The most recent…read moreone was 2 years ago when we adopted Milo from their location in Romoland during the pandemic. The staff was very helpful. We brought our other dog with us, an American Bulldog mix who is dog selective. It was important that we find a mellow male that would get along with our alpha female. Milo ended up being the perfect dog. He's half Akita and half German Shepard and was smart enough day one to know that Tigger would be the alpha. He knew right away how to get along with her. What is really amazing is that we have had rescued Akitas for over 20 years and during that time we've seen Akita rescues come and go in southern CA. A Passion for Paws has been around the longest. Probably at least 15 years. This shows they are a rescue that can be trusted. I highly recommend them.

They are a foster care organization-taking unwanted and unloved animals, but they also go to KILL shelters and RESCUE and foster. Poodles and Pals adopts to those living in the Southern California counties of Riverside, San Diego, Orange, and San Bernardino. Los Angeles county residents are considered on a case-by-case basis, based upon volunteer availability due to the distance of completing the home check. Their website contains everything you need to view and answer all your questions. Both my mini's came from Poodles and Pals and I bless the day I found them. These people give so much, for so little---they are a small, non-profit IRS designated 501(c)(3) rescue that was formed by volunteers who love and adore this wonderful breed! Their goal is to assist Poodles who find themselves homeless - surrendered by their owners to our program, or those at risk of euthanasia at local animal shelters.

Mindy provided a very personable, warm and extremely responsive service, made every effort to respond to my inquiry on Adopt-A-Pet and approving my application as well as just answering my questions and chatting with me about my potential cat baby's personality traits and his background story. She responded to emails as late as 11PM on a weekend and her demeanor was always welcoming and reassuring, like an old, caring friend. Mindy's words and actions convey that she truly truly love all of her rescued cat babies and she only wants what's best for them and she works extremely hard to find them good homes. I was very sad that neither cat babies from her rescue matched the particular personality I was looking for (I was trying to fill this big hole in my heart with the tragic loss of a stray cat named Cookie I cared for) and I really wished that given all the hard work she and her daughter put into, I'd adopt either Teddy or Khabib. Despite these big, affectionate sweet boys were not the best match I was searching for, I don't think any less of them, I sincerely hope they will find their forever home they deserve and I cannot be more grateful for Mindy's time, patience and understanding she's extended me and my family. If I had more capacity for an additional cat baby in the future after finding THE ONE, Mindy and her rescue is the first place I'd check out. If you are also searching for your feline soulmate, please look no further!!

I went to Petsmart to adopt a kitten names Cookies. I filled out the application, and was told by Petsmart to call them and see if I could get an immediate answer. I called them 17 times, no answer.....I was livid... I was even more upset when I get the notification via text message, that they would not allow me to adopt Cookies because I said we would "Declaw" if he started scratching or getting aggressive....I didn't even know what that meant...Again, I was pissed... We were messaging back and forth for well over 30 minutes and they explained to me what declawing was, and why it was bad for cats. Thank you, I was given useful information of something I knew nothing about. Granted, Cookies, was going to live his best life with us, but it wasn't meant to be. On to the next.

Unfortunately, what followed was a series of alarming incidents that no pet owner should ever experience. 1. Reckless Handling & Safety Neglect Upon pickup, **Rafael** allowed my **male Labrador to bolt out of the grooming area without a leash**--directly next to **Highway 74**, a dangerous road. Had I not been there, my dog could have been hit by a car. Additionally, they **improperly dislocated his choke chain** and failed to secure it back in place, further risking his safety. This level of carelessness is unacceptable. 2. Unauthorized Grooming & Injuries My **female Lab** was supposed to receive **only a bath and teeth cleaning**--**NOT a shave**. Yet, when I got her home, I discovered **blood marks all over her face and inside her ears**, indicating severe clipping injuries (photos attached). When I returned to confront them, **Rafael first claimed his mother "carefully shaved" her**, then backtracked when I reminded him **shaving was never requested**. His mother then **denied any injuries occurred under their care**, blatantly lying to my face. 3. No Accountability, No Trust A grooming business must prioritize **safety, transparency, and honesty**--Romero Pet Grooming failed on all fronts. Instead of taking responsibility, they **lied about the injuries** and dismissed my concerns. I am **filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau** and urge other pet owners to **steer clear of this establishment**. Your pets deserve better than negligence and deceit. Respectfully, Consumer Review

