I have seen how hard the volunteers work and how much they really care for all of the dogs that come into the rescue. I have worked with a lot of Non-Profits and this one is run very much the same as a lot of smaller non-profits. People who love what they do and could use a bit more organizational help and many many more volunteers. There is also room for improvement but when it comes to love and care of the animals, they are overflowing. I would recommend anyone to work with Adopt me.

I can't say enough good things about XL Canine Rescue…read more Once upon a time there was a girl whose mom despised dogs. (More like Despise, with a capital D.) When she left the nest to go off to college, she desperately wanted a pupper but knew with classes she had no time-- yet. This girl had Great Danes on the brain. Because, you know, as a college student she had an apartment and they are notorious 'apartment dogs.' (Or so they say.) Also, did we mention her mom Despised dogs? A dog as big of a horse with jowls for days and endless drool would really get under her skin undoubtedly... which is all a twenty-something daughter could hope for. Well, years passed. Other dog breeds came into her life... but her desire for a Great Dane never faded. Alas, one day she found XL Canine Rescue and there was a gorgeous Dane, named Duchess. She didn't even consult her partner -- instantly putting in an application for the harlequin young lady. XL Canine contacted her right away and setup a virtual interview. The interview was thorough and informative. But, ultimately, Duchess wasn't for her family. The girl, now woman, was heartbroken. XL Canine promised to reach out if another Great Dane (that was dog friendly, kid friendly and non-aggressive) came their way. And you know what? ONE DID. Winston, a goofy black mantel Dane was a stray and seemed to fit the bill. He was currently being fostered with two other Danes in Illinois. (The rescue thought he was a match and reached out prior to him even being on the website.) The woman and her family drove an hour away to meet the leggy gentleman and introduce their sassy Boston Terrier, Ada. It was love at first sniff. The Great Dane is now in his fur-ever home, though his name is Marv now because he just wasn't as regal as a Winston should be. XL Canine Rescue was easy to work with, affordable, and really does have their dogs' best interests at heart. They definitely do their research on homes between the application and the interview-- as they really do want the adoption to workout. XL Canine Rescue has reached out periodically to ensure Marvin is thriving over the years. Checkout their website and adopt your own Marvin.

We adopted our sweet Rudie from Shelter From The Storm seven years ago, and they gave us the gift…read moreof some of the most wonderful years we could have ever asked for. From the start, it was clear how much the staff truly cares for every animal that comes through their doors. They made sure Rudie, then called Dana, was healthy, loved, and ready for her forever home. These pics are from the day we drove from Chicago to Madison to bring her home. Over the years, we came to understand what people mean when they say, "who rescued who." Rudie brought more love, laughter, and comfort into our lives than we could ever have imagined. We're deeply grateful for the joy she gave us and for the compassion this shelter shows every single day. We lost Rudie last month, and while our hearts are heavy, we're endlessly thankful for the seven beautiful years we shared. She was family in every sense, and that's because this shelter gave her such a strong start. The love, care, and respect they show every animal make all the difference. Losing her reminds us just how special adoption truly is. Thank you for helping us find our best friend.

I showed up that day and they asked me about preferences then brought out a super cute puppy (I have since named her Vivian!) for me to meet. I asked lots of questions and the person working with me answered them easily, which felt good to me because it indicated they know the dogs at their shelter and are prepared with the information potential adopters need. I spent time with Vivian and she was confident and cuddly, and after bringing my first dog to meet her and seeing them interact positively, I said I was ready for the next steps. I adopted her and she's been super sweet and cuddly, what a lovely pup :)

I can't express enough how awesome IHA is. We scheduled our 1.5 year old grey tabby to be spayed on…read moreTuesday morning, and had her back the following morning. Safe, sound, and resting peacefully (Pictured below in her favourite spot). Note: We were able to snag someone's cancellation by calling on Monday. Otherwise, it appears appointments are a month + out as of 3/2022. Intake was amazing as staff met everyone coming in that day at the door and assisted with initial paperwork. Our kitty was just past her follow-up shot regimen for rabies and distemper, which the clinic provided at a minimal cost. Overall, our bill was just over 90$ which included nail trimming/capping (10$), shots, spaying, pain medication, overnight stay, as well as a microchipping fee (25$). This is far, far less then the range of prices we were quoted at other local animal veterinarian/hospitals. (Anywhere from 250$ to 1050$, just to *spay* alone.) Although a bit of a drive for those living in Hiawatha/Marion/North CR, the cost and level of care make it worth your time. If you choose to utilize IHA for your pet healthcare needs, please be sure to add a little extra when you pay to help keep this local non-profit going.

Recently my dog has had some bloodwork issues - my vet asked if they could see the bloodwork from his neutering appt. to see if maybe the bloodwork is just normal for him(dog) however when I called Underdog to get the bloodwork they said they didn't do any-because we(dogs owners) didn't request it. This is something that should always be done and I am guessing the rescue place didn't want to pay for that therefore not important. My dogs life is important to me so If you take your dog or cat or whatever pet to this clinic - make sure you are asking the right questions - I personally wouldn't go here again. That test is to help find anything that might cause a problem during the operation. I would find another clinic.
