When I adopted my dog years ago he looked terrified in his picture on the website. When I went to pick him up I wasn't allowed in the back. The front was bare and shabby looking. While I was waiting they were baiting a big German Shephard with a cat behind the counter to see if the dog got along with cats. That was when I decided "I don't like this place." When I got my dog they made me sign a waiver that said if he was ever surrendered he had to go back to Unleashed. That's a big NO. read more

I adopted a dog from this organization in 2019. I drove 2 hours to pick the dog up & suspiciously the heart worm results had been misplaced. They said I could come back another day to pick up the dog. No regard for my travels. They couldn't get the test done that day. Go figure. I decided to take the dog anyway. What a shocker to find out it she was HW positive... almost as if the script had been written. The head of this rescue treats herself to a nice 6 figure salary while the animal treatments fall short. A simple web search will let you know they've been investigated for poor practices. They have a history this. Volunteers will tell you the facility conditions are horrid & only certain folks are allowed behind the scenes. Beware!!! https://fox4kc.com/news/problem-solvers/new-details-released-in-states-investigation-of-unleashed-pet-rescue/ read more

This is an updated review. I adopted a dog from unleashed. He has had some problems, including kennel cough and some pretty severe aggression discovered when I took the dog to the vet. I hadn't been given the dog's medical records so was having a hard time getting him established with his new vet and insurance, especially since I had to get his kennel cough treated. He got pretty sick with that. Ultimately his records were released to me, but they weren't directly given to me at the time of the adoption, which would have helped a lot. The adoption process was pretty hurried with not a lot of conversation. I wish the adoption counselor had spent just a little more time, although I know they're busy. The dog has some behavioral problems. He has fear-related aggression towards both people and dogs. I wish he had received a behavioral evaluation from someone with some expertise in dog behavior, and/or that any known history would have been discussed while meeting him. He's a wonderful dog and I'm glad I have him, but it would have been helpful to know what I was getting into up front. He's now going into intensive (and costly) day camp training, followed by the regular obedience classes you can and should do with any new dog. I'm glad I was able to give him a home willing and able to address his issues. It just would have been helpful to have the knowledge and medical records up front. read more

You can really tell how much they care about the animals in their care. Plus, they saved my dogter from a kill shelter in Texas so they can do no wrong in my eyes. read more

As much as it pains me to leave them a negative review, this is a must. They allowed me to take a cat home that was supposed to be under treatment for an upper respiratory infection AND that was positive for coccidia. The kitten has bloody stool and is sneezing. He clearly still has coccidia and an upper respiratory infection, neither of which I was told about when I adopted him. They don't email you the records until AFTER you adopt. Now, the kitten is here and has exposed the other kitten I also adopted yesterday. Highly unethical and shameful practice. This is the first time I have had an issue with their shelter, but to me, it's a big one. Now, this will need to be remedied on MY DIME as I live 3 hours away, so I can't simply return the kittens. When I called they said "they stopped the URI treatment" and when I responded with, "the vet said treatment was twice daily for 10 days on the paperwork" there was no answer for that. Nor any reason for allowing a kitten to suffer with coccidia causing bloody loose stool. Unleashed, treat your animals, and for God's sake- EDUCATE your staff. read more

I adopted a three month old puppy from them a couple months ago. They did NOT tell me that she had gotten spayed the day prior to me adopting her. They gave me no instructions on how to take care of it, and therefore it started getting puss and it just did not look good so we ended up in the hospital the day after adopting her. I wish I would've read more into unleashed before I adopted her, but unfortunately I did not. I would not recommend anyone going there. I've read TERRIBLE things about this place. (They wouldn't let us go to the back and look around at the dogs and that was the first red flag.) I feel sad for the animals there. I really hope this place gets shut down for good and those sweet animals can find a new shelter/forever home. read more

Terrible place to adopt from. We adopted from them years ago and our dog was so sick and they did not care. I would never recommend this place to anyone. I feel sorry for the animals going thru here. They are liars and their background check for adoption is a joke. All about the money. read more

