https://www.facebook.com/share/p/8nqwk17hBoScgrJR/?mibextid=oFDknk I just want to leave my story here It hurts my soul to see this post, I trusted Urgent Vet, my cocky felt bad on Wednesday afternoon, I tried to call and find an appointment at the place where they have always treated him Stand For Animals Veterinary, they did not answer me, I sent an email to the Doctor who treated him in August and she told me that he had problems in the urine and ordered me to give him antibiotics, yes we gave it as the Doctor told me, on Thursday he woke up better, but on Friday morning he did not get out of his bed, I sent an email to his Doctor to see if she could recommend a place to take him because I saw he was in bad shape, the Doctor recommended Urgent Vet and told me that it was not so expensive there, she made the appointment for 5 in the afternoon, we took him with my son, I paid for the X-rays that were almost $ 700 dollars, they told me that he needed surgery, that he had stones and that He urgently needed the surgery that cost $4000 or it could be more and that I couldn't take him because he was in very bad shape, and that if I didn't have the money for the surgery there were two options: 1) call a shelter to take care of the surgery but we would lose all rights to Cocky or the other was to put him to sleep. We couldn't pay that amount so we ourselves helped find a shelter to operate on him. We couldn't allow Cocky to suffer, and we never, ever authorized that he be sacrificed or put to sleep. We have had Cocky four years and we love him with all our heart and strength. He always had his medical exams and vaccinations up to date every year. My children love him, my husband and I love him, especially my 9 year old son who hasn't stopped crying and suffering since that day, and all because we were not in a good economic position at the moment, but all our family and friends know how important he is to our family. how happy he was with us, it hurts us that they take advantage of our pain to say things that are not true, my nine year old son is entering in depression because every time he came home from school Cocky greeted him with all his love and joy, just like us, my other 13 year old son is also suffering, I don't understand why they say that we had him in a miserable situation, when we always treated Cocky with love, the only thing we are guilty of is not having the money and putting our trust in emergency vet, and giving him up due to lack of money. read more

Forever Angels Animal Adoption - Pet Adoption Near Me

See all

Adopted a dog through this rescue earlier this year. Was told he was four. Had his chip transferred to us just last month and chip indicates he's 11. Doesn't change anything for us - he's a great dog and we'll love him just the same - I just don't understand how any reputable animal adoption entity makes this big of a mistake. That's quite a discrepancy. We were looking to bring a younger dog into our family and now we have three older dogs all around 11. Not what we wanted. Just a heads up to do your own research if you decide to work with these guys. read more

I have been fostering a dog for FAAR since late January 2023. It is hard to even know where to start with how irresponsible and poorly run this "rescue" is. The dog I foster was a pull from a county shelter. I was told she was docile and good with other dogs and people, but this isn't true. She was so sick and neglected when I got her that she wasn't able to do much, but that changed when she got well. Since having her over 7 months, her aggression has only grown. She has tried to attack my neighbors, she has been hit by a car when trying to attack a neighborhood dog, and I was dragged down the sidewalk by her as she tried to attack someone walking by, causing road rash and permanent scarring down my knees and legs. She randomly fights my dog and has snapped at visitors. I have been asking them for over 3 months to take her back for my safety and hers, and they refuse. I have asked for help finding a volunteer to train her, and they refused. I asked for help getting her into a K9 academy since she is a working breed, and they ignored that too. At one point, she got sick again and was throwing up blood and passing bloody stool, and they would not approve me to take her to the vet due to the cost. It took two weeks for them to even call the vet, and it turned out to be worms that could have been easily and affordable treated as soon as I reported it. The foster dog suffered because of their horrible lack of care and resources. ThIs week, they approved her adoption to a family with a small child despite knowing her history, and she bit him within hours of being there. They demanded I pick her up from the family and take her back in, and they guilt tripped me about how I was failing her if I didn't when I refused. I did not want to bring her back because of how she treats my dog and the lack of support they give me as a foster. They ended up saying they'd euthanize her if I didn't go get her, so I went, partly because I was afraid she would hurt the child. 20 minutes after getting her back to our house, she attacked my dog, and I thought she was going to kill her. My dog had to be taken to the ER with an injured leg and multiple puncture wounds. When I contacted them to come get her tonight, I got ignored by the director, and the adoption coordinator started making excuses. At no point have they accepted responsibility for this after insisting I take the foster back. Despite knowing that I've requested a new placement for her over 5 times, and they've said they don't have room to place her somewhere, they continue to take in more dogs from kill shelters. They also plan to post her tomorrow for adoption again. It is unethical and dangerous. This foster could have been rehabbed, but not by me, as I lack the experience, and they should have taken her back as soon as I told them the first time that I couldn't handle her or help her. Tomorrow I am taking the foster back to the shelter I pulled her from for the safety of my dog and my family. She will probably be euthanized, and it will be because Furever Angels Animal Rescue does not operate ethically. read more

