We were referred to FCCA to be our home study agency through our adoption agency, American…read moreAdoptions. We HIGHLY recommend FCCA. Throughout the entire home study process (which can be very intense) FCCA, Lindsay and Alison have been fantastic. We felt everything that was required of us was clearly stated and easy to understand. If we ever had any questions we would receive a prompt reply or if needed they were very accessible via phone call. The adoption process can be very stressful, but using FCCA for our home study really took a huge stress off of our plate. Every step, home study, placement and post placement has been accompanied by clear communication, support and thorough efficiency. We also cannot recommend Lee Ann who completed our home visits enough. Lee Ann is incredibly kind, thoughtful and empathetic. We could feel how much she cared for us and wanted us to succeed in this process. We are truly grateful for FCCA and their entire team for being there for us in our adoption journey .

This is a terrible agency. They wasted years of my life with promises of being matched. They hardly…read morecontacted me even after I had gone through their rigorous process, and got the all clear. In the end I was left with nothing. If you are looking to foster or adopt, I would steer clear of this agency. Your money, and time will be wasted. I'm surprised that they are still in business. Update: *** response to agency's response. This is an anonymous post for a reason. This agency wasted my time and money and I got nothing in the end, except false promises. Sadly I've heard the same from a few of people as well. Do not waste your hard earned money or time on this agency. Adoption is a hard, and emotional process already, make sure to find an agency that makes you feel supported. This one doesn't unfortunately

We adopted our dog in february this year. The first worker we were in contact with Melissa, was…read moresuper nice and had great energy and was honest and willing to answer all of our questions. The day of adoption comes to take our baby home and the vibe was nasty. We were met with another worker we never met and her attitude came across as judgey, dismissive, and overall just wanted to get it over with. Our dog was spayed that weekend we got her, and no pain medicine was provided for her. FYI they take the dogs to get spayed in Mexico where it cost a nickel and two dimes, and then turn around and hit you with a fat fee of $600 for the adoption, spay, microchip, and other stuff. We asked questions about the dogs health and mentioned that the other worker told us she has mild dental issues (not a problem at all) we just wanted to get maybe more insight on that. No completely dismissive and straight up lied to our face about our dog having any dental problems and claiming she's completely fine. Come to find in the paper work they provide you, it says she has dental disease. Following that my partner has never owned a pet before so they were just asking basic questions about what to know. She had a rude attitude for every reply and the energy was very off putting for a first dog adoption expirence. Following taking our dog home we find out she's extremely reactive towards other dogs, (totally fine) we email TBL about her reactivity just to see if she had any issues with other dogs when she was at the shelter. No response. that clearly paints the picture that they don't care about you or your dog. They have a long lengthy contract to sign that will completely cover their ass but would screw you over if anything happens. Very shady, we are staying away for our second dog.

Many of the employees are volunteers, they are genuinely here to help. I will never forget this place. I recommend this to all women located in or around Ramona.

She makes sure that the animals are going to good homes by asking for pictures of where they'll live and of the adopters knowledge of the animals. The wellbeing of the animals is truly her main concern. What she's doing is so amazing as these animals often get bought when they're tiny and cute then when they get huge they'll just get abandoned. I got a bigger guy bc I've always wanted a giant tortoise and finally have the space to do so. I love my big boy so much.

I called Jacqui, and she was immediately warm, understanding, and willing to take this little friend in. We drove down from LA to her sanctuary in Ramona, and it was worth every mile. Her property is a beautiful piece of heaven on earth for tortoises! Jacqui's passion and expertise are incredible--she immediately recognized that the tortoise hadn't received the best care previously, but promised us he would be pampered and loved from now on. It takes a special soul to care for these little dinosaurs. We are so thankful we found her rescue and highly recommend her to anyone looking to help a tortoise in need!
