I contribute that to the amazing and compassionate volunteers who run this rescue. Their puppies are raised in the homes of these caring individuals so they have been trained and socialized with love and care. If you are interested in adopting a dog needing a forever home, Lil Paws Maltese Rescue is where you need to go. They have meet and greets every month to find good matches for their puppies. We are so in love with our new fur baby.

That raises serious ethical questions. Animal shelters exist to place pets into safe, permanent homes--not to supply inventory for resale. If money is being exchanged beyond standard adoption fees, the public deserves clarity on where funds are going and whether shelters are aware. Donations should support care, vetting, and rescue efforts--not personal profit. If this is a legitimate rescue operation, transparency, nonprofit status, and itemized use of funds should be clearly provided. Otherwise, this feels misleading to donors and unfair to families who adopt in good faith. I hope proper oversight is in place to protect the animals and the community.Donations solicited under the appearance of animal rescue while animals are sold at retail prices.

    Pflugerville Animal Shelter - Our 10 year-old adopted cat, named Dusty Rose 3

    It has been six months since we adopted a soon-to-be senior kitty who is 10 years old. We were very…read morehappy with our experience at this small shelter that was attentive to us as soon as we walked into the space. After a long day of waiting on kittens in Austin proper and watching them all get adopted before we got a chance to see them (I say this in the most loving & happy way too), I told my partner we should try coming to Pflugerville and see what the cats there. We were VERY happy we did. From walking in to signing the paperwork for adoption our experience was positive and loving. The volunteer that cared for our cat then was super sweet to us and to our cat as she said her goodbyes to her when she found out we wanted to adopt her. The volunteer took great care of packing our cat in the carrier and even gave us the blanket, a few cat toys, and her cat brush in a nice bag with other goodies, food, and even supplements from Tomilson's Pet Store (a great Austin pet store). We loved the sweet care and transparency around our adoption. Because we adopted a senior cat our adoption fees were waived and the health report the shelter provided to us was informative for us on determining what kind of care we would expect when we adopted her. I really appreciated the transparency from the staff about our adoption. They were professional and were very kind and patient with us on all our questions around our new loving cat. What a great success story it has been for us in adopting Dusty. She was a surrender from her previous owner but now is in our loving home and receives all the treats and wet food she wants in her senior days. Thank you to the staff and kindness of those we met and will not forget at this shelter. We appreciate your care and giving us an opportunity to love her forever.

    I reported a vicious dog at a residence nearby that attacked my miniature poodle to both my HOA and…read moreAnimal Control. The HOA would require an owner to get rid of a dog, who is a disturbance, but does nothing about a vicious dog. I would not want to see a person lose their beloved dog, but if someone would address the issue and perhaps, give them a warning, the owner would ensure that the dog behaves better. After speaking with 311, I was informed that they could send the owner brochures on leash laws, since my dog was not bitten. That just doesn't seem to suffice and I implied that. Then, it was mentioned that an officer could go out to speak with the owner. I don't feel confident that this will be addressed. I Pray that this dog doesn't viciously attack another dog or person to the point where it is more detrimental. It seems the dog and his owner are being given a pass because my dog was viciously attacked without being bitten and the owner tried to remove her dog, after the attack. The owner should have removed her dog immediately, when I first asked her to get her dog. I believe that she felt like the course was clear because her dog started off just sniffing my dogs, before viciously attacking my dogs. Just sending leash laws without someone addressing this issue will result in a repeated attack. The dog clearly needs to be trained. Otherwise, this goes across as being acceptable.

    I applied to adopt in July and got approved by the end of the month. There were a couple of pugs I…read morewas interested but since the application process took a while, they were already adopted. Although I admit I was frustrated I was so happy when I found "Britches" (now named Penny), on the website. Within a week we were set up with a trial visit with her at our home. When we first met Penny, we were surprised at how friendly she was. Her bio stated that she was very bossy and might have an issue with children, but this was likely due to the severe ear and skin infection she had when she was surrendered. Penny is now a healthy and fun loving pug. She is kind to children and will voluntarily sit on any lap available. She is four years old but she is as playful as a puppy. She enjoys her squirrel toys, playing tug of war, and rolling in the grass. We are so grateful to PRA for giving us the chance to fall in love with Penny. Yes, the process takes forever and can be frustrating when all you want is a pug, but it is worth it. Also, understand that this nonprofit organization is made up of all volunteers. These people work hard and though it can be a taxing process, they are volunteering their time in order to get these fur babies a home. Once you are approved the process is so fast.

    An absolute dreadful of a company, total waste of time and money! After an insane amount of fuss…read moreand interviews over several months, the staff and the company insulting and patronizing us about basic aspects they decided to refuse us. They went as far as saying that our 6yrs old son shouldn't have his toys around the house. We were led to believe that we are in the final stages and our "Next Interview" was to actually meet the dog. We actually never met any dog. I would not in million years recommend this company, stay away as they will do everything they can to waste your time and energy.

This store is a wonderful place to go if you're looking for a small thoughtful gift for a cat owner. They have these wonderful peacock feathers for $1.75 each.

When I went to drop him off before hours, I didn't get to see the. place, but the building looked new and clean. They gave me updates and I appreciated the postcards/Facebook posts about many cat's well being. When I went to pick him up, I was impressed by how clean the place was, considering how my cats and finches were present. My cat's room was very clean, with a big window, the jungle gym setup, and a loft bed. The kitty litter had added fiber pellets, which I hope he liked since he hates sawdust litter. They gave me back everything that I left at dropoff, plus a toy. My cat was very calm, coming by his own free-will to greet the handler. To me, these were all green flags and I will highly recommend Whiskers to anyone needing a safe place for their kittens and cats to stay for a short (or long) spell. They know cats better!