Fabulous rescue! They take care in finding the appropriate home for the adopted pet. I trust these people so much! Truly a wonderful rescue. I've been in rescue for 23 years and know the ropes. This is a fabulous rescue. read more

Best rescue ever! So accommodating an so knowledgeable. Could not be happier with this adoption. Thank you so much.

Great people working hard to save animals! Appreciate all the work of the volunteers.

We just adopted a Maltese that is precious and loving. Forever Angels obviously had taken great care of Juno until she was old enough for us to pick her up. They are a great organization that is very professional and doing loving work finding homes for animals. read more

Owner seems to believe she is an expert in human and dog psychology and knows people better than they know themselves and their own dogs. As a PhD in psychology, I can say I disagree with the assessment. If you'd like a dog, don't waste your time here. They would rather raise the dogs themselves than deign to allow you to adopt the dog. After this experience, we'd rather buy a purebred dog than rescue a lovely dog so unnecessarily "protected" by this condescending organization. The dogs deserve better. I hope they are proud of themselves. Find another organization that put the dogs instead of the people's egos first read more

If I could give zero stars I would. We went through the adoption process, had a home visit and then were told we should consider an older puppy based on their assumptions of what THEY thought our family needed. We have two adult dogs who are well loved & a part of our family, we have had several dogs from puppyhood and know what is involved in having a puppy. They made an assumption of why we wanted a puppy based on what was communicated by the foster mom but never made an effort to call me and have a more detailed conversation. If you want to be judged and have someone tell you what THEY think is best for your family, then this is the rescue for you! We are a loving family who wanted to add another dog to our family...after all, isn't that the goal...finding loving families for dogs needing a home?? Instead they threw the "we are animal advocates and know what is best". Sorry but in this case, they were way off base and did the puppy in question a disservice. There are too many other amazing rescues in the Charlotte area, save yourself the time and don't bother with this one. read more

I am so very disappointed in Furever Angels Animal Adoptions of Charlotte/Monroe, NC. Went through the entire application process, some person named 'Brenda' called to get us approved through our veterinarian of 15 years, I made an initial visit to the foster parent's house on a Thursday to meet a 12 year old Chihuahua named 'Yoda,' and the dog was awesome. He licked my hand twice, followed me to the door as I was leaving after an hour's visit. We were told that the dog's original family members had either passed away and/or put into a nursing home in SC. Evidently FAAR adopted the dog first to a family in Virginia that had other dogs. They were asked to relinquish the dog back to FAAR after three months - reasons are sketchy. 'Per the rules,' made a second appointment with the foster person - Brandi - on the following Saturday so my husband could visit with the dog. Was contacted three times by Brandi from Friday to Saturday morning via text msgs that 'she had decided' to cancel the second appointment because the dog was 'acting nervous' and she wanted to figure out what the previous family had done to him? We found this to be highly suspect and reasons for cancellation sketchy at best. Not even a phone call which was highly unprofessional. I know there are quality rescue organizations out there, but do your homework. We felt totally duped after preparing to bring the little guy into our home. We are professionals, with no children and would have offered a fantastic home to Yoda. Please note that you will not be able to 'speak' to anyone at this organization, no phone numbers, no addresses to be found anywhere - just a vague email through their Facebook page. Your only recourse is to speak to a 'foster' person, but if that person decides you are not worthy, there will be no recourse. So very sad, and unprofessional. Look elsewhere. read more
