They require $350 of training classes up front in addition to these fees and vet expenses. The dental info is not forth coming and could become a large liability since they reserve the right to remove the dog at their discretion for the life of the pet. They, also, will guarantee heart worm status. In addition, they do not hold a non-profit status. That says a great deal right there. One more insight, at the end of one of their handout about nutrition, they accuse vets for taking money for food recommendations. This is far from the truth, vets receive a discount from most pet food companies for personal pets, only.

They decided to back out gave him to another family Long My wife and I made the wonderful decision to want to grow our family this year. We have been looking for dogs for awhile. After much deliberation and research, we decided an Italian Greyhound would be an excellent fit for the many needs of our little family. We spent time searching for an Italian Greyhound we could rescue, even contacting breed-specific rescues. Even though we are ideal applicants, we were told that these rescues are not receiving the same influx of greyhounds they used to, and we would be waiting YEARS if we were even lucky enough to get one at all. Within 24 hours of this correspondence with this other rescue, they contacted us. They said they had information of an Italian greyhound coming to the state through a different rescue. We were so grateful for their help and felt this was a special, clandestine experience we were having to grow our family. We placed our applications in minutes, called to confirm our family's application, and after a week of waiting I received a call that we were selected. This meant the whole world to our small family and felt like a calling from the universe. Instead, I received radio silence the next day... and was then followed by an email that they would be instead giving the dog to another family , even after we confirmed that we were selected. Why? Because another family (the foster) apparently was more deserving. What a heartbreaking decision by this company. After we have done everything right... the long hours of research, the arduous application, all the hard things to just simply want to grow our family taken away. How can an organization choose to get people's hopes up and break their hearts by saying we "made it"... only to just take it away. It isn't right or fair.

Unfortunately for this cafe, they must not clean or sterilize daily, which is vital. Every time we have been, the kitties all have URIs. People ask about their obvious sickness, which the owners chalk up to "it's like a preschool in here! All the kids catch everything from everyone!" New cats need to be quarantined until they are deemed healthy. The room itself has couches and soft chairs, which are not washed. A place like this needs surfaces that can be disinfected each day to prevent the spread of disease and growth of bacteria. Every review I see has people noticing the strong smell of urine; the owners don't take the feedback that they need to be washing the litter boxes every day, and instead are rude to their patrons for sharing their opinion. The building also is not very secure. There is no vestibule to prevent cats from running out, as is common in other similar venues. Additionally, on multiple occasions, the owners have posted on online platforms about losing their cats. While this might be a fun outing for humans, I don't think this is a healthy or safe place for cats.

Three weeks into the process, I reached out for an update--any update--and still received nothing. They have been extremely unprofessional.

Thanks for listening.

Stay far, FAR away from this place!! Inexperienced,…read moreuneducated, and rude people are all you will find. They care more about making money than finding the best fit for their dogs, and their attitude towards potential adopters makes that abundantly clear. Not to mention $300-800 for a RESCUE dog is absolutely absurd even with vetting. Claiming to pull dogs from high kill shelters all over the country when they're only truly pulling cutesy small dogs they can make a pretty penny off of. Having worked at an animal shelter for years I have a pretty good grasp on how they should function, and it is pretty much the exact opposite of what BDDR has shown me. Meet and greets at the foster dog's home instead of neutral ground without any Brighter Days personnel even actively present is enough for one to turn and run. Then stating that a "successful meet and greet" simply means the two dogs didn't fight? Yikes. Sad standards. The two dogs didn't fight so it's okay even though the potential adoptee was showing clear signs of unease and aggression throughout the entire meet and greet? So both dogs long term comfort and wellbeing and the adopters peace of mind is completely irrelevant? Why are we letting people that can't even read basic dog body language foster these animals and make adoption decisions? The goal of any true, legitimate animal rescue should be to find best fit for that specific animal. Not to quickly pass them in to the first home that comes along so you can make your $800 and then get upset when adopters change their mind in the BEST INTEREST OF THAT ANIMAL. Holding a change of heart against potential adopters and then refusing to let them even look at any of your other dogs is a childish and unprofessional move. And the only ones that suffer from it are the poor animals in your care. Put your petty, personal feelings aside and do better. Do better for the animals.

WE ARE SO FURIOUS!! AN ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SHELTER. DO NOT RESCUE FROM HERE…read more My mom had applied to adopt a cat from this place over two weeks ago. The director said the cat she was interested in wasn't up for adoption yet and she would have to wait. After many days of my mom calling and talking to the lady she basically said that the cat was already hers she just had to wait for him to be available. Today my mom called the shelter again and the director said THAT THEY GAVE THE CAT AWAY!!!! my mom was so devastated. We just lost our family dog and she was so excited and looking forward to getting a new cat. The director said it was because they had heard my mom say she was going to make it an outdoor cat, WHICH IS COMPLETELY FALSE. first, my mom would never do that. She specifically wants a cuddly indoor kitty as a companion, second the shelter specifically said she cant have an outdoor cat and my mom agreed with that part of the contract. It makes absolutely no sense. I could tell from the very beginning something was off about this rescue and I was right. I'm not sure what they're doing over there but whatever it is it's not good. We will probably be getting in contact with a lawyer. DO NOT ADOPT FROM HERE!!!

YAY! I get to finally write a review on 4P4L!!…read more We found 4P4L due to a Petfinder search back in 2021. The dog we initially adopted wasn't good with our cats even though he was fine in his foster home with the resident cat. 4P4L understood and we were able to return him. They had asked me to write an updated bio for him so that potential adopters would get a better understanding of his demeanor. He was such a sweet dog but my cats weren't his thing, which wasn't his fault in the slightest. I wrote the bio and he got adopted. I was then asked to volunteer and become a foster, so we started fostering. A 3 day sleepover for a foster pup is how we started and since 2021, we have fostered over 100 dogs and volunteer at adoption events. While it is so tempting to adopt all our fosters, we know we're just helping them adjust to home life. There have been a few that we invoked the 6 month rule: if we have the pup for 6 months, we would adopt him/her because at 6 months, you're a part of our pack. Last month, there was a need to foster these 2 rottie pups because it was time for them to separate from their momma and momma needed a break. Rotties are one of our preferred breeds! Well, we invoked the 6 DAY rule knowing that the pups would be adopted within the week. So that's it! That's how we got our Saoirse! Even if you cannot adopt, please think about volunteering with us or becoming a foster! A little weekend break from the kennel is what all the dogs need and you may just invoke your own 6 day rule!!

We arrived and she comes out to us, UNBATHED, UNGROOMED and she SMELLED awful. She had diarrhea all over her rear end and she was SO terrified, she was shaking and pooped in the girls arms as she was carrying her. It was OBVIOUS that not ONE person had worked with her, bathed her or groomed her since she arrived at this facility! Just put her up on line and waited for someone to adopt her. Clearly NOT in it for the welfare of these animals. Just the money. Never an apology or explanation for this. No follow up phone call to see how she was adjusting. NOTHING. Based on everything here, we DO NOT RECOMMEND this rescue. They are SHAMEFUL!
