My dog loves going to Paws in Time and I love that I feel so comfortable taking her there!…read more This truly is a great facility for day camp and boarding. Everyone who works here seems passionate about dogs and I feel at ease knowing they will watch over my little Stella with as much love and care as I would. We initially started using Paws in Time when we needed a great place to board our dog for a week while on vacation. We've never boarded her anywhere for more than a couple nights (Grandma & Grandpa usually watch her), so I was a bit nervous about where to leave her. We previously had taken her to day camp elsewhere, but there she played in a room all day and not outside. I knew I didn't want her cooped up for an entire week, so I was psyched to let her try out Paws in Time instead since it's a whole dog resort! The dogs are able to play all day in a large facility where they have access to inside play and the outdoors. In the nice weather they have a pool with a slide and other fun toys for the dogs. The best part is honestly all the space they have to run around and socialize with other dogs. They are put in their crates to eat and at night to sleep, and other than that it's cage free boarding. I really appreciated that they fed Stella exactly how I instructed and even gave her the allergy medicine I brought too. I was able to bring a little bed for her and her blanket so she felt right at home all week! We ended up buying a package of day camp sessions which made more sense for us, so it's been nice letting her go get some energy out on random days... especially now that the weather isn't as nice and she's stuck inside a lot. Pricing is reasonable and pick up and drop off procedures are super easy. I'm so glad we've found a great place to take our Stella so she can play with other dogs and stay the night if we go out of town!

WOW! I finally hit 500!…read more I wanted to make this review special--something that's close to my heart (just like my other 100 markers!). For those of you who know me, know that I love my pooch Ryno. He's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and yes, is treated like royalty. I have yet to meet a Cavalier that hasn't been sweet, awesome, and overall just a great catch! I have not adopted from this rescue, but know people who have, I've also met a few people affiliated with the rescue at various meet ups and dog shows throughout IL and even WI. :-) You couldn't ask for a bunch of better people! Here's a little about their mission (taken from their website): GCCR's mission is to help ensure the health and security of abused, abandoned, and otherwise endangered Cavalier King Charles Spaniels by rehabilitating and placing Cavaliers from shelters and similar situations, by assisting breeders and owners in finding new homes for their Cavaliers, and by providing to the public educational materials and consultation regarding Cavalier health and care. The growing popularity of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels has prompted increased breeding by unscrupulous breeders and puppy mills. This development suggests that owners' concerns about health as well as the number of Cavaliers in need will only grow. Placement of Cavaliers in new homes without appropriate, knowledgeable veterinary testing may result in unforeseen, serious heartaches for new owners. The GCCR as well as other dedicated Cavalier rescuers and owners are here to help.

It seems like the two other reviews say it all!! I volunteer with the GCCR and can't believe how…read moresupportive, nurturing, and selfless this group of people truly are. We have members who have owned cavaliers for over 20 years and novice owners. All of which are dedicated to educating the public, raising awareness, and rescuing these lovely dogs.

I am a HUGE animal lover i was going for one and once i found out she had came in with a buddy i didn't think twice before i said i HAD to take both i just didn't have the heart to separate them. Well Sadie was already on hold .. it broke my heart but the employee was THE BEST and i told her i was planning to take both. Well i went back the next day and the same lady from the day before said this "the lady who had Cookie (Sadie) on hold came back and said she couldn't take her, so i put her on hold for you ! hoping you still want to take both!" I will always appreciate this woman for keeping my little Sadie on hold for me i just thought it was so thoughtful ad generous of her. I could tell she is a true animal lover because as soon as i said i would still take both she got so happy ! I am very thankful to her and to Aurora Animal control for my little ones, Chloe and Sadie. I love them very much. And to all my friends and people who ask about them i tell them. DON'T BUY!

McCoy is a very loving and it is a joy to be a part of his world. The foster parents do a wonderful WONDERFUL job of helping kitties mature. McCoy loves his belly rubs; follows you around, and, absolutely loves to play fetch. He is better at fetch then the dog. He is a real talker so we are brushing up on our Catonian so we can converse. McCoy brings a smile to our faces multiple times a day. Thank you Sharon and HELP for our little gem. I hope that when you are considering a new fur baby addition, you adopt from HELP and also when possible, donate to the cause.

After the recent passing of my beloved dog, I made the decision to find another companion. I found…read morethe most adorable pup who was fostered through H.E.L.P. (Home for Endangered and Lost Pets). I filled out my application and submitted. I was immediately contacted by Erica via email and then again the next day by phone call. During this phone call Erica was quite frazzled, stressed, and stated she's "tired of people, she does this and has a family and job too". She seemed overwhelmed and not happy being a volunteer with so many animals. She proceeded to ask me questions that actually where already on my application, but I happily answered. She called my vet to verify the status of my current dog. There was a mix up in vaccination records, his vaccinations were done somewhere else, so the vet had no record. I was able to clear that up, or at least I was led to believe I cleared it up by Erica. However, while I was being honest, open, and doing what needed to be done to adopt, which entailed a quick vet visit, Erica was not so honest. She had accepted another application, at the same time she was working with me, still leading me to believe this pup would be mine. She didn't disclose this to me at anytime, even though we had numerous texts back and forth. My vet visit was scheduled for 1:00 pm. Erica was informed of this at 8:30 am, and responded with "keep me posted". An hour later I'm told there's another applicant and more texts back and forth. As I'm going to vet appointment, I received another text from Erica coldly stating "Sorry she's adopted you'll find another dog". So, in a matter of 3 hours, the pup I was supposed adopt was adopted by someone else!!?? I will find another dog, but not with this place. Erica has definitely given adopting a rescue a bad reputation.

The sign says "do not knock and do not open gate text us when you have arrived" we text them and stand outside waiting for a good while, when we are finally greeted by her teenage son who had previously been otherwise occupied playing Fortnite. He tells us to go through the gate. We get into the shed and multiple of the dogs seem extremely stressed. The trainer does not acknowledge my dog for a while until telling us that he was "not ready" because he is wearing a harness which is safer for the breed as English bulldogs have breathing difficulties rather than a choke collar and that we would have to stand there and wait until the end of the class for instruction. Just pure ignorance. During this time my dog was put under stress and our money was wasted. Not to mention she even refused my puppy water when he was hyperventilating from the stress of the environment.
