VERY DISAPPOINTED - Adopted a dog that was supposed to be healthy but we brought him home and he…read moreinfected my other dog! NO ONE answers the phone and NO ONE replies to voicemails!!!! I will NEVER donate to them or adopt from them again. EDIT 5/21/26 - they have since gotten back to us so for that I am adjusting my review from 1 star to 3 stars. I do understand that much of the staffing is done on a volunteer basis but they ought to be more careful. They did send an email with 10 attachments. One explained that you should keep your animals separated until the new one is checked out... seems odd since they encourage them to meet on adoption day but whatever... I wish them the best going forward.

It was easy to reserve a kitten to be born within a few weeks and available for adoption in October. Part of the fun of working with this breeder were her three beautiful daughters who helped socialize the kittens. Oh, my! Those kittens are loved and petted and handled constantly! We chose our little girl - Kali - and couldn't be happier. She's a doll. Very funny and very opinionated!

I had received videos and photos since I reached out in September and the process was so easy. You can tell she puts a lot of love and passion into all her kittens. Through the few minor problems (kitten diarrhea, clean ups, etc...) Elena was there to answer my questions and give advice. Would highly recommend, but I don't know if they can get much better than Murphy I can't share enough photos of her

Adopted my newest addition to the family, Ivy, from Protectors of Animals back in late August…read more(apologies for such a late review as I've been meaning to do one!). The staff at this location are super friendly and knowledgeable of their adoptable pets. I also appreciated the fact that kittens go home to foster families until they are adopted and are only at the East Hartford location on Saturdays by appointment only. Ivy's foster family even provided the most adorable card, heartfelt note, and Ivy's favorite toys to bring with her new home. I rave about this place to family, friends, and coworkers anytime they ask about Ivy. I strongly recommend anyone who is ready to take on the next step of adopting a new member of their family to do so with Protectors of Animals!

The dogs there did not seem like they were having a great time or experience. Customer support is horrible, and they clearly have no idea what's going on.

Should be named the "Cheshire dog store"…read more I was heading toward Cheshire to run some errands. I was low on cat food of a specific brand (Fromm). There are several good animal feed stores in the area, so I searched for one that stocked a specific brand of dry cat food: Fromm. I found this store online, checked it out, and saw that their website showed that they stocked Fromm dry cat food. The online photo, which is a stock photo that can be found on Fromm's website, shows seven varieties. I stopped at the store when I got to Cheshire. Aside from a quick greeting when I entered the store, I didn't have any interaction with the staff during my visit. The section dedicated to dogs was large, varied and comprehensive. I had some trouble finding the cat section. I went in search of Fromm brand dry cat food and finally found a single large bag and three smaller bags on a table. They were not the variety or size that I was looking for. I decided to leave. Their dog supplies are fairly good, but the forty mile commute to Cheshire Cat and Dog is a little long. I am heading to the local Agway to stock up on Fromm dry food for cats.

The vet only comes on Tuesdays so I waited and was told she was not cleared to come home. This happened three more times, so I had paid for a puppy but didn't get to bring her home for an entire month. She was finally cleared by their vet so I brought her home. She was still coughing. After a week I called my own vet who was able to see her quickly. They said she had pneumonia and I needed to bring her to the Emergency Vet right away. The ER vet told me if I hadn't brought her in she would have likely died. I know someone else who adopted a puppy from them and their puppy also had kennel cough which ended up with pneumonia. In my opinion Save All Dogs rescue is nothing but a puppy mill. They charge an exorbitant fee for puppies that aren't spayed/neutered or even healthy. They just want your money and have vets that will sign off saying the pups are healthy when in fact they are not. If you are going to get a puppy please do not go here. It'll end up costing you thousands in addition to the adoption fee. Go to a local shelter or legitimate rescue that adopts healthy puppies.

Santa was awesome, and I must say, he is the most authentic looking Kris Kringle I've seen in a very long time.

We'll definitely be back next year if they are having Photos with Santa again.

We adopted Bimbi 2 days ago. We were told he was great with people, children, cats and dogs-a…read morefriend to all. He was a stray from NC. We were told he did great in his foster home. We took him home, played in the yard, took him for a nice long walk. When dinner time came, he was ravenous and just about inhaled his food. He also tried to get our food. The next day, after he ate and his bowl was empty and he had walked away from it, my husband went to pick up the bowl and he growled and lunged at him and bit his hand. A half hour later, he took him outside to pee and was coming back in through the garage and Bimbi tried to grab a bag of bird seed. When my husband tried to push it away with his foot, he clamped down hard on his foot. It was a good thing he had shoes on! We contacted Dog Star and told them we wanted to bring him back that day. The woman tried to make us feel guilty, saying he just hasn't settled into his new home yet. He was great with the foster home. We told her he has food aggression, and she said he was merely food motivated. She said the foster home crated him during their mealtime. We weren't told this before the adoption and if we had been told it would have been a big red flag. We said we were uncomfortable having him in our house and afraid of him. She said the surrender team would reach out to us, but they are all volunteers and it could take 1-2 weeks! We said we wanted to bring him in that day. They finally called and said to bring him in at 5:30 and someone would meet us there. We signed him back over to them and left. 2 days later, he is back out on the website as an adoptable dog who is a friend to all! Steer clear and don't trust what you are told about the dogs. We have been dog owners for 30 years and never had anything like this happen. It makes me sick to think what could happen to another dog, child, cat or person who comes near his food, or is eating food in his presence!
