Everyone was so supportive of our decision. Since that time, my husband and I have begun volunteering at the shelter and have gained a much greater appreciation for what they do there. The staff and all the volunteers are completely committed to helping every animal find their forever home. The facility is a 5 acre open air pens for the dogs and a free roaming building for the cats. This shelter is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which is run entirely by donations.

After my niece lost her Klee Kai last year, we started regularly visiting the Humane Society. We…read moredidn't adopt, but we enjoyed spending time with the animals and it was like therapy for my niece. Finally, a few months ago, we found Bonnie. My niece loved her. Her boyfriend and I picked Bonnie up as a surprise and she was thrilled. Unfortunately, it turned out Bonnie needed to be the only dog in a home. She's okay meeting other dogs but after spending too much time with them, she gets a little aggressive. Our family has many dogs of all sizes and we are a close family, so it was not going to work out. My niece did not want to send Bonnie back to living in a kennel, so she talked to a good friend of hers and introduced him to Bonnie. It was a perfect match--he has no other pets, and she adored him right away. They went to the Humane Society and transferred ownership. She kept visiting the dogs and finally a litter of Shih-Tzu c Basenji pups came in. She found herself a new partner in crime and is happier than I've seen her in a while. Her boyfriend's dog, Waffles (also from the Humane Society), has just about adopted the new baby, Lilo, as her own. She looks out for her, keeps the out family's other dogs away from her, has actually nudged her into a kennel and shut the door when they wouldn't stop bothering her, and even let her back out of her kennel in the middle of the night! The folks here at our Humane Society are so great, and they work so hard to make sure all of the dogs brought to them feel loved until they're adopted.

We regularly…read morestay in a dog friendly Airbnb every December and the owner was happy for a shelter dog to be pampered at her place. I completed the foster application online a couple of weeks before our trip, the adoption manager immediately called me and reviewed which dogs might be a good fit, and once in Ukiah we went to the shelter & were introduced to 2 senior male dogs (Sully and Kimber). We decided to do a short term foster with Kimber who was easier to walk and knew a few commands. The manager provided us plenty of food & treats along with emergency instructions, and the Airbnb owner had already provided dog beds & bowls (otherwise I am sure the shelter could have loaned them). Kimber was a very chill dog and we would definitely do another short term foster during our next trip. Recommended for adoption, lots of sweet animals like Kimber looking for a home. Update 1/13/26: the Airbnb owner adopted Kimber after we introduced them to each other!

There was no cost to us for the surgey Some of the animals Blythe takes in are at the end of the road- injured, disabled, recovering from trauma or illness. Most folks don't have the patience or time to save an animal in dire straits. It's admirable, to say the least. These Karens complaining about smelling pee or getting feelings hurt by staff are just being petty, trying to discredit these folks doing good work. Find something more productive to do. Blythe and crew are doing a tremendous job.

To anyone complaining or reading complain to here about smell or presentation, this is not a puppy farm or puppy mill this is a place in which animals are brought to be helped and saved. I read someone complaining about the smell, of course neglected dogs and cats who are being saved are going to have a smell. Here is a perfect example. I was speaking with Blythe and she tells me she's gonna have to call me back. I contact her the next day and find out that someone had randomly left five dogs somewhere while moving. She stopped everything she was doing to prioritize, saving those dogs so of course when she went to get them, it was not like she was picking them up from the groomers, but the exact opposite and yes they smelled obviously it's not her fault the dogs were left in that state, she did everything she could to get them healthy get their shots up to date and to make sure to find suitable homes. When I first read the negative review, I was skeptical and i was being very critical. Don't believe everything you read here keep in mind. There is a bunch of people trying to sell puppies vs save them.

My dog Cherly was a homeless hound from Oklahoma who lived at the Big Dog Rescue for a year and a half of her life. Cheryl saved my girl and gave her a chance even though no one wanted her as she was one of their long term residents. This peaceful palace is a fully fenced sanctuary. Cheryl (the owner) and staff has put so much love and care into her passions. They dogs she's rehabilitated, the care they receive, they support they get. You have to be one lucky pup to be at the Big Dog. My dog loves coming back to the Big Dog for visits. She's super excited and happy. Cheryl wants to make sure her dogs are going to the home that is the perfect match. She will carefully screen as every rescue should do. I've read some of the 1 star reviews on here. And Cheryl is right, dogs are not ment to spend hours outside. What if it's hot? She is correct and has every right to be concerned where her dogs are placed. If you are not a good fit of she is not comfortable with your household, then I'm sure there is another match out there waiting for you to save them.

We have been thinking about adopting a dog for a long time. When we thought we were ready, we…read morelooked online and found a dog we liked. He was listed as available at Big Dog Rescue. I filled up the application and I received a one-liner response: "he is gone". I asked for a different dog and the answer was "gone too". I believe my application was a disaster, because I had no clue of what you are supposed to do with a dog and I wrote what I thought we would do. After researching the topic, I can see why they would not consider us for adoption with that application ;-) However, I wrote back asking to speak with them to understand why they did not spend more than a second to reply (I was looking for some suggestions on if we are ok to adopt or if we should not even bother). They never answered. I guess they are great with dogs but have a problem with humans.

Unfortunately, my recent experience with front office policies and interactions has led me to transfer my pets to another veterinary hospital in Willits. While many of the reception staff are friendly and helpful, I encountered communication that felt inflexible and lacking in empathy, particularly regarding appointment policies. I understand that clinics need policies in place, but long-term clients also value being treated with a degree of understanding and respect. It's disappointing to leave after so many years, especially because the veterinarians provide such good care. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as the quality of veterinary care deserves to be matched by the overall client experience.

She…read moreworks with most of the other local shelters/rescues in the area to save small dogs of all ages and conditions....as she has space available. I have known Odessa for years and have so much respect for her incredible personal commitment to dog rescue. Most of the dogs 'roam' freely in her house, learning to get along with other dogs and with people. Puppies (and moms) stay in the puppy palace (a charmingly converted and furnished garage space). Rescuing and adopting dogs is very hard and very expensive work, since many dogs who were neglected or abused require a lot of love, medical care, and training. Please take any 'negative' reviews with a big grain of salt. All of us who have to deal with the public understand how unreasonable and uncharitable some people can be. This is a truly extraordinary woman who makes great sacrifices to rescue and place dogs in the best possible homes. It's an uphill battle with so many people allowing their dogs to breed and dumping them on rescue. And with some adopters/lookers who can be disrespectful of the process around placing dogs. Very few of us could do this work day in and day out with no reward other than seeing dogs go to the right guardians. Thank you to everyone who supports and adopts from rescue, saves lives, and appreciates those doing the really hard work. And please consider fostering a little dog if you can. It's a rewarding experience being part of the pipeline to forever homes.
