    Shadow (adopted 2017) and Dakota (adopted 2018)
    Eric P.

    Not sure what's up with the recent bad reviews... My wife and I adopted two German Shepherds from Saving Paws, Shadow in 2017 and Dakota in 2018. We had nothing but great experiences with both adoptions. The process was easy but thorough as they only want to place dogs in good homes. A recent review spoke of adoption costs, and they are obviously unaware of all that Saving Paws does for these dogs. Dakota came to the rescue with a broken leg as she was hit by a car, then abandoned, and they spent over 1k on medical bills alone, in turn our adoption cost was only $350. Running a rescue is expensive between feeding, housing, medical, and other bills, along with caring for dogs that are hard to adopt/unadoptable. I have told plenty of people about the good that Saving Paws does and would recommend them to anyone, they are a professional organization run by great volunteers.

    I can't say enough good things about Saving Paws Rescue! We adopted Harley (FKA Taffy) from one of their rescued mama's Dolly. Tara was so great to deal with through the adoption process and the puppies had been well taken care of by Tara, Charis and others. They prepared us with everything we needed to take a 9 week old puppy home including food and toys, checked in often, came to the house to give her other shots after the adoption. The rescue also has a trainer, Jeff Mason, that volunteers his time with SPR dogs! Jeff hosts free (yes free professional training) for all of us adopters. He even went out of his way and came to our house on the weekend to start our training. This group saves so many German Shepherds and devotes their lives to making sure they have great homes. We are grateful to give one of their dogs a forever home.

    This rescue is run by an incredible group of angels who sacrifice everything for these dogs. They not only save lives, but rehabilitate and restore dignity. I really love Saving Paws and all they do. They've adopted out over 200 dogs and still remember each one by name! When a dog comes into Saving Paws, it leaves with a new life and is no longer just a dog... It is forever a loved Saving Paws adopted baby. Thank you for all you do!! My parents and I both have rescues from Saving Paws and we will forever be grateful for everything they do. I think it's important for potential adopters to understand that rescues are very strict about who their dogs go to because they want to make sure each dog goes to its final forever home. They wait for that perfect fit. These pups come from terrible situations, and Saving Paws does everything they can to ensure a dog goes to the best possible home - they deserve nothing less! All it takes is a trip to the "dog house" to see that the utmost care and affection is dedicated to all of their furry guests. Or you can ask one of us - the lucky ones who already have a Saving Paws baby at home!

    We brought Vixen to her new forever home today! She is a super girl! The volunteers did an incredible job with this pup - she was malnourished and in bad shape when she arrived at the shelter. Now she is happy and ready for training and lots of long hikes! Thank you to all of the wonderful volunteers!!!

    Meet Delilah. She was found by Saving Paws so she could rescue us.

Kristie helped us get this under control, so we can now have an enjoyable walking experience with our dog. While we were working on this, Kristie also helped us with some basic command refinements with all 3 of our dogs. One of our dogs needed a little confidence boost, and she taught us how to work with him to strengthen this. Kristie is clear in her instructions to the humans and is patient with answering questions and modeling how to give commands and corrections. She built a positive relationship with our dogs and with us. We have enjoyed the experience and appreciate the changes in our dogs' behavior.

For dog sitting, in our home, we've used Michelle several times now and she is great. Our 3 dogs love her and she clearly loves them too. We have 2 Great Danes and Beagle/Boston Terrier mix who are getting up there in age. Our male Great Dane has a number of health issues and Michelle handles it all so well. There's a laundry list of medications for the dogs and she does a great job keeping up with it all. She doesn't mind when I'm that helicopter dog mom and I check too often on my sick boy. Regardless of his illness, Michelle sends many pictures and text updates on how things are going with all the dogs. As a very protective momma, I trust Michelle completely with my furbabies and home. We love having Michelle take care of our babies... so much so that when we were planning the August trip we just completed, she wasn't available on our original dates, so we moved our trip to make sure she was available. I appreciate the freedom Kristie and Michelle offer us to get away several times a year. I completely trust them. Give them a shot!

    This rescue is phenomenal!…read more Last week, I adopted my second dog from here. I met with Chris who really took the time to get to know me and talk about the dog I was going to see before bringing him out. I really like how you can meet the dog in a calm environment (out in front of their house under the shade). This rescue is run by a family of four very committed people. They keep the dogs in a home on a large lot; the dogs are not kenneled. The animals are really in a "home" like environment until they find their forever families. They like to keep in touch with adopters, which is awesome and really shows that they care about placing dogs in the perfect home. I would definitely recommend this rescue to anyone looking to adopt a dog!

My little guy was scheduled to be killed because he was so scared. HOME took him in, cleaned him up and took care of him until I met him a month later. I went to an adoption day to look for another dog and saw my future babe in a corner licking his cage. It was love at first sight. He was the missing piece to our family. I can tell he was house trained by HOME and also treated very well. They made sure to interview us and make sure we kept in touch with them to let them know how it worked out. He has no behavioral issues, no health issues and they transferred his registration and microchip into my name after a month. They make sure their dogs don't end up on the street again. This organization also provides extensive medical care for injured dogs out of pocket. I always donate whenever I can. I will never forget the immense gift they gave me just by saving the life of a dog I would come to love more than anything. I would highly recommend this rescue!