I REALLY used to respect this rescue and the owner. I fostered a couple of amazing dogs, sure some hiccups along the way but none the less, great pups and service. I usually wouldn't write this but the "assistant" to the owner (Brittany) shouldn't even have her name tied to this place. Her audacity and nerve. I had a family member close to death and she chewed me out for not picking up a puppy because of it. SHAME on her character and shame on unleashed for keeping her employed. read more

My mom adopted a pet in 2019 for $350. Now my mom died and I've been taking care of the dog since then. I have been on their waitlist to return the dog for 9 months. I am about to lose my housing and they still won't take her. That huge adoption fee of all their animals should be going somewhere to where they can at least fill their obligation of being able to return a pet adopted from them. read more

My husband and I met Koda at an event at a nearby Pet Supplies Plus. He's a wonderful dog. This rescue is not wonderful. He was never vetted while in their care even though they knew he was heartworm positive (according to records they received when they took him in). One good thing about this rescue is that they paid for his heartworm treatment. We're so confused and frustrated why they didn't take him to the vet or treat his heartworm before putting him up for adoption. I've never known a rescue to put an animal up for adoption that wasn't given a clean bill of health. It's not a matter of timing either. They had Koda for so long that they waived his adoption fee so obviously there was time for him to go through treatment. It seems so cruel to knowingly allow him to live with such a condition. When I expressed these concerns with the president, Jasmine, she was dismissive and defensive and then she completely ignored my two subsequent emails. Koda recently had his final vet appointment to test for traces of heartworm and he is clean! We like to say that we reached him from this rescue. read more

I had a great experience, I arrived over the lunch hour and filled out a waiver to meet the pup I saw online. After a brief introduction to the team at Unleashed, I was escorted to a meet&greet room. The handler brought the pup into the room and explained the attributes of the dog. The history and temperament were discussed as well as what type of dog I was looking for. The free health exam at a Lenexa vet and free training class were offered if I decided to adopt the pup. The team uses an online app to process the adoption, and release the medical records and microchip info. The whole process took a few moments. We left with the sweetest pup, and are so happy we chose to adopt. Check out their website for available pups, and if you aren't sure which is right for you talk to their staff and they will introduce multiple pups to you/your family. read more

Not impressed. I think that there were good intentions in the beginning but those intentions shifted with their growth.

First, let me start by saying the adoption process went great, but things went downhill after seven months of having our new baby home. We adopted Tally Roe in June with paperwork and them stating that she was spayed. This, however, seems not to be the case, as we have just recently found out. Our $400.00 adoption fee has now turned into almost $1000.00. We are on our fourth bag of diapers at $25.00 a box and a couple of washable ones that were $30 for two, and dealing with a dog in heat. Unleashed has offered to spay her, but we did not get to meet the vet when we went in, and at this point, I will make sure my baby is taken care of properly and take her to my vet and pay for it myself. It is unfortunate, Unleashed does not do a better job of ensuring these dogs are spayed before adopting them. They said the TX shelter they retrieved her from told them she was, but when I asked the lady at the desk at their vet clinic if this had happened before, she said it indeed had. I gave three stars because, as I stated, the adoption process was smooth, but I will not adopt from here again. I am not a breeder, and I've never dealt with a female dog in heat, but let me tell you, it isn't fun! read more

Are there negative starts to give???!?! Horrible customer care they lied about a breed of pet and refused refund. Called a large man up to intimidate me when I asked for a refund since the initial rude girl lied about the breed of the animal. No refunds and asked me to leave. Basically just strong arm robbed me for $150. read more

This company is not a good agency add has taken advantage of a 75 yr old lady with cancer. After she paid almost $300 to adopt an aggressive dog she then had to spend over $325 to fix a pneumonia and eye issue with the dog. When we started we needed to bring the dog back before the holiday they called us back to say because we threatened to dump the dog she would not get her money back or be allowed to adopt another dog. That was a very untrue statement. we stated we needed the dog to go back today so the owner would not get sued for the dog biting three of her neighbors. Unleashed has taken advantage of this lady in my opinion and should pay her the money back for the adoption and the vet bills due to their lack of professionalism and understanding of her needs. Shame on you and the way you do business Danielle Reno. read more

