The process to have him back was easy and communication was perfect since all my questions were answered today. Even providing me with multiple resources for possible low-cost euthanasia services was also very helpful for me and saved me a lot of time. The staff were all very friendly as well. Thank you guys for listening to my explanation on the matter. Because I was able to have him back, I was able to move forward with euthanizing him at a pet hospital that my friend works at and was able to be with him in his last moments just a few hours ago. I really do appreciate all of your help for allowing me to be with him and let him go peacefully. Thank you so much.

Not only did they take the dog in immediately with no questions asked, they helped me clean up my car. This place is amazing

    ADVICE: "BE PERSISTENT"…read more Thank you and kudos to SCPR for taking their time to rescue Pomeranians and finding them the right fit homes. They are a trusted organization and the volunteers/staff truly care for the Pomeranians an want the best fit. The Poms come spade/nurtured, vaccinated, and microchipped. My Pom came with a ton of commands and housebroken and pad trained. Because of them, my heart is overly filled with joy knowing I am a human to that infamous CHLOE! I adopted Chloe on August 28, 2019 after 3.5 weeks of stalker her and sliding DMs to the organization/volunteers - more like blowing up their DMs. LOL. Like I said, "be persistent". - Continuously keep reaching out - Attend their events - Be vocal to the organization and volunteers how interested you are and what is the next step - Good luck being the right fit for your future resume Pomeranian The organization is great. Til this day they keep in touch! HERE'S MY STORY. I have given up trying to adopt a dog because it seems daunting and never ending with dismissing inquiries - it belittled my confidence in ever adopting a rescue. I decided to give my dog search one last try and I saw a picture of Chloe. When I want something, I will go beyond measures to get it. Chloe stole my heart and I knew she'd be mine. I went to the SCPR website and emailed them, followed their social media, and sent messages and received no response. I even noted their address and was determine to drive 1+ hrs but realize it doesn't look like a dog rescue facility. I did my "investigating" on InstaGram and connected a key person (Jasmine) in the organization and slid DM's her way. She connected me to the temp. foster mom (Theresa) caring for Chloe via phone to know more about her personality. She didn't tell me just the good stuff, she truthfully told me about who/how Chloe is - I appreciate that because I've had other organizations say anything just to loadoff the dog. Shortly after, they texted me about the meet and greet event coming up in Irvine that weekend and then it was announced online. I wasn't sure what was expected and so I arrived 2hrs early and waited near by. And was the first person to arrive at the event to meet Chloe and spend time with her. A ton of people were there to check out Chloe and I started to lose my confidence assuming maybe those people are better fit because this is my first dog as an adult and all these other people have dogs an etc. I stayed an extra 1.5hrs observing Chloe and chatting with volunteers and of course checking out my competition. I then asked the organization "what's the next step, I'd like to do a trial". According to them, I was the only one who stepped up and asked and so I got my chance. Little did they know, I have been observing Chloe through pictures and social media for 3 weeks that i have prepared for her to live with me even though I have yet met her (bought her a bed, tons of food she might like from a special dog deli, bought her a few mini tennis balls, bought a camera for my home so I can spy on her, seemed out local small dog parks to take her) - yah, I'm THAT dedicated type of person. Couple days later they arrived in San Diego to do a home inspection and drop Chloe off - I was truly ready for her. Our week trial went great, we were the right fit. While on trial, Chloe got fleas from the dog park and the organization allowed me to take her to their vet to get checked and get medication for her. During trial, they followed up to make sure everything was okay. Their lines of communication was open and I could reach out to them about anything. After a week, we went forward in making the adoption final! They given me a chance to love a rescue dog and I hope to provide Chloe with #livingherbestlife moments in San Diego.

    I know this is a long review, but if you're a pet parent looking for a vet, I hope my experience…read morehelps you make your decision. If you are in the Irvine area and trying to find a veterinary clinic, I can honestly say you don't need to look any further. When I first started searching for a vet, I did what most pet parents do. I called multiple clinics, compared prices, and even visited a few places because I wanted to make the best decision for my dog. It's not easy to find a place you can truly trust. Looking back now, I feel incredibly lucky that I found this clinic. Of course, the basics are all there. Parking is easy, the facility is clean, and everything is well organized. But what really matters is the care you receive, and this is where they truly stand out. I genuinely feel like we found an amazing doctor. There has never been any pressure for unnecessary treatments, and I really appreciate how honest and straightforward they are. If you purchase one of their package plans, the pricing is actually very reasonable. If you're planning to come here long term, I would definitely recommend going with a package. Another thing I truly appreciated is how accommodating they are. Many clinics are fully booked, sometimes a week or even a month out, which can be really stressful when something urgent comes up. There were several times when the doctor did their best to fit us in despite an already packed schedule. On a few occasions, they even continued seeing patients through their lunch break just to help us, and I'm so grateful for that. At the same time, I really hope they take care of themselves too and don't skip meals. Because of that experience, I now make sure to schedule appointments ahead of time whenever I can. One of the biggest reasons I feel so thankful for this clinic is because I frequently travel between the US and Korea with my dog. If you've ever gone through the process of preparing your pet for international travel, you probably know how complicated and stressful it can be. Recently, I went through one of the most stressful experiences I've had as a pet owner. All of our documents were prepared and sent to the USDA through UPS, but unexpected delays from UPS and processing time at the USDA started pushing everything dangerously close to my departure date. For nearly ten days, I was constantly anxious and barely sleeping. It honestly felt like I aged ten years during that time. What meant the most to me during this period was how much the doctor helped, even beyond what would normally be expected. Technically, their responsibility ends after preparing the paperwork, but they continued to track everything with me, kept me updated through calls and emails, and even helped come up with backup plans in case things didn't go as expected. That level of care is something I've never experienced before. While I was staying up late, constantly checking tracking updates and worrying, they were right there doing the same and thinking through solutions with me. I could truly feel how much they cared, not just professionally, but personally. In the end, after so many stressful moments that I can't even fully put into words, the documents finally arrived on the afternoon of my departure day. It honestly felt like a miracle. Thanks to their dedication and support, I was able to travel safely with my dog. I've never experienced this level of care, responsibility, and compassion from a veterinary clinic before. You can genuinely feel how much they care about both the pets and their owners. If you are a pet parent in Irvine trying to find the right vet, I truly hope this review helps you. This clinic has my full trust and my deepest gratitude.

