This is a wonderful rescue! I have always had asthma so I adopted these two bonded bichons after I…read morefostered them for two weeks. They are one of the most hyper allergenic dogs. I still suffer a tiny bit with asthma . I adopted Kk and Bo when they were almost 8 in 2018. It is now 2025, so they are 15, almost 16 . I still follow BROC along with Bichon rescues. If you know anything about bonded sibling dogs, they do not go anywhere without each other. It is the cutest thing. BROC told me about this, and I didn't believe them but BO follows his sister around like he is his daughter, protecting her and watching over her all the time. She's actually the larger of the two and Bo lets her eat his food and his treats. I have kept in touch with BROC over the years. Now, I have to make a difficult decision. BROC is by my side, helping me make a decision. Should I get a new dog before one of them pass so the other one has a distraction or wait? Right now I am currently looking at Rockwell. He is a male bichon eight years old,15 pounds. Clearly, Rockwell is not eating steak for dinner....YET! My bichons are 22 And 24 lbs! BROC has made one human and two doggies almost 3 doggies. Very happy!

I think Vida Rescue is great!…read more I adopted my puppy there back in Aug 2022 to pair with my senior dog and it was the best decision ever. It was quick and seamless since I had already zero'd in on a couple of potential dogs. Right when I looked at the puppy they brought out I immediately snatched him! I think people need to understand that shelters/rescues are very tough environments, if everyone is expecting these dogs/cats to be in perfect condition when they get them, then I don't know what to say. Adopting a pet is serious stuff and can be a big financial/time burden. This isn't going and picking out a toy. VIDA Rescue is doing God's work in my opinion.

To the person who adopted Annie…read more If you adopted a brown chihuahua mix named Annie, I am her foster mom and wanted to you to know a little about her personality. please know she was very loved and she's very smart and knows many commands. She loves her little squeaky piggy toy to play fetch with. She eats Pure farm to bowl small breed kibble brand and bacon treats are her fav. She absolutely hates going potty indoors and if it happens on she will get your attention and wants you to clean it asap. So making sure she goes out to do her business is very important her. Wish I would have been able to give the new family her toys, clothes and just insight on the her daily routine and likes and dislikes. Now my review of the rescue and this is solely my experience with fostering for this rescue. I decided to foster after my dog passed away. They asked me to come in and take a look to see who was a good fit, but when I got there I was immediately given a dog to foster. I was rushed out of there and given the bed, blanket and a bag of food. Laura the person that runs the rescue maybe great with the animals but terrible people skills. When I brought the Annie home she was eating her poop which means she was being starved. We quickly corrected that behavior. Whenever I brought the dog in for an adoption event which for the TWO years I fostered her was only 2 events and one appointment every time Laura stated the dog was overweight at 18lbs mind you she was a chihuahua mix so of course she was not your full breed average weight but this dog was loved, spoiled and kept on a routine of a daily walks to the park and an afternoon walk on the block. She was getting great exercise and proper nutrition with proper vet care because I took on all the financial responsibilities of vet bills and the best minimal ingredient foods. She stated that fat dogs don't get adopted. If a person is going to say this about a dog then they should not be allowed to adopt at all. I never heard from Laura, no one ever checked on the dog. This was so weird to me because how is the dog supposed get adopted if you don't show her at the adoption events. They don't keep up with social media like other rescues. Commutation with this rescue seriously needs to improve. This was probably the worst experience I've had with fostering. The last time I took the Annie in for a potential adoption appointment, was the last time I saw her. Laura promised to upadate me and send a video of her with her new family but I never got that. I asked and she said she was not adopted but never asked me to foster again. I also hesitated to offer because it meant that I would have to continue to deal with Laura. All communication just stopped. They are so crowded but yet don't care to have fosters for their dogs. It wasn't until we checked the website recently that we found out the dog was finally adopted. We are sad that we didn't get to see her adoption and would never help this rescue again.

.Our family is hoping this reaches the kind people who recently adopted a small black Yorkie mix…read morenamed Shadow from Inland Valley Humane Society. Shadow is about 11 years old (my kids forget she's older), has only one eye, and is very easy to recognize. She isn't just a dog to us--she has been part of our family for years. We searched for her every day after she went missing, put up signs, knocked on doors, checked local shelters, and never gave up looking. When we finally found her listing, we learned she had already been adopted. We completely understand that the shelter cannot release the adopters' personal information, and this is not directed at the family who adopted her. If anything, we believe they likely opened their hearts believing they were giving a homeless dog a loving home. Our only hope is that this message somehow reaches them. If you recently adopted a one-eyed black Yorkie named Shadow from Inland Valley Humane Society, please know that she has a family who has loved her deeply for many years and has been desperately searching for her. She has a little Shih Tzu brother named Chewy who misses her, and our home has felt empty without her. Shadow has been with us through so many memories. We were there when she survived a terrible dog attack that cost her an eye. We cared for her, loved her, and watched her recover. She loves belly rubs, makes the sweetest little snorting noises, scratches at bedroom doors when she wants to cuddle, and has a personality that is impossible to forget. If you are the family who adopted Shadow, we would be incredibly grateful if you would consider contacting Inland Valley Humane Society and letting them know you are willing to speak with us. Even if the outcome isn't what we hope for, having the opportunity to talk would mean the world to our family. Shadow, if somehow love could find its way to you, know that we haven't stopped looking and we never stopped loving you. We love you, Shadow.

Healthy paws is the only pet store I buy pet food from. The shop has everything you need to keep…read moreyour pet healthy. In addition, I prefer to support small businesses, such as this one. I love the owner, Dawn. She has a small cat adoption center at the back of her store. She rescues cats and puts them up for adoption. She's an amazing person. Owners like that need more support from residents in the area. I have been going to her for over a decade. And I will continue to go there for pet food. I could not recommend this place enough to everyone. People donate items to her, so she can sell them. All the proceeds go to the rescued cats. Sometimes she has bake sales as well. Just come and support her business.

Just for fun we did Wisdom Panel testing and of course she came back 100% Ragdoll with no concerning health markers or issues. We will be working with Jessica to adopt a companion for Zelda. Jessica describes her kittens as having top social temperament, and nothing could be truer. Zelda is very playful and loving. You won't believe it, but she actually plays fetch! She has charming toe beans and likes to have the fur between her toe beans rubbed. She follows me around the house talking and purring, and flops down at my feet whenever I pause to do anything. She sleeps on our bed at night and brings her crinkle ball to us in the morning when she is ready to get up and play. My previous comments stand: Jessica is a professional and ethical breeder, who provides the best possible healthy happy gorgeous Ragdolls.
