Pet Welfare is a no kill dog and cat rescue on Eglin AFB. They are a fully volunteer and donation…read morebased organization. Animals often come from military families that are no longer able to care for their animals or from surrounding areas. All pets are fully vaccinated and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. I know some people have concerns about shelters, some say they are not honest. Pet Welfare is straight forward about all the pets they have. All cats and dogs have been to the vet, as frequently as needed for treatments, routine evaluations or acute concerns. They will not adopt out a pet with a known problem without disclosing it. They are an honest and loving group of volunteers that truly only want the best for the beloved animals. I can speak both as an adoptive doggie momma from this rescue and a dog volunteer, the volunteers truly love and care for these animals. They dogs are maintained in clean kennels and exercised regularly. We adopted our girl when she was brought to the shelter after being abandoned in a box with the rest of her litter mates as small puppies. My girl was so loved before we were lucky enough to bring her into our home. I am a big advocate for pet adoption. Shelter dogs have so much love to give. And the dogs at Pet Welfare are overflowing with love and potential. If you are toying with the idea of adoption you definitely need to check out the animals at Pet Welfare.

They will help you find the pet for you, you can just tell them what you want and by the way they have cats and dogs! Many adorable cats and with all kinds of personalities just like the dogs. The dogs were all ages and most really friendly and playful, the conditions aren't bad but of course I felt bad for them and wish I could take them all cause they need a home. They help you pick a good fit and have some one who will help see if the dog gets alone with any other pets and kids, also there's a little park you can play with them and see how friendly they are with you. I also looked at the cats for a while and they have a few babies, young and older ones. The people were so sweet and every one is volunteering! And better it's a no kill shelter!!! They really seem like they care and they will tell you everything they know about the dog and medical stuff so this is where I will be adopting from, I'm not sure which dog yet but I'm hoping when I play with some that I'll know, they also have all kinds of dogs big and small, they all need a home and it's 100$ to adopt I believe which Isn't bad and it's going to keeping up with a good place.

Every time something like this happens, rescues are forced to add more requirements, more safeguards, and more restrictions in an effort to protect our dogs. Policies that adopters sometimes find frustrating are often created because trust was broken somewhere along the way. Situations like this affect not just one dog, but future adopters and future rescue policies as well.

I adopted a kitten directly from HHR and it was very sick. Amy didn't have the correct paperwork…read morefor the kitten so I contacted the name on the paperwork she did give me in hopes to find out what was going on. Come to find out, Amy adopted that kitten to me, but it actually belonged to another. The lady wanted her kitten back, so I gave it back.....what else could you do? I found out that the same lady paid for all of the kittens to be fixed and yet saw on Amy's HHR FB page that she was asking for donations for the kittens to be fixed. This is when I learned the rest of the story. Amy promised to house a group of kittens for the lady until she got her place up and running after the hurricane. Apparently, Amy forgot she made that deal and was giving those same kittens away. This is one crazy story.......you can't make this up. In the long run, I ended up adopting a kitten that was taken from HHR because it was on its way to death. Amy put the kitten in a rabbit cage with a huge male rabbit where not only was the rabbit abusing the kitten, but the cage itself was disgustingly filthy from neglect. (Neglect is a good word because I've seen it many times there at HHR) The lady that took the kitten, paid for the vet bills for a two month healing. Yes, it took two months to nurse that baby back to health. The lady said she had to give that baby 3 baths to get all of the rabbit remains off. (I try not to think about it because it makes me sick) When Amy was asked why she would ever put a kitten in with an adult male rabbit, she said that nobody likes black cats anyways. Well, let me tell you........that baby is now two years old and as happy as happy can be with all of her zooming around this house. She knows this house belongs to her and she is Queen of Everything!
