Wendy drove a long distance to oversee the search personally, taking along the client's other dogs to saturate the area with familiar scent.

I just visited with west Warwick animal shelter with a friend who has Down syndrome. We were…read morelooking for a cat for his family. We didn't have an appointment but when we arrived the girl working the desk (Abby) said there were no bookings so we could come in. She showed us the animals and explained the details of each one, age, temperament, cost etc, and answered some of my friends additional questions which had nothing to do with the animals. We got an application and Abby went over all the costs with us so we could write them down. She couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. As sad of a place as an animal shelter can be, she brightened it up and made our visit enjoyable and informative. Hopefully my fiends family will adopt a cat from this location and I know when I'm looking for a an animal this will be one of my first stops. Thanks Abby and all the cats and dogs in west Warwick.

I give West Warwick animal shelter a five star review. My little Shih Tzu named Penny got out of…read moreour fenced in yard this morning, and I was an absolute wreck trying to find her. I saw a police officer on E. Greenwich Ave. and stop to ask if he had seen a white dog in the area. The police officer was extremely kind and caring. He informed me that she had already been picked up and was at West Warwick animal shelter. I immediately drove over there and when I walked in, I met a young man named Paul. Paul was absolutely AMAZING! I can't thank him enough for the concern and kindness he showed me. The shelter was clean and the few fur babies that were under their care looked comfortable and well taken care of. I gladly give this 5 STARS!!!!!!!!! Thank you for taking such good care of my baby. I am very grateful and especially, to Paul.

We completed an application online and left a payment. One of our close friends was then contacted as a reference. Next thing I knew we had a home visit scheduled which turned into Spike's first night at our home and a member of our family. It was an easy process and we have a kitten that is very easy going and great with our kids (but not so great with our shower curtain but that's just catnanigans!)

They took my bengal cat and her kittens because they were illegal they cold not release them to me…read more The lady told me that a situation like this had happened before, in that case they had to release the bengal cat to someone in Connecticut because bengal cats are legal there. I told them I have a friend willing to take my cats in Connecticut. She said the cats will have to go through adoption. I went to check on my cats today and she told me she already adopted them. I told her the cats means everything to me. I expressed that I bought the cat right after a hard time in my life and my cat was there to comfort me and gave me emotional support. I asked the lady "I thought you was going to help me get my cat adopted to a friend so I can at least visit her in Connecticut ".The lady then started being a "Karen" and told me "well I don't really care, all you need to know is that there are in a good home. And just because ur friend put an application in that doesn't mean they were goin to get pick for adoption." She then preceded to tell me I don't seem fit to care for a cat anyways. I had done nothing but gave my cat the best life she could possible have. Now I can never see my cat who I had raised since she was 4 weeks, she is now 9months. She is not just a cat to me, her name is Malu, she's a sweet bengal cat and very shy. I treat her like she's my daughter, she is very spoiled and well cared for. The lady is pure evil and has no heart or compassion. Fooled me in thinking I would see my cats again then goes and get them adopted behind my back. To the people that adopted my cat please reach out to me. I am Malu's father, I have no way in contacting you this is my desperate attempt to see my cat again. Please reach out my email is goldmindkeo@gmail.com. Thank you for reading my story I will not be silenced exposing you guys and ur evils

My experience with Help Save One was wonderful, and I simply could not be happier!…read more Within one week of submitting my application (and the required $25 deposit which goes toward your total adoption fee if you are approved), I picked up my black lab/collie mix, Mazie! Although communication was slow at first, with a little persistence and patience I was able to get all of the information I needed from Pam and Marissa and overall it was a great experience. It also seems that Mazie was fostered in a really great home. Although only 8 weeks, she sleeps through the night and is completely comfortable in her kennel. She has an absolutely wonderful temperament and is a great addition to our family! I was a little worried about the lack of communication in the beginning, especially after doing a little research and reading a few Yelp reviews, but in the end I was very pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend Help Save One. Like a few others have said, these women work very hard to save and protect these dogs...hang in there and they will get you a great pup!

