Without making this too long, I have watched over the past couple years as AAWL has been in a steady decline and AHS has only gotten better. For example, AAWL is regularly turning away any surrendered animal that is going to cost them any significant amount of money; for example, if a cat needs a Dental, forget it! They will turn you and it away. Their intake staff has no medical professionals on it, no vets and no actual licensed vet techs. They have misdiagnosed the past five cats I have tried to surrender even after I showed up with actual vet records proving the surrendered pet(s) to be healthy as diagnosed by a DVM. Just check their website and you'll notice how few pets are up for adoption on any given day on their website, as opposed to AHS. AAWL has terrible customer service as well from the staff to leadership. I could go on with more detail, but the bottom line is AAWL is in trouble and AHS has become a top-notch animal rescue organization. Please don't give them your money! Go to AHS where they appreciate not just you but more importantly the animals in their care.

Boyfriend and I stumbled upon them and saw this pretty white mutt and both went "we like her!". Danielle and he team encouraged us to play with the dogs and get to know them. We have been wanting a dog but were apprehensive because we have two older cats. Danielle told us about the foster to adopt program she has where you can take the dog for a bit and see I'd they are a good fit. Our dogs name was Cupcake because that's what danielle and her team named her when they rescued her. Anyway we brought puppy home and she she fit right in. She was intrigued by the cats but not very aggressive. She was a good girl. Danielle said she was up to date on her shots and everything including being spayed. After a week we told Danielle that we wanted to keep the dog and that we renamed her Milly. We were in love and Danielle was extremely happy. This is how awesome Danielle and her team are: they actually didn't have room to rescue Milly, but because she was so sweet and Danielle knew she would make someone very happy, she took her in anyway. Danielle is so passionate about her work and she enjoys it so much. Please adopt! These animals just want to be loved and need a little TLC and patience. Help support a group like A Dog's Tale because they and the dogs deserve it!!

Considering that, plus they were both spayed and neutered, had their shots, and microchipped, the adoption fee is very reasonable.

My experience adopting a 9 or old shih-tzu has soured me on evercadopting another pet. I later…read morelearned just shortly after adopting her for $400 that she was actually much older than nine years. Two vets estimated her age to be 12 to 14 years old. We found out she couldn't see much at all. Thiscrescue had to know this information already. There was no mention at all about her health. I believe the foster knew too. The foster told us she felt this shih-tzu was much older!! Bottom line, I would not have adopted her if I knew she was much older than nine. $400 to get her at the end of her life. Sad. I love dogs and am giving her the best end of life years I can. But this experience with AZ small dog rescue was like a switch and bait, thought I was adopting a 9 or old with some decent years left. Instead, she is much older, blind and not healthy. These rescue places need to be more honest in their advertising.
