    Adopted there recently. My dog was 6 months and he'd been in there for more than 90 days. He is the sweetest so whatever they're doing is working. Only negative part is the smell but also there's so many dogs it's kind of expected. The process was so quick and easy for adopting. So many cute and nice dogs there. Don't go without a specific dog in mind because You may just end up wanting to adopt all of them.

    They work so hard to provide for the many dogs that have. It's a small place- always in need of volunteers, items and mostly adoptions!

    I was looking for an older dog that would likely have less energy than a puppy. Having owned…read morefull-bred Labradors and some mixed breeds, I was drawn to a large, 5 year old pup I first saw online. I visited the shelter, and she was brought into a small room so I could meet her. Obviously mixed, she looks like a smaller version of a chocolate lab, weighing in at 61lbs. I liked her energy and soft brown eyes. I didn't know what to expect, but I picked her up the next day. She is far exceeding my expectations! Coming from another shelter in TN, there was no known history, but I can tell she was loved. She came to me completely housebroken and knowing commands. She has been calm at a BBQ with a lot of people as well as with my almost-3-year old grandson. The staff at AWA offers great support in many ways even after adoption, and it was a very positive experience. The kennels were clean, and the dogs looked healthy and well cared for. Every person involved in the short process was very nice and friendly. My pup reminds me of my favorite dog ever that was a mixed breed dachshund that I also adopted from AWA many years ago. Please don't hesitate to adopt from the AWA where you may find your next best friend! In my experience, shelter dogs are gems!

I have adopted several small animals from there and found the adoption process to be relatively easy. All of the animals had been seen by a vet and were in good health. They have fun events and promotions as well. I especially enjoy their summer events. And while I haven't used any of their vet services, I know they offer some low cost clinic options that can save a lot of money.

I just hope that if Snuggles is still with us that she is doing well.

Just because someone is denied on an application does not mean the shelter alone is not doing their job correctly. There are so many factors that need to be considered before handing over an animal to a complete stranger. Just because someone has past experience with animals or was first to hand in an application does not make them "fit" to a specific animal. I have adopted twice from VAO, I have a dog and most recently a cat. In the past I have been denied pets before based off of my application, whether it be this rescue or somewhere else, but that doesn't warrant a negative YELP review. Animal Orphanage has probably one of the highest adoptions turn-overs. You don't see many dogs or cats sitting here for very long. The Orphanage is clean and well maintained. You can tell the staff & volunteers take pride in their work. With that being said, I highly recommend VAO when looking to adopt a shelter animal and if you can't adopt, volunteer! And if you can't volunteer, donate!

    MatchDog Rescue has given me and my bf our first love, Hewitt…read more Before attending the event in Atco, we were given a phone call with a proper run down on how the event would work so we were not confused when we got there. They are extremely communicative, and the events are usually held on Saturdays, but the transport that was bringing the dogs in had troubles and the event ultimately had to be moved to Sunday. I had my phone call at about 11:15 and about 1 PM hours later I was informed about the date change. It is not a typical adoption shelter that I have been to in the past. At the event, there is a ticket system, as in, the earlier you get there the earlier you will be called. While you wait you mingle with the volunteers and the dogs. You get a vibe on which dog feels like the best fit for you. However, be mindful that the crew with MatchDog Rescue does their due diligence and wants the best for EVERY SINGLE DOG. We went to the event with a very specific dog in mind. One that was on the medium/large end. However, the staff that reviewed our application and lifestyle, let us know that the dog might not be the best fit for us in terms of training and size of our home. While it was disappointing to hear, we knew at heart we wanted what was best for the dog and us. As mentioned before there is a mingling period while waiting to be called on by staff. During this period you can meet dogs of all ages, sizes, and all types OUTSIDE of dog cages. We had met several different dogs during this period, just to name a few that I can remember, Nevada, Hewitt, Cassidy, Dukie, and Garret. We bonded with several dogs early on, but with our hearts set on a specific dog, we just enjoyed their presence. However, after being informed that the dog we had our hearts set on was not a good fit for us, we knew which of the many dogs we met during the mingling period we wanted to go on a walk with. We asked if Hewitt was a good fit for us, confirmed he was, took him on a little stroll around the lot, and knew that our hearts were set on him. We went through the process of adopting him and each volunteer we worked with, remembered Hewitt and always told us how he was such a great dog and a cute little snippet or fun fact about Hewitt. There was never a doubt in my mind that Hewitt was not loved under their care. On our way out with Hewitt, the last volunteer that we worked with walked us to our car, ensuring that Hewitt was buckled in and safe and had their very loving and sad goodbyes with each other. Hewitt has been with us for about a week. We are a very calm, but active couple and Hewitt matches exactly that for us. When we are relaxing, he is relaxing. When we are running, Hewitt is right there running with us. It is not something that I considered when I was looking into adopting a dog, but I am extremely grateful the staff at MDR let us know before adopting a dog. If ever in the future I am looking for a second dog, there is no doubt in my mind that MDR will be the first adoption agency I look into.

    Match Dog Rescue is an incredibly organized, compassionate, thoughtful, and well-run organization…read more They go to great lengths to vet potential adopters and match dogs with the right "Furever" family. Their volunteers coordinate with partner rescues in areas with an abundance of overcrowded, high-kill shelters. They travel to these areas, rescue and transport the pooches to New Jersey, where dedicated fosters await their arrival. The fosters nurture, care for and partner with veterinary professionals to ensure that the rescued pups are primed to thrive in their new "Furever" homes. We highly recommend Match Dog and are eternally grateful to them for bringing our beloved Jessy "home" to us. - Steve and Anna C.
