Between Southern Counties Rescue and Petfinders I'm not impressed with either one…read more I was looking for a Nebelung cat to replace one that had passed a couple of years ago. I checked the Petfinders site and found one that my wife and I were very interested in. This led me to Southern Countries Rescue site. I filled out their rather extensive application and received a phone call a few days later to follow up on the application. It was implied that the cat we were looking for was in San Clemente, Ca.. I was on a trip and decided to see him at a pet adoption event at a pet store at the suggested location. I met with a pleasant woman and discussed the cat I was interested in adopting. She informed me that the cat is located in El Centro, Ca. and not San Clemente. That was a reason he's was not at the adoption event. However, she informed me that he was still available and that I would be notified later in the week for me to see him. I could either drive to El Centro or they might possibly bring him by my location in San Diego. I asked if I need to do anything else in the way of contacting someone to set this up and was told no, they would be contacting me later in the week. My wife and I had a short trip planned for 3 days and it would not impact meeting the cat. We arrived home sooner than expected in hopes of meeting the cat. No one ever called me or my wife nor did they bother to email me to let me know of any changes. I waited around Friday through Sunday but no one ever contacted us. I went back to the Petfinders website and the cat we were looking at was no longer listed on their site. I'm not sure if this is a standard practice for them but I will not recommend their organization based upon my experience with them. I mentioned early on that I wasn't happy with Petfinders either. The reason for this is I inquired about another cat in Northern California to adopt also. I contactEd the agency and never heard from anyone there as well. I checked their site later and the cat I was interested in was no longer listed on the Petfinders site. I realize Petfinders is a middleman for adoptable pets. I feel they should be required to vet the adoption agencies as stringently as agencies vet the potential pet owners. It would reduce the level of frustration experienced by those of us looking for a rescue pet. I'm beginning to understand why so many pets go un-adopted. I won't be utilizing anymore pet rescue sites after this experience.

Everyone here is so dedicated to taking care of these wonderful animals and finding them a good home. There are so many animals to choose from and they don't have a lot of room. The animals are well cared for & love all of the staff. It was such a wonderful experience after trying to rescue dogs from other places. Desiree was so helpful in directing me to the right dog for me. I came in to see one, but her understanding & experience helped me to see we weren't the right fit. I ended up adopting a Chipin & love her very much. Never would I have looked at that breed for myself but, she is perfect for our family. Thank you for all of your hard work & love you give these animals. The adoption fees are reasonable. Especially because your dog will be spayed/neutered, chipped, and vaccinated. Any donations would be appreciated as well!

Imperial County (and the U.S.!) is experiencing it's worst covid outbreak since the pandemic began…read moreand the front desk clerk at this clinic was NOT WEARING A MASK. I asked her about it and she said it was because she had to answer the phone. ***NO***. I walked out. I told her I couldn't check my dog in because I didn't feel safe because she wasn't wearing a mask. During this deadly covid season we're all living through right now, when I see people in public not wearing a mask, I can only assume they are part of the crowd that has politicized mask-wearing, and that not wearing one is an intentional, overt expression of their rebellion. Which is really stupid imo, but, in any case, I would think that even business owners who don't personally agree with the idea of masks would wear them and have their staff wear them anyway so that their clients feel safe enough to give them their business. Well, this would-be client is appalled. I have elderly at-risk parents at home and this blatant disregard for human life is infuriating. I'll never go there again, and I'll forever rant against anyone else taking their pet there.

Wow, what to say about PRC!!! First Christine is a down to earth hardworking dog loving woman. She…read morehas built a piece of heaven for these rescue dogs. Dogs that are dumped or pulled from shelters are brought into the pet rescue center, rehabilitated of necessary, receive training in basic obedience and agility as well as spay/neuter, vaccines, microchipping, and a veterinary exam. The rescue ensures the right for for both dog and owner and on multiple occasions the director has said I know you want her but this is who you need and avoided a placement that would have caused frustration for all involved. She ensures that if a dog is found every attempt is made to reconnect it with it family even when the family is sadly unappreciative of this. They have training classes to fundraise for the rescue and would love more volunteers :) I find visiting this place to be zen as I am sure the dogs do also.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!…read more I have been patient in looking to add a kitten/cat to our family and stumbled across Marigold on a fosters Instagram page which prompted me to submit an application. Kat reached out the very next day after reviewing our application and pre approved us. Yelena reached out for all coordination afterwards. Marigold was not even posted on the rescues page but they were so kind and were able to get us in to meet her. The foster mom (and dad) were wonderful and have been doing this for so long (60+ kitties). We instantly fell in love with Marigold and were able to be selected to adopt her (pat on our back for being able to provide a good home). She came from a hoarder home and was lucky to survive from malnutrition. We came back to get her after getting she completed her shots/spayed. Not even 24 hours in, my one year old tabby loves her and she is settling in perfectly. I will say I have had not so great experiences with other rescues in the area and Dirty Little Paws surpassed all expectations! I hope one day I can repay them and foster another baby in need.

They never pick up the phone, and when you bring in a stray animal, they complain that they even have to take it. Many times, they huff and puff when you simply walk in with an animal. I'm sure it's due to overcrowding, but what are we supposed to do? I personally volunteer at the Coachella Valley Animal Shelter (unfortunately a kill shelter), and you have NO idea how many sweet animals come in because Palm Springs will not take them without a Palm Springs ID. Even if the animal was found in Palm Springs, you must have an ID to prove it. They call themselves a "no-kill shelter," but they sure know the loopholes.
