Great staff cute cats-you can't lose!…read more So I've been wanting to come here for a while since I love pets and always seem to go to the Humane Society in Newark to look at them. This is a rather small place; a trailer so to speak with super cute cats of all sizes and ages. When I first walked in, I was greeted by 2 very nice ladies that was extremely helpful and patient while I looked around at all of the cats. They will ask you if you have any pets and if you do- they will ask about their personalities. The one cool thing I liked about this place is that they let the cats walk around and allow you to play with them and hold them to get a feel for your future potential fur baby. They (the ladies) weren't pushy and was genuinely interested in getting to know who would be adopting those cats. One of the ladies even took me next door to show me another cat that might be a great companion for my cat that I have at home. They also have dogs here for adoption as well although very minimal. There is plenty of parking however when you come in drive very slow since there may be cats walking around. Overall, I would recommend adopting from here as you can tell the staff really cares about the pets. Although I didn't adopt today- I could totally see myself coming back as there were a few cats that I really liked.

I have been to and volunteered at several shelters in not only the Tri State Area but in Florida as…read morewell. Never can I say, have I come across a place such as this. What a disappointment. I shall exclude the volunteer staff especially the younger ones who were amazing and so filled with love and ambition. But as for the rest of this rescue where one is supposed to be able to "Adopt"? What a laugh. Every other negative review I have read here on Angel Paws could not be more accurate in their experience. I had/saw the same upon taking my friend to adopt her second "fur-baby" (Is this a term now? I feel just as nuts as the lady running the joint). Long, long, and over dramatically short (which could have been unwarranted mind you). Arriving at opening in the evening, which seemed absurd to me to begin with, walking right in with several other families, we were greeted by lovely volunteers racing around trying to feed every little meow and squeek coming from every known corner of this small facility (I use that word as a kindness). I questioned if this was the first time that day these dear furry angels were seeing people. Most working said the owner did what she could during the day and they came at night, night being 6pm. Speaking of said owner, it was if she was the "man behind the curtain" heard of but never seen. My friend, after holding and bonding with 3 or 4 kittens believed she had found "the one". Filling out an application, as one would do, we were told we would be called within 1-2 days. Great! A week passes, I call and get voicemails, leave messages, never reach a person. She goes back for a second visit. The kitten is still their. She asks. Oh the owner has been terribly busy, but don't worry, this weekend latest, she says. The week and weekend come and go. So finally I go in myself. Because at every shelter and rescue I've worked at, to get one of these sweeties into a forever home? Top priority. And some I worked at went as far as a background check. Never did they take over a week. So yes, I went, I saw, I wanted to or may have not only shed a tear for my friend but also those poor cats and kittens trapped behind that glass window. Without needing to give reason my friend was rejected. Application declined. The owner deemed herself so high and mighty that not even a reason or explanation was given as a kindness. This is only of "those" places. A few bucks shy of the remaining "pet stores" there are. A lovely few from the front, but for the poor babies down in the basement (And oh yes, they are down there ) never seen in thsirnown mess, this "rescue" is a sham. The staff, whom I finally got to speak to me one on one all said the same. High adoption fees, low number of adoptions, abuse of funds, abuse of volunteer offered time, minors included folks. This nightmare of a "holier than thou" owner should have to face the furry jury for her crimes. Crazy cat lady would have been a relief compared to the monster described to me and read about in not only Yelp reviews, but upon further investigation into the community, and just about anyone whom has crossed her path. The same story rings true. Save yourself the time, and your children the tears. Not to mention the absurd $250 adoption fee. Which other than private rescues who strictly foster their litters, I have never seen that "price". There are some amazing rescues and shelters out there with babies and adults just as well deserving of a home. I highly recommend Somerset Animal Rescue in Bridgewater. And depending on your area the ASPCA or Woodbridge/Edison rescue. I just found my own newest addition to our family at Friends of Linden Shelter after a look on Petfinder.com Good luck to you all! Be safe and above all be smart! (Side note: For all who may need to surrender their loved pet for whatever the reason. Do NOT use Craigslist or give them to anyone who "claims" to be some kind of sanctuary that isn't legitimate. There are some mighty bad things and lives of little ones being lost this past year. Like I said. Safe, and smart.)

