I have always found the staff here to be helpful, organized, attentive, knowledgeable, and courteous. The staff members are very passionate about animals and it shows. The kennels are clean, the play areas are well-maintained, and the animals are well taken care of. Despite other animal shelters being in the region, I will always recommend this location specifically to people, who are looking to adopt or foster a pet, due to the aforementioned reasons.

The first picture is my Ozzy boy now and the second picture is from our first evening together at a pizza place. His old owners surrendered him for being too destructive but he just needed to be inside and have a chewy treat. I named him Ozzy because he trashed stuff in the past like a rockstar and Ozzy Osbourne had recently passed. With a destructive label on his kennel card and his fear of people-- he was the small dog there the longest. He was shaking and so scared but I wanted to rescue a dog who didn't have much of a chance. Ozzy now knows many tricks, listens well, and is a loyal buddy. We are enjoying our first summer together by going to the dog beach and spending lots of time outside. Thank you to the workers at the Harbor Animal Services for picking out a good boy for me. Your team took good care when nobody else gave a hoot about him. If you're reading this and thinking about getting a new best friend (my 16 year old best buddy Sid died in 2025) please consider adopting a dog who nobody else wants. Ozzy is a superstar now!!!

I still strongly believe in adopting over shopping when it comes to dogs. I wanted to give an…read moreupdate on the dog we adopted from this shelter and how things have been going. He's an amazing cuddle bug who loves pets, car rides, and treats. We're still working on some toy possessiveness, but it has improved immensely from where it started. He's not a danger to anyone and has even been able to play with other dogs in small group settings a few times. We also fostered a dog for a weekend to help with potty training before it went to its new home, and our dog absolutely loved it. Scout has truly been the missing piece we didn't know we needed. He can be a little lazy at times, but he has so much personality packed into his small body. Adopting a shelter animal takes time, patience, and understanding--but time really does heal. Don't let initial behavioral notes or interactions at the shelter deter you from finding your perfect match--your fur friend, soul dog... or cat... or even a critter. We've even created a whole backstory for him, and we genuinely believe adopting him was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He gets so many compliments on how he looks, and he soaks up all the attention he gets from strangers.

Our Teddy that we ended up adopting came in with a broken leg and the rescue paid for all of his vet bills and even after care at a local pet rehab clinic. I recently went through the foster and adoption process with another dog and Jen held my hand the whole time. She has many local resources, and helps with behavioral training as needed. Here is the thing for potential adopters: she has a team of volunteers but she is literally one woman who matches the dogs with their forever homes. She is VERY protective of her dogs and will take dogs back into the rescue if need be. I can see that she tries to keep them local to the South Bay, and if she doesn't respond to you that probably means you aren't the right fit. Many Instagram rescues do this because they don't have the staff or resources to respond to every application all of the time. They need to focus on the rescue dogs. She'll reach out to you if they think it's the right fit. Best wishes, and let's ALL take care of these street and shelter dogs.

From the moment we got involved, it was clear this organization is something special. They are a small but incredibly passionate team that goes above and beyond for every single dog they rescue. We had the joy of fostering Mila, a sweet golden retriever who had been rescued all the way from Turkey. Despite everything she'd been through, she was the most loving and resilient pup--and thanks to Rovers Retreat, she was given a second chance at life. They made sure she had everything she needed to be comfortable in our home: food, medication, toys, and all the support we could ask for. Rovers Retreat was with us every step of the way and made the entire process seamless and fulfilling. We even got to be part of Mila's adoption and meet the incredible family who welcomed her into their hearts forever. What sets this organization apart is their unwavering dedication. They truly care. You can feel the love and effort they pour into every rescue--they'll move mountains to save as many dogs as possible. If you've ever considered fostering or adopting, DO IT--and do it through Rover's Retreat. We're forever grateful to be part of their mission.

I trusted the Bubble Bus Pet Spaw with my dog's first grooming appointment. I stated multiple times…read morethat I wanted to preserve my Labradoodle puppy's natural curl pattern (which is still emerging) and did not want his hair cut. I only requested trimming of the paw pads, the hair in his eyes, and a bit around the elbow area. The groomer even joked that he'd come back looking like a completely different dog. Instead of honoring my instructions, several inches of his coat were removed and his curls were cut off. A clear boundary was crossed, and I was deeply disappointed by the appearance of my dog. I reached out afterward to address the issue, but my text was ignored. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. Update: Thank you for responding, Maria. I'm disappointed that the business chose to blame me rather than acknowledge my clearly stated request not to cut my dog's coat. Several inches of length were removed, there are visible shave marks, and this cannot be attributed to a blowout. I also reached out privately after the appointment and received no reply. I'm sharing this so future customers with curly-coated dogs can ensure their grooming instructions are fully respected

We were not looking for a dog. We live in Las Vegas where it's hot about 7 months of the year. All…read moredogs we've had previously lived outside when we lived in CA and OR. With the same thinking, it would not be fair to have a dog here ......unless of course it lived indoors with us. We were blindsided when our son brought Buffy two years ago. He just showed up, and like "Here!" She followed him everywhere from one end of the house to the other and back and forth. When he left she cried and whimpered. I laid down on the floor with her and she looked at me with soulful brown eyes, pleading, "Please help me!" I cried and hugged her and told her, "I love you!" That was it! She was mine. It took some adjusting to my new mommy role added on top of the other things I do everyday. When it became apparent I was keeping her, I contacted GTTDR and spoke with Marcy. She explained their dogs are never to be taken out of state and that she wanted to send someone to Las Vegas to do a home inspection. Laurie came for the visit and saw how happy Buffy was. I allowed her to take photos and send it to Marcy. Laurie seemed pleased that Buffy had a good home, but was quite prepared to take her back to California if requirements weren't met. Marcy said, "So I hear your home is fabulous......" I was impressed that GTTDR went to such lengths. Thanks to Heather also for rescuing Buffy from a kill shelter. Two years later, we love Buffy more than you can imagine. She is family. She is three now. Though she is my primary responsibility for care, etc. she loves her dad and her grandma who lives with us. She gets three walks a day at three different parks in the area. She has tons of doggy and people friends and she loves to run and chase birds, rabbits and chipmunks. She is the fastest runner at any of the parks. Her vet says she's athletic, referring to her muscle tone. In the beginning she couldn't walk on a leash without pulling. She barked at everyone and every dog even if it were two blocks away. Now, she walks off-leash, listens to commands, understands everything I say, and has helped other dogs come out of their shell. She wants to be friends with all dogs with the exception of one. She looks to me to see if I give the okay to say 'hello' and she wags her tail and goes to the other dog/s. She is the sweetest soul you will ever meet. Everyone loves Buffy. She is good when visitors come and loves attention they give. She has such confidence and isn't shy about gentle pawing to get more rubs. On our walk this morning, she turned back to look at me with such a loving look, my friend asked, "What was that look?" I said, "She loves me!" He said, "That's what it looked like!" I'm happy she's ours. She deserves a good home and all the love she gets. She is secure and happy. Don't buy. Rescue!