    1 star -- I wish I could give zero…read more I was with my husband at every single visit. I watched Dr. Kwon receive Ado's lab results showing glucose of 509 mg/dL and do nothing for 19 days. On February 11 Dr. Kwon gave Ado an elective vaccine despite his uncontrolled diabetes. We begged for insulin. He refused unless we paid $800 for an ultrasound. My husband sent written emails warning Dr. Kwon that Ado would get DKA. Dr. Kwon ignored every word. I watched my cat deteriorate at home knowing a simple insulin prescription could have saved him. By February 13 Ado crashed. By February 16 he was gone. I held Ado when he was euthanized. I did not want to let him go. I was told he was in too much pain to survive. He was 11 years old and deserved so much better. Dr. Kwon later admitted his delay was due to personal health matters. His own lab results prove his medical excuse was completely false. A formal complaint has been filed with the California Veterinary Medical Board against Dr. Kwon License #17072. Please protect your pet. Go somewhere else.

    I have spent time reading through the reviews for Girls of Dog Rescue, and I am honestly…read moredisappointed by the one-star reviews left by people who were denied adoption due to the rescue's clearly stated rules. Shame on anyone who tries to damage a rescue organization simply because they couldn't accept that they didn't meet the adoption requirements. These rules are in place for one reason: the safety and lifelong well-being of the dogs. Girls of Dog Rescue is strict because they care. They limit adoptions by location so they can conduct proper home visits and ensure each dog is placed in a safe, stable environment. That level of responsibility should be applauded, not criticized. People also forget that rescues are not free to operate. Vet bills, spay/neuter surgeries, medications, vaccinations, food, and rehabilitation for neglected dogs all cost money. Expecting a rescued dog to be "free" ignores the reality of what these organizations take on to save lives. I also appreciate that this rescue requires their dogs to be seen by their designated veterinarian until the dogs reach a certain age. This ensures the dogs receive proper medical care and are spayed or neutered, rather than relying on promises that may never be kept. To those leaving one-star reviews because you were denied: this isn't personal -- it's responsible rescue work. To Girls of Dog Rescue: thank you for putting the dogs first, even when it's unpopular. The glowing, five-star reviews from successful adopters clearly speak louder than the complaints from those who didn't qualify.

    After recently losing my beloved Yorkie of 9 years, my husband and I decided to honor her memory by…read morerescuing rather than purchasing from a breeder. We came across an adorable Shih Tzu pair (a brother and sister) and submitted an application expressing interest in one of them. Within seconds of submitting, I received a call. The representative hadn't read my application at all. When she asked if I currently had a dog and I explained mine had just passed, there was zero acknowledgment; no condolences, nothing. She then informed me it was "unethical" to adopt just one puppy and that I'd need to take both. When I agreed to take both, she reversed course, saying the siblings would "fight" and I couldn't take them together. When I offered to adopt two unrelated dogs instead, the story changed again; apparently a doctor had just been approved for the dog I applied for, mid-conversation, and I was redirected to a one-year-old Yorkie before being abruptly dismissed. The inconsistencies were glaring, the policies shifted in real time, and the entire interaction was handled without a shred of compassion. I am a registered nurse and my husband works in the entertainment industry; we are experienced, attentive pet owners who gave our Yorkie an exceptional life. None of that was considered because my application was never actually reviewed. This experience is precisely why so many people turn to breeders and pet stores instead of rescues. When grieving applicants are met with dismissiveness, fabricated barriers, and contradictory excuses, it doesn't serve the animals; it leaves them in shelters longer. I hope the organization takes a hard look at how their team communicates with prospective adopters.

BROC told me about this, and I didn't believe them but BO follows his sister around like he is his daughter, protecting her and watching over her all the time.