I'm sorry to have to write this but I had an awful experience at Angel Paws recently and I'd…read moreencourage any one reading this to adopt anywhere other than there, to avoid having an experience similar to mine. My son and I went into Angel Paws looking to adopt a pair of cats and wound up falling for two very sweet siblings who had been at their shelter for about a month. I filled out forms to adopt both of them and when I didn't hear back, returned 3 days later to visit the cats and check on our application. That night, finally , a volunteer called me and we spoke for about 20 minutes, going over the usual stuff, checking to see if I would declaw them, if cats are allowed where I live, what I'd feed them, my experience with animals, etc. and I explained that I've lived with cats all my life have a beautiful pet friendly home they could visit, and would gladly pay the $250 adoption fee for which they asked. I was told I'd hear back the next day as to when I could pick up the cats. A few more days passed, so I visited the cats again and checked on the application. This happened twice and then finally, 8 days after I filled out the initial forms, I received a brief email saying my application, "unfortunately" had been rejected. Don't waste your time here. Angel Paws is run by a crazy cat lady who thinks that no one other than she is qualified to take care of the cats and wants to keep them all for herself. I've raised cats my entire life and I'm unqualified to adopt two of theirs??? It's a shame, since a lot of good people volunteer there. I spoke to a number of them after this happened who told me my experience had been typical, stay away.

The new Dr that took over recommended an injection to bring his appetite back then gave me medication to administer to my cat every 12 hours- that was $157. On top of that, the Dr. recommended blood work and if they checked his poop - the entire visit would've been close to $500. Crazy thing is!!?? That includes none of his yearly shots that he's supposed to get. Long story short - my cat did have an appetite after the injection (same day) BUT after giving him the other medication via mouth - it seems like his symptoms got worse. He started drooling at the mouth and still has liquid diarrhea. At this point, I just purchased some stuff from Petco based off the reviews and hope that does the trick. The previous Dr that owned the practice literally charged me $35 for medication that actually worked - my cat was healed in about 2-3 days. The staff were nice - the Dr was very nice- everyone was great!! However, the issue wasn't resolved smh.

MatchDog Rescue has given me and my bf our first love, Hewitt…read more Before attending the event in Atco, we were given a phone call with a proper run down on how the event would work so we were not confused when we got there. They are extremely communicative, and the events are usually held on Saturdays, but the transport that was bringing the dogs in had troubles and the event ultimately had to be moved to Sunday. I had my phone call at about 11:15 and about 1 PM hours later I was informed about the date change. It is not a typical adoption shelter that I have been to in the past. At the event, there is a ticket system, as in, the earlier you get there the earlier you will be called. While you wait you mingle with the volunteers and the dogs. You get a vibe on which dog feels like the best fit for you. However, be mindful that the crew with MatchDog Rescue does their due diligence and wants the best for EVERY SINGLE DOG. We went to the event with a very specific dog in mind. One that was on the medium/large end. However, the staff that reviewed our application and lifestyle, let us know that the dog might not be the best fit for us in terms of training and size of our home. While it was disappointing to hear, we knew at heart we wanted what was best for the dog and us. As mentioned before there is a mingling period while waiting to be called on by staff. During this period you can meet dogs of all ages, sizes, and all types OUTSIDE of dog cages. We had met several different dogs during this period, just to name a few that I can remember, Nevada, Hewitt, Cassidy, Dukie, and Garret. We bonded with several dogs early on, but with our hearts set on a specific dog, we just enjoyed their presence. However, after being informed that the dog we had our hearts set on was not a good fit for us, we knew which of the many dogs we met during the mingling period we wanted to go on a walk with. We asked if Hewitt was a good fit for us, confirmed he was, took him on a little stroll around the lot, and knew that our hearts were set on him. We went through the process of adopting him and each volunteer we worked with, remembered Hewitt and always told us how he was such a great dog and a cute little snippet or fun fact about Hewitt. There was never a doubt in my mind that Hewitt was not loved under their care. On our way out with Hewitt, the last volunteer that we worked with walked us to our car, ensuring that Hewitt was buckled in and safe and had their very loving and sad goodbyes with each other. Hewitt has been with us for about a week. We are a very calm, but active couple and Hewitt matches exactly that for us. When we are relaxing, he is relaxing. When we are running, Hewitt is right there running with us. It is not something that I considered when I was looking into adopting a dog, but I am extremely grateful the staff at MDR let us know before adopting a dog. If ever in the future I am looking for a second dog, there is no doubt in my mind that MDR will be the first adoption agency I look into.