The Hope2K9 adoption experience was exceptional…read more The pup that we rescued (Freyja) was full of love and nervous energy. We decided to rescue her a few days before Hope2K9 had an open spot to start her training. When we brought Freyja home from the rescue we learned that she was part shark and part sled dog. On our first walk she was trying to pull us up the street with the force of an entire team of sled dogs. When we got home from the walk we gave her a "indestructible dog toy" which she managed to destroy within 5 minutes. At this point we were nervous about the potential challenges we were going to be facing with training. During the 3 week training process Cam kept us updated on our pups progress. The second night we received a short video of Cam walking a well behaved Freyja. The 2 in person training sessions were well organized and covered all the commands and how to leverage the training tools used to train our pup. The experience did not end with the 3 week training because Hope2K9 has been there to answer our questions.

It has been one year since I adopted Maddie and that is why this review is over due! Hope2k9 trains rescued dogs, teaches them good manners and social skills.

Not only do they work very hard at training they also allow you to visit for more training if you want. This is a wonderful rescue and I couldn't be more happier with my pup!

I am so excited to finally write this review after a full year with our big guy. We are…read moretraditionally dog people but are getting older and no longer have older kids at home to help with large pets but we were very attracted to the idea of a Bengal because of their higher than usual energy. We were hoping for a good middle-ground between running dogs every day for two decades and a fat house cat and we really feel like we got exactly what we were dreaming of and so much more. Her kittens were impeccable and we can't even believe how lucky we got with our male. He was instantly affectionate and loving towards us. My husband was very wary of cats and believed all of them were skittish and stand-offish. I had a childhood cat and remembered them being easy to own. I convinced him to let me get this kitten after our last dog passed because he was so gorgeous and as masculine as a sweet kitty could possibly look. We were so impressed with Dad when we met him in person and our little guy ended up looking just as handsome now that he's almost fully grown. Even other bengal owners are always blown away by his unusual coloring and shine. This is a cat even my husband is so proud to own after years of telling me cats were for women. Lol They are best buddies and sometimes I feel like I bought my own dream cat but my husband was the one who ended up with the best friend. He has zero negative health issues and has only needed to see the vet for regular vaccinations and altering. We have so much comfort in knowing that he has only eaten human grade food as we have continued the breeder's extraordinary meal plan. We have been a lifelong long kibble and canned food combo users and we had absolutely no idea how low the quality of food that is allowed to be given as animal grade even in the most expensive pet food. Our aunt just lost her sweet male cat to a urinary blockage and we had no idea how common they are in cats fed commercial foods. We take him everywhere with us and he is a huge comfort to me because of my anxiety. Everybody wants to interact with him and love on him and he really takes a lot of pressure off situations for me. I have never known a cat to be so willing to greet a large groups of people and people can't believe how calm he is. We did take the breeders advice and alter him before sexual maturity. He has never even once had an accident outside the litter box or on grass at home or in public. After decades of puppies I was ready for months of potty training. I had no idea how incredible a well raised kitten is at using the litter box exclusively. It was an absolute dream transition bringing him into our home. He has changed my life. We have not gotten a second bengal only because we love so much that we are able to travel with him and worry that flights, imposing on friends when we stay, etc would be too difficult with more than him but I am so tempted every time I see your posts of new litters. We have been life long animal adores but we never knew we could experience a bond with an animal like this. Thank you so much and to anyone considering a kitten--I couldn't imagine a better one in the entire world than the one I adopted from them.

From the owner: Though Bengal cats have surged in popularity most largely due to their stunning appearance, it is…read moretheir remarkable personalities and distinctive traits that are the focus of our program. Bengals inherit a strong drive and confidence from their wild ancestors that overshadows the timid nature of domestic breeds.
