Went here with my parent and had an amazing experience here! We booked our spots online (highly…read morerecommend you do that before coming in) to see the cats for one hour, at the cost of 10 dollars. (They charge 5 dollars for every 30 minutes.) We paid at the front, and the worker guided us to the car rooms and made sure we signed in and sanitized our hands first before entering. The cats seem to be decently well-cared for. Some were lively, others seemed lazy, but overall they appeared to be in good health and spirits. They were also very interactive. The moment the two of us stepped into the rooms, the cats immediately came over to us and played. I unfortunately forgot to try out the food/drinks at this place, so I cannot say anything about those... but overall, a great experience!

They are obviously well loved and cared for. They also take the hard luck cases that other shelters won't. They work hard with the feral cats to get them socialized and ready to go to a good home. The new regulations the state has come up with are going to be financially challenging to any shelter, and especially so for the smaller ones. Any donations to them would help, they are not as well known as the bigger shelters and get overlooked at funding time. Volunteers are always needed, and it's a great way to interact with and socialize with the cats.

Arlo is now almost 6 months old and the picture of perfect health. He is now fully vaccinated and has had no health concerns. When I went to the foster's house, they kept the same litter together but, had two different litters in different rooms. I still stand by my four star review and they are an awesome place to adopt from. The foster even checks in from time to time to see how Arlo is doing and wanted to see pictures of him growing up! Also, I mentioned in my previous review that I would rate five stars if they offered more things like microchipping and the like. I stand by that as well but, would like to add that East Coast Adoption Agency is a 501(c)3 and my local shelter gives low cost adoption to dogs adopted from a 501(c)3. Saved a few hundred dollars that way.

We picked her up from the foster home within two hours of them being transported from Birmingham Humane Society so the adoption agency did not know much about her litter. What we thought was kennel cough was advanced pneumonia. All puppies in the litter were hospitalized after being adopted. Our puppy, Hazel, did not make it after being on oxygen for several days. She passed away within a week of us adopting her. All families involved spent thousands on medical bills as our pet insurance did not cover pre-existing conditions or any bills within two weeks of adoption. East Coast Adoptions should change their practice going forward to hold dogs for a longer period of time after transport. They administered antibiotics to our puppy that were inappropriate for her size and made her sick and they do not have dogs by a vet after making it to New York. We are unlikely to ever rescue a dog again but we would never recommend East Coast Adoptions. We know that this was an unfortunate event and everyone is trying their best to rescue dogs but ECA has put dogs and families in terrible situations.

Established in 1986, it was the first of its kind and easily the most impressive animal sanctuary I've ever been to. Situated in upstate New York, it's a marvelous vision, the scenery is paradise. We visited for my daughter's thirteenth birthday; this is the trip she wanted most in the world. Last time she was here, I was wearing her in an infant wrap. Five years from now, I expect she will be FS staff. Scott was our tour guide today and he is perfect at his job. He introduced us to the animal ambassadors and the mission of Farm Sanctuary's founding. My girls, their friend and myself loved interacting with the wonderful animals, learning their names, hearing about their origin stories and seeing how they've adjusted to the kindness of vegans after lives of suffering at human hands.

One month later, once the pup was out of quarantine, I went back. This time, for training. Justin, the trainer, is fantastic. He was very clear in his explanations and Märchen improved by leaps and bounds. Justin was also patient with some of my more random questions (such as how to get him to tolerate getting his hair brushed). It's been over a year now and I'm proud to report that the pup still knows the basic commands we learned together in class - sit, stay, lie down, leave it, touch, and watch me. Of course, there are always new challenges to be conquered and new commands to be learned (if only I could get him to stop begging for food). If I was still in Ithaca, I would have signed up for the intermediate class in a heartbeat!

I contacted Helping hounds dog rescue and filled out an application. Their process is rather simple- fill out the application, provide your veterinarian contact number, and have one reference who knows you call them. Once they approve you, you are free to go and visit all the dogs (protection of the animals i'm assuming and it's a great thing!). The whole process literally took a week. I was able to go to the rescue, tell them which dog(s) i was interested in and they let you walk them and hang out with them before you decide. They even let me "trial" a dog home because I have cats. I feel right in love with my dog who was "Cheers" at the shelter but we renamed her "Ginger". The fee paid (i believe i paid $600) covered all of her vaccinations, neuter, vet visits etc. All of these fees go back into the shelter. I had a phenomenal experience and was matched up perfectly with my dog. I love, love love her and i would highly recommend this rescue if you're looking to give a dog their forever home.
