Posted a dog we fell in love with on sight, but Scott did not share honest information about how difficult this dog's behavior was. The dog bit me the day we picked him up because Scott was trying to insist on getting a picture before we left. I thought it was a one off, but now that we have come to know the dog, I realize that Scott was completely out of line sending this dog to a home with a young child and we are - despite our best efforts - in a position of needing to rehome a dog we cannot trust. I wouldn't in a million years send this sweet but troubled pup back to Scott, so I was relieved to hear he was shut down.

They lead the public to believe they are a no kill except for extreme behavior or illness…read more This is a lie. They kill dogs if they don't move out of their near empty kennels fast enough. Maggie was a chocolate lab living on the streets of Richlandtown Pa 2 years, pretty much since birth. She was neglected and abandoned by her owner. ACO Nikki Thompson, although being aware of her and 2 others, left them live having to dig through neighbors trash for food. The people living near these dogs, grew tired from watching them suffer so they got help from a local trapping team and captured Maggie. A rescue and a foster home waited for Nikki Thompson to at least perform this end of her job, get all forms in order so Maggie could start living as a loved dog, never needing to scrounge trash cans for food again. Instead, the BCSPCA couldn't be bothered to do what they tell the public they are there for- providing a safe haven for stray & unwanted animals providing them shelter until a home is found. Instead after a 3 week stay, they killed her. No call to the folks waiting to take her home. Just ended her life. Like it never ever mattered. This place does nothing but LIE to the public and its donors. The money people donate pays salaries- it doesn't assist in helping save animals. They need new leadership from top to bottom,including the ACO Nikki Thompson , who can't seem to handle doing the job the donors are paying her to do,

She put a leash on my dog and just walked out of the room with her, leaving me running behind her to wonder where in the heck she was taking my dog. Then proceeded to do meet and greet with the middle of the parking lot on a hot summer day. She would not let me control my dog and then says it wont work because my dog is uncontrollably excited and jumping and trying to play with the other dog. Like repeatedly "no this wont work", saying my dog would "overwhelm the other dog and lead her to exhaustion", letting her try to play with the other dog, saying how awful this is...but letting this go on for several minutes. Left and immediately connected with a breeder and bought home a puppy whom my current dog quickly learned boundaries with. The kicker is, the staff the previous day would have allowed us to bring the dog home that day but I thought the responsible thing was to do a meet and greet. But they kept the deposit we left to hold the dog. Nice little scam I suppose.

READ BEFORE CONSIDERING TO ADOPT A PUPPY!…read more Home At Last Dog Rescue spayed my Heeler/Golden Retriever mix at just 10 weeks old--well before the age recommended for large breed dogs. I adopted her at 11 weeks and only learned she had already been sterilized when a volunteer casually said as I was leaving, "Keep an eye on her incision. She was spayed Thursday." As a result, she now suffers from urinary incontinence, leaking urine while sleeping, requiring lifelong medication, repeat diagnostics, and possibly surgery. This is not an unpredictable outcome--it's a well-documented risk of early spaying in large breeds. Each puppy's profile under one year old should clearly state that the dog will be spayed or neutered before adoption. That simple line might alert someone that the procedure is happening far too early--and give them pause to consider the lifelong hormonal complications they could be inheriting. Had I seen that information, I may have realized what I was walking into. Had I not spent time with the puppies on adoption day--snuggling with her and her siblings, watching them play, and identifying my lifelong best friend--I would NEVER have adopted a puppy spayed this early. You shouldn't either. The incontinence doesn't become apparent until you finally realize that this puppy is trying so hard to be housebroken but just can't make it for the normal length of time between potty runs. There were eight puppies in this litter. Eight puppies all spayed or neutered too soon. Buried deep on their website is this statement: "To help reduce the number of unwanted animals, our dogs are sterilized prior to adoption unless there is a medical reason that this surgery can't be done at this time." There is a medical reason--recognized by veterinary associations--not to spay large breed puppies at such an early age. The AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) recommends delaying spay/neuter for large-breed dogs until 12-18 months of age to reduce orthopedic risks and hormonal complications. My dog is a Heeler/Golden Retriever mix, and she now lives with the consequences of their "one size fits all" protocol. A puppy needs the hormones allowed by delayed spaying to support normal development of their bones, joints, and urinary system--removing them too early can disrupt these processes and lead to long-term complications. Home At Last Dog Rescue claims to carefully vet their adopters. If they trust these individuals enough to adopt a dog, why not require a signed contract to ensure spay/neuter at the medically appropriate age? When I adopted my previous golden retriever at 7 weeks old, I gladly signed such a contract. It's a responsible, balanced approach--and one this rescue refuses to consider. In their response to me, the rescue stated: "We've adopted out nearly 25,000 dogs over 15 years--roughly half of them puppies--and have always followed pediatric spay/neuter protocols with the support of 19 veterinary offices, without similar reports or documented patterns of complications related to urinary incontinence or long-term hormonal issues." I have her medical records and offered to submit them, but they never asked for them--so my dog becomes yet another 'undocumented complication.' Adopting from this group isn't inexpensive. I paid $550, and they required another $200 donation as a "benefactor" for another dog's medical care. Yet when my own dog's complications became clear, there was no support, no refund, no shared concern--only a blanket policy stating they don't assist adopters with medical care after the adoption. While I don't believe this rescue intentionally hands off dogs with medical issues, their protocol--despite being supported by some vets--carries known risks. My own vet, and many others, do not support pediatric sterilization in large breeds. This wasn't disclosed, discussed, or even acknowledged as a possibility. Think very carefully before supporting this group. Ask hard questions. You will find that once you sign the adoption papers, you--and the dog--are on your own.

Common theme, all those denied adoption were 60+, all those who were allowed adoption were under 50. So.....HAL discriminates based on age.

If your organization made such a determination, it was not communicated to me in any form. I was contacted directly by a coordinator from your rescue, who requested my vet information and photos of my home, which I provided. I also have documented text threads confirming communication from your team. My review was strictly about lack of follow-up and inconsistent communication. A simple message with an update--whatever the decision--would have resolved the matter.
