Beyond grateful for this amazing Sanctuary started by Isabell. Her devotion and love for all of these special animals is truly inspiring I happened to come across her website after searching for a new cat or kitten for quite a long time. Then I saw Sidney's little face and fell in love. When I arrived to meet her my heart fell again for her Sister, London. They are two of the sweetest little Souls. We have 2 older dogs and after 3 weeks... they are finally comfortable and playing now. Thank you Isabell read more

I called several kitten/cat animal sanctuaries, Paw Parent was the only one to call me back. I was blessed they just had an adoption and the room for the cats would be ready in 3 days. The mom was a stray, she had 4 kittens in a neighbor's garage. I brought all 5 to my home and kept them until the time came to bring them to Paw Parent in West Lancaster. I come to visit them every Monday. The cats are now spayed and ready for adoption. The owner and her help work so hard keeping all of the dogs and cats feed and happy. They need volunteers to keep the work load down. They really care about these animals. So sad very few people will adopt a BIG DOG. read more

I recently met with Isabell and while I did not find my doggie soulmate (yet) Isabell is a caring, conscientious person providing love and care to many dogs, both adoptable and others who will remain in sanctuary. Despite no dog for me currently, I donated to help offset the costs (which must be considerable.) Regarding 1 star reviews because their pets were turned away, please understand this is a necessity for a rescue at capacity. Ensuring there is enough food, medical care, beds, shelter and human contact is the responsible choice. It's the difference between a sanctuary and accidental hoarding. read more

I adopted my Sophie from them almost a year ago. They are a wonderful rescue and do a fantastic job caring for all the animals. I would definitely adopt from them again. read more

The people at Paw Parent are fantastic. Isabell (and her sister) are very sweet, giving people. If you don't have room in your home to adopt some of their beautiful cats and dogs, please thinking about monetary donations and giving them and pet supply to help save more lives. Check out their adoption list, they have a lot of beauties! http://www.pawparent.org/for-adoption.htm read more

If I can leave no stars I would definitely do so... I am out of a living situation and have to move in with my parents and the house owner doesn't allow pets. As i wish to not bring my dog to any shelter I have no choice but I want to bring him somewhere where I know he'll be safe. As I called to speak to someone it went to voicemail, as I was leaving a message someone picks up and says they have no space. I get super sad because I can't find any other rescue shelters to take him in. The lady goes on to asking me why can't you just find a place that allows pets? I reply with I'm moving in with my parents. Then she goes on about how he'll be safer with me and somewhat saying what I am doing isn't right. Point is, is that she came off very disrespectful and my living situation isn't any of her concern. Obviously I care enough to make sure where I am bringing him to and that he is taken care of. I love my dog, I want to keep him but life happens and sometimes you have to do things you don't want to. I didn't know bringing a animal to a rescue center was me doing the wrong thing ‍ read more

I found my chihuahua mix here at this sanctuary. I found the kennels and all around areas clean and all the animals are loved, fed and healthy. Isabell was wonderful showing me around and I can see her and the other folks there truly love their fur babies. Isabell is a pleasant woman but not a pushover. She cares where her rescues go and you will be asked questions and you will fill out paperwork and she will do a home inspection. And, that's what she should do! She truly wants to make sure her babies are going to be loved and cared for for the remainder of their lives. I am happy, my chi/mix is happy and Isabell and I both parted ways feeling good about the adoption. If you want to adopt, this is one rescue to check out. Even if you are not interested at this time, any donation helps toward the care and comfort of the pets that don't have a permanent home. read more

Full disclosure: I work closely with this organization, but there's a reason I do. I think it's a wonderful idea. When people can no longer take care of their pets, for physical reasons such as old age or illness, Paw Parent will take in the animal, or try to find him/her a new home. The animal wins out and so does the person who has provided love and care for so many years. What could be better? Please support Paw Parent, either by donating directly or by using Good Search for your web searches. And visit their site to learn all about the good deeds they're doing! read more

This is a GREAT organization. Isabell does INCREDIBLE work with rescued animals. If you are looking in adopting a rescued animal I highly suggest you adopt from this group. I personally know of Fernando, a dog Isabell rescued from the streets of Los Angeles. She saw to his extensive medical needs and then found him a wonderful home! This is one of the groups that I regularly make donations to. They are the real deal. read more

Paw Parent is one of the best organizations out there - they are relatively small (approx. 20 pets). Many of their pets are seniors who might otherwise have ended up in kill shelters if not for Isabel Csaki. Thanks to her generosity and love of animals, they are able to live out their golden years in comfort and in a nurturing and truly caring environment. If you can contribute to any animal rescue group, please consider Paw Parent. They are grateful for whatever you can do. read more

Thank you Isabelle for your passion for the creatures and for saving Kahana. Much love!!!!

Very shady and unprofessional business. Beware! They started adoption process, signed contract for two week trial period and ended up breaking the contract realizing that the dog was not healthy. They knew in advance that the mom and brother was unhealthy so decided to test the dog in the middle of our adoption process. Without showing us any proof from Vet, reported that the dog was positive for a parasite and decided to keep the dog. read more
