Over the years she and I went on many hikes together. She was always by my side. So very loyal. We added our Sons dog, a Shepsky, also adopted from Coppers Dream, to our family, as he was always traveling. Those two dogs spent many years together, always protective of me and of each other on our many hikes. I would periodically send in photos to CD, and always had a friendly reply. Almost like a family. One morning, up in ALanden Quicksilver Park, going up a steep narrow trail, they suddenly half turned and let rip with ferocious barks. A cougar came racing down the hill, I guess it wanted us for breakfast. Nope. Their utter ferocity in their barking and stance was one obstacle. The second was Bear Spray. That cougar decided quickly that this would not be a good way to start the day. Those two adopted dogs were Loyal, lovable, Protective, Goofy. Play ball? You bet. They loved swimming, exploring and making friends. My lab lived until she was 15. Our Shepsky passed a year or so before. Coppers Dream has always been professional, friendly and easy to approach. Now, I'm back looking for one more dog. Our young, female GSD is lonely without her big sister and big brother..

Checked around at various shelters, where many required certain amount of hours to dedicate. Being that I still work, I couldn't accommodate that. Found Homeless Cat Network based on the work they do. It's a multi-volunteer organization. There is a trail along the SF Bay, where people have dumped their cats, and has become a feral cat community. During my walks along the trail, I saw signs posted explaining the status of those cat. They are fed by volunteers and captured spayed/neutered and released back. I decided to contact HCN and ask if I could volunteer once a month? They said yes, and if I could work in the socialization center? This is where the feral cats who've become too social are at risk and have the potential of being adopted to their fur-ever homes. I've meet so many kind hearts that just love cats and doing the right thing. Made friends out of the shelter. Fallen in love with MANY cats. It's heartwarming to find out someone wants to adopt them. The other part of HCN is the kitten camp. There is another group of volunteers that help raise kittens in their home or at the shelter. Right now they are all at homes. After reading some reviews about HCN, I read some unhappy potential adoption stories. I'm very sorry you had an unpleasant experience. It is true, our organization used to be very strict for some reason? Don't ask me why? I'm not part of the decision making. It has changed tremendously this past year. We used to have 18 cats at the shelter, in the past few months, we are now down to 7 cats! Shelter-in-place opened the door for so many adoptions. What makes our kitties different is, they weren't house cats, they used to live in the wild. They do have a lot of love and some become very spoiled pillow cats. They grow to love the pampered life. Not all the cats on the website are listed, because we are still working on their socialization skills. Please inquire and see what'll happen? All my favorite kitties that I bonded with, tend to get adopted. I miss them, then another new cat comes along and steals my heart. It's great.

When I doubled back months after adoption with the female volunteer about PJ's awful demeanor, she commented that he has anger issues towards women and had to cut him off herself months prior. We did not receive any medical records for our cats including any microchip information. We were never told that one of our cats was extremely sick with respiratory issues when Fuzzy Butt Rescue first obtained them (I found this out 1.5 yrs into ownership after issues had already arose). We were never told that male, neutered cats are prone to urinary tract infections or we would have adopted female cats; I am a solo mom with 100% of everything for my child so my plate is full as is. We were never told that a key piece of healthy lifestyle for male, neutered cats in preventing UTIs is room to run around before my 10-yo son and I brought them home to our 700 sq ft condo. When confronted with health issues with our pets, PJ refused to make any effort to help us get them care. He was insulting and called me "cheap" for not being willing to spend thousands of dollars on testing despite that I took our cat to 2 emergency clinic visits after working hours the first of which was around midnight before a big job I had booked for the next day. He said he would take them back vs actually helping us to resolve the issue. Our cat's UTI was resolved with a $10 homeopathic product on Amazon that has over 10K reviews and a 4.4 star rating. He called that product "a hoax" but it worked in ONE day once I had time to stay home with the cat and treat him. PJ insulted me for even thinking of trying the homeopathic product vs agreeing to thousands of dollars of testing as a first resort. This guy is the absolute worst. If you want a pleasant and professional pet adoption process, go somewhere that has built a documented reputation in that vein which provides the necessary medical history on adoption (I wasn't aware there was any or I would have asked!). It's March 2023 and I'm looking at our cat's 9 page vet record now in after we got them in Feb 2021 and am shaking my head. This cat has major health problems. I had 2 cats as a child for almost 20 yrs with none of these issues. My son was crying in his sleep last night with a nightmare about losing our cat. Screw you and your judgment and negligence, PJ.

We wandered in and tried to get a kitten here. After a few days I asked when we could come pick up the cat. Ashley Ascencio and PJ McKovsky responded with rude/angry/mansplaining/outright mean emails, saying we couldn't have the cat because we'd let him go outside. Could do without the cat shaming lecture, it's not an effective way to educate people. Nasty email: "If you're next step is to go buy an animal instead of self reflecting then that speaks highly of you. We feel even more solid in our decision. Please explain to your child you do not value the lives and well being of your animals and I think he'll understand our decision too." Bad experience at this place, Avoid unless you want to deal with mean people. I also agree that they are withholding the medical history of the cats. My husband thought the cat seemed sick. I thought he was just bored and depressed in the cage, but I saw later on the facebook page that this bunch of cats all had extensive medical issues. No one informed me of that at all when we filled out the paperwork on him.

Rick walked my 5 month old Great Dane puppy for one week. On the third session Raven came back with a really bad limp. The following day the limp was still happening and after a Vet visit and x-ray there was fracturing all down my pup's smallest toe in her front left paw. When Rick did the drop off he said he noticed the limp and wasn't really sure what happened (probably just a tumble with another dog?). And then afterwards he said he saw her go down with a dog and come back up limping. I can't say whether or not this is really accurate, and from the vague sounds of it, neither can he. I lost my trust in having Rick walk my dog and hope to at least provide a cautionary tale if anyone else uses Rick in the future. Reality is that I entrusted the care of my dog to a stranger and now my dog is out of walking commission at a formidable time her in life, with a large vet bill, lack of ability to socialize with other dogs, and even higher time commitment on my part. Despite good communication through logistical parts of his service and seemingly easy-going approach to dog walking, if I were to do it again I would not have had Rick walk my puppy and had a more discerning approach to who I entrust her care to.

She did mention that she moved out to Patterson instead of breeding in Sunnyvale. However, she was very flexible and accommodating so we FaceTime to see the puppies a week before I came to pick up Georgi. I was impressed with how clean the house was especially for housing many dogs. I was mention that the puppies come home crate trained. For the most part they are because they're so accustomed to sleeping in the crate and we didn't have any problems with her crying and such. She's potty pad trained but did have a little accidents here and there. I mean they're still babies, totally expected and understandable. Georgi is one of the best things. She's extremely cuddly and friendly. She loves everything that moves. She was a bit wild for the first few months but that's with any kids, that have energy. One of the best thing is that she's neither submissive or dominant. I've had my friends dogs try to dominate her and all she does is walk away and then she will return and attempt to play while sharing her toys. She loves loves to swim! Isn't afraid of loud noises because we took her out on July 4th to see fireworks. I'm obsessed with her and her little quirks. I'll attach ph Catherine, thank you for breeding incredibly friendly, easy to train, shed-free and loving dogs. Seriously one of the highest quality both cuteness and temperament.
