No follow-up ghost call after call, no response for over a week! Do they care about placing the pets, or is your personal information just floating out there with no response? Makes you wonder if they are a legitimate business. They need to do better! Thank you for responding. For clarity, I was never notified of any decline, background check issue, or status update. If your organization made such a determination, it was not communicated to me in any form. I was contacted directly by a coordinator from your rescue, who requested my vet information and photos of my home, which I provided. I also have documented text threads confirming communication from your team. My review was strictly about lack of follow-up and inconsistent communication. A simple message with an update--whatever the decision--would have resolved the matter. I hope future applicants receive clearer and more timely communication so they aren't left without information after providing personal details.

READ BEFORE CONSIDERING TO ADOPT A PUPPY!…read more Home At Last Dog Rescue spayed my Heeler/Golden Retriever mix at just 10 weeks old--well before the age recommended for large breed dogs. I adopted her at 11 weeks and only learned she had already been sterilized when a volunteer casually said as I was leaving, "Keep an eye on her incision. She was spayed Thursday." As a result, she now suffers from urinary incontinence, leaking urine while sleeping, requiring lifelong medication, repeat diagnostics, and possibly surgery. This is not an unpredictable outcome--it's a well-documented risk of early spaying in large breeds. Each puppy's profile under one year old should clearly state that the dog will be spayed or neutered before adoption. That simple line might alert someone that the procedure is happening far too early--and give them pause to consider the lifelong hormonal complications they could be inheriting. Had I seen that information, I may have realized what I was walking into. Had I not spent time with the puppies on adoption day--snuggling with her and her siblings, watching them play, and identifying my lifelong best friend--I would NEVER have adopted a puppy spayed this early. You shouldn't either. The incontinence doesn't become apparent until you finally realize that this puppy is trying so hard to be housebroken but just can't make it for the normal length of time between potty runs. There were eight puppies in this litter. Eight puppies all spayed or neutered too soon. Buried deep on their website is this statement: "To help reduce the number of unwanted animals, our dogs are sterilized prior to adoption unless there is a medical reason that this surgery can't be done at this time." There is a medical reason--recognized by veterinary associations--not to spay large breed puppies at such an early age. The AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) recommends delaying spay/neuter for large-breed dogs until 12-18 months of age to reduce orthopedic risks and hormonal complications. My dog is a Heeler/Golden Retriever mix, and she now lives with the consequences of their "one size fits all" protocol. A puppy needs the hormones allowed by delayed spaying to support normal development of their bones, joints, and urinary system--removing them too early can disrupt these processes and lead to long-term complications. Home At Last Dog Rescue claims to carefully vet their adopters. If they trust these individuals enough to adopt a dog, why not require a signed contract to ensure spay/neuter at the medically appropriate age? When I adopted my previous golden retriever at 7 weeks old, I gladly signed such a contract. It's a responsible, balanced approach--and one this rescue refuses to consider. In their response to me, the rescue stated: "We've adopted out nearly 25,000 dogs over 15 years--roughly half of them puppies--and have always followed pediatric spay/neuter protocols with the support of 19 veterinary offices, without similar reports or documented patterns of complications related to urinary incontinence or long-term hormonal issues." I have her medical records and offered to submit them, but they never asked for them--so my dog becomes yet another 'undocumented complication.' Adopting from this group isn't inexpensive. I paid $550, and they required another $200 donation as a "benefactor" for another dog's medical care. Yet when my own dog's complications became clear, there was no support, no refund, no shared concern--only a blanket policy stating they don't assist adopters with medical care after the adoption. While I don't believe this rescue intentionally hands off dogs with medical issues, their protocol--despite being supported by some vets--carries known risks. My own vet, and many others, do not support pediatric sterilization in large breeds. This wasn't disclosed, discussed, or even acknowledged as a possibility. Think very carefully before supporting this group. Ask hard questions. You will find that once you sign the adoption papers, you--and the dog--are on your own.

Was ultimately told I could not adopt because I do not have a fenced yard. This in spite of living across from a walking trail which I informed them I would use four times a day. Have since adopted from another organization and met multiple owners who adopted from HAL, none of whom had fenced yards. Have also met multiple dog owners who were denied adoption from HAL. Common theme, all those denied adoption were 60+, all those who were allowed adoption were under 50. So.....HAL discriminates based on age.

The treatment, respect and caring that was afforded to me far surpassed most of the experiences that I had encountered over the years at various Vet offices.

Prior to that we were waiting at a neighbor's house for cops to come watching the property owner illegally entering our RV and taking our stuff. As soon as cops got there he was all being a goody goody and did nothing but talk about us and lying about us the whole time. Then we left , stopped at CVS because I had an asthma attack. My honey called 911. They took me to Doylestown for a breathing treatment. I know after all we had just been through we both looked bad. We hadn't slept much and we took care of our baby girl feeding her, letting her drink out of her steel fountain. She loved it. Gave her her medications. Doylestown treated me like a fungus or something and kept refusing to let me leave without blood tests. I told them I had just had them done the week before. But they kept insisting. I told them to let me out because my honey and my kitty were waiting out in the pkg lot for me. Finally they let me out. They thru some mans cadaver suit on me and rolled me down to the lobby to wait . After I got picked up by my honeys mother and him he told me what happened. After. The ambulance took me. Cops showed up on scene, gave my disheveled looking honey who was a senior with a bad hip a field test. Then booked him for DUI. We don't drink! Neither one of us drink alcohol. Then an officer from spca showed up and took my baby stating she looked dehydrated and underweight and hair was falling out. They decided to take us to court for neglect. WE NEVER NEGLECTED OUR BABY AND I HAVE PROOF OF ALL THAT. She was my child . I kept all her bedding clean, everywhere she went I kept clean. Whenever she went in the box one time I cleaned it out. I put cocoa nut oil lightly on her skin to soothe it before that I used kitty wipes for her body and special wipes for her ears . Changed all her dishes and fountain to stainless steel and whenever she ate I cleaned them. Daddy made special tshirts for her to wear to keep her from clawing at her skin. I bought a warming pad for her bed and changed her bedding every nite. Before Daddy put her shirt on every nite he lightly brushed her because she was a long hair tuxedo. She was the runt of the litter so she was very small anyways. There's a part two.
