. I'm a nice and amenable person in general. If she would have said any of this in a polite way, we would have stepped aside, apologized, and left. But she was so worried about her own profits she chose to be demeaning, condescending, and just plain rude. Which is 100% unacceptable in my book.

Reptiles walking around the store always seem lethargic and sad. I've seen sick/dead fish, and chinchillas out of their enclosures in a hot store (they are from a snowy climate and are very sensitive to heat). Not to mention the "pond" in the middle of the store with WAY too many large fish. It's unfortunate and I felt guilty every time I had to go in there. It stinks horribly in there too.

This happened today, store #1314 Yuba City…read more My wife had a pet grooming appointment today at 8:00. She arrived ten minutes early to a line of people and employees. After waiting about 25 minutes and the store not being open, my wife walked and asked an employee what was going on, and the employee said the manager wasn't there to open the store and it happens "more often than you would think." My wife left, not wanting to wait god knows how long for the store to open. She then got a call telling her we missed our appointment. We didn't miss it, the store was closed. I then tried calling the store to get the corporate office number. The woman on the phone told me it was Melissa's fault. She told me me MELISSA IS THE STORE MANAGER AND SHE WASNT THERE TODAY!!!!! I repeat, she told me #1 Melissa is the store manager, #2 Melissa was in charge of opening the store this morning and #3 she wasn't there today. After I asked why she was in charge of opening the store, if she isn't there today, she admitted that she was Melissa. The woman on Phone told me she, MELISSA, was the store manager, and she, MELISSA, wasn't there today. Wouldn't be surprised if her name wasn't even actually Melissa the pathological liar she is. So CLARA, the actual store manager (if you exit and aren't another made up lie.) You have an employee, Claiming to be the Store manager, Claiming to be named Melissa habitually not opening you store in time and lying to your customers. Store #1314