We are active Fosters in the local community for a few rescues. We came in here because we were ready to help out again after a year or so off. We have several pups of our own and have very specific requirements for a foster. Not only were none of those requirements even attempted to be met they actively fostered out a dog that had been in fights at a previous foster and at the shelter. None of that information was presented until after we had signed the paperwork to foster. During the delayed introduction process to our pups it was constant viscous fights starting. This foster girl is the sweetest pup ever, but by them hiding info from us she will have to come back as staying with us is not a viable living situation for her or us. read more

Unleashed is the best! I have been either adopting from them, volunteering for them, fostering for them or donating to them since 2015. Firsthand, I see them work their tails off day in and day out no matter if they're on "vacation", at home sick, in the middle of an ice storm or simply reporting for another long day at work. They always put the animals first and put their health, wellbeing and happiness at the forefront of all decisions made. If you're not sure which type of dog or cat you'd like to add to your home, fostering is a great option to help save a life and also "test" out if they're a good fit to stay with you forever! No gesture or donation is too small and they'll appreciate every little bit of help they get. My personal experience has been nothing but positive. The staff know the dogs and their personalities and are great at matching them to forever families. When I was a first time foster, I always had someone accessible to run questions by and was loaded with good information on the correct way to bring a new dog into my home, make them feel comfortable, the best way to leash train a dog etc. etc. They work with countless organizations and individuals to save as many lives as they possibly can. The number of animals they take in per year is mind blowing! Give them a try the next time you're looking to add a new pet to your home read more

Update: We took Jack back to the shelter some time ago after having to pay to get him tested to take him over state lines. Since he had been registered to us, we got his first update after another family adopted him.... he had severe dental decay. *Indicative of an older dog, not a 2 year old dog like they told us* We ended up not getting another dog even though they offered for us to use the credit toward another animal. I wouldn't trust any other animal they suggested. We ended up with a completely different dog and sadly, because Jack had peed all over our furniture and house, this dog eventually started peeing in the same places. We've been able to train him not to and are quite happy with our new dog Hachiko- but our kids are still afraid to get attached to him because they were so upset about Jack. The dog they paired us with and lied to us about (well over a year ago) is STILL impacting our family today. We've now organized over 2000 hours to help KC Pet Project due to the honest help we received there and the lower rates that they charge to truly allow people to be matched with their fur babies. read more

I saw the reviews for this place and was a little nervous but I wanted to check it out for myself. My boyfriend and I came here just wanting to check out the animal shelters in Kansas City. We were greeted at the door being asked what we were looking for today. We told them smaller dogs that got along with dogs & cats. They immediately brought us to a room and said they would bring out animals that fit our needs. I really enjoyed that aspect since they want you to interact with every animal not just pick on looks. We saw a bunch of dogs and they were all so great. We got to play with them outside and take them on walks. Also see how they interacted with dogs & cats so we could witness ourself. After being here for 3 hours..... We left with a 1 year old corgi mix!!! We have had him for almost a week and we are so in love. We were given all of his paperwork, medical records, shot records, & microchip information. I really wish they had a bigger facility! It gets really crowded in there. Luckily we came right when it opened but when we left it was packed!! They always have puppies & kittens. What I loved was that YOU pick your adoption fee. Obviously it has to be reasonable but it all goes towards donations. Stop by to check it out! I left with a new furry friend. read more

This organization does not properly match animals with homes, nor post on their website when animals have known behavioral issues.

My son need to get some volunteer hours so we headed to Unleashed as a family and , after filling out some quick paperwork and leaving a driver's license, off we went. We walked about 1/2 mile with our dogs and then came back. The streets there are lined wirh businesses so it was easy to find a dumpster to throw away the poop bags and it felt great to give some time to the animals. It was a busy place with several others helping as well. read more

With so many shelters requiring appointments and asking you to pick an animal from an online photo, this place was a Godsend. We were able to spend about an hour in the wonderful Kitty room, seeing how the cats interacted with us and with each other. We wanted two cats and were hoping for a brother and sister, and one cat picked us out immediately and one of the volunteers told us she had "adopted" a kitten and they even slept together at night. The process to adopt was very easy, both cats had been microchipped and we were given their tags and one even had a collar. We are very happy with our new kitty's! read more