I, too, was promised paperwork to show to the vet when she needed to go for her checkups. I, too, never saw any such paperwork even though I'd written several times and was promised they'd be emailed. I'd offered to foster because I used to be an animal control offer and missed it terribly. I wanted to help animals, in some way, and thought this would be perfect. I should have done my homework. ALL the complaints on ALL the sites are completely true, in my experience. Marissa doesn't care what animal she places, with who, as long as she gets her money and has a home she can put them in. It's appalling, really. All you have to do is say the right things on your application. They meet you somewhere in their transit, to pick up the dogs. They never actually see where the dogs are going. I met them, at 4am, on a Friday night about 45 minutes from my house because they'd called to tell me a transit was coming around 10pm. Okay, that was fine. I'd been warning it might be spur of the moment. The transit was late, but they kept in touch over the phone. When they finally showed, they had crates of dogs stacked into a U-Haul van and dragged this scared, feces and urine covered puppy out and handed her, to me, then left before I could even ask about paper work. My husband and I got the terrified puppy home, bathed and sleeping in my lap after 5am. I forgot to mention...I was told I'd be getting a 10 week old pug mix. I got a 16 week old Shepard/Rotti mix. No huge deal, for me, but I can see how it would be fore someone who wasn't keen on either of those breeds. I waited a week without hearing one word as to how the puppy was, so I called my local contact. I asked, what now? She asked, what do you mean? I mean, what now? What do I do? Take her to the vet? I'll need paperwork. The woman had no clue. She said she'd get back to me. A few more weeks past with no word, even though I'd been sending email updates along with pictures. This went on from June until August. My puppy was still not posted to the site, so I called to inquire as to why. I was told that transit was a fiasco and they had no clue which puppy went to whom. I gave her the collar ID number of mine. She seemed so surprised I'd kept it. I managed an entire shelter, so 1 collar was no big deal. Now, they knew which dog it was, or so I thought. I again, sent updates, with pics and again, nothing on the site. One day, I was looking around and I saw, my puppy, listed as an entirely different dog! My update with some small breeds picture. Right then, I knew. These people just send out dogs. Now, I was mad, so I made some phone calls to see about the legalities of what they were doing. What I found curled my hair. They are NOT allowed to transport out of state without paperwork, in hand, and transfer that paperwork to the foster. I called the county in North Carolina where they say they get the dogs, on their site. I spoke to a lovely woman for about an hour, about them. She has a stack of complaints. They are trying to get them shut down but they stay just outside of radar to really do anything that can be proven. She said that they have several friends working in the 2 shelters that pluck dogs off the gassing line and fill out the paper work that they have been gassed. These dogs are then housed in several places until the transit picks them up. THAT'S what they're calling the dog's quarantine period. They've had no vet care, or shots, because they're not technically alive. NONE of the dogs are temperament tested before they get placed in homes. How can they be? They go from one kennel to another cage then thrown in another cage, to a truck, then driven for hundreds of miles and dumped off for someone else to worry about. I could go on and on and none positive. No, I lied. One thing positive did come out of this. I am now the proud owner of a beautiful dog. She's probably the most well mannered dog I've ever owned. But, I think, she and I were very lucky I had the background to handle her. These people are very good in throwing up contracts when WE complain about something to do with the dogs, but try to turn the tables and you'll be blatantly ignore, or screamed to, in email. All animals are in shelters for a reason. Yes, it could simply be the previous owner wasn't aware of the responsibility, but it can also be because the animal has some underlying agression issues. Do we really want to find out at our family's safety? If you'd like to file a complaint with North Carolina please feel free to message me, and I will give you the email address of the woman I spoke to. Every complaint helps. Yes, it's wonderful to save an animals life. It is NOT okay to put human safety about that.

We ended up at American Goldendoodle after watching a co-workers goldendoodles and falling in love with them. My sister-in-law also has a goldendoodle from American Goldendoodle and we thought that she got lucky with a one-in-million pup. Once we figured out that her pup was also from American Goldendoodle--we knew it was NOT a coincidence that all of pups we knew from Denise/American Goldendoodle had one-in-a-million personalities. It was then we knew we had to go there & I called Denise. These pups are just truly the happiest pups, eager to learn, eager to please and ready to LOVE endlessly. Denise makes the entire process easy and stress-FREE with flexible availability & plenty of options for pups. If you want a pup that will love you endlessly & a positive, memorable dog buying experience--you have to go to American Goldendoodle. I promise, you won't regret it. Thank you so much, Denise! Once little Scout is fully trained, we will be back to get her a sibling! :)
