Applied here a few months back, heard back about scheduling a phone interview a few times but no one would call at the scheduled time. I called the number a few times and left messages regarding the interview and never heard back. If you're thinking about applying here, don't it's a waste of time. No one ever calls and it takes about a week to get a response on indeed each time you send a message and it's a very minimal response that just leads to more questions and nothing gets answered. Don't waste your time. read more

This shelter has been COMPLETELY taken over by a new board of directors. 99% of the staff has left and it is being run by animal lovers who believe in creating a healthy environment for the animals in the facility. Their new website and FB posts show the high level of commitment for change in this facility. Reading thru the old reviews is horrifying on so many levels. This change was much needed. read more

We were told several times that this shelter has a no-kill shelter. Our Emily was being held there before she was going to be transferred to a north Carolina shelter, but she was "mixed-up" with another dog, so our Emily was put down. The unprofessionalism was appalling, because no one was informed before hand that they were going to put her down. We are writing a formal complaint to the shelter's board of directors. When my mother went to donate some things to them. under the impression that they were taking care of Emily, she said that the employees where incredibly harsh to a nice old woman who just realized that they murdered her dog. All of the dogs are malnourished when we got them, every single one of them is incredibly under weight. Our first dog was ten pounds under weight. The only reason you would ever want to interact with this shelter is to save the wonderful dogs under their torturous "care" Edit: we had fully gotten a foster situation ready. We had someone who was willing, ready, and experienced to foster Emily, until this shelter told us that they had a "better place" for her. read more

I dropped my kittens off at JARM who insisted they take Olly and Peaches to and from SNAC to get sterilized and according to JARM their employee left the van unattended while he or she went back to get something they left behind. Again according to JARM while the van was unattended a Dog broke out of his crate and broke Into Olly's crate killing him.... unbelievable on so many levels! read more

We just drove from to Savannah, Ga on a whim to see if they had any dog that would steal our hearts. A bit apprehensive after reading some bad reviews but sometimes you have to just experience a place and make your own judgement. We were greeted by an employee as we walked through the gate and he got a feel for what we were looking for. He introduced us to every dog that was currently available and gave a brief synopsis of each dog's background along with their health history. After looking at all of the available dogs he took us inside to look online at a list of the ones that were ready to be released but had just had been spayed or neutered and recovering. ( Basically ready to be adopted but needed a few days of TLC.) There we found Paco. A Pit/ Boxer brindle mix male. Actually Paco was the one that I saw online that made us make the trip there. Paco was considerably clean and very happy. He had just had his surgery about 4 days prior. We immediately fell in love with him and proceeded with adoption. They were very thorough and made sure we had all of Pacos medicine and instructed us on his diet and to keep his incision dry for a few more days. They micro-chipped him while we were there and gave us the micro-chip tag and paperwork along with his shot records. The place was considerably clean as far as dog shelters go. Sure, you are going to have some smells that go along with boarding that many dogs as they have but there were several employees there cleaning each outdoor ( covered) pen. I think they did a good job of keeping the kennels clean and dry. It's obvious the employees there care very much for their animals. They all made us feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. We most definitely recommend this shelter. KB in Savannah, Ga read more

I would not suggest adopting or doing any business with this "animal rescue" A week ago I adopted my cat Hazel from Petsmart through JARM. When the adoption was finalized we received a folder with all her information (including rabies vac, microchip, spaying/neutering info) I was told it was recommended to get her in to a vet within a week for a check up and possible de-worming. Today I took her into Banfield and was told that not only does she NOT have a rabies vaccination, she wasn't micro-chipped either! I was already upset because both were supposed to be included in the adoption fee and we had papers claiming this had all been taken care of. I decided to call JARM and then proceeded to have the lady argue with me saying she DID have her vaccination done and that her microchip "must have fallen out" I have never heard of an animals microchip falling out and neither has the vet at Banfield. JARM also claims she was spayed, yet the vet couldn't feel an incision on her stomach anywhere, not to mention there is no scar. Seeing as though I adopted her at Petsmart through JARM, I reported this to Petsmart only to find I'm not the first one that's had issues with them. If you're thinking of adopting from this rescue, please be very wary and cautious! read more

The location does not look like an like animal shelter but someone's house and fenced backyard. It's extremely unclean and smells like litter. (Going into an animal shelter you don't expect it to smell like roses but this was disgusting.) We have to shower as soon as we come from being in that place for about and hour and a half. We just wanted to see the pets. (They do not sell crates so we wouldn't be able to take any pet with us) The staff was rude and extremely disrespectful. I walked out for a second to discus which pet we would like to adopt. Once entering I could hear the staff stop their gossip. Clearly talking about us since they had no other customers (&they also talked down to us) (Except for the male employee who was really helpful and answered all our questions.) They were really hesitate to show us the puppies and show us the adults first, (Which I understand how they want to sell the older dogs.) However, we were limited on time and her tour was extremely slow and she frequently stopped to talk to the employee. Once again. I do not recommend this place. I honestly feel bad for the pets having to stay in such conditions. read more