I had trouble submitting the foster application because of some embedded text in the application. I found the issue and when I called the business, the person that I spoke to said that she had never been on the website and her solution was to come in and fill the app out. Below is my response that was sent to them via email In case you are wondering why you are not getting any fostering applications sent to you via email, see below. There is imbedded text that does not allow completion and submission of the foster application. If you can't find something as simple as this, I pray for the souls of the animals that you have under your care. They are doomed to having their fate and future decided by people who have no (zero) business being in charge of an organization dedicated to animal welfare. I called and spoke to someone about it and she said " I have never looked at the website" and her solution was to come in and fill out the foster care application. We are an online world and this employee not only had never seen the website but had no interest in identifying and resolving what the issue was. Just who I would trust with my pet. This going all over social media reviews. People have a right to know how your organization conducts business and what a care free attitude that they have about putting the animals in your care in the best possible position to be cared for. 5(/($6( ,DFFHSWWKLVDQLPDODVLVDQGDVVXPHDOOULVNVWKDWPD\DULVHXQGHUWKLVDJUHHPHQWLQFOXGLQJWKH ULVNRIGDPDJHRULQMXU\FDXVHGE\WKHDQLPDO ELWHVVFUDWFKHVEUXLVHVHWF 2QEHKDOIRIP\VHOI DQGP\KRXVHKROG,KHUHE\UHOHDVHGLVFKDUJHLQGHPQLI\DQGKROGKDUPOHVV835DQGLWV GLUHFWRUVRIILFHUVHPSOR\HHVYROXQWHHUVVXSSRUWHUVDQGDJHQWVIURPDQ\DQGDOOFODLPV,DJUHH WRFRPSO\ZLWKWKHPHGLFDOUHTXHVWVRIHDFKDQLPDODQGUHIHUWRWKHQHFHVVDU\VWDIIWRIXOILOP\ VSHFLILFUHTXHVWV read more

I am a huge supporter of Unleashed. I read a lot of the negative reviews before posting this and I think people fail to consider the volunteer based shelter that unleashed is. There are a lot of younger volunteers there which I think is why some people felt frustrated with their experience. When we adopted our dog from them I had found her online first and then specifically asked to see her when I went in. It was a 20 or so year old helping us and the only negative was that we weren't told that our dog had been returned three times- I only found out because I am a member of their volunteer/foster group and I searched her name. In my opinion- I do not believe it was malicious. I think this young girl really wanted to see the dog go to a good home but that is information that HAS to be shared with potential adopters. Our dog had serious aggression. A lot more than we were told about or realized, but we paid good money for a professional trainer and now after almost two years with her she is an amazing dog. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Unfortunately, not many adopters are like us and understand that rescuing a dog takes time and work and serious love- something majority of rescue dogs never received before. I wish more people would do research and realize this before adopting an animal that's been through so much. read more

I have waited a long time to write this review. I adopted my amazing, loving, adorable cat from Unleashed about eight months ago. I found her online and fell in love and needed to see her. The adoption process was very rushed, they asked for a lot of weird and unnecessary information (my landlords name and phone number???), but didn't really care much about my character or how i was going to treat the cat. Their "cat room" was small, filthy, and overrun with cats ranging from young and newly spayed/neutered to senior cats. My cat has no claws at all, and the whole time I was filling out the paperwork, she was being terrorized by an aggressive cat and the employees did next to nothing about it. She was very expensive for an adoption ($150) but I needed to get her out of there. I got a chance to glance at the dogs and there was a filthy room full to the brim with puppies and the rest of the dogs were in the back. Makes me wonder what it's like back there. They claimed they were "always there to help" and that Unleashed would always be home for my cat if I needed help. But I had barely any help with the follow up questions I had for them. I feel like they just want to shove animals out the door as quickly as possible. I don't regret it. I am so happy I got my cat out of that situation. But this place is awful. My heart goes out to the animals that live in that cramped, disgusting, terrible building. They need to work on their business model and act like what they claim to be - a RESCUE. read more

