Under the "Programs" section of the website, there is an HIV group that meets ONCE a month. There is no onsite seniors group meeting. It's a flashy website that looks great and seems to promise a lot but when you dig into it and actually visit the location you're told to find a support group on Zoom or offsite somewhere. And the atmosphere is not friendly; it's cold. But there are multiple links for donating money.

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.

I have volunteered for many organizations and this is by far, THE BEST. Their strategies are well…read morethought out. They have thousands of loyal volunteers who are very committed to their cause. Puppy raisers are not paid and accept the fact ahead of time that they will pay the costs of raising the puppy - that is part of their contribution to the cause. If there are unexpected medical bills, CC is able to help fund those. Puppy raisers sign documents that, among other things, explain that the puppy is always owned by the organization. They have a long wait list for these extremely well trained dogs, and vet the potential recipients so that the dogs go to the best fit and who is able to handle the dog. They have high expectations of their puppy raisers for good reason. Lives depend on these dogs and they have to perform perfectly. Having said that, they are extremely supportive of their raisers with in-person classes, sessions, videos, and manuals. From a donor's perspective, they run 'lean and mean' saving money for the real purpose of the organization - raising the best service dog puppies in the world. It is hard to understand the poor reviews given here. They should visit the campus and see for themselves.

They have a pretty cool rewards system, so make sure you get a card when you go in. I suggest taking a photo of the barcode on the back of the card, so even if you don't have it with you physically they can still scan it Their dresses are always really good, but I am still keeping this spot at 4 star because some things in their furniture, name brand section, and new with tags section are just a little pricey in my opinion. I will be coming back. Really nice man who works here and I love the music they play

I'm living on social security and don't receive any funds to take care of those animals and I am offended that you would suggest one of the dogs is going to be put down so donate to save lives of the others instead of focusing all the great things that you do which is reflected in the reviews of people who have worked with you.

It appears that they have dedicated foster parents who help transition these pups from shelter life to permanent placement in their forever homes. They were very honest with us about the dog we were adopting struggles with timidness and fear. They sent someone to do a home visit and we had to do an initial foster to adopt agreement for 2 weeks. If all worked out fine for both Shelby and our family then we were cleared to adopt. Which we did last Thursday. Shelby has had all her initial shots, was spayed and treated for fleas when we adopted her. All we needed to do was provide the love. Done. I would highly recommend Wagging Dog Rescue to anyone who is considering adopting a new member of their family.
