    Recently went through the process of visiting local shelters and adopting another dog after our…read moreolder dog passed away. This review does not reflect the dogs what-so-ever, so please come visit this shelter to adopt and give these dogs a forever home/family. The sheer number of dogs that this facility has is massive and they have so many dogs to choose from big and small / young and old. We met a few dogs that we absolutely loved, but at the end of the day we ended up adopting another dog in need from another shelter because we felt the staff was a little difficult to deal with. When meeting the dogs, the staff seemed to hinder on the negatives of each dog instead of seeing how happy we were during the meet and greets. I understand they like to warn potential adopters of all possible negatives, but we felt like these employees weren't even "dog-people". Additionally, we noticed after visiting twice that many of these dogs have MULTIPLE pending applications but they don't seem to be in a rush to get them into a home. We understand that it's about finding the best home for each pet, but it's a little discouraging applying for a dog that already has 3 pending applications. Hard to believe not one of these families are qualified. I hope the facility can approve upon these things and give these dogs into the homes they deserve.

I filled out their application to look at the dogs they had. After viewing the dogs, I decided on the one I wanted to adopt. They told me that they would get back to me within the week. If not I should call them back. The following week went by with no calls. I called them and was told that I had to supply them with all of the medical records of my decist dog. What does this have to do with adopting another dog. Upon hearing this, I decided to go elsewhere. Especially when they were charging $400

    Thanks to Happily Ever After Rescue, we met a sweet pup named Margaret (a.k.a. Margarita ). But the…read moremoment we brought her home, she traded in her cocktail name for a crown and became our little princess, Gracie Mae. From the very start, Kristie was so kind, caring, and devoted to making sure their dogs find the perfect forever homes. You can tell how much love they pour into every one of these sweet pups. Amanda and Danielle, that both fostered her were so caring and helpful with all my extra questions too! Gracie Mae has already stolen our hearts -- she gives the best kisses, loves belly rubs, and always wants to be right in the middle of the family action. She's shaken, not stirred, and now officially ruling our castle. Thanks to Happily Ever After Rescue, Margaret a.k.a Margarita became Gracie Mae -- and we truly got our happily ever after.

    Pre-Script: Search HEAR Long Island on Reddit. I wish had…read more Original Post: I'm a person living with a disability, seeking a non-service companion to join my family with my aging service dog. HEAR was aware of this via my detailed application and references. I reached out to HEAR via PetFinder very interested in a pup, Relish, who appeared to be a good match with my family. I entered the adoption process, got all of my references confirmed, completed a virtual home visit, set a meet time, and was sent additional pics and videos of Relish after the visit--all validating Relish as a potential match. It was a very hopeful and exciting moment. However, in the same text I was informed I was approved for adoption from HEAR, I was also informed Relish was just adopted, within 18 hours of my confirmed meetup. Prior to this, I was not informed I was competing for the match. Had I advance notice, I might've made other arrangements, but I wasn't offered the opportunity or the warning. I've volunteered for and dealt with more than a dozen rescue agencies in my region as an advocate and supporter, as well as several others throughout my childhood. None of the agencies I've worked with have been less transparent than HEAR. No one wants to be in the position of visualizing a potential family member in their lives, and planning for that hopeful first meeting, only to have them cancelled from the equation less than 18 hours before the meet--removed with no notice of other variables.Instead, they sent pics of other dogs. I've requested my adoption application with HEAR be closed, as I would never recommend anyone who wishes to ethically enter a relationship with a rescue rely on HEAR for the availability of the hopeful companion, or transparency in general. Reply to HEAR's response to this post: HEAR says there were delays. HEAR says I'd rather garden?? These are absolute falsehoods. The timeline below is clear. All communications and appointments were honored. May 11, Kristie confirmed my May 10 application and requested documentation of my landlord's permission to have a second dog. May 12, I submitted that documentation. May 14, Kristie apologizes for *her* delay, and informs me she'll be reaching out to my three references. All references responded the same day, after I let them know to check their "unknown numbers" folder. Friday, May 15, at 7:28pm, a virtual home visit is requested by Kristie. I was already on my farmstead for the weekend--I detailed the farmstead in my application. I let Kristie know I was upstate, and offered to FaceTime from there or when I got back home. She said she'd wait. I proposed a meet time, but Kristie said it could happen whenever, to just text her when I'm home, that she'd be "around." I texted Monday, May 18 to make arrangements. We set it for the next day, May 19. The virtual visit happened with her partner, Sam, because Kristie was unavailable when I texted. During that meeting, an appointment was made to specifically meet Relish on May 23 at the HEAR event. Prior to the arranged meet date, I inquired of its flexibility because planting became a factor--planting is absolutely critical and 100% dependent on weather and climate. Sam responded that probably wouldn't work. So, I CONFIRMED the original meet time. I very clearly confirmed my motivation and intent to meet and spend time with this specific sweet boy, Relish. Still, he was adopted out from under me. NOT ONCE was I informed there were other applicants for him. Not once were any other factors or obstacles to adopting Relish mentioned. And not once did I miss any appointments or communications. I've dealt with much more honest and ethical agencies. It's HEAR's opaque practices that might hurt their ability to adopt, not this honest review. Post-Script: Sam even mentioned she didn't want to leave Relish alone at night with her dogs, because "god forbid something happen." Apparently, that was a legitimate risk as per Reddit. It's absolutely shocking that injury to fosters is still a risk they take.

    Long Island Feline Adoption Center - Two cats who found a good home thanks to LI Feline Adoption Center

    Long Island Feline Adoption Center is a great place to find your new feline friend! I have recently…read morefostered a pair of kittens for them, and I couldn't have more good things to say about them. The owner and staff are extremely dedicated to rescuing abandoned and stray cats and kittens, and finding them loving homes. The pair of cats that we fostered were actually found by the manager of the pet store in which the adoption center is located, who is also an avid animal rescuer. They were only 2-3 weeks old, underweight, and would have certainly died in the cold if they hadn't been taken in. After a few weeks of TLC and lots of milk and food, they were the as cute and playful as any kitten could ever be. Once they were ready to be adopted, we gave them back to LI Feline Adoption center, and within days, someone had the greatest Christmas present ever. The adoption center itself is located with the store Pet Supplies Plus (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pet-supplies-plus-smithtown) in the far back-right corner of the store. They have a great facility with big windows so you can even window shop if you want. Even if you do see that exact cat or kitten that you are looking for, go in and talk to the people running the center. They only have room for so many cats in the adoption center itself, the rest are in foster homes. Chances are that they can help you find a perfect pet for you. Also, as with any rescue or adoption center, is you know you're not just getting a great pet, but you've also saved a life.

I filled out background check papers and came back for an interview with my eldest daughter to speak to a person named Sherryl. At the end of the interview she said we would most likely be approved for the kittens and could have them The following Saturday. She calls me back the next day and because my eldest daughter was still upset over the loss of our dog and couldn't come out and say I want these kittens she said we could not have them. We will never go back and will never recommend this adoption center. Those kittens would have had a great home and now we are heartbroken again. we just adopted two kittens from Islip animal shelter and they are doing just fine.