I got my baby from here, the adoption fee was $500, I get it's to help pay for spay and everything, but dang, that is insanely high for a shelter. When I went in I had asked if they had a specific breed, they told me no. After that I went home and looked on petfinder, and they did indeed have that breed. Maybe just a mistake? So I filled out an application and picked her up later that day, when I did I felt almost shamed as things like "oh the little fluffy dogs always get adopted first and blah blah cute little fluffy dogs this and that" this was said by a staff member. I was told she was healthy and in great shape, no issues at all. I take her to my vet and they take one look at her teeth and tell and show me how awful they are. I'm not a vet and I could see with my own eyes how bad her teeth were. Needless to say, maybe skip unleashed and adopt elsewhere, especially if you want "a cute fluffy dog". Just an update*** Reached out of their social media and they blocked me.. instead of responding to me, they block me! They know they did wrong and they don't wont own up to it. The only thing I am seeking is that they acknowledge they have shady dealings and that they are sorry and will try to be more responsible in the future, however they have lost their license so I guess that takes care of that read more

I walked in here to look at dogs, as we were considering expanding our canine family. I was told that Unleashed isn't a "walk-through" shelter and that I could either look online and request to see a specific dog, or I could wait in a room and dogs matching what I described as my ideal would be brought to me. I agreed to wait in the room and have dogs brought to me. The room was disgusting. There was visible mold and an insect infestation. The first dog they brought out was a sweetheart, but not quite what I was looking for. I felt ill as I watched the dog pounce on and eat at least three cockroaches as they skittered across the floor. Three more dogs were brought to me, and none were a match. I was relieved at this point, because after 45 minutes in the room, I'd realized that I wouldn't want to adopt from here. I didn't trust that any place with such incredibly poor maintenance and hygiene, yet astronomical adoption prices would be a place I'd want to enter into an adoption contract with. read more

I honestly wish I could give this place 0 stars! I had the absolute worst experience and I would never recommend adopting a pet from here. I heard about unleashed from a friend who lookedat puppies here, however she did not adopt from unleashed. I should have read the reviews before adopting a kitten from unleashed because it seems others have had similar experiences to mine. For starters, there are about 20-30 kittens in 1 room. That is a literal hoarding situation and NOT safe or healthy for all of these poor cats and kittens. No one seems to be monitoring them at all and there were several cats getting in fights with each other. However, I looked past this and ended up finding a very sweet and cute kitten that I wanted to adopt. I noticed that the kitten had a slight runny nose so I asked the staff member about it. She said "Oh all animals in shelters usually get a cold, that's 100% normal, and the lady checked him out today so he's fine." Never clarifying "who" the lady was. I trusted her word on this and still proceeded to adopt the kitten as he was very sweet and playful. She told me he was 3 months old. They told me the adoption fee was $125, which is more expensive than any other shelter in the KC area and they STILL hassled me for a donation, asking for an additional $50-$100. Rude. I asked them what food they were feeding the cats and kittens as I would have preferred not to switch his food to help him adjust to his new home. She literally did not know what kind of food they were feeding the cats and said "I'm not sure, but anything grain free". How do you not know?? As I got the kitten home he adjusted very well to his new home, took to his food, water bowl, and used the litter box. However, I noticed he was sneezing ALOT and seemed to be stooling a lot as well. I took him to the vet the next day. Come to find out, he has a severe case of tapeworms (which come from fleas, so clearly this place has or recently had fleas), an upper respiratory INFECTION (not a cold), pink eye, AND the vet stated that he seems to be 5 months old based on the way his teeth have come in. Unleashed thought he was 3 months old solely based on his weight, and clearly didn't know what they we talking about because my vet said it is very easy to tell a kittens age based on their teeth. My little was severely underweight, to the point jay my vet bought he had a rare and fatal virus. He had clearly been completely neglected and never inspected by a veterinarian at this shelter. My vet bill was over $200 to get him an antibiotic, probiotic, dewormer, and eye drops. I called unleashed MULTIPLE times for a week. It always goes straight to their answering machine, so I left multiple voicemails and they never called me back. I feel completely lied to and scammed and feel that they should pay my vet bill, however they refused to return my phone call. I was told I was being sold a healthy kitten and they completely lied to me, and overcharged for a very poorly taken care of kitten who was very sick and malnourished. Thank god for my amazing vet helping me get my fluff-ball back in good health, after a round of antibiotics, probiotics, de-worming, and a flea treatment. He has already gained 2 pounds in 2 weeks. TERRIBLE establishment that should truly be shut down. I am sick to my stomach thinking of all those poor animals there. I truly rescued him from this shelter, as I believe he would have died there had I not adopted him. read more

