I always see a lot of volunteers working to keep the rescue in good shape and clean. Finding our dogs was like finding family and their process is very good. It's a bit of a drive if you are coming from Charlotte, but it's worth it. These people care so much for these animals and we could see it the whole time we were there.

After corresponding back and forth with this woman for a week and a half.. The day before we are…read moresupposed to go pick up our dog. She finally answered my text. She stated that she gave it to her board members, and they do not think I was a good fit for their program at all. My heart was a broke at that point.Because I expected to bring a dog home.The next day.. This woman ghosted me for several days and did not answer me back when I kept asking questions that anyone else would ask before purchasing a dog. She got very defensive, and I could tell, by the way, she was texting me that she was upset when I asked if that was her final price. That the dog would cost.. At that point, the conversation was null and void. She never answered me back until I told her. I was coming to get the dog the following day. As we discussed, and she sent me that text message saying, I was not a candidate. I asked her.Was it because I told you early on in our conversation that I was a cancer patient.. My dog has just passed away in march of 2024.. I was looking for obviously another companion. I'm home all day and I could give this dog a very loving home as we did.Our other dachshins, we had in the past.. So to do something like that the day before, I'm supposed to pick up the dog. Is very unprofessional. I would not recommend this company at all.

Gina spends 24/7 cleaning and aiding these animals. I could not ask for any better treatment of the animals. When we walked ( with donations) Gina greeted us, and invited us in for a tour and some play time with the dogs. Everything is as tidy and neat as possible. I have worked with many rescues, but this is different because every single animal is treated well, socialized, and had a feeling of home during their stay. I would 100% recommend this rescue to anybody, whether they are adopting, donating, or volunteering.

I knew leaving her un-spayed was dangerous so I decided to bite the bullet. When I called to make the appointment I was asking 100000x questions and once the receptionist realized I was having a panic attack just making the appointment she was very reassuring, told me she is in very good hands and helped me calm down. Day of, I was a nervous wreck. The staff was so kind, efficient, and trustworthy. The best $125 I've ever spent to make sure my baby girl lives a long healthy life. If you're thinking of getting your animal spayed here, look no further. The incision was hardly even visible and she healed SO well. When I called because my kitty hadn't used the litter box in over 24 hours they gave me solid advice on how to help her and she ended up using the litter box. If I ever get another pet, I will most definitely bring them here!

Isn't the point of a shelter to find loving homes for the animals? They are limiting the adoption options for their dogs. There is a reason they have so many dogs available for adoption - they treat the adoption process like qualifying for a multi-million dollar mortgage. Way too selective.
