YELP COMPLAINT AGAINST SIAN, GINGER'S PET RESCUE'S CURRENT OWNER…read more I adopted my second dog from Ginger's Pet Rescue on April 16, 2025. In the case of my new dog, I had to pick only from a photo (from Korea) on the website, sight unseen. Upon receipt of the dog (Millie), she arrived with 7 cracked teeth and both back knees were outside of their sockets (patella luxation), an apparent birth defect (information the vet diagnosed later). Allegedly, the new owner of Ginger's Pet Rescue knew nothing about Millie's health concerns. Sian said all the Korean vet was responsible for, was to administer its required vaccinations. Unfortunately, Ginger Luke passed away a while ago and this very much impacted my poor experience with the new owner, Sian. Upon taking my dog (Millie) to the vet, I found out her health issues (7 cracked teeth, patella luxation). I contacted Sian and from my first interaction she was very negative, I felt she was trying to bully me, she was very aggressive and rude. First, Sian said the only thing she would do is to send Millie back to Korea to have the work done by the Korean vet. In addition, I had to pay an additional $1,000 for someone to escort her back to Korea. Sian's explanation was that she is billed on a monthly basis so she could pay Millie's bill on a monthly basis ( irrelevant and not my problem). * I had just come from a cruise in Korea and the plane ride was 14 hours one-way. I felt it was unnecessarily cruel and inhumane to make the dog travel for 28 hours to/from Korea when she just arrived. * I asked if Millie could be treated by a local vet and this was absolutely not an option, per Sian. * The big difference is Ginger's Pet Rescue no longer sends dogs from other countries before they are adopted (so people cannot take the animal to a local vet). They no longer have foster parents. When Ginger was alive, foster parents were very happy to foster dogs who would eventually be adopted in the U.S. * Regardless of whether I sent Millie back to Korea or I wanted to return Millie, I would have to keep her until it was convenient for them to take her off my hands. o Obviously, the longer I had to keep Millie, the more attached I became to her. * Sian said she would not give me a refund. I complained to the Luke family and it was through the Lukes that Sian clearly, begrudgedly agreed to give my money back. It was obvious Sian was very angry because she stated repeatedly that they will not and have not ever given refunds. The end of the story was that I felt I had to keep Millie. One of the reasons why I have not completed this Yelp complaint letter until now is because: 1) the 7 tooth extractions cost me a total of over $2,000 and 2) Millie has had to be operated on both back legs and this has cost be over $18,000. This could have been avoided if I was able to take Millie to a local vet and if Sian disclosed her health issues. The adoption process was such a very negative experience for me, and I will never again use this pet rescue ever again. Others considering adoption from this pet rescue need to be forewarned prior to using them. Someone needs to change the name of Ginger's Pet Rescue because this is no longer a credible organization. Ginger built such a positive reputation and she truly was concerned with the animals' well-being. I would have loved to remember Ginger's Pet Rescue as Ginger left it, before she passed. At this point, continuing the use of name "Ginger's Pet Rescue" just gives the Luke Family a bad reputation. Best Regards, Bev Kashino 206-488-6678

I cannot say enough good about this rescue.  We adopted our wonderful furbaby from FSIR almost 4…read moreyears ago.  I found our dog on Petfinder and thought she was in the Bay Area, but she was actually in Taiwan.  I was apprehensive, but I researched as best I could and prayed about it and just went for it and it worked out beautifully!  Please don't let your apprehension about adopting from an overseas rescue deter you from adopting from this group.  They are legitimate.  Our vet was very impressed with the vet services our dog received from FSIR while in Taiwan.  I personally used to rescue dogs and I was very impressed with the vet services and level of care our dog received in Taiwan and while being transported to America.  In Taiwan, our dog was on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention.  This is of utmost importance for the health of a dog and some rescues don't attend to these needs because of the costs.  FSIR does and they sent us a healthy dog! Yenchi is FSIR's representative that was in contact with me.  She required pictures of our home and yard and my current vet's contact information. She also asked various questions regarding current and former pets and pet ownership.  She was in contact after the adoption for updates.  FSIR makes clear to you that pet ownership is a huge responsibility, both financially and personally.  I never felt like they were trying to push a dog off on me.  They are the type of group that does not want to adopt a dog to you if you are not serious about the responsibility of owning a pet.   Yenchi did a fantastic job of working out the details of the transport from Taiwan and was in clear contact with me about when/where to pick our dog up.  We picked our furbaby up at SFO and there were no problems.  It's my understanding that FSIR can work out adoptions to pretty much any airport that has a direct flight from Taipei. Please, please consider adopting from FSIR!  It's a legitimate rescue group who takes good care of the dogs they rescue and works hard to find the right homes for them.

Forgotten Dogs does an incredible job rescuing dogs who are going to be euthanized and need help…read more They have a dedicated and loving team of fosters who get the dogs check ups and medical care if needed. They give accurate descriptions of their dogs because they want their dogs to truly fit in their new families. The fosters also train and help the dogs learn how to be a family member. Forgotten Dogs rescued our dog the day before she was going to be put down. She was overlooked at the animal shelter because she was cowering in the back of her cage, was droopy from having nursed puppies and she is a black dog. Her mid-section firmed up and she gained confidence and really blossomed with the security of her foster home. She is an incredible dog, cute, smart, and is very expressive. She is popular everywhere she goes. Follow them on Instagram @forgottendogsrescue to see their dogs and when appropriate many of their posts are humorous. I highly recommend Forgotten Dogs Rescue they have a lot of integrity and are knowledgeable, reputable, responsible, kind, helpful, supportive and loving rescue.