Cannot say enough about how sick our puppy was at adoption. Had to take it straight to our vet when Unleashed "vet clinic" was not returning calls. $400 in vet bills within 4 days of adoption. The Unleashed "vet clinic" if that is what you call it, looks like a back room shady hole in the wall when you show up to it and you are not allowed in it with your pet I might add. They knew my puppy was sick, gave her to us not even 24 hours after a spay and didn't tell us, rushed us because they were closing, botched her spay and she got a horrible infection and one of my puppy's litter mates died while waiting to be adopted while living with my puppy and NO ONE TOLD US any of this!!!!! My vet told me it was one of the worst spay incisions he had ever seen. Spoke to the owner and she truly did not care about our situation. Such a disappointment. This is nothing more then a legal puppy mill. read more

ok, so my parents and I adopted a dog named Wiley about a year ago. let's just say some bad things have happened with him. He just bit me tonight, and he also bit MULTIPLE of my friends.

I adopted a kitten from the cat room a few weeks ago, and she has Ringworm as well as a Herpes virus. All the cats in the room were sneezing, when we asked about it we were informed by Unleashed that all the cats were sick with a "cold" but the sneezing is actually the herpes virus. It's important that in a quest to "save them all" we aren't infecting other animals and putting them at risk. My dog in the house could've been infected and ringworm can also be transmitted to humans, I can't help feeling this could have been prevented by not putting 50 cats in one room together like they do, making them all sick. The dog I adopted from Unleashed, I was assured was "great with all other dogs" but she ended up attacking my dog and I had to give her up which is something I never dreamed of doing. The whole reason I became a foster was to prevent that from happening, but I put my trust in the staff which was a mistake. Not saying Unleashed is doing this on purpose but I do feel changes need to be made. It's ok not to know how a dog acts with others or why a cat is sick, it's not okay to lie to get an animal out the door. This only results in returns and worse- my small dog was taken by the neck and almost killed in the attack. When I posted a heads up on the fosters Facebook page, Unleashed deleted it despite it already having multiple comments from people saying their kitten had sneezing and runny eyes and were told by staff it was a cold... sad they care more about their image than the wellbeing of animals. Hoping this review prevents more illness spreading or close calls happening. read more

I found the dog on their website on August 31st. I applied and immediately I was told my application was accepted and I could adopt her. Over the next few weeks, all of this stuff came up about her having pneumonia and couldn't be adopted until she had finished her medication. I understand, totally cool. The foster mom was so amazing with me and always helped me when I asked something. After all this time they told me I would be able to adopt her yesterday, Tuesday September 19th. I was having problems with my bank account and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to adopt her. They told me if I didn't complete the adoption last night, that in the morning, she would be available for someone else to adopt. I made sure I had all the money to go this morning to adopt her. I went in and was met by the owner, who is so rude. I completed the adoption and they told me I needed a collar and leash to take her home. I had forgotten the collar at home but I had everything else. Yesterday, while I was at unleashed, the girls at the front let one of people adopting the dog, just walk out with holding their dog. I asked if I could do this, because they wanted me to purchase a collar from them. I understand they have rules and regulations, but all these people want is money. They are being greedy. After the owner being very rude, I had been pushed to my limits so I said "you would think you would be nicer with all the horrible reviews you guys have on the internet." Not my finest moment, but this woman thinks she can mess with people because she owns an establishment that was almost closed down in march of this year and had to pay a $15,000 fine. After I said that, she told me to get out and that I couldn't have the dog, even tonight the adoption had been processed and I had paid. She told me "I will not let people treat me like this anymore" and told me to leave or she was calling the police.
