I brought my dog to the foster's home to have him interact with the dog we were interested in adopting. The foster mom then visited my home to make sure it was suitable for the new dog. Each of these visits required a 2 hour drive each way. It was well worth it to ensure we were getting a dog well suited for our family and that the adopted dog was getting a home suited for her. I could not be more pleased. All that effort and time paid off as I now have a new best buddy for me and my existing dog. She is a jewel and a perfect fit for my family. We love our new addition and I would adopt again from LnF and highly recommend her.

I filled out a questionnaire on line and Marlene matched us with Starla. We went to Marlene's house to meet and I instantly liked Marlene and fell in love with Starla. Marlene came to my house do the inspection and it went well and Marlene just gave me a few suggestions. We keep in touch so she can see Starla progress. I highly recommend LNF and Marlene. Just make sure you read all the requirements!!

Made a appointment with Faithful friends to do a small Mass removal on my small dog. I dropped her…read moreoff when I went back to pick her up at 4:00. The vet that worked on her came out and told me after he closed her up the first time she was still bleeding real bad. He had to go back in and put her to sleep and open her up the second time. So I had to sit and wait an extra hour for her to wake up off the anesthesia. When they brought her out to me they had her in some kind of suit. The lady was carrying her and she said it was a space suit. She said she would carry her to my truck and they had raped her and she told me to take the bandages off. When I got home that night I took the bandages off. I couldn't believe my eyes. I never seen anything so bad in my whole life. She was so swollen and bruised in between. Her two back legs was so swelled. They look like giant blood blisters. They gave me enough meds for 7 days and and said rest. I stayed with her in my bedroom around the clock and kept icing her down. When I called and said how swelled she was that's what they told me to do after a week and a half bleeding had never stopped. It wasn't real bad thick drops but steady and then it got a little worse and he told me to put a Band-Aid on her so I was using big band needs. Every time I took one off it was so filled with blood. I couldn't believe it. So I took. I called and said she was in pain and I need it more medicine. I'm still thinking well. Some swelling went down and don't look as bad. I was praying she'd be okay. They told me I would have to bring her in to get the medicine so I did why there? I told him bleeding never stop. Is she bled on their floor where I was sittinI told the lady at the receptionist she went and got a mop and mopped it up. They gave me more meds and told me the same thing. Rest and I left within 21 days from surgery to the day she bled out and died in my arms. I left another review. It would be the first review and I put pictures with it but it looked like things were changed around and it was set so I added it and I'm rewriting it now. I don't know if They'll let me post pictures to show you how bad it was. I called there said I would like to talk to the vet that did the mass removal on my dog. She passed away and they said they were so sorry and they would have him call me a week. Maybe a little over a week later. He called. I told him you went in twice. You had to do something wrong the first time for her to bleed like that for you to go back in the second time. He called me delusional and asked me can I prove it? I got pictures of before I brought her there and look great and I got pictures when they were done with her she looked so bad he had to know something was wrong for him to opened her up twice. He just prolonged her death. She suffered for 21 days before her passing. He told me the second time he went in. He tied everything off and she'd be okay. Just rest and medicine from surgery to the day she passed was exactly 21 days. I googled it about if a vet opens the dog up twice and it told me that yes that's not good. I experience that should know better and if she died within 21 days that's why she died because she was opened up twice. If you would have just told me the first time before he opened her up the second time because everybody makes a mistake that he hits something and couldn't stop the bleeding and had to know she was going to pass away. He just let her suffer. I would have just had her put down so she didn't suffer. I am very hurt that he has denied anything to do with her passing. I'm very mad. He opened her up twice. Never asked me. Could he go back in twice or did I want him to go back in? He just did it on his own. I lost my best friend my companion. She was all I had. She went everywhere with me and did everything together. She is very missed. I'm lost . and he still hasn't taken responsibility for what happened to her. I believe he's mean and selfish and knowing she was going to pass and he let her suffer for the 21 days. All I've done is cry. I can't believe I took her for a small Mass removal to make sure she was okay and I was so happy to go get her and then he came out and told me he had it open her twice and when I took her him and seen her it was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. I had to watch my dog suffer for 21 days. Why he was in denial until her death? Dr Quin did the surgery I'm not from PA in from Newcastle Delaware.

Through the years story after story has been negative, which is so sad to hear from a rescue. I've had very good luck over the years with my rescues except for the one from La Mancha. As with others, they did not stand by their adoptions and would not take back an aggressive dog. Others have had exactly the same issues. At first glance you drive in and it looks fabulous. It is a beautiful location and seems to be a loving atmosphere filled with wonderful volunteers. I could go on with story after story, but with SO many wonderful rescues in the area (Greenmore, Lucky Dawg, Justice Rescue, All 4 Paws, Providence Animal Center, etc.) LaMancha is the last place I would ever recommend. It certainly seems much more "for profit" than a place that truly wants to help animals. Yes, I know some have had good experiences, I just know that many, including myself, did not have the great outcome we had hoped it would be.

We were originally told we would be meeting one puppy, but when we arrived, we were introduced to a different one. Told she would be a better fit. We instantly fell in love and adopted her. Shortly after bringing her home, she was diagnosed with a grade 6 heart murmur caused by a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). We emailed the rescue multiple times asking if they could help in any way--whether through fundraising, grants, or other resources to help cover the cost of her lifesaving surgery. Weeks passed with no response. When they finally replied after we posted a comment on Facebook, they asked for our vet's info so they could call to get her info from the cardiologist (according to our vet no one called). They also told us they were having a meeting to discuss options. We reached out again. A week later their only offer was to return her. We replied we wanted help with fundraising etc. for surgery - no reply backAGAIN! During the four weeks of them playing games, our puppy went into respiratory distress from congestive heart failure. Despite our veterinarian's best efforts, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to euthanize her at just five months old. After everything we went through, we requested a refund of our adoption fee. Once again, we received no response. Our experience left us feeling completely abandoned during one of the most devastating times our family has ever faced. We encourage anyone considering adopting from this rescue to ask detailed questions about the medical evaluations and health history of the dogs before adopting. We hope sharing our experience helps others make an informed decision.
