We attended an adoption event and were told by the director that the dog we wanted to meet could…read moreonly be adopted to a family with a companion dog. But the bio on the site, which was written by the foster who actually lived the dog said otherwise. So the director, who hasn't spent time with the dog, is making adoption decisions for them without really knowing them. We met a few other dogs and filled out an application that asked us to list multiple choices for dogs, our vet's contact information, and 3 references. The director then selected a dog (that wasn't our first choice) for us and said we'd be perfect for this dog. We met the foster and the dog and there was literally zero connection. Our references told us they were "grilled" by a representative of the agency about our fenced yard, how we cared for our previous dogs, how did they know us, and what kind of people we were. One reference was admonished for the type of collar he used on his dog. He wasn't adopting a dog from them and his trainer is the one who recommended the collar. So how was this even necessary? A representative of the rescue called our vet twice. The first time they talked to the receptionist who answered their questions. Then they called back and asked for a vet or a technician. The receptionist told me they asked the technician detailed questions about our deceased dogs health care. The technician had to pull up the records going back close to 20 years. Then we got an email from the the director who chastised us for not having our last dog neutered. Even though our vet said it was healthier for him to not be fixed. Our first dog was fixed and he had cancer. The vet said this type of cancer was typical for neutered males. Our last dog lived a long and healthy life. So our vet was right, at least based on our experience. And the dog we were assigned was already neutered. So why did that even matter? We had to do a virtual phone visit where we put Warrior Dog Rescue on a video chat and had to show every room in our home, including opening the closets. They needed to see the inside of closets "to make sure we weren't hoarding cats or cooking meth." The adoption contract states that Warrior Dog Rescue reserves the right at any time in the dog's life to check with your vet to make sure vaccinations are up to date. And if they're not, they reserve the right to "impound the dog" and you are responsible for their legal fees. At that point, we declined to adopt the dog that was assigned to us. I understand you want the dog to go to a loving home, but to put someone through all of this to adopt a pet is excessive. And we weren't going the spend the next 10+ years looking over our shoulders worried that our family member would get taken away from us because a vaccination was a week or two off schedule. And then be taken to court over legal fees. This review is based solely on our experience and here to inform others of what to expect if they go through this rescue. Fortunately, there's other options out there.

Wow, what a wonderful shelter!!!…read more Rather than being in sad cages, all the cats are in rooms - some with other cats if they get along or need some socialization (and some alone if they are divas!) The rooms are all SUPER clean with lots of beds, perches, toys, litterboxes, etc. and the cats all looked very well cared for. They all got turns to come out of the rooms and explore the hallways for a while. The staff were great and very friendly. They knew a lot about the cats and who might be a good fit for the adopter - making sure that every kitty goes to a home that will let them thrive the most. If you are looking for a cat this is 100% a shelter you need to visit. You have to make an appointment but you will most likely have the place to yourself to get to know the cats. Well worth the extra bit of effort (we had recently gone to an adoption event at another shelter and it was so busy and most of the cats were off in "visiting rooms" so you couldn't meet them very well.

I have a special place in my heart for CFC…read more Visiting animal shelters can honestly be depressing, but I used to volunteer here in college and it is the most well-run no-kill shelter I've seen; the cats are living VERY comfortably. Rather than keeping the cats in kennels or cages, the cats can free roam within rooms that are specific to their personality type or medical conditions. There's a big main room for the social cats and kittens, another room for cats that are shy, a third room for cats with dietary restrictions/food sensitivities, and a fourth for kitties who are FeLV positive. The rooms have windows and beds and space for them to move around, which is so nice to see! This is a nonprofit no-kill shelter in a fairly small town so because they are volunteer based, they don't have long daily visiting hours. However you can rest assured that the cats get plenty of socialization and attention. These are very happy, very loved cats :) Staff here are also very active on social media so check out the Caring For Cats Facebook page to see all of the cats and their stories, to donate, or to participate in their fundraising events! If you're in the market for a fluffy new best friend, please consider making the trip CFC!
