I want to thank you Animal Humane for allowing me to adopt my wonderful dog! I moved back home to…read moreCalifornia and brought my dog. He has been a true blessing. He has been amazing. I made sure to set him up for success with all the training I could give him since he was already 2 years old approx. I want to bring awareness to give dogs time to adjust, my dog took about a full year to show his true personality and even then he has improved over the years. I adopted him 3 years ago and he has kept on growing in trusting people more and becoming more confident. Give dogs a chance only if you are willing to give them time, they are 10000% worth the investment of time and effort. Also, donate to your animal shelters when you can! I try to, every year on the day of his adoption :)

We have been looking for a pet for several months. We saw this little girl online…read more I'm glad that we made the efforts to come and check her out. She probably wouldn't have been here tomorrow. Jacqueline, who helped us pre-adopt, told us that she had received calls about her. Emma Took her outside so we can get acquainted with her. All the staff is really helpful. This shelter is much cleaner than the city shelters. Our adoption will include a spay and vaccinations. It also includes a microchip.

The amazing folks at BernCo had been talking up the facility during the Sugar Skull Fun Run a few…read moreweekends ago and I just had to come see. I lost one of my pups a few months back and my other is lonely. I've been looking for another pup and decided to check out the facility. This new center is really nice, there is a ton of parking as it is kinda out there on its own. It is located about five minutes from El Modelo, just head south on 2nd from Bridge and it is super easy to find. They have a check in system and are trying to maintain social distancing by limiting capacity. You check in and then are free to walk through and meet the dogs and/or cats. If you see one you'd like to spend more time with, you just tell them and you can interact with them further. I found that they had some really great dogs and I could see they had a good amount of cats too. I met a really cute pup named Luna and even brought my pup to meet her but had some concerns, mainly how much larger he is than she was. Anyways, definitely recommend checking them out!

My fiancé and I recently visited Watermelon Ranch after the heartbreaking loss of my dog of 14…read moreyears. We were hoping to meet some dogs and eventually adopt when we found the right fit. When we learned the adoption fee was over $400, we simply said that the adoption fee wasn't really within our budget. We never said we couldn't afford to care for a dog--we were only referring to the one-time adoption fee. At that point, we were told they would not show us any more dogs because they felt we wouldn't be able to afford one. We were completely refused the opportunity to meet any other dogs based solely on that comment. I absolutely understand that rescues have a responsibility to ensure animals go to loving, financially responsible homes, and I support screening adopters. However, making that decision without asking a single question about our finances, our experience with pets, or our ability to provide long-term care felt incredibly judgmental and unfair. I had just lost my best friend of 14 years, and instead of being treated with compassion, I left feeling embarrassed and judged. A one-time adoption fee is not the same thing as being financially capable of providing a loving, stable home for a pet. I hope Watermelon Ranch will reconsider how they approach these conversations in the future. Asking questions and getting to know potential adopters before making assumptions would create a much more compassionate experience for people who are genuinely trying to give an animal a forever home.

We adopted a pitbull mix from WMR named Skittles who had been there over 3 years. She was very…read morecautious and it took 3 weekend visits with treats to get her to trust us. Now she's been with us since March 2024 and she has her forever home. The Staff at WMR are fantastic and they go the extra mile to make sure their rescues go with the best possible families. I keep Maddie and Sam up to date on Skittles' progress. Since she had been there the longest, they wanted to make sure that we would keep her. I've read some of the not so nice reviews and I'm disappointed that people think that this is just a simple process. Animals aren't disposable items that you can just toss away. But too many people think that way. WMR staff thinks hard about letting someone adopt. It has to be the best possible fit. They don't want to see any of their rescues come back, except to visit. :) The staff and volunteers do their very best to care for all these animals. I appreciate the time and effort it takes to do this job. Thank you for letting us adopt Skittles. She's come a long way.

However, my encounters with employees have been very hit or miss. Maybe because I'm a young woman, they often assume I know nothing about fish. During my most recent trip, the employee helping me was very condescending. While lecturing me about things I already know, he also gave me several pieces of misinformation about basic fish care. I should have corrected him, but I felt uncomfortable and just wanted to get my fish and go. After this interaction, I decided to get my next fish from an online retailer. Disappointed because I would rather shop local, but I don't want to deal with these kinds of interactions anymore or buy from a store with misinformed employees.

She was about 7mths old & had not had her Bordetella. Their excuse was "We take a holistic approach". They're a rescue & don't give Bordetella? They said that typically if a dog gets Bordetella it resolved within about 5 days. There is absolutely ZERO guarantee that that would be the case. Plus, what about what the pet goes through in those 5 days? Most reputable groomer or boarder requires Bordetella vaccine. Traveling such as flying requires it. Then they tell me she isn't chipped. Their reasoning was chip companies come & go. Um, a chip is a chip is a chip!!! So, now she has to get chipped. So, vaccines NOT current & she wasn't chipped. Yet, they increased the adoption fee. I absolutely 100% love my baby but would NOT recommend this rescue. I have all text correspondence & proof of misleading information. There are TONS of rescues out there!!
