    Want to be berated and told you killed your dog who died of old age? look no furthers, because that is the kind of treatment you will receive while going through the application process of this "rescue". They will tell you that you caused your animals to die painfully because you didn't give them Chinese homeopathic herbs. Rompin Paws follows a homeopathic veterinarIan practice that is problimatic is so many ways. They heavily quote a celebrity veterinarian who, when googling, the second most common search is "veterinarians name Quack!" They are nothing but re-sellers who only take in/rescue designer breeds and charge for their specific brand of dog food and care. And per the owners Facebook page, she has had tons of cases of Parvo in her home rescue, and has lost multiple dogs and puppies to the illness in February 2023 alone. She is treating this illness with Homeopathic tinctures instead of following current medical guidelines.

    I have no words for the type of service my daughter and her biological mother received yesterday from this woman. First off my daughter is 14 and had no idea this was a dog only shelter or contact wouldn't have been made. This place is completely unprofessional... there are millions of other places out there to help you with your pet or stray. If I could give this place a negative rating it be -100 starts! Make the drive to Noah if you can!

    **i also posted this on google reviews because not everyone uses yelp and I feel this is important information.** The other reviews about Cheryl's abusive treatment of potential adoptive families are absolutely true. We lost one of our chihuahuas in early March and have since been looking for a new buddy for our remaining senior chihuahua. I really should have read the google reviews before applying. Other's have complained about slow response but Cheryl replied back quickly - Now I wish she hadn't replied at all because the email I received was absolutely the most hostile response I have ever received from a shelter. Cheryl took Umbridge with the fact that I don't have my 13 year old chihuahua (who on a dedicated exercise routine and instead let the dog play, run around, and go for short walks outside at her own pace. Apparently this makes me a cruel and neglectful owner because I am not rushing her to surgery (which isn't even recommended as treatment usually) or putting her on the very specific supplement regimen that Cheryl feels is necessary. I see that the owner is quite active in the comments here so I would like to share what my response was to their email: "I appreciate that you feel there are red flags and I would have happily discussed them if you felt I need to be educated on something. We have worked diligently with our vet in regard to feeding, exercise and overall health of our chihuahuas. Your response was so shameful and hostile I don't even know what to say. Cheryl, you are the founder so I'm guessing the buck stops with you - and since you wrote this response I have little hope that this email will do anything. Bottom line, this is an abhorrent way to respond to someone and I sincerely hope you take some time to evaluate how you interact with people." I am also posting a photo of the email that was sent to me in the first place so folks can see for themselves exactly what kind of interaction this was. I would say that anyone who wants to adopt from this shelter better have a thick skin and a very healthy sense of self esteem in order to survive the process. Edit To Add - Cheryl's response was just as delightful as expected. Apparently, working with a Vet is a scam you should just google it. I feed my dog Fresh Pet dog food and apparently that kills them? My 16 year old Chihuahua that recently passed is because I am a terrible owner and she would want to confiscate my dogs because as a rescuer with access to google she must be the best dog owner ever. I recently had 2 different pups that we brought home as a trial that we did return to the rescue because we did not think we were the best fit. Both dogs turned out to be pets who would do best in a house with a fenced yard rather than an apartment. But apparently being conscious of whether an adoption is a good fit makes me an unfit and abusive owner. Jesus. What a piece of work.

    I was able to add my sweet new family member back in August thanks to Homeward…read more The people are truly all so nice and the facility is extremely clean. They have put a lot of thought into providing the best care for dogs; music in the kennel room, private rooms for dogs that need them, prioritizing special needs dogs getting into foster homes and out of the kennel environment They even go above and beyond by spending time training dogs and puppies in their agility room. Their social media pages follow a few of the same dogs which just shows the dedication the members at Homeward have to maximizing the amount of people to see their adoptable pups. The quality and the passion truly show at Homeward. I am grateful for my dog and the people that took such good care of him at Homeward when he was there.

    This is the best place to adopt a dog. The time the staff spends with you is top notch. The quality…read moreof care for the animals and the new parent adopters are amazing. I've been to several shelters in the past year to adopt and it's been up and down. I went here on a Saturday after work and brought home my fur ever baby girl. I'm a proud happy fur mom . This is the happiest day of my life . I cried so many tears of joy when I was able to adopt my new female dog. I named her Sasha. Previously known as Oldsmobile. Sasha is the absolute sweetest girl ever. Sasha is what my heart needed. As a puppy she is very smart. Introducing to crate has been fairly well. Eating wow this girl can eat, run, do sprints around the house, yard and is super excited. I am too lol. Potty training is going very well in the morning she wakes me up with kisses to say she has to go and stands by door we go out. We have a routine. Totally recommend Homeward Per adoption to everyone. You will never be disappointed. The accept donations from you if your pet has passed away, been surrendered or you just want to donate, food, toys, supplies for dogs and cats. Well, I could continue to give praises all day. Gotta go mommy duty is calling.

Lastly, I really appreciate the pet loss and support group I attended when we lost our 15 y/o cocker spaniel (that I adopted from SHS).

Some people manage to get pre-approved for pets but there is no way to do that on the website, which is confusing. The bad: Seattle Humane listed a dog as no special needs. We took time off work, prepared to visit and apply, we were ready. First in line, the volunteer told me before we met the dog she's undergone 3 operations - 2 for cancer- since arriving. Also she had a major bladder operation and requires special food and no treats, recurrence is likely. None of these are deal breakers for potential adopters w a big budget for operations, but why wasn't this in the description. We met the dog and she was cute, but we didn't get a room- we got to go in her little kennel and squat down (avoiding the urine) and try to get to know this dog who is still wearing a big plastic e-collar. Poor pup! Also meeting her first me, then my husband (as volunteers handed out peanut butter on bags as enrichment which she wanted badly) was chaos. I know these places are busy, and smaller animals are in demand, but for the sake of the dog's success in a new home please be more up front about medical problems AND reward our time outside in the cold lined up for opening by giving us a place to visit where we could both meet the dog without her bumping her plastic head protector on us. Last spring my husband was first in line seeing a dog- they sat him in the kennel w a dog who never came out from the divider in back. They interrupted his visit to say "sorry someone was ahead of you, you need to leave". This was another odd case of a successful dog family being treated like we're really not welcome nor do they care if we adopt. Our last dog lived to be almost 18, our last two cats were 18 and 19 when they passed. Our dog and one cat we're both special. Medical needs. I've trained and shown dogs and I volunteered with animal rescues for over 20 years. I've been on multiple boards of directors for shelters. Adopters are potential donors and supporters and I wish Seattle humane took that more seriously. We were very sad that the dog we had hoped to adopt and arrived. Prepared to apply turned out to have medical needs that were never disclosed. That little dog could've been taken home by the wrong family who really doesn't understand the scope of her medical needs because they didn't find out until they got to the counter and already had their heart set on her. That is the wrong journey for the dog and the humans.
