    Hi, to All of You that reads this. I met CODY, around 2013,…read morein Phoenix Arizona.I believe He was already a few Years Young. His owner became ill, and If She couldn't find someone to take Him, I was told,She would have had to put Him to sleep. I Immediately stepped in. We were Homeless together for 2 1/2 years, and with the help of the VA, and VASH, ( I am an Honorably Discharged Veteran of the United States Navy), I was Approved for Section 8 Housing. After being on the bottom of a waiting list (for an Apartment) CODY and I soon got Our own place! He has been with Me as My Family, My Companion, One of My Loves, and most importantly, My Sobriety Cat. "My HERO"! We have been through a lot together. He has kept Me Strong during difficult times, (We all know how Life can be)! Around the beginning of the Year, 2026, I took CODY in for a check-up. I found Out He had "Kidney Disease". I was devastated. I didn't know what little time We had left together. His last weekend with Me, He wasn't eating and Very weak. I contacted Humane Society in Escondido, cause I live in North County. I made an Appointment to bring Him in. It was Sunday March 15, 2026. When I arrived, the Staff were very Courteous, Compassionate and really showed their Love for My CODY, like I have. They allowed Me to spend as much time as needed. I asked them if they can give Him some water, because He seemed to be trying to swallow. They said of course, and They would give Him "Whipped Cream"! When I left Him that afternoon, CODY looked so Peaceful! I Truly felt I had made the right decision! My Sincere Appreciation for CODY and San Diego Humane Society (Escondido Branch)! btw I am still maintaining Sobriety! NMRK

    I adopted a cat from the Escondido humane society.

They said we'll tomorrow at 10am . I came back and they were not able to give the cat her shot again unless I came back at 1pm. Don't trust these people, they are very nice until they collect your money. And very rude even after explaining the cost of gas for giving g wro g I formation 2 days in a row. And they are even worse when they think the cat did not come from the shelter. I already decided to do the shots at Kahoots. And never again get an ani.al from Escondido Humane Society again. They are fake people. They don't care if they stress out your pet, once you take it and paid them money. Horrible stink pot place to get a pet.

    Where do I begin? We absolutely loved our visit here! You can tell Wes and his wife love their…read moreanimals so much and take such wonderful care of them. We booked the Mini Pig Experience and added on a visit with the mini cows: Adeline, Shasta, and Sedona. We really enjoyed our conversations with Wes, and he made the entire experience so fun and memorable. Their ranch, along with the time we spent with the beautiful pigs and cows, gave us the chance to disconnect from the stresses of everyday life. We received a complimentary bucket of greens to feed the pigs. Definitely wear clothes you're comfortable getting dirty in - the pigs love the mud, and they also love cuddling up with you! We would love to visit again and stay in their Stargazer Suites that overlook the cows' ranch area!

Visits are by appointment only, so my husband and I booked a session on Valentine's Day. This was hands down the best animal experience we've had, thanks to the amazing staff and adorable animals. The animals were friendly, engaging, and active, which is a testament to how happy and well cared for they are. Each party is given a complimentary bucket of lettuce to feed the animals, with more available for purchase. We got to pet and feed not only mini pigs, but also goats, ducks, chickens, and even a large, handsome turkey. And because it was Valentine's Day, the staff passed around glasses of sparkling wine for guests, which was an extra special touch. The setting is tucked away in a mountainous area, making it feel like a hidden gem off the beaten path. It was the perfect stop on our way to San Diego. We're definitely looking forward to returning again next time!

    I got my pup Ginger in march 2025 and there's a reason all of these reviews of Ary and his…read moreoperation are 5 stars. it is because Ary is a really standup moral person and is above board and incredibly thorough with his care and handling of his dogs and the dogs he produces . A year after getting my pup she was having an issue on her front left leg walking and my vet was not solving the problem and also charging me lots of money for nothing . Ary was kind enough to take my pup back and forth to his vet in TJ once a week for a month and get her treated at a fraction of the cost for me. I can't say enough good things about the man he really is willing and will go the extra mile for his dogs and people who support his business and I am deeply grateful for his character . my pups fracture got healed and he pretty much saved the day so thank you sir for all your good work .

    We first learned about Ary and One of a Kind Bulldogs in March 2024, after the heartbreaking loss…read moreof my beloved standard English Bulldog, who lived a long, full life of 12 years and 9 months. Our home felt unbearably quiet, so my husband and I began searching for a reputable local breeder. That's when we discovered Ary and his amazing Olde English Bulldogs. From the start, we were impressed by his reviews, videos, and -- most notably -- his facility. It's not what you'd typically expect from a breeder. Ary lives on the property, but his dogs have large, well-maintained play yards, plenty of toys, shaded areas, and an impeccably clean environment. When we visited, Ary took time to educate us about the Olde English Bulldog breed, even though we had already done our research. His passion for the breed and his dedication to finding the right home for each dog really stood out. It was clear that his priority is the well-being of the dogs, not profit. A year later, we are still continually amazed by Ary's ongoing care and support for his customers and their fur babies. He responds to every text within an hour and has fostered a wonderful community through his One of a Kind Bulldogs group. The group is an invaluable resource for training tips, medical advice, and encouragement from other Bulldog owners. One of the highlights is the annual get-together Ary hosts for his Bulldog family, a true testament to the community he has built. We know we're biased because we love our Doopy beyond words, but our vet -- who has cared for all three of our Bulldogs -- confirmed what we already knew: Doopy is exceptionally well-bred. We couldn't be more grateful to Ary and One of a Kind Bulldogs for bringing so much love and joy into our lives.

    I wish I could give more than 5 stars!…read more I have been patient in looking to add a kitten/cat to our family and stumbled across Marigold on a fosters Instagram page which prompted me to submit an application. Kat reached out the very next day after reviewing our application and pre approved us. Yelena reached out for all coordination afterwards. Marigold was not even posted on the rescues page but they were so kind and were able to get us in to meet her. The foster mom (and dad) were wonderful and have been doing this for so long (60+ kitties). We instantly fell in love with Marigold and were able to be selected to adopt her (pat on our back for being able to provide a good home). She came from a hoarder home and was lucky to survive from malnutrition. We came back to get her after getting she completed her shots/spayed. Not even 24 hours in, my one year old tabby loves her and she is settling in perfectly. I will say I have had not so great experiences with other rescues in the area and Dirty Little Paws surpassed all expectations! I hope one day I can repay them and foster another baby in need.

    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. I couldn't be more pleased with finding my forever best friend. I definitely will go back to foster or adopt another dog. 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!
