I wish I could give more than 5 stars!…read more I have been patient in looking to add a kitten/cat to our family and stumbled across Marigold on a fosters Instagram page which prompted me to submit an application. Kat reached out the very next day after reviewing our application and pre approved us. Yelena reached out for all coordination afterwards. Marigold was not even posted on the rescues page but they were so kind and were able to get us in to meet her. The foster mom (and dad) were wonderful and have been doing this for so long (60+ kitties). We instantly fell in love with Marigold and were able to be selected to adopt her (pat on our back for being able to provide a good home). She came from a hoarder home and was lucky to survive from malnutrition. We came back to get her after getting she completed her shots/spayed. Not even 24 hours in, my one year old tabby loves her and she is settling in perfectly. I will say I have had not so great experiences with other rescues in the area and Dirty Little Paws surpassed all expectations! I hope one day I can repay them and foster another baby in need.

This is one of the best nonprofit organizations when it comes to those who need a companion animal…read moreand cannot afford the incredibly high prices of those specially trained through other agencies. This program works in such a way that the dog "belongs" to the organization in the event that for some reason it isn't a good fit for the individual, and they do routine checks to make sure that everything is going well and the dog is being well taken care of. There are some other organizations that have a $10,000 buying for a canine companion, and the dog is thoroughly trained specifically for the individual who will receive it. The dogs in these cases usually belong to the individual that has purchased the canine companion, which is why the oversight offered through this particular organization is something that make this one of the standout organizations of its kind. They follow the family, monitor the progress, make sure its a good fit, and since the dogs have a variety of different skill sets that they can assist with they can help with a multitude of different disabilities and assistance provided to the individual who is chosen to receive the canine companion. I think it's done very responsibly and they do reserve the right to take the dog back if there are soy signs of inability to properly care for it or if there is any indication of neglect or abusive behavior. All of thee dogs are socializad in training, and they all are geared toward a multitude of disabilities, making it one of the most comprehensive canine companion programs I have ever personally seen. I have volunteered with this organization and have known many people who have waited on a years-long list for quite some time to be able to get a canine companion without having to spend thousands of dollars...which is a godsend for those families who live in disability or have low income. This is a wonderful nonprofit organization, and they work very hard to ensure that when they match a canine companion with an individual in need, it is with the appropriate skill sets that can meet the needs of the individuals receiving the canine companion. There is a main office located right here in Oceanside, and I have seen many of their presentations, each make me like the program even more every time I see a presentation on the program. This is beneficial on all levels, and sometimes can provide a much needed friend and provide some solace and companionship for those who might be lonely due to the fact that they have difficulties navigating the nuances and oftentimes confusing landscape of the social world. These canine companions are more than just animals companions...they are truly friends for those individuals who are fortunate enough to be able to qualify for one and not have to wait on a waiting list for long periods of time...although it is hit or miss with these places, depending on supply and demand, whereas with the companies you go through and pay thousands of dollars for a socially trained companion animal, they are yours to have and the company does not retain any kind of ownership over the animal, as tis particular nonprofit organization does. The only drawback is because the program is free, it can sometimes take a very long time for the individual to be paired with a canine companion... depending on how long the waiting list is. All in all, this is one of the most wonderful nonprofits I have ever had the pleasure of being able to connect with and volunteer with, and I truly hope there are more organizations that follow this pattern in the future, as the change in the recipients of these companion animals is discernible. This holds true especially those that do not require thousands of dollars to "buy in" when it comes to finding the perfect companion for your disabled loved one (or any other need for a companion:support animal).

It appears that they have dedicated foster parents who help transition these pups from shelter life to permanent placement in their forever homes. They were very honest with us about the dog we were adopting struggles with timidness and fear. They sent someone to do a home visit and we had to do an initial foster to adopt agreement for 2 weeks. If all worked out fine for both Shelby and our family then we were cleared to adopt. Which we did last Thursday. Shelby has had all her initial shots, was spayed and treated for fleas when we adopted her. All we needed to do was provide the love. Done. I would highly recommend Wagging Dog Rescue to anyone who is considering adopting a new member of their family.