Match Dog Rescue is an incredibly organized, compassionate, thoughtful, and well-run organization…read more They go to great lengths to vet potential adopters and match dogs with the right "Furever" family. Their volunteers coordinate with partner rescues in areas with an abundance of overcrowded, high-kill shelters. They travel to these areas, rescue and transport the pooches to New Jersey, where dedicated fosters await their arrival. The fosters nurture, care for and partner with veterinary professionals to ensure that the rescued pups are primed to thrive in their new "Furever" homes.

Dr Joshi is truly one of a kind. No matter the issue, he will do all he can to treat your pets…read more My 3 month old beautiful Pug puppy was given a 2%chance of survival from kidney failure, but Dr Joshi didnt give up. Treated my puppy for two weeks. Daily blood work, all possible treatments and then put him in Oxygen therapy after researching ways to help my puppy. With Oxygen therapy the kidneys began to heal. Faest forward 13 years later, same pug had a bladder full of stones. Horrible to watch how he suffered. Dr Joshi removed the stones, cleaned and removed some bad teeth, and removed a cancerous tumor. Since the pug was at high-risk of a throat collapse, giving him anesthesia was very risky..once again my pug was at death's door and Dr Joshi brought him back. Pug is doing wonderful. My cat Gary, now 15 years old, had a major infection in his gums. Again, Dr Joshi agreed to try surgery. Gary had to be on life support. Gary struggled to wake up after anesthesia given his age and frail condition. He was a 20 lb cat and is now a 10 lb cat because of the infection. He simply stopped eating for several weeks. But Dr Joshi didnt give up and brought him back to life. Dr Joshi brings them back from the dead! Thanks to him never giving up, my two beautiful pets are alive and well today. Thank you Dr Joshi for all that you do and for caring so much for helpless animals. Keep it up! They need you!

My heart is racing typing this. This was my dog's clinic for a couple of years and one Tuesday…read moreafternoon I brought him in because he had trouble standing and had tremor (his body and all his legs). I knew something wasn't right. They told me because of his age (he was 14 and half), his arthritis was acting up so they gave him a shot for the pain and sent us home with painkillers. His spirits were up and he was walking and playing until Saturday night. On Saturday night that same week, his condition had worsened and he started to have seizures so I took him to an emergency clinic where they did further testing and discovered a neurological issue that eventually took his life early Sunday morning. I cannot understand how no one thought to do further exams or scanning when I went earlier that week at the Clark Animal Hospital. No xray, no blood test, no physical exam, nothing. You want to be able to trust these professionals to provide the best possible care and trust that they are doing everything they can for your pet. In that moment, I believed I could trust them, yet it still wasn't enough to save my baby. This place is careless and incompetent. I hate to think that my baby suffered in his final hours having numerous seizures and being in pain without any warning or preparation. This review doesn't even begin to describe our pain (his pain and ours until forever probably), but these were the worst 2 days of our lives. I cannot help to think that if they did their job right and discovered something, I would've made sure that he wasn't in pain or suffering in his final hours. Save your money and your lovely fur baby and take them to someone who cares and will take the right steps when they need it the most!!!
